Mold Found
In East, But
Not General

College Station, Raleigh, March
break of blue mold in Eastern
North Carolina; the dread disease
of tobacco plants did not appear
this year any earlier than usual;
and there is a good preventative and
cure for blue mold, as well as a
treatment which will reduce injury.
That is the report of DR.. Luther
Shaw, plant pathologist of the State
College Extension Service, on the
current blue mold situation which
has alarmed many tobacco growers.
"Mold is scattered all over East
ern North Carolina, from Raleigh
cast, but in a limited number of
beds. It is now general only in
Columbus and Robson counties,
where some plants have been killed,
but in most cases the disease is ap-
pearing in beds which were planted
on sites where mold occurred in
previous years." DR.. Shaw said.
In many cases farmers are con-
fllsing frost damage with blue mold
the plant pathologist asserted AL
though the disease appeared at about
a normal date, the tobacco plants
generally are smaller than usual due
to wet weather and teaching of ferti
llzer, and therefore the damage is
greater. However, the clear, dry
weather of the past two weeks has
been unfavorable for rapid spread
of blue mold.
DR.. Shaw advised all tobacco farm
ers east of Raleigh to spray their
beds with a solution of red copper
oxide and emulsified cottonseed oil.
which he said is the only spray to

Legislative
Council Idea
Sidetracked
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, March 28-During the
first week or two of the 1889 legis-
lature several members had their
attention attracted to an article in
national. magazine about the '1egis-
lative council idea, which had re-
putedly worked with most satisfac-
tory results in Kansas.
The article explained that this
council passed upon every bill before
it was submitted, as a sort of super
not only in its text but as to it's prob
able effect upon the state. The coun-
Gil had been instrumental in pre-
venting some very foolish legislation
North Carolina legislators were in
terested. Among those interested
enough to write for further infor-
nation was Representative John @.
LeGrand, of New Hanover, Mr.. Lee
Grand not only wrote to Kansas but
to some other states having adapta-
tons of the same idea. He received
copies of the Kansas law, passed in
1888, and setting up the legislative
council. In Kansas the group is COM
posed of fifteen representative and
ten senators. 1t his power to sub
poena witnesses and records, and ap-
olies as nearly as possible a scientific
test to every proposed statute One
instance cited was of the case where
a legislator wanted to increase the
lax on certain commodity to yield
more revenue. The council proved
by investigation that other states had
found increased tax rate on that item
meant decreased tax revenue.
The plan has so many of the same
features of the North Carolina bud
get commission, that some revision
Of the budget commission act rather
than a new council set-up, would
give this State all of the advantages
Of the Kansas law, with the addi-
tional advantages of budget control
of expenditures after appropriations
are made. So Mr.. LeGrand decided to
do nothing about it this session, but
to suggest an act for next time.

THE SECRET FUN.

Before l saw the fall
I smelled it in the air,
But that was many days
Before the ground lay bare.
The root had told the stalk,
And the stalk had told the leaf.
That when the days grow fair,
Then the days grow brief.
The root had warned the branch,
And the branch had warned tie
flower,
To treasure as the last
Each perfected hour.
The nuts lay stepped in dew,
The gilly -floWerS were cold,
The view along the hill
Vigorous with gold.
Be still, my heart, be still
The sun so cold, so round,
Fleeing from cold heaven
Labours underground.

Ayc0ck Faculty Hosts
At Bird Club Meetiug

The Bird club meeting at Avcock
school Monday evening, as the guests
OF its principal, Prof. w. C. Poe, and
his faculty, was one of the most in
tereSting ever held.
Preceding short business meet
ing and the round table discussion
of the birds of Vance county, espe-
cially game and water birds, the
older pupils of the school under the
able direction of Miss Irma Regain
put on an exhibit that was, in the
words of one of the visitors, "amaz-
ingly good''. Trees, stumps, and
leaves converted the stage into a
feeding station, and hand carved and
painted birds, the work of the pupils
was shown. A remarkably good COL
lection. of last years bird nests, red
wing, blackbirds, phoebes, and 9TH
ers, and dozen or more well made
posters completed the most artistic
exhibit the Henderson Bird club had
ever seen.
The program consisted of a num-
Der of descriptions of Aycock birds
and their habits, given without notes
by several of the young men and wo-
men Of the upper grades. A group
of about 6 young men of the school
gave the calls of IL or Is birds. These
calls were we'll done and showed
first hand knowledge of birds.
Among several other interesting talks
the comments on the special features
of the exhibit by one of the boys was
excellently done. The interest in its
wild life, initiative, willingness to
work in order to carry an undertake
ing to completion, and much artistic
talent on the part of Miss Regain and
her pupils greatly impressed the
visitors.

Both house and senate are
poised to defeat the two major
Roosevelt measures still on the
congressional Observation-Disclosures
ity and the $3.50, 900, 900 SPEND
lend program. His leaders have
warned him that he stands TO
lose on both points if he de-
mands a showdown. They have
suggested that he let it be known
quietly that he favors an imme-
date adjournment, thus sparing
himself double reputation.
So far the president has re-
fused to accept his advisers
warning. He is insisting that
congress vote on the two pro-
posals, even though the result
may be personal defeat for
him. He plans to take the issue
to the country in his August or
September trip 10 the coast. He
thinks the people are with him
and against the congress.
President Roosevelt's road ex-
perts don't share his belief that
toll bridges and highways will
pay their way or their share of

lay. 1t appears that there was
a lack of teamwork in framing
the self-liquidating program.
A major item in FDR's scheme
for reviving the heavy industries
is roads and bridges which will
sustain and amortize themselves
through tolls. But few years
ago his highway sharps prepared
a super highway program for
him which was the result of a
three-year study costing several
million dollars. The idea was TO
discover some field in which bill
lions could be expended in an
effort to stimulate employment
in the capital industries.
II was most excellent and
detailed study. But the highway
highlight was that toll bridges
and roads do NOT pay - that
they represent gift TO the
motorist on which neither the
states nor the federal govern
ment win ever reeoup.

cratic national committee must

Doesn't it seem strange that
