that some bitter challenges were
made by Wilson men in Pennington

The appearance Of the tuber moth

off right ut the time when the 20.
tntocs Of Eastern North Carolina
are going good on the markets. and
II vlrginia's; crop Is cut short this
year, then 1t may result In higher
prices for longer season on North

The tuber moth is also reported
In Maine md New Jersey, and even
In South Carolina. II might be well
for North Carolina growers to
watch for the same trouble.
Experts are now at work trying
out various spraying materials
which can be used ut the time the
fields ARE sprayed for the potato
beetle and In this way they expect
to eliminate largely the spreading
Of the disease.
No over production Of potatoes
Is expected In this section. The
several dealers report that there
has been no noticeable increase In
the Irish potato acreage this year.

years past, farmers and dealers
are loath to put money into tho

University Of North Carolina. Eliz.

by the Rotary Club, under whose
auspices tho Plnymakers appeared.

Only one play went over the
heads of u lot Of folks In the audi.
rncc: that was Ermn md Paul

tragedy of u tcnnnt farmers wife.
"Fixin's" dramatizcs the tragedy Of
the starved life Of thousands Of oh.

of North Cnrolina. And Frances
Gray. who plnycd the part Of the
farmers wife. played IL like an

only TO put into her work more Of
the intense effort that all grcnt ne
tors and actresses have put into
their work, to attain to any height
to which she may aspire. She IL
the stuff that stars Of the first
magnitude are made Of.
The play, "Fixin's" went over the
heads Of II lot of folks because there
arc still too many who do not know
or understand a character that has
heretofore been ignored by the
selfish mass of us all we'll as by
the tribe Of those who write md
