post holes along it and touching the
tar. AS the bugs travel along the
line, they fall into the holes, which are
funneled out at the top. Mr.. DALEY
patrolled the line and kept the slop-
ing sides of the holes covered with
dust, which insured every bug that
stepped over the edge rolling clear to
the bottom.
1t was found necessary to strengthen
the tar line near the holes as the bugs
would crowd up in the angle and
crowd each other across. The tar
line was widened for few feet OF
each side of the holes. (The same
effect might have been gained BIZ
curving the tar line to eliminate the
angles between the holes and the
line) .-....--
After completing construction of the
line, Daley patrolled it, kept dust
sprinkled on the slopes of the holes.
and sprayed keosene into the bottoms
of the holes to kill the bugs before
they managed to get out. That this
policy though laborious, was effective.

found in the holes, and the freedom

In an interview published in the

Barton of that place says:

the past two weeks, assisting in or
ganlzing cotton marketing. Union
county has about 500 small farm
county has about 1900 small farm
farmers up there average about six
bales OF cotton to the farm. They
have good barns and outbuildings,
neat cottage houses, they have soy
beans in their corn, red clover in
their grain stubble. and more good
corn, sorghum and pasturage than
any county | have visited. When a
farmer signs the marketing contract
there. in the majority of cases, he
reaches into his overall pocket for
the SO fee or draws check. How
ever he realizes what the marketing
system holds In store for him and Is
signing. They are supporting 90
buyers in that county and they refer
to them as toll gates" and agree
that the $50. 100000 that goes
through the toll gates" of North

ulative route. can be closed by our
cooperative marketing system, and
the whole product sold 10 the mills

cost. They use only about 300 to
500 pounds of fertilizers per acre
and as SOY beans and production con-
tinues. they will reduce this expense
eventually to nothing but acid phos-
plate on red land. and acid phos-
plate and potash on black jack

how to make nature pay the fertili-
zerzer bills and TO conserve rainfall
instead of praying for rain. God

OF thieves and robbers on the road

beast and carry him in great pain to
an inn. II Mr.. Higgins was on his
way from Monroe to Marshville and
had a like experience in those big
woods just west of Mr.. Joe Webb's,
the least he would expect of his
neighbor would be to come along
in Ford and la, him comfortably
on the rear seat and in three min

the Ellen Fitzgerald Hospital and in

CHANGING MORALS TOO BIG
OF A JOB FOR PREACHERS
Mir. Dunlap Cites Instances of Where
Ministers Came TO Grief for Figh,
.igailst immortality.

To tie Editor of The Journal
A few issues back The Journal car
rled a very able editorial on the
remedy for improving our low moral
standard The editor suggested that
the only worth while effort at i'm
proven ent was TO us to 90 back to
the cradle and raj e up new gener-
aticn OF boys and girls with cleaner,
higher life motives. A good sugges-
ton, this is. In fact. it's the only
remedy, and hiatt no joke. But
who's going 10 do the teaching? The
editor says the preachers and teach
ers can change the trend by throw
ing their weight in the fight, and, l
suppose. denouncing the evils and
holding up good TO put in their
places.
would just like to suggest that
it's very dangerous position flor a
preacher to. take. and not many of
them are going to take It; not until
they get ready to lose their job.
We knew a young preacher in a
certain town not many years ago
who undertook TO expose some OF
the clU's CD clubs. and in doing so
he painted them pretty dark. He
said they were not "fitten" places for
decent men to frequent. much less
young ladies. and especially church
members. He intimated strongly
that they the clubs-were run for
and patronized by heightened society
folks who did things while In at
tendance that were not Christlike.
In a very short while that preacher
handed In his resignation and hunt
ed him a new field.
Another case similar to this hap
pened In town not very far from
the same spot and resulted In the
preacher having to move to a new
field because he warned some OF the
indulgent mothers Of discharge that
II they didn't quit being so indulgent
they were going TO be grand" d.
rectly. OF course II made 'em mad.
The preacher lost his job and the
prophecy proved true with three OF
them.
We could cite more instances OF
the same nature, but what's the use?
Preachers who get trouble for
their pains and who witness the un-7
appreciativeness Of their Pensioners
will 60 slow next time and save
trouble.
Evidently the people have taken
the bit In their teeth and are be-
coming mule-headed.-S. s. Dunlap.

Unless there Is scarcity of market

Quality Sometimes Affects Grading.
Investigations by specialists In the

hay to become too ripe or stained, or
otherwise damaged, growers or ship

technical requirements Of that grade
or not; the lower grades are graded
accordingly. This tendency toward

there is brisk demand.
Indeed, there are so many factors
which enter into the marketing Of of

producers or shippers of such hay ever
to obtain entirely satisfactory results,
