Cotton Weevil Field. Mr. James B. Allen, a farmer of Port Gibson, Miss., has been with the cultivation of cotton in the boll weevil belt. Through in- cultivation, fertilization and the use of powdered arsenate of lead, he claims to have put the weevil out of business. Mr. Allen furnishes The New Orleans Picayune with a detail- ed report of his experiment, which was made on land where previously the weevil had made all cotton unprofitable. The Picayune says that the cotton in which teen varieties entered into the was planted under ordinary conditions, in well cultivated and highly fertilized soil, and after the squares commenced to form the plants were treated with the powder- ed arsenate of lead, after as many of the as possible were pick- ed off by hand. The good results which these experiments show in pounds of lint and seed per acre and I the excellent money returns, hold out ; high hopes that if other farmers in the boll weevil districts adopt the same measures they will achieve success. It shows that some ad- has been made in the of growing cotton and wee- at the same Chronicle. Why Not Turn This Tide. During the year Just ended one hundred and fifty thousand people of the United Slates, many of whom are farmers and nearly all of whom come from hardy Teutonic stock, moved across the northwestern border and settled In Canada. They will become citizens of that country, developing its wilderness, enriching its and adding to its national strength. One hundred and fifty thousand producers of wealth have left us within a single twelve months. The number is considerably greater than it was in 1909 and , according to the forecast of the Canadian immigration department, it will be greater still at the end of 1911. Such a record is of vital concern to every quarter of the Union and particularly so to the South. For it is in this section that these thous- ands of land seekers should logically settle. It would be a conservative estimate to say that the emigration to Canada last year meant a loss of one hundred million dollars to our own country. A nation has no asset more valuable than the man who works. Labor is of itself a source of community wealth and social fare. Every farmer that moves from a country, not overcrowded, is a loss to that country. And he is likewise a gain to land whither he goes. Had the tide of emigration from the northwest been southward instead of toward Canada our whole union would be richer to- day and our own section would be incalculably so. The South neither desires nor needs that sort of immigration which flows in from the muck piles of the Old World, but she should welcome the men whose veins hold the blood of her own forbears and whose hon- est industry would add to the wealth of her The Immigration department of Canada is carrying on a vigorous systematic campaign to secure set- from our northwestern states. Herein lies a truly, golden suggestion for the Journal. Night Riders Again. y Wire to The Reflector. Mt. Sterling, Ky., Jan. partially wrecked the tobacco of A. R. early with dynamite.

According to the sayings of old fishermen, that a freshet in the river between new and old Christmas, foretells a good run of shad, that very desirable fish ought to be this spring.

TWAIN'S Home Enterprises. When you buy goods in some dis- city that could be had as well at home, you miss the chance to make a business ally in your own town who sooner or later may be very useful. If the mistress of a home on a swell street goes to the metropolis for her fine feathers, soon the wife of the clerk and the laborer will be sending their dollars to build up some congested center. In college a passion of loyalty creates enthusiasm for athletic leads to fervent backing of all com- enterprises and binds men to- in after life. Could we but get that feeling of loyalty to our home town, based on the personal advantages of reciprocity between individual citizens and on real affection for the institutions and enterprises of the place we call our city would advance with the vim of college life.

Masonry has had such growth in Greenville, the lodge here reaching a membership of and upwards, that it has been deemed advisable to institute another lodge of that order here. To this end a petition been prepared to forward to the grand lodge of the State for a charter for the new lodge, this petition being recommended by the present lodge. Those who will take their demit from the old lodge to institute the new one held a preliminary meeting, Monday afternoon, to recommend u name and the first officers of th new lodge to embody in the petition to the grand lodge for a charter. The name chosen was Sharon Lodge, and the officers recommended are as Henry Harding, worshipful master. F. D. Foxhall, senior warden. W. L. Brown, junior warden. R E. Griffin, secretary. J. N. Hail, treasurer. The reason that the name Sharon was selected for the new lodge is because there is some tradition about the name, it having been the name of the first lodge instituted in Pitt county under the jurisdiction of North Carolina. Old Sharon lodge, like some others existing in tho South at the time, went down during the civil war, and when Masonry was revived in Greenville after war, the lodge then took the name of Greenville Lodge, No. has since continued by that name. While old Sharon lodge was the first instituted in Pitt county under the grand jurisdiction of North Car- it is a matter of history that a lodge existed in county many years earlier, in fact prior to the evolutionary period. A lodge, said to be even the first that existed in North Carolina, was at Crown Point, county, which was instituted under the jurisdiction of setts, and while records of that lodge were lost during the revolutionary war, the present grand lodge of North Carolina has show- that Crown Point Lodge paid its dues to grand lodge of setts for the years Mrs. Manila, E.

No more important meeting has been held in the county in years than that which will assemble in Went- worth next Saturday to consider the question of improving our public roads. It is a problem lying at the foundation of social, educational, moral and material betterment. The roads are the avenues of neighborly intercourse, commerce, school attend- religious gatherings, etc. Rich and poor, white and black, are help- ed or hindered by them. The mud tax is a tax not only on our horses and wagons, but on our social well- being. There is only one way out of the difficulty and that is to good roads. They will cost us something; they Would not be worth having if they didn't cost something. But the benefits will far outweigh the bur- dens.

