destructive Storm
In North Carolina
Hickory, N. C., May 2/3.?The dam-'
age wrought by ? hail and wind storm
which swept through Catawba and
Caldwell counties yesterday was estimated
today at thousands di dollars.
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.
I The wind apparently was most inI
tense near Newton. The home near
there of Obarles Simmons was unroofed.
Numerous light farm buildings
of the section' were blown down
and trees were uprooted.
Lesser damage front the storm was
reported from Cleveland and Mecklenburg
counties.
One cigarette maker now buys
South Carolina state tax stamps in
wholesale quantities and puts them on

!A Fighter |Goes Out To Fight
W. 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.
No man ever went to war like that
except Jonquil John in "The Big
Parade."?'Spartanburg Herald.
Fifty-four divorces were granted by
ihe court at Reno, Nev., Tuesday in a
court session of eight hours. |

Damage To Yields
By Calcium Arsenate
Clemson College, May ^.?Numerous
fields where calcium arsenate
dust has been/heavily applied for boM
weevil control are showing severe
damage to succeeding crops from arsenic
poisoning, according to K. 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.
