The expense'! for the month are: Board for session I $12.50 Books $1.50 to $11.00 Laundry $2.00 Railroad fare ? The work of reaching the pupils who need Lh : s training is a matter of j ersonal interest and encouragement as well as fnan'ia) assistance on the part of those sponsoring the cause. Experience has shown that the large majority of pupils enrolled have been reached through the sympathetic co operation"'of some acquaintance or employer. Organizations, public spirited citizens and interested em ployers have aided hundreds to at tend the schools on scholarships. In addition to the monetary assistance they have found time to tell the mes sage to those who need it, have as sisted in making arrangements .for the family left behind and in some 'cases bave brought the pupils to the schools realizing that going “to col lege” as a beginner at the age of fifty was no easy task. Prominent mill superintendents came with their em ployees, some already selected for promotion; a generous editor brought 26 10 35 78 $4,739 ■' Blow- Out-- But do not worry for we can fix it in record time and the place we repair will be stronger than the original casing.

Never was there a more grateful or appreciative student body. Dr. R. C. Grier, president of Erskine, says: “Seriousness of purpose, diligence in effort, correctness of conduct ^have characterized the work. The result has been a changed butlook on life, brightening features and broadening visions.” Mr. B. E. Geer, President of Judson Mill, says: “The pupils who attend these sehool* come back not only better workers but better citi zens as well.” A pupil writes; “I have worked haid all winter and have saved fifty cents each wfcek and am going to pay my own expenses this year.” A pupil who has moved to North Carolina during the ytar in registering for her room says: “A friend here that I met while at my work is wild to come with me. Wifi it be alflright to bring her?” The past month has Registered thousands- 1 of teachers and church workers as summer school students. The Opportunity Schools offer to another group no less worthy or am bitious summer training. Th? thou sands who need such training also need the encouragement of a literate friend and this comes as an appeal to every public spirited citizen to lend such encouragement. — 1 ■ f T- The largest sales of 6-cylinder cars simply * reflects the general recognition of greatest car value.

If on that Timely Farm Hints from County Agent * Where poisoning.of the boll weevil has been done up to the , present time, care should be taken to carry on the, fight where needed.^ In manyj oases the weevil infestation will run' -up again and one or two more ap plications of calcium arsenate may be necessary. Especially is this true where the cotton is in the younger class, and too cultivation should be continued. In ‘the care of the Home Orchard, those who have not mounded their peach trees should do so at once. This is done to control the boarers. The mound is made around the base of the tree about ten inches high and resembles a small potato stack. By doing this immediately the-' eggs will be laid near the surface at the top of the mound then when the mound is pulled down the fii'st of No vember the young ones can be easily- gotten to, or killed by the winter weather. In many cases farmers who planted a good acreage of com are going to find that the dry weather that has prevailed has damaged the cRop con siderably and as a result many will be short on com: In order to care for this shortage, all farmers who may be in this condition will make arrangements to plant more fall oats than usual. If good crops are to be made of oats they should be plant ed go well prepared land in October. Take care of the garden where it has’ not given out and if so make other plantings of beans, fall pota toes,, tomatoes, turnips, etc.—H. G. Boylston, County Agent. . \ Millettville Items.
