Largest Summer School
In History

Chapel Hill, N. c., August
The.:largest summer school in
the history of the University
and of the State was formally
closed August 5, and the great
majority of the nearly 1900
students left Chapel Hill for
their homes. A number of
teachers who took state eXamina-
tions for teachers certificates re-
NAMED two days longer.
Still at the University, how
ever, are more than a score Of
social workers whose course in
the public welfare institute will
not be finished until the first
week in September, and some So
odd students in the summer law
school who will be there until the
end of the month when they 60
to Raleigh to stand the bar
examination. Justice William r.
Allen, of the state supreme
court, is assisting in putting the
final polish on the young lawyers,
one of whom is a woman, Miss
Katherine Robinson, of Fayette-
vile. She won the Callaghan
law prize this spring at the Uni
versity.
In a few days another school
will be started, a ten days. in
structional period for the
40 field agents of the state COM
munity service bureau under the
direction of W. C. Crosby, and
partly overlapping this group,
the field agents of the state de-
partment of education who, under
the direction of Miss Elizabeth
Kelley, are fighting adult litter
acy in North Carolina.
One change has been made in
the late summer program at the
University. The State and
County Council, which had bean
scheduled for August 1919, has
been postponed because of a con-
hict of dates with the general
assembly. When the dates were
set originally, it was thought
that the special session would
convene much sooner, and the
council was to follow. But the
necessary late session in Raleigh
will keep Governor Beckett and
many of the state department
heads closely in Raleigh. An
announcement is expected soon
as to the exact date of the coun-
ell, probably late in the Mll or
in the winter.
The community service wor-
kers, attending their first school
at the University, will find full
program Of study awaiting them

ARMY WOKM In Halifax
COUNTY

The army worm which is now
in Halifax County will not dam.
age cotton, but will eat grass,
young corn, millet, sorghum and
other plants Of the grass family.
This caterpilla starts its work
down in the Gulf States, and
gradually works its way north
ward, arriving in this state later
in the season.
Poisoning with arsenate Of
lead and Paris green will help
control the pest. Spraying the
poison in solution with water is
the best method, though busting
it on the fields while dew or 9TH
er moisture is on the leaves will
kill considerable numbers of the
worms. The following proper
tions of poison should be used.
One pound of powdered ar.
senate of lead to so gallons of
water. This solution is best for
corn, asit will not burn the lea
YES like Paris green will. Where
powdered arsenate Of lead can be
secured this is far the safer
material to use. Even two pounds
to so gallons of water will be
alright.
In using Paris green, which
should not be used on corn, l
pound of Paris green, and four
parts of freshly slaked stone lime,
should be used to so gallons of
water.
A mash made up as follows,
may be used with good results,
especially on lawns, and places
where no sprayer is available.
so lbs. bran, 6 finely chopped
lemons, 2 gallons of cheap mo-
lasses, 2 lbs. of powdered arsen-
ate of lead, or some other arsen-
ate poison, together with two or
three gallons of water, all mixed
to a soft mash and scattered over
the grass or other vegetation.
If the caterpillars are very
numerous and are advancing to
other fields, a deep furrow should
be made across their line of ad-
vance so that the worms will be
caught in this, and later killed by
a log up and down the
furrow. Post holes dug at inter-
walls along the furrow will serve
as additional traps, into which
the worms will fall, after crawl
ing along the furrow. A little
kerosene poured over them will
put them out of business.
The caterpillars will at times
disappear, they having gone into
the ground an inch or two to
change to a moth. At this time
a shallow cultivation, if possible
will destroy a great many, and
50 prevent so many moths from
coming out and laying more eggs
for another crop of caterpillars.
BY all means a close watch
should be kept on the grass etc.
so that the caterpillars will be
discovered early, and controlmea-
sures taken atonce to stampthem
out.

County Agent.

