Have a lot here in our
community who don't attend
church.
On September 5-6 the youth
will have a spiritual retreat at
Camp Dixie. The pastor needs

Sunday of all whom plan to
attend. The cost is $12.00 per
person.
Mr. Herbert Locklear was
presented on Sunday an ap
preciation award from the
youth department in honor of
his 35 years as their leader. I
would say he has been one of
the outstanding men of our
church with his life being a
living example to many. When
you don't see him in church,
you know he doe^Heel up to
it.
I was a dinner guest in the

ten your day.

He has truly shown us that
Romans 8:28 is for today;
"And we know that all things
work together for good to them
that love God." Life is very
short and very uncertain. Let
us spend it as well as we can.

During the course of i
lifetime nearly every individu
al has an opportunity, in some
degree or another, to have
some influence on the com
munity in which they live.
Many persons who are in the
public eve receive recognition
for their efforts, while others
who live and work in small
communities in any place do
not have the opportunity to
gain the notoriety that other
individuals may gain. Yet
those individuals from small
individualized communities
may in some way have made a
significant impact on the lives
of many, many people within
an entire area.
Last week, acquaintances,
friends and relatives mourned
the loss of Mitchell Humph
rey. Mitchell was from Route
1, Shannon, termed in the
Saddletree area, and reared an
extremely fine family. During
his years as a farmer, he
became well known and re
spected by many individuals
from this entire area. Mitchell
Humphrey was an individual
who many years ago had the
foresight to recognize that
argiculture would change
dramatically during his life
time. As a result of this
foresight, he was one of the
few individuals who recogniz
ed early the value of hybird
seed corn and the effects that
it could have on corn yields.
As a result of this recognition,
he became a real promoter of
corn production in this area
and especially improved com
production practices.
As the long-time represen
tatives of Pioneer Seed Com
pany for this area, he was one
of the leaders in helping to
introduce Pioneer's standard
bearer, the old 309 B, which
has made so much difference
to fanners in this entire area.
Then the 3369 A came along
which Mithcell also promoted.
As a result of his leadership in
helping to tell the story of
improved com production,
Robeson County today is far
and away the leader in com
production in North Carolina.
Many years ago when Bill
WIMford arrived4 In RObeson
aa??oooeooo????-<
County. Mitchell Humphrey
?u on the scene to provide
any Assistance which he could
' possible provide to BUI in
organizing Crop Promotion
Association and participating
, in any corn yield contests
which Bill initiated. The Hum
phrey home today has many
trophies which emphasize his
commitment to producing the
top yielding corn in Robeson
County.
In another area of agricul
ture. Mitchell Humphrey was
also a pioneer. During the
many years which I worked as
livestock agent, the name
which old-timers throughout
North Carolina equated to
Robeson County and quality
hog production was that of
Mitchell Humphrey.
Back during the mid-SO's,
Mitchell recognized that in
addition to improved corn
production, that improved hog
production was a necessity for
success in the future. As a
result of this recognition, he
was long recognized as one of
the leaders in the quality
improvement of pork produc
tion during the 1950s and 60s.
I well recall that during my
first hog show in 1969, that
Mitchell's young boys were
participants. And, as a result
of some suggestions he made
we were able to continue the
development of our livestock
shows and subsequently de
velop our local Robeson Coun
ty Market Hog Show into one
of the foremost county hog
shows in the United States.
Mitchell was slo most suppor
tive of any educational activity
which would underscore im
proved pork production.
In addition to the corn and
hogs. I also recall only a few
years ago that he even went
down to Georgia and stocked
his pond, which he was so
proud of, with hybrid brim.
This was the first such intro
duction of these type fish into
farm ponds in Robeson Coun
ty
Therefore, while Mitchell
Humphrey received a few
trophies for his superior hog
productions and some addition
al trophies for his outstanding
corn yields. I believe that it is
only fitting that with his
passing that all of us who are
involved in the agricultural
industry in Robeson County
look back and salute an
individual who. through his
outstanding support, good na
ture. and giving personality,
provided so much impact to
the agricultural scene as it
exists today.
Mitchell Humphrey will be
missed!

Mr. Strickland continued.

our jaycee members, especial
ly the ones who have partici
