Coolidge and Smith,
Says Senator Borah
Thinks Both Republican and Demo
cratic Parties Will Endorse
Prohibition

The eign eenth amendment and, its
enforcement will be endorsed next
year by. both big parties and their
standard bearers will be President
Coolidge and Governor Smith of New
York, is the opinion expressed by
United States Senator William E.
Borah in an address before the
Utica, N. Y, Republican club last
week.
"Pll ven, ure that the Republican
party in national convention declares
for the 18th amendment and its en-
forcement," the senator said. "I'll
venture that if Governor Smith is
nominated for president, he'll de-
clare for the 18Th amendment and
its enforcement, and not only that
but will make the people believe in it.
This is not speaking in disrespect
for Governor Smith, but in eulogy of
his great ability. From the time he
leaves Mania tan Island and crosses
over into the United States he'll be
for the 18th amendment and it's en-
forcement.
In an address at Syracuse uni
vcrsity, Senator Borah predicted
Coolidge and Smith would be op-
ponents.
''Do you think President Coolidge
will run again." the senator was
asked fom the audience.
II think he is entitled to the nomi-
nation and can have it if he wants
it," he replied. 'He would be a
strong candidate"
"What do you think of AL Smiths
chances for the Democratic nomina-
tion?"
"Your governor seems to be the
accepted candidate at the present
time. l feel quite sure he will re-
ceive the nomination, as he seems to
have everything hi sown way right
now"

CLEAN UP!IS NOW THE
SLOGAN IN BOONE

In another column will be
found a notice from the mayor
and board of aldermen of the
town of Boone setting next
week, beginning Monday, as
Cleanup Week. This is most
timely and important move on
the part of the municipal body,
and it is their purpose to enforce
the order.
When property owners are
obstinate and fail to comply
with the ordinance, it will be
done by the town at the ex-
pense of the owner. Last Sat
urday the paving and walks of
the town were thoroughly clean
ed and washed, which added very
much to the appearance of the
streets. But in every direction
are unsightly things. Vacant OTIS, &.
covered with scrap paper and al
most every other kind of debris.
In the rear of many of our busi-
ness houses refuse, which has
been accommodating for the past
year, is piled high.
This is not only main street
cleanup, but thorough one and
it is hoped that every citizen
of the town will cooperate fully
with the officers who have done,
and are still doing, all they can
to make Boone better town in
which to live. The public square
needs beautifying, and then
some stringent laws for its pro-
lection enacted. Flowers and
small shrubs planted along the
walks in the residence sections
would add much to the appear
ance of things. We have the
prettiest little city to be found,
and when the campaign is ended
let's see to it that we have the
cleanest one.

Ways To Poison
Mexican Beetle
Insect Caused Much Damage to
Bean Crop in Watauga Coun-
ty Last Year

The Mexican bean beetle caused
great damage in Watauga county last
season. This pest feeds on beans,
preferring the common garden beans
and lima bean mostly, but in many
instances it attacks cowpeas an or 4
bean crops.
Those who were in the infested
areas last year should make prepara-
tions for poisoning the bean beetle
this year.
The infested area last year includ-
ed all of the western part of the
state and spreads at the "ate of about
30 miles a year, and will destroy the
garden beans before their presence is
noticed
Spray or dust to control the bean
beetle using one of the following
formulas:
Magnesium arsenate used at the
rate of l pound to so gallons of
water makes an excellent spray. Mag
nesium arsenate used as dust should
be diluted with lime at the rate of
l to pounds of lime to each mag
nesium arsenate, depending on the
number of beetles present. Mag
nesium arsenate can be bought mix
ed ready to dust on the plants).
Calcium arsenate may be used.
For spray use 3-4 pound of calcium
arsenate with l 1-2 pounds hydrated
lime to SO gallons of water Cor 1
ounce of calcium arsenate and 2
ounces of hydrated lime to gallons
of water). When used as a dust,
not less than pounds of hydrated
lime should be used with l pound of
calcium arsenate. From 1 to 4 ap-
plications may be necessary accord
ing to the number of beetles present
Calcium fluosilicate should be
used only as a dust in the following
roportions:
Calcium fluosilicate, part.
Hydrated lime, parts.
In du~+ing or spraying care should
be observed n applying the posion to
the under surface of the leaves. Most
If the feeding is done on the under
| surface of the leaves.
An angle nozzle should be used
turned upws I'd in spraying and in
busting the nozzle of the duster
should be turned sideways.
Bean pants are very sensitive and
easily injured by sprays or dusts
Therefore, extreme care should he
exercised H. securing the proper
poison and in preparing the spray OF
dust.

Mr.. ROBBINS SUCCEEDS
IN NURSERY BUSINESS

Mr.. Ed. Robbins, of Pinola, owner
of the Kelsey nurseries, now the
Gardens of the Blue Ridge" was a
weekend visitor in the city. When
M. Robbins took charge of the busi-
ness years ago, his shrubbery was lit
tie in demand; but by constant ad-
vertising and sticking closely to his
business, it has grown enormously,
and today is one of the most success
full enterprises in the mountain sec
tion of North Carolina.
Mr.. Robbins is not much to blow
his business, far from it; but we
gathered few interesting facts from
him that we take the, privilege of
publishing. He said that in his nurs-
cries he now has more than a million,
four hundred thousand marketable
shrubs and plants, covering almost
every specie of plant and tree life to
be found in the mountains.
Last year." Mr.. Robbins said,
my operating expenses were $780,
600, my travelling expenses $4,000
and the federal government touched
me for $4,000 income tax" When
this outlay is considered, with a sub
stantial and increasing net profit for
the owner, one can have little idea
of what Ed Robbins and his business
means to the little county of Avery.
He recently purchased another farm
and is stocking it to supply, as far
as he can, the constantly growing de-
mand for ornamental shrubs, trees
and flowers. The nursery, f we are
not mistaken, was started by Mr..
Harland Kelsey, of Linville, in 1887,
but he made no very great success
of it.
