Tree Toppled By Storm
Hits Train; Roots Show
Something Like A Craze

TREE TOPPLER D. ... cmfw
A freakish incident of the tornado
hail storm that swept the Ridgeway
and Warrenton sections of Warren
county last Sunday afternoon, doing
thousands of dollars of damage, was
brought to light today.
A tree was blown down across one
of the Seaboard Air Line fast trains
at Ridgeway and in it's fall it's roots
were torn up, revealing what was ap-
parently the brick foundations of a
grave
The fast train, No. 3, had just left
NOrlina, two miles north of Ridgeway,
and was southwark bound toward
Henderson. The storm broke as the
train approached Ridgeway, pepper
ing the tops and sides of the cars and
the windows with huge hail stones.
G. d. Gilmore, former Henderson man,
was the conductor on the train. He
said he was in the Negro day coach
at the time and the occupants of the
car were virtually thrown into
panic. Then the tree fell across the
train as it was passing through the
village of Ridgeway. The huge mass
of timber tOppled across the tops of
the cars, scraping and dragging to
increase the fears of the occupants of
the train. Fortunately there was no
derailment, but the train came to
halt as quickly as possible. The tree
finally fell to the side of the tracks,
and without lodging in the opening
between the cars.
Estimates are that the tree must
have been 100 or 200 years old. 1t was
enormous in size. Speculation was
aroused whether or not the pulling up
of the roots and uncovering of the
brick work underneath did not bring
to light a grave where a body may
have been buried possibly a couple of
centuries ago. The tree was in the
yard of church that stands hard by
the railroad right of way. No inspec
ton has been made as to whether or
not the Telling of the tree did actually

CORN EAR-WORM is
DAMAGING TOMATOES

F.. College Station, Raleigh, June 30
The corn ear-worm also attacks to-
mato plants, and is sometimes REFER
red to as the tomato fruit-worm.
The insect can be easily controlled
by timely applications of corn meal
halt said c. H. Brannon, extension
cntomologist at State College.
Mix six heaping tablespoonful OF
arsenate of lead with a peck of corn
meal. Apply the bait to the grow
ing tips of the tomato plants before
the fruit is set.
Make a second application to the
tins and fruit clusters before they
separate, and a third application to
the leaves and fruit a week after the
second application, Brannon recon-
mended.
Applications are best when made
early in the morning. Repeat at once
after a rain. Do not apply the mix
ture to the fruit after it is half
grown.