ROSEMARY-R0ANOKE RAPIDS
DEFEATS KELFORD

WYNN o"0NJ PiNSih6 oiAu
steady hitting by the whole
Roanoke Rapids Rosemary club
the strong Kelford team met its
waterloo on last Saturday on the
local field in Rosemary to the
tune of go. 1t was just to much
Holden and Cannon that was the
undoing of the undefeated Kel-
ford nine. Holden slashed out
two singles, one double and lift
ed the pill over the left wall for
a circuit smash with two men on
in the eighth. Cannon connected
for two singles and a double in
five trips to the rubber.
The game started off with
snap and pep, the first three
men that faced Shields were easy
outs and Hoggard famed the
first two mon who faced him and
caused the next to pop up. Roa-
noke Rapids Rosemary drew first
blood in the second when Ruth
slashed a hot one thru short too
hot for Jenkins to handle, then a
singing single by Holden and
two errors by Hall and Taylor re-
spectively allowed the local team
to net three runs. Both teams
played air tight ball until the
sixth when Kelford brought
hope to her aspirants by scoring
two runs when Hoggard, the
first man up, slammed one
against the fence, Hall following
with a double to right and two
singles by Acree and Shoulses.
Shields frightened and famed the
next two batters. The locals
scored again in sixth when
Branch was given a life on first,
Wallis tumble and Cannon's two
base hit to center.
The game was put on ice in the
seventh when the whole local
team batting around batted
'Kelford's" Hoggard all over
the field. A double, three sim
giles mingled with two errors
called up the score six. 1t was
the eighth that sent the Kelford
team to the dug out. Ruth and
Zollicoffer were safe on two err
rors, then at this period Hollowell
and Hoggard held a caucus to
keep Holden from getting his
accustomed hit. 1t was nothing
to their advantage for the first
ball that Hoggard threw came
into direct contract with a big
black 'swatter" swung by Hol-
den. The ball did not succeed in
over twenty feet from
the ground but it landed just ten
feet acrossthe road. Ruth and
zollicoffer raced home ahead of
Holden.
The ninth was easy outs for
Shields. Shields allowed z hits
and Hoggard IA. Hall and Hog
gard featured at the bat for Kel.
ford.
The largest crowd of the sea-
son sawthe game and people from
the surrounding country came to
see a good game and they receiv-
ed their moneys worth. The
two teams are going to play
again on next Saturday August
21. Come out and see Weldon
and the locals tie up this Satur-
day.

BY PRESIDENT WILSON; OVER
100000 ACRES OPENED UP
Naval Reserve Oil Fields In Califor

Washington. President Wilson has
signed the oil land leasing bill, which
opens up for development millions OF
acres of land in the west
Louisiana, with $4,000 acres, con-
tains the third largest area Of oil lands
made available for lease.
The total area of oil lands thrown
open for lease under the bill is es-
timated by the geological survey at
more than 100000 acres, while prov
en- coal lands under government with
drawal total approximately 30O00,00O
acres, with 100000 acres still to be
classified. Phosphate lands are esti-
mated at 100000 acres, with sodium

extensive.
California, with 1,1S9,2O0 acres of
withdrawn oil and gas lands, and Wy
oming, with 1,151,629 acres, lead the
other states in the extent and rich
ness of their oil deposits.
The naval reserve oil lands in Cal
ifornia and Wyoming are not made
available for public leasing under the

would report to the proper officials

OF the gigantic organization, Gre
ated by former Director General Nc
Adoo as a wartime expedient, only a
small part will remain. Regional Of

prising the director generals staff
will cease to function as such at the

gone back to their former places as

Mr.. Hines will continue in his pres

though without any railroads to direct
he still faces the settlement of liter.
ally thousands of claims, contracts
and grievances. Only lat Of the 23O
compensation contracts with the cor.
porations actually were signed during
government control and the remand

negotiations. Damage claims have
arisen, of which many still are pend
ing. Labor has several thousand cases
before the government wage boards
and Mr.. Hines has assured the labor
spokesman that these will be conclud,
ed. Some will require the payment OF
retroactive wages if decided in favor
of the workers and others will mean
the establishment of Interpretation OF
agreements, which labor, of course,
will refuse to have altered by the cor
porations. Many affect general labor
policies and represent vitality impor'
