Field and garden crops in many sections were fuined, light buildings were blown down, window panes broken and roofs damaged. The hail battlered holes in the roof of the Hibert Furniture factory's sample room at Lenoir and rain accompanying the storm flooded the room. Officials estimated the damage at from $3,000 to $5,000. More than 1,000 window panes in 1 the Whitnell Textile mill, one mile south of Lenoir, were broken. I The Broyhill chair factory at LeI noir also was damaged.

L. (Young) Stribling, Georgia's great sun-burned hope, is marching as to war. 'He and his family have gone to a spot outside Cleveland to lay in waiting for Max Schmeling, the be-white-spatted German boy who will in all probability go marching through Georgia ubouft the third round. No fighter ever went to war like Stribling. A motorcade set out from Atlanta Tuesday like motorcades never set out from Atlanta, or anywhere else, before. In a big sedan out front rode "Pa" Stribling, whose interest in the younger is the interest of a fretted mother of a debutante who has bebn waltced arotond too many times by Willie; Mrs. .Stribling and two negro cooks. They import their own cooks in fear the bread-winner might get off his feed. In the next car came the warrior, his wife and two children. There are no sidelights to this. Next, an a snorky open jab, came Jack Bell, ballyhooist for Madison Siquare Garden; Roger Stribling, a cousin; and in the grumble s^at sat Battling (?) Mims, a big black braiwny boy from down Macon way who is the favorite sparring partner, probably because he falls so nice and often.

W. Hamilton, extension agronomist. Oats. seems to be the winter crop most severely damaged. In some instances ell the oats have been killed. The injury varies from total loss tc slight damage, seemingly varying with soil type and amount of calcium arsenate applied over a period of years. Idght sandy land is most se* verely affected. Of the summer crops eowpeas show damage quickest, seedling cotton is badly damaged, while corn and tobacco seem to resist the arsenic poison better, though probubly the yield of these two crops is lessened on soil that contains much arsenic. , The South Carolina Experiment Station, whiich is doing much detail research on this problem? endeavoring to find a remedy for damaged soil, makes the following report. "Field observations, greenhouse and laboratory tests definitely indicate that there is a relationship between unproductivity of certain soil types and the accumulation of soluble arsenic. Observations suggest that Coastal Plains soils, which ore relatively low in iron and other materials that would be expected to render arsenic insoluble, are most affected by the addition of arsenic." -So far no effective and practical remedy has been found for soil damaged by arsenic. In some cases applications of lime materials help but not in all cases. In light of the present information, Mr. Hamilton says that it is best not to apply calcium arsenate in heavy amounts and that early poisoning of the weevil should be done with the 1-1-1 molasses mixture as only a very small amount of arsenic per acre is applied by this method. If dusting is necessary later keep the . ftmoqnt pf, dust per application down to around three pounds per acre if possible. Homicide at Hartsville Darlington, May 25.??J.
