VA. TOBACCO ASSO.
ABSORBED BY co.

Danville, Va, Dec 4-The Vir-
ginia Tobacco Growers Protective
association, which was formed year
ago in a spontaneous effort to regu-
late the prices paid for leaf tobacco.
was disbanded yesterday at the first
annual meeting.
On motion offered by Joseph M.
Hurt, of Nottaway, the growers as
sociation became absorbed by the
Virginia Cooperative Marketing as
months ago as subsidiary to the lar
ger association. Following the adop-
tion of this motion, Jas. H Warren,
president; r. Logan Coleman, vice.
of the growers association, rendered
their resignation and the original or
ganization became extinct. The execu-
tive committee is winding up the
financial affairs of the growers asso-
citation and the surplus funds will be
taken over by the Cooperative Mar
keting association, which today has
more members than the defunct body.
1t was held that the marketing as
sociation has become far more vital
organization than the other and that
there was no need of maintaining two
organizations and double dues for
the purpose of improving the far
mers condition, and that it were
best that the most potential body alb
sorb the other. The action was taken
without protest. Mr.. Warren later
said that virtually every member of
the Tobacco Growers association is a
member of the cooperative market
ing organization.
The next step will be the election
If delegates in Virginia, North and
South Carolina for joint meeting of
the cooperative marketing organiza-
tion at Raleigh, N. c., in January,

mittee in the three states will be
elected. There will be one delegate

CONTROLLING OF
 PINE EBEETLESIS
 PRACTICABLE

WASHINGTON, May 16 (by Associ- ated Press) s).-Control of the southern pine beetle is entirely practicable, the department of agriculture says in a statement calling attention that more merchantable timber was killed in the southern pine belt as a result of it's operations in the last thirty years than died from all other causes con- bined. One remedy suggested is that any trees that die during late summer and fall, de cut and utilized for timber of fuel, care being exercised that the bark of the main trunk is burneed to insure control of the beetle.
 The insect is described as a small brownish or black beetle, somewhat smaller than a grain of rice. It flies from March to December in the more southern sections and from May to Mo- vember in it's northern range. It at- tacks the middle and upper portations of the trunks of healthy pine trees, causing their death by excavating long, winding burrows, or egg galler- ies, which extend through the inner
 ayers of tie living bark and mark the surface of the wood

'EHEART OF WETONA"
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Norma Talmabge end Thomas Mcighan, two of the most popular young people on the screen today, in an appealing romance of the wild wood, "The Heart of Wetona," is booked at the Empress.
 Everyone loves nature, beautiful love story and splendid acting. All are combined in this powerful play, center ing around tlie passions of the Red nan and the White.
 An Indian girl who would skield the man that wronged her; vengeful Father seeking the life of the betray- CT; and a man who Ioves the girl and strong central figures around which the story is woven. An old, cid story that is ever new-a picture convincing and appealing because of the faithful interpretation, the. splendid settings and the able direction with which 1t is produced The entertainment value of"The Heart of Wetona" lies in the we'll deserved popularity of the stars, nd in the fact that it is out of the or dinary different from the general run of motion pictures.
 One of the clever Goldwyn Brays, combining interesting tropical and ed ucational pictures with an amusing cartoon is a feature of tonights pro- gram. in addition, a News reel will be shown.

matters.
A strong delegation from Cross
Bridges appeared before the board
and asked for an additional teacher.
There is already an enrolment of
eighty-fve in the neW school although
it has been in operation only a week
and it is contended that two teachers

From Fridays Daily Herald. J

(From Fridays Daily Herald)
While there is decrease in the
number of marriage licenses issued
in November as compared with the
same month of last year there was a
marked improvement in the number
of divorce bills fled in the county In
other words while marriages are
seemingly less frequent it is indicat-
ed that they are going to last longer,
There were thirty-seven marriages in
the county during the month and only
seven divorce bills were filed. The
ratio of divorces is therefore less than
one to five marriages. In some months
the divorces have been thirty per cent
of the marriages and this was the av-
erage for last year. In November last
year there were fortyseven marriage
license issued, q falling off this year
of ten.

Taking advantage of the first ap-

weather, the farmers of Maury county
are Staying porkers, large and small,
in all sections today. AS soon as the
elements indicated Sunday afternoon

might be propitious today for the saw

make their preparations to Stay tire
porkers. They were ready for slaught-
en- in fact they have been ready and
waiting for many days for suitable
weather
The farmers who did not kill were
unable to do so because the labor
supply would not go around 1t is i'm
possible for all the farmers in one
locality to kill hogs on the same day
It is a task that requires too much
labor SO that more than one cold spell
is necessary to finish up the jobs.
Thousands of hogs were killed in
the county today. Every where the
smoke from fires heating water in the
scalders was visible at an early hour
and the last 'squeal' of the dying
porker5 rent the frosty air. There will

all of the other accessories of hog

There will be a large number Of
hogs packed in the county for com
mercial purposes The low prices of
hogs on foot, reducing the risk CT
packing them to minimum will en-
courage many farmers to pack a few
head for the market. There are sew
eral farmers who will kill hundred
or more. E. N. Woolard, of the first
district, one of the biggest packers
in the county for many years, has al
ready killed over a hundred head, say
ing them by liberal applications of ice.
He expects to kill many more. The
Culleoka Produce Company is today
killing the first installment Of more
than a hundred head that it will pack.
If the weather forecast proves cor
rect tomorrow will not he as good day
for killing as today. Warmer wealth
