BLUE MOLD THREAT
NOT ALARMING YET
But Weather of Week Has
Been Favorable to 1t in
This Section

Further evidences of blue mold in
various parts of Vance county and
this section of the Middle Belt were
reported today on the heels of week
of COOL rainy weather. The reports
came as the month of May began and
the time for tranSplanting to growing
fields drew nearer But the situation
has not developed so far to the point
where there is any cause for serious
alarm, according to growers.
If weather conditions are favorable,
and plants in seedbeds are large
enough, transplanting will get under
way toward the end of this month, al
though there will be much setting in
early June.
Last weekend saw a steady down
pour of rain, and nearly every day
since then has brought a season of
cloudy or misty weather Tempera-
lures have been cool generally all
week. Growers say this condition is
conducive to blue mold. Farmers are
talking of a possible shortage of
plants, but SO far there is no indica-
ton Of fear being realized.
At the States tobacco experiment
rector, sent out the advice to growers
through all this section mot to get
panicky." He said there was some
blue mold in the region, but not near
ly so much as in eastern and south
eastern North Carolina in the New
Bright Belt and the South Carolina
order territory, where growers really
are facing shortage of plants.
Moss warned against spending
money on quack remedies to fight the
plant diseases. Frequently, he said
this does more harm than good. He
advised that the most practical
remedy that is known at the present
time is to speed plants to maturity
with nitrate of soda.
Mr.. Moss experiment station has
met with good results in the use of
sprays in control of blue mold, but
experiments have not been completed
and the station is not yet ready to
make recommendations for the use of
spray in combating the disease.

MYSTERIOUS STAINS
FOUND ON CROSSING
Chief of Police Langston
Investigating Marks at
Andrews Avenue

Chief of Police j. H. Langston today
was investigating what he thought
were human blood stains and brains
at Andrews avenue crossing of the
Seaboard Air Line railway tracks.
Chief Langston said he observed the
blood stains this morning shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock, and that he had ques-
toned number of people in the vi
entity to ascertain whether or not
they saw any accident there. No one
could shed any light on the cause of
the stains.
Sergeant Jack Parks, also member
of the city force, observed the stains
and concurred with Chief Langston's
opinion that they were of some hui
man.
w. r. Vaughan, freight agent of the
road here, said he had not been mott
fled of an accident at the crossing by
trainmen.

 They found just a few more small rocks with fiecks of gold showing in them. If there was a vein of 1t, 1t didn't show. In fact the gold rocks seemed like surface deposits, and the Colter con- cluded they must have been left there by human hands.
 Nevertheless old man Golfer was taking no chances. By star light he and Silas erected the necessary rock monuments, estab- fishing legal claim for mining on the land which included the cave.
 Toward dawn they lay down for a few hours of rest. But Carolee kept on thinking. She was wish Ing she could signal Stuart Blake, ride down her trail and tell him the exciting news.