Teach our young people that there is something worth while on the farm Teach them how and where to lo- their home and how to take care of a home properly. Teach the boys how to take the hillsides fill up the gullies and render them fertile and productive once more. Teach them how to select and pare the soil for the various crops raised on the farms, how to select seeds, how and when to plant, how to cultivate, how to harvest and how to market the various farm Precisely in line with this excel- lent outline is the step which has just been taken by the Guilford commissioners in arranging for the installation of a superintendent of domestic science, a commissioner of agriculture and a superintendent of sanitation to devote their entire time to Guilford county. of- says a dispatch, teach their respective branches in the high schools during the session and in the summer will hold institutes in parts of the county not touched by the high schools.

If he pits down and waits for things to come his way, they do not bother about coming. The same it true of a town. If a town is composed of active, hustling citizens who are not afraid to invest their own money, it is likely to attract others to come in and invest with them.

These January evenings recall the pithy observation that by day the year, he is making his mark on the but that at night the Chronicle, a serious matter. It becomes a question as to whether tho resulting good the inevitable attendant evils. Bond issues always beget a spirit of extravagance, often breed graft and always entail a burden of taxation upon unborn generations. But often a bond issue is attended with more good than evil and in such cases it is wise to issue bonds. It is simply a question of wisdom for the people to It is possible that The Chronicle's apprehension of and graft may be somewhat too Intense It is certainly fair that be pledged in advance to bear their reasonable share of the burden of improvements which will be of permanence to be of lasting benefit. None the less, our line of reasoning is quite sound and contains a timely to advocates of bond issues for highway purposes. If bond issues are to be carried everywhere they are needed their advocates must get down down to hard-pan and show the voters just wherein consists the advisability pf the step. The brought with this end in view will naturally vary from county to county. An of this is to found in a communication to The Fayetteville Index, dealing at length with many phases of the good roads problem. The of The Index cites the fact that Cumberland county is paying approximately the sum of a year towards road building in the shape of convict support and equip- For this outlay it is something than fair and as regards some town- ships nothing at all.

The first reform in rent contracts that I would urge is the inclusion of a clause requiring the tenant to sow on every acre from which he harvests wheat or oats and to sow in all corn grown on upland, as well as in land corn in Lome localities. There would prob- ably be little difficulty in getting tenants to consent to this, pro- the seed were on hand at the time when planting should be done. As a. matter of fact, ten- ants have no seed at that time even if some has been gathered in the fall. Therefore, the most method of enforcing this de- change is for the landlord to agree to provide the seed, at the expense of the tenant. However, even if the landlord should have to furnish the free, he would gainer in the long run by son of the improved condition of his Any tenant complying fully with and with other stipulations in- to make his farming more should be offered for full compliance. The most jam one would be to stipulate that as long as such progressive methods practiced the tenant have over all other ten- ant to renew the lease from year to year. Indeed, if the character and financial backing of even the lest tenant should justify the land- lord in entering into a contract for years, a long lease would in the end far better for both parties of great advantage to the pub- P. in Raleigh Pro- and Gazette.

There is some people who are just literally kicking their way through life. They were born and have never stopped since. A little kicking now and then is relished by the fellow who wants something righted, or a wrong corrected. A good kicker, with his feet, however, is a valuable adjunct to a foot ball team. So there are kickers and kickers in this world. But the champion kicker has been discovered He was released from the Ohio penitentiary the other day after serving a of three for burglary and larceny, having been sent up from Cleveland. He kicked about everything and anything every time he got a chance to kick, and when released from the pen he kick- ed about the railway schedule be- cause a train didn't leave for an hour and he had to wait.

A Chicago mechanic named Cam- bell, backed and helped by Mr. Theo- Price, the well-known cotton merchant of New York, has invented a cotton picking machine known as cotton about which those interested are very enthusiastic. Long before the event this paper predicted the flying ma- shine. It has with equal predicted a cotton picker. Perhaps there are those who think the machine the more cresting of tho two but this is scarcely the case. The m may be more but ii. is a plaything and will remain so for a long time to come. In the cotton picker the welfare of the world in matters of clothing is involved. It costs now to pick the cotton The picking is all done by hand work. The picking must, be done in a limited time, approximately days in each year. The power used is power, somewhat as hand sewing is power. If man power or horse power or engine power could be plied to cotton picking as it has been to sewing, the would be as great. With a good, economic cotton picker and gasoline power to operate it the cost of picking the American crop of say bales should not exceed over the present cost of annually. There are difficulties in the way, of course, but the prize is too to call these difficulties in- surmountable. The owners of the machine claim that it will pick pounds of cotton in a day and that the cost of hand picking. We have not learned how much cotton is left behind in the field after the picker has done its work. The may be the beginning of the real cot- ton picker. Its ultimate form, by whomsoever invented, will be a de- as was the case with the locomotive, the and the sewing machine and other similar inventions. One word of criticism; would seem to be claim too much. Te new machine- according to the inventor's story is not only a cotton picker but a chopper and cultivator. A picker that will pick clean and economically is enough. There is a possible of a year when it is brought to do its work as well as the sewing machine does and that ought to satisfy. We are confident that the cotton come the beginning has already come. C. T. Mason of Sumter, S.

The plan was by the industrial department of the Carolina, and Ohio railway last August, and a tender of the methods it has employed was formally made to and accepted by a majority of progressive railroads of the South in a conference which closed here last night.
