Floyd Urges
Men
To Approve
Meeting For Growers
Held at Court House;
1900 Eligible to Par
ticipate in Referen-
dunn Next Saturday in
County.

Plans for quotas for the 1910 cot
ton crop were explained to growers
in Vance county at a meeting at the
court house here Saturday afternoon
by E. Y. Floyd, State AAA executive
officer, who came from N. G. State
College, Raleigh. for the meeting.
Floyd urged all growers TO vote in
the referendum next Saturday, which
will be sOuthWide over the entire cot
ton belt to determine whether the
AAA will be asked to allot quotas
for the 1910 crop. The measure is eX-
pected to carry overwhelmingly.
j. w. Sanders, county AAA direc-
tor and county farm agent, said to-
day approximately 500 cotton grow
ers in Vance county are eligible to
vote in the referendum. Balloting
places will be set up in exactly the
same locations in all townships as for
the tobacco referendum in October,
with the exception that in Henderson
the boxes will be in the court house,
instead Of at tobacco warehouse,
and there will be no ballot boxes in
Watkins and Dabney townships, be-
cause Of the few farmers there who
grew cotton They will come to Hen
dersOn to vote.
The 1910 cotton acreage for Vance
county has already been announced
as 1851 acres, divided as ATOP
acres for Class A groupings, consist
ing Of the large farmers, and 1888
acres for the Class B, or small grow
ers. The 1910 allotment is about SO
acres less than 1888. This is due to
the fact, according to Mr.. Sanders,
that some planters did not grow cot
ton in 1899, and they and the county
are thus losing that much allotment
in their cotton history

involvement it is better to clip the
hair entirely. Treatment is designed
to dissolve the glue which holds the
nits to the hair and kill the lice and

Of kerosene and vinegar, keeping it

the bandage with a bathing cap.
Then comb out all the nits. This
must be repeated daily until the nits

him. Straighten the injured person
out on the floor and make as COM
Portable as possible. Cover with
blankets to avoid shock until the
doctor arrives.
Can Avoid Complications
Burms-Severe burns are caused
by burning garments. Serious COM
plications can be avoided by smoth-
ering the person in rug, rolling
on the floor, even when it is not evil
dent that the garments are still
burning.
Simple burns should be treated
with boric acid ointment or vase
line, or any oil that is handy and
reasonably sterile.
Poisoning cases-Call a doctor,
empty the stomach, dilute the poi
son. A good general antidote is soap
and water. This also is likely to
empty the stomach. The stomach
should be emptied two or three
times and then, if water can be
taken, it should be poured in to
dilute the poison.
