INSECT ENEMY OF CURRANTS
Common Worm Can Be Controlled by
Spraying With Some Poison
Two Other Pests.

The chief insect enemy the currant
has is the common currant worm. This
can be controlled by spraying with
some poison, either paris green at the
rate of five ounces to 80 gallons of wa
ter, and one pound of lime, or arsenate
Of lead, two pounds to so gallons. This
should be applied when the currants
are beginning to form, and IL neces-
sary repeated in two weeks.
There is also green plant louise
which attacks the currant foliage and
frequently causes considerable dam
age by sucking the sap. The only way
this can be controlled is by the APP
plicatiOn of Black Leaf 40, before the
lice cause the leaves to curl. After
the leaves curl, there Is very little
that can be done to check this pest.
1t usually disappears about midsum-
mer, as at that time it goes to an
other plant.
Occasionally the currant is attacked
by the San Jose scale, or more FIRE.
quently by the European plant scale.
Either Of these scales can be ccntroll-
ed by the regular application OF
lime-sulphur before the buds start
In the spring. The regular CONNER
cial lime-sulphur testing 81 de-
grees Beaume should be diluted at the
ratio Of one gallon to eight ounces Of
water.

The following summary is given in
the report:
I. Careful picking and handling of
strawberries to prevent bruising and
mechanical injuries is of fundamental
Importance. Prompt and thorough
cooling is necessary to reduce losses
from decay in transit
2. The use of salt Immediately after
loading and again at the first reicing,
about twelve hours later, is desirable
in order to hasten the rate of cooling
when cars can be had which are equip

and solid insulated bulkheads. About

plication and one per cent at the Sec
Ond is advised unless the temperature
of the fruit when loaded is lower than
so degrees Fahrenheit, in which case
less salt should be used.
8. Loading crates higher than four
layers in the car is to be avoided as
far as possible in cars of standard
length. Extra space in the center OF
the car can be eliminated by bracing
with wedges instead of using long
bracing strips.

Strawberry growers can prevent

careless handling and improper trans

United States department of agricul-
ture, who conducted an investigation
in northwestern Arkansas and south
western Missouri to determine the
best methods of handling strawberries

GOODBYE OLD YEAR.

Written for The Robesonian by Ethel
Vincie Hayes of Elrod).
Nineteen Eighteen, you're getting old,
And soon will cease to be-
Many good deeds you'll leave to be
told,
In our great history
You brought us many troubles,
And brought US joy, too.
You took our boys and made soldiers,
To fight for the Red, White and Blue.
And brave soldiers they were,
Fighting across the sea,
And soon the news was sent back here,
The great news of their victory.
So goodbye, old year, forever,
A New Year takes your place.
Your good deeds we will remember,
Though we never again see your face

In the death of Mrs. R. D. Caldwell
Lumberton loses a good woman whose
influence will live to bless this town
and community. Outside the inner cir
Gle of her love and care her passing
brings sense of personal loss to a
multitude of people. Her good deeds
shone afar and her influence for good
spread in overwhelming circles the
farthest reach of which eternity alone
can tell. On Christmas morning,
shortly after she had remarked upon
the beauty of Christmas carols waited
to her from earthly voices lifted in
the street below, she fell on sleep;
and her free spirit was awakened by
angel voices waited to her from on
high from heavenly choir singing
gladder carols. This community pays
tribute tt the worth of such life.
May her rest be sweet.

If you are not attending the Nc
Lendon meetings you are missing the
biggest thing that has come this way
in years. "Cyclone Mack's" style may
jolt you at first, if you are frozen Up
and don't want to be thawed out, but
if you attend a few services you will
be caught up by the sheer force Of the
tremendous earnestness of the man in
his zeal for lost souls and you'll for
get all about any prejudices you may
have. There are no frills about the
gospel he breaches. He is laundering
against all manner of meanaass and
wickedness and calling men to repent
ance. There is no reason why any
one who wants to see Lumberton a
better community in every way and
who wants to see men saved, who
wants to see churches revived and
galvanized into new life and Sunday
schools and prayermeetings overflow
ing, should not cooperate with the
efforts being made in this evangelistic
campaign.

Ladies Urged to Join WomSns Club
and Direct Energies to Building
Up Town and Community.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The war being ended, the activities
of our community recently absorbed by
the Red Cross, and other war agencies,
begins to be again directed to the usu-
al channels of civil life.
Doubtless for a time to come the
Red Cross society, together with all
other organizations in the town will
be largely engaged in aiding charita-
BILE and reconstructive work here, and
in Europe; however, the emergency
lessened, the splendid community spir-
it and organization will necessarily
be dissipated, unless our energies be
directed toward another object.
May we not make the development
of our splendid town the object Of
our concentrated energy.
Through the women's club, and the
reorganization of our men in the
Board of Trade, wonderful possibilities
may be realized.
AS the home mirrors the life and
tastes Of the inmates, SO q town por-
trays the life and spirit Of q commu-
nifty.
The women Of the town are most
cordially invited to become members

Million Bale Cotton Crop.

The prediction is made by Commits
sioner w. A. Graham that the final
ginning reports on the 1918 cotton
crop in North Carolina will put tie
figures for the total crop at at least
million bales, the biggest crop the
State ever had, with the exception CT
the 1911 crop, when the crop round
ID out little more than a million
bales.
The reports already show around
100000 bales as ginned, and there are
lots of cotton not only yet to be gin
ned, but actually in the field Yet IN
picked. He says it is most fortunate
for the cotton n the last mentioned
condition that the weather has been 50
mild and for the most part, dry, thus
keeping the quality Of the cotton ex-
'osed to the weather in mach better
condition.
