Halifax Bankers Draw Up
Resolutions

At the meeting which was held
here October 11th, the Halifax
County Bankers Association ap-
pointed Messrs. J. H. Alexander,
Jr., R. S. Travis, Jr., G. Hoff
man, Norfleet S. Smith, and :.
E. Littlejohn a committee to draw
up resolution expressing the
views of the Association relative
to the situation brought about by
the advent of the boil weevil into
this section, und that committee
has prepared and had printed the
following;
Whereas the boil weevil is
now a reality in Halifax County,
the following resolutions are sub
mitted as mutually beneficial to
both farmer and banker.
l. A self sustaining farm
will be the best insurance against
this pest and to that end it is re-
commended that a county wide
campaign for the sowing of fall
oats and vetch be started at once
This campaign should insure
sufficiency of hay to make the
coming crop. This committee
thinks the above resolution most
important.
2. This committee wants it
clearly understood that the meet
ings that have been held by the
bankers of this county have rot
been held to devise methods Of
restricting credit, as a rumor
over the county credits it with
doing, but these meetings have
been held to devise the be- t
farming program for boil weevil
conditions. There will be no re
strictions of credit to the farmer
who is trying to help himself by
following sensible program; on
the other hand the resources of
all the banks of the county will
be at his command.
g. Farm products are bring
ing good prices this fall and it
now appears that everybody will
have some money over and above
their running expenses. Lets not
forget 1919 and 1920, and in
times of plenty, prepare for the
lean year. That is the only way
to get ahead of the game. Put
that surplus in the bank and save
it. The banks Of the county
should be the guardians of your
surplus"
Copies of the above resolutions
have been printed and will be
mailed out by the various banks
of the county. Scotland Neck

County Ministers Meet

On Monday October Is, a num-
Der of the ministers of Halifax
county met in the town of Hall
fax and effected an organization
of the ministers of the county.
1t is the purpose of this organi-
zation that there shall be a
greater cooperation among the
ministers of the county in attend
ing to the interests of the King
dom of God, at the initial meet
ing, it was planned to render eff
fective service at the road camps,
at camp number 2 on the State
Farm and cooperate further
with those who have already
started services at Camp num-
ber one. Services for the Coun-
ty Jail and the County Home
were discussed, and arrange
ments were made for services to
be held in the County Home. 1t
was aluso the desire of this or
ganization to be of better ser
vice to the schools of the county,
and to this end cooperation
with the officials and teachers is
being sought.
Another feature of interest is
that some member of the Asso-
citation will present a paper at
each meeting, this to deal with
some live topic of mutual inter-
est.
By no means the least will be
the social side of the meeting.
The organization is composed of
members of every denomination
in the county. This gathering
of all the ministers once month
Will not only make each member
know each other but will help
in giving a greater unity in the
work of the Master of men.
Rev. Reuben Meredith, actor
OF the Episcopal Church in Scot
land Neck, was elected rresi-
dent, Rev. N. G. Bethea, pastor
of several Methodist Protestant
Churches, of Brinkleyville, vice
president, and Rev. E. B. Hill

tary.
The meetings will be held at

second Sundays at 1890 A. NJ.

BUG AGAINST BUG

The idea of setting bug
against bug" is fascinating to
the mind, and there is always
much disc~ssion of this when a
pest appears. Many farmers
ha' q suggested this idea to Prof.
Franklin Sherman of the State
College and Depastment of Agri-
culture as a boil weevil control
measure.
This matter is sudden by the
entomologists with reference to
every important pest, and we
soon come to know what the
chief factors Of natural control
are says MIR. Sherman, and
with many insects, including boil
Weevil, the extremes of weather
are more important than any
other. But there are also many
insects which do prey upon and
kill insect pests, either by out
right physical assault battery
or by the more intricate and in
sldious methoe of internal parasi-
tism. The study of these natural
enemies Of insect pests are con-
stantIy at work and render far
greater restraining influence that
the public is aware of yet the
public, unaware Of even this, is
always hoping for a sudden and
complete determination of the
pest by its enemies. Nature
gives US no reason to expect this.
Nature does not consciously
strive to eXterminate her chill
dren, rather she unconsciously
tries to preserve what is some
times called a balance among
them.
In 1919 our soy bean fields
We're stripped by a large genera
ton of Green Clover worms, but
when eggs were laid for the
next generation nearly half of
the eggs were killed by para
site so small that none but a
technical worker with microscope
would nave ascertained the rea-
son. We still have the worms
every year, just as we have them
every year before, but its
natural enemies are holeing it in
subsection.
I'm several years we have had
outbreaks of the true Army-worn
and on every such occasion it's
parasites kill the worms by thou
sands and the outbreak soon
subsidies. The Fall Army-worm
is not so much attacked by para
sites from it. During 1922 we
reared two distinct parasites of
the boil weevil, and found 13 per-
cent of them being killed by
parasites in one field. During
1928 our workers have reared
the same species again and also
a third.
I'VE have some reservation
against saying very much about
such findings, for the eager pub
lie is apt to jump to too great ex,
pectations and regard them as
epoch making discoveries, =
which they are not, they are all
part of the days work, just a
cog in general machinery of Ma
tura. But it is well that the pub
lie should know that these natur-
al enemies of our insect pests do
exist, that they are at work, and
that the entomologist are aware
of their presence and benefits
The possibility of increasing
the parasites by artificial means
and liberatlng them, instantly
comes to mind. That is always
considered, of course : but that
is more difficult and complex
matter than the public appreci-
ates, with much chance that its
results would be vague, indefi-
mite, tardy, and expensive.
