bolls, said Prof. A. F. Conradi, Pnt<>
UioloKlst, (his morning after the
weekly conference in Director Txmg's
ofoil the boll weevil situation.
Other facts and bUgiceKtion* tfevtUo<ped
at the conference are given below.
The weather conditions art* variable
throughout the state, ranging from
extreme wet weather in some localities
to extreme drought in others. In nmny
fields throughout the,central and south
ern parts of (he state there la little
fruiting at this time, because of ex
oesslve natural shedding combined
with weevil punctures. In dry areas
in the Piedmont section natural shed
ding is very heavy, although weevil
infestation is comparatively light. But
the falling off of fruit is generally at
tributed by farmers to the boll weevil.
?The general?wi'iullM conditions at
this time resemble those of last year,
although (he same extremes do not exr
1st in the same localities In every ease.
The weather damage at this time
should not be overlooked by farmers,
and every effort should be made to
get most careful and impartial esti
mates of the bereentago Of their crop
loss due to weevil and the percentage
due (o natural shedding. It must be
remembered that owing to heaevy con
tinuous rainfall in certain sections of
the state, there \y?nld likely haw been
a crop failure regardless of tlw) boll
weevil. This is important for people
to Consider so that they may not get
the idea that cot toil can no longer
be grown successfully. There were cot
ton crop failures on account of weather
long before the boll weevil conic.
Romance of Youth Revived.
Media, I*a., Aug. 17.?A romance of
school days was revived here today
when Mrs. Panthea H. Hilton, sixty
nine years old, of Media, was married
to Rev. James W. Walling of Columbia,
S. O. The latter is a retired Methodist
minister, seventy years old. The mar
riage was performed at the home of
the bride's son, TIarry Hilton, by the
Rev. Robert W. Mellwain., formerly
pastor of the Media Methodist Episco
pal Church.
Dr. Walling and his bride were
childhood friends, each married anil
had families and ultimately were be
reaved. Renewing their friendship, Dr.
Walling visited Media and claimed as
his bride his sweetheart of more than
fifty years ago.

Tbe Smallest Store In (he World.
(From the Tampa Dally TIqim,)
/The smallest store in the world is
closed for alterations tiooiuie Its
? proprietor lias gained five pounds in
weight, which makes It virtually im
possible for him to tnm around with
out exhaling his breath.
Tills smallest store I* Milton Ia?

Milt says the only place lie ean hang

"J have to be In constant training

Milt. "It Is very uncomfortable after
a full meal. I take constant exercise
ami diet carefully."
lately,, however, Milt's weight has
soared nearly to 100 pounds. Car

Milt has an assistant. But they
have to work In relays, for If the
two of them are on the J<>b at the

tried to enter, then decided to do bus

?Plattsbunth Marching Song.
Stringing out from the suburban
transit terminals of New York every
Sunday and holiday noes the army of
khakl-clad hikers. There may be an
automobile for every twenty of the
country's population, but a host of
city folks disprove the theory of a
future leg-enfeebled citirenry and ara
learning to walk all over again.
To the more casual minded, the hike
Is just exercise, but to those wha
catch Its real significance the hike
means a great deal m?re. It Is the
cheapest form of recreation and
therefore appeals to those living tn
crowded districts and unable to avail
themselves of the more expensive
amusements. And these people, be
it noted, ara Just those the country
is so anxious to have spread out and
settled in the farming sections. The
hike, indeed, has possibilities as a
real starter for the "back to the farm'*
movement.
Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way
Just a brief survey of the rollicking
groups which move off from the out
lying terminals on holidays estab
lishes a few general types. There is
the ex-service man and his friends
who will hear from him the story
of more serious excursions on the
muddy roads of France. He tight
ens a strap here and another there
on the blanket roll adjustment or the
"shelter half," In which the commis
sary is packed for the mid day feast
by the roadside. fcxpert directions
come from him on the method of
flinging the pack so it will not feel
so heavy or Interfere with the free
body movement. He will pass along
the Information gained In his army
days, of how that same pack was
evolved after numerous experiments
to find the easiest way of carrying
the heaviest load. With results ha
now compliments, but which he char
acterized when a doughboy as a
"blankety-blank total failure."
T Then there are the boy Bcout par
ties, adept at everything pertaining
to "shanks mare" traveling and wood
craft. The ex-service man and the
boy scout are pioneers In the hiking
game. IJsten to one of them right
off the train and making ready for a
twelve mllo Jaunt: "Get that can
teen over to the side, Jlmmle, and
it won't keep bouncing off your leg
every step. Is It filled? Well, then,
we drink. How about the eats? I^et's
check *em off. You got the spuds.
Bill; the bacon Jlmmie. Who has the
coffee and the Borden tin cow?"
"Right here," announces a freckled
comrade of the road, patting his knap
sack. "Snitched the mocha and the
can of milk when Sis wasn't looking."
"Well, then, let's go!" snap?*1 the
commander of the expedition.
This party is traveling light for real
distance. Another must expect to
make a shorter hitch or else be count
ing greatly on lta power of endur
ance. Perhaps the camp Is not far
off because the group Is equipped for
an over-night stay with heavy blanket
rolls, hatches, lanterns, canvas wa
terpalls, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots,
new fangled firestand, etc., etc. The
blankets are laid out for a better
packing of the bags and cans of food.
When the party commences to load
up the members bristle all over with
camp tools and equipment.
Back to the Farm
The veteran from the crowded city
tenement has found a new territory
to roam and one almost unknown to
his associate*. He Is Introducing them
to this newly discovered land and
teaching them tyw to be Independent
of any transportation but their own
good legs and of any subsistence but
what they can curry and prepare.
"Walk, and cook your own," fs his
motto.
Wno will Ray the leaven thus fer
menting in the city crowds will not
bear fruit In a keener appreciation of
country delights, especially as these
are added to by Increased comforts
on the farm. Wl.t.h his radio hitched
up, the farmer listens In on the best
entertainment the country has to
offer. Modern home devices wipe our
many hardships formerly Imposed
upon Isolated dwellers. There is, In
ahort, a rapid cutting down of the
differential between farm and city
life.
In the meantime, knowledge rnnst
precede a trne appreciation of what
the country holds, and this is what
the hike aupplles. There is more ap
peal In one a?rple tree In blossom than
In reams of printed mattejr put out to
Induce the citizen of the city to
change hln abode to the country. The
hikers constitute a crowing nrmy,
equipped with bacon, ppuds, coffee
and tin cow for merely a day's outing
but nevertheless seeing fright* that
make them yearn to be among them
all the time. It Is not too roach te
assume that the army may one day
recruit the open placea.
