Baptist General Assembly In Greenville, July 23-29 Those responsible for the ar rangements for the South Carolina Baptist General Assembly, which meets at Greenville, July 23-29 this year, are expecting a larger number in attendance than in any recent year, according to Mr. J. L. Corzine, director. Extensive repairs and al terations have been made in the buildings of Greenville Woman’s College, where all assembly guests, except Baptist Training Union members, will be enrolled and pro vided with rooms. A vast array of talent from the other states of the Southern Bap tist Convention, as well as from this state, has been assembled and tops a 22-year record of engineering progress that makes Chevrolet the best the 3ow-price field DEALER ADVERTISEVO.rr car in / l Year after year, it’s been the same story: Chevrolet with the NEWEST and BEST! ■ Chevrolet leading—others following. Chev- roLl out in front with the latest proved ad- tancements. Self-starter! Sliding gear tru us mission! Streamlined design! It was Chevrolet aggressiveness and progress siveness that forced all low-priced cars eventually to adopt these and other major improvements. And now, this year, comes the climax of Chevrolet’s engineering k-pdership: the Knee-Action ride! This newest of motoring sensations is a marvel of smooth, easy, gentle motion. No other ride in the world can even compare with it. It makes Chevrolet far and away the best riding car in the low-price field. Have you noticed how America has taken to the Knee-Action ride?

Many women, who have specialized in various phases of religious educa tion, will be heard. In all there are more than three score persons who will have part in this program which is made up of nine units cov ering all phases of denominational work. In speaking of the program Dr. D. M. Griffin, associate direc tor, says, “It is the most diversified program of our denominational year.” The rates for room and board during the period have been kept as near as possible to those of last year, which were the lowest in the : history of the assembly. This low rate has been retained to enable | the largest possible number of peo ple to attend. To the usual program features of other years there have been added two new units this year, a state B. T. U. encampment, and a school of church and church school music. The latter will be open to minis ters, choir leaders, choristers and singers from all churches and church organizations. It is thought by management that these new features will bring many hew peo ple to the meeting and will great ly strengthen the phases of work for which they are planned in churches throughout the state. The units included in the asr sembly and the dates for each will be as follows: State Sunday School Convention, July 23, 24, 25 and 26. State B. T. U. Convention, July 26, 27, 28 and 29. State B. T.

Weevils Less Active Clemsan College, July 9.—Bol’ weevil infestation has not increas ed during the past week in most of the counties, and in many of the counties there were sharp set backs, according to reports of coun ty farm agents. Nevertheless, re ports from many of the Coastal*'ta figures were based on an esti- Plains counties indicate that infes tations on individual farms exceed 10 per cent. Reports from the Piedmont indicate as many as 275 adult weevils to the acre with as many as 31 per cent of the squares punctured. The reports show that the Pee Dee.section is receiving the smallest amount of injury of any portion of the state. Farmers throughout the state are advised by W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, to give their fields individual attention, and to dust when the percentage of the squares infested exceeds 10 per cent. He advises that in the Piedmqnt sec tion of the state much of the cot ton has not become too large for successful applications of the sweetened poison. Since the light er soils in the state are subject to arsenical injury, the entomologist repeats the caution that the mini mum amount of dust (four to six pounds per acre per application) be not exceeded.
