The boil weevil is a serious
problem, and is as much the prob
lem of the business man as of
the cotton grower, but it is not
necessary to magnify it as they
still grow plenty of cotton prof
itably futher south where it has
been established for years.
The problem is not a sudden
change to diversification but a
gradual diversification and adap-
tation to methods of farming un-
der boil weevil conditions. Now
is the time to prepare and study
this problem so that you may not
be a victim and suffer great
losses thru lack of knowledge on
this subject.
Get reliable information from
county agents, and the State De-
partment of Agriculture which
are always at your service and
solicit your inquiries. Write for
pamphlets and information and

Molasses on a Stick
Will Tell Whether
Water is in Gasoline

A little daub of cheap molasses
on a plain pine stick in the hands
of 81 state oil inspectors in Min
nesota has saved automobile
owners thousands of dollars in
fuel during the last year.
Incidentally the "molasses on a
stick" test for discovering water
in gasoline has gone out from
Minnesota to a dozen other states,
and promises to become univer.
sally adopted.
These facts were disclosed last
night by Hja!mar Nilsson, state
oil inspector, who devised the
simple test
A year ago, Mr.. Nilsson and
his 81 inspectors were having
trouble finding a simple test for
detecting the amount of water in
gasoline. All tests were too com.
picked, taking much time. Then
one day Mr.. Nilsson hit upon the
notion of 'molasses on a stick. y

Water, being heavier than gas
oline, always sinks to the bot
tom of the tank. A stick Dip
ped in cheap molasses glides
through the gasoline without
showing any effect on the molas-
ses. But when the molasses
strikes the water, the molasses
comes off the stick. When the
stick is withdrawn, the exact
amount of water in the bottom
of the tank is clearly revealed.
State inspectors meet every
tank of gasoline which comes on
the railroad now, and slip in
their molasses stick. They fire.
quently visit dealers and again
the stick is in evidence. As a
result, there is a little water in
Minnesota gasoline tanks today.
The latest convert to "molas-
ses on a stick" is H. H. Motter,
state oil inspector of Kansas.
Mr., Motter motored through Min
nesota this summer. He stop
ped at a filling station and the
man in charge showed him the
simple test. Mr.. Motter went
back to Kansas and started to
test every tank in the state. He
found plenty of water and now
every dealer in Kansas is being
supplied with ''molasses on q
stick. Minneapolis Tribune.

What is N. c. Doing
With Boil Weevil?

The boil weevil is here and here
to stay and unless the farmers of
the infested territory are differ
ent from the farmers in other
states they and the business men
who are backing them are going
to lose money during the next
two or three years. In spite of
all of the warnings sent out by
the State Department of Agricul-
ture, the N. c. State College
and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the experience
of all other sections of the cotton
belt, there has been very little
done by the farmers of this state
to prepare for conditions they
are sure to face.
1t is safe to assume that the
farmers have not believed the
weevil was coming or that if it
did come it would do very little
damage. Farmers in other sec
tions have done the same thing
and paid the price and unless
there is a decided change in SEN
timent among the farmers and
business men Of this state there
will be a repetition of the same
history, following invasion of the
boil weevil.
If cotton is to be grown the
first thing to do will be to see
your county agent and have him
advise you as to the best varie-
ties of cotton to grow under vice.
vii conditions, of fertilization and
cultivation and then follow his
advice.
Do not attempt to grow more
than five acres of cotton per
horse crop until you have had
two or three years experience
under weevil conditions. Let
your county agent advise you re-
lative to the use of poisons and
other remedies for exterminat-
ing the weevil. There is sure to

Goldenrod Troop on Hike

The Goldenrod troop went on a
hike last Friday afternoon, Miss
Keyserling our captain and Miss
Coble had charge of the troop.
A great many girls were able to
pass part of their tenderfoot
test. After having played sever
al games the girls ate the nice
lunch they had brought. The
troop returned home by moon
light saying they had had a
jolly good time. We hope to be
able to 60 again very soon.

DISMISS CHARGE
AGAINST P. c. DUNCAN
Preliminary Hearing Before Recorder
A. L. Clark Results in Dismissal oi
Embezzlement Charge Against For
mer Manager Of Duncan's lncorpor-
ated.
PROSECUTION PRESENTS WEAK CASE

Paul G. Duncan, former man.
ager of Duncan's, Incorporated
charged by V. c. Matthews with
the embezzlement Of a sum esti-
mated at five thousand dollars
from that company, was dis
charged by Recorder A. L. Clark,
after the preliminary hearing on
last Monday failed, in His Hon
or's opinion, to bring out testi-
mony to justify the case being
carried to Superior Court.
The prosecution placed several
witnesses on the stand who tes-
titled that they had received
checks from Mr.. Duncan, drawn
by the corporation, in payment
of his private obligations to them,
but did not introduce testimony
to show that these checks had
been charged to the accounts of
the corporation by Mr.. Duncan.
Other testimony was to the effect
that Mr.. Duncan had cashed a
money order sent to pay an obli-
cation due the corporation with
out turning the money over to
the corporation. Although Mr..
Duncan did not go on the stand
himself, it was brought out that
he had used the money to pay
his wife for work done in the
store taking inventory.
No audit of the books of the
corporation was introduced into
the testimony and it was patent
before the summing up by coun-
sci that the prosecution had fail
ed to score. Mr.. Duncan was
represented by Attorneys Doug
las, of Raleigh, and VIM. L.
Knight, of Weldon. Attorneys
Geo. C. Green and E. A. Mat

ton.

Loses to Emporia

the season at Roanoke Rapids
played Sat. Oct. 9th, and the
first game ever played by the
boys at Roanoke Rapids High
School, the team from Emporia
High School defeated the local
team by a narrow score of 6 to O..
The touchdown came in the
second quarter of the game when
the fast back field Of the EN-
porla team completely boxed in
the right end of the locals and
ran forty yards to the goal line.
Try at goal was not allowed by
Referee Simpson for the reason
that after the touchdown the
ball was placed upon the ground
in the field of play and not i'm
mediately kicked thereafter.
The Roanoke Rapids team
came back in the second half
with much stronger defensive
tactics and their goal was not
again in serious danger.
The interference by the En-
poria team together with the
ground gaining ability of their
experienced back field, which
was unusually fast and heavy,
were the particular features
worthy of mention.
The forward passes Of the
Roanoke Rapids team, which
failed to count scores through
fumbles, were otherwise we'll
planned and executed. The
work of Capt. Wyche ct quarter
back, Wick at Right Half and
Cannon at Left End was partic-
ularly good. The team was
weakened by the loss of Vaughan
at Center and Johnson at Right
Guard. The work of Welsh at
Center under this. handicap was
very good.
The whole local team realized
the advantage gained from the
experience of a match game,
and Coach Simpson expressed
satisfaction with progress the
team had made. He realizes
that the personnel of the team
includes splendid material for a
football team to cope with any
in the state when they have had
the advantage of experience.
