A little over two yean ago a
brand new graduate from
North Carolina State Univer
sity, Rosemary Tucker, came
to Robeson County to lead the
Extension Service's educa
tional efforts for the local
livestock industry. Rosemary
immediately woo the hearts of
most producers and agribusi
ness people in the area and
has worked quite well with all
of these individuals and
has made a real contribution
to the overall Extension edu
cational program.
Last spring Rosemary was
married and became Rose
mary Hill. At that time we
were a little afraid that she
might have to- move to some
other city, but we were
fortunate that her husband,
Dixie, was able to obtain
employment locally. However
that situation has now chang
ed with her husband's trans
fer to Kinston effective April
1. So, Rosemary will be
leaving Robeson County foll
owing completion of the
Spring Livestock Show and
the wrap up of some other
special activities that are
underway.
We regret very much that
her departure date from the
Robeson County Extension
Service is scheduled for Mar
ch 31. Thus, the upcoming
livestock show will essential
ly be her swan song in terms
of major events in Robeson
County.
Rosemary has worked hard
to develop the spring hog
show into a broader activity
that now includes a steer
show. Most junior livestock
shows in North Carolina have
a fairly small swine show and
a reasonably large steer show.
However, in Robeson County
as our local swine industry
developed and considerable
emphasis was placed on im
provement of our swine, our
local hog show grew dramatic
ally but remained a show thai
was designed primarily for
adult producer* to gain a
greater appreciation for qual
ity livestock. Now that this
goal has been essentially
accomplished, the new em
phasis upon youth participa
tion and a multipurpose show
seems to be the order of the
day.
Many livestock producers
from throughout Robeson
County have again helped to
sell advertisements for the
livestock show program which
raises money for tiie premi
ums and the many trophies
that are presented at the
show. This year's livestock
show will be held at the
Jaycee Fairgrounds in Lum
berton on Wednesday, March
17.
The day will be jam packed
with activities beginning with
the 7 a.m. weighing and entry
of all of the animals. Then at
12 noon the steer show will
begin. Following the steer
show, at 1 p.m. the hog show
will begin knd continue until
about 4:30.
Then, the evening activities
will begin at 7 p.m. with a
civic club judging contest plus
the presentation of awards
and comments about the
animals by the judges. Dr.
Bob Jones and Mr. Jim Butler
from North Carolina State
University. Following these
comments all of the cham
pions will be paraded and the
sale of the animals will be
held with Adolph Stuart of
Pate's Stockyards providing
the auctioneering services.
While the^Extension Ser
vice provides the overall
leadership and coordination
for the livestock show, the
livestock producers themsel
ves play a very significant role
in the show in addition to their
raising of the money for the
program. These acfivitjes in
clude weighing and entering
the animals, handling show
ring activities, and making
1 contacts with potential buyers
to secure support for purchase
of the championship animals.
Also, the Lumberton Jaycees
provide significant support of
the show through their mak>.
ing available the total fair
grounds operations and their
sharing in the maintenance
and operations of the livestock
arena.
While it is not possible to
mention everything about the
upcoming livestock show in
this column, I would certainly
like to emphasize that any
person who is interested in
the overall development of
Robeson County and especi
ally the agricultural industry
is more than welcome to
attend this activity, and cer
tainly there is no admission
charge for this event.
Since all of the animals
shown at the Spring Livestock
Show are sold directly for
slaughter, the local business
firms who add such signifi
cant additional support to the
show for the winning animals
certainly deserve a great
amount Of credit. The buyers
of last year's championship
animals includes Southeast
PC A and Federal Land Bank
Associaton, Robeson Garage
and Tire Service, United
Carolina Bank, the FCX stores
in Lumberton and Pembroke,
the FCX Grain Marketing
Service, Carolina Grain and
Feed Store, Pate's Stockyard
and Progressive Savings and
Loan. We naturally anticipate
these firms participating
again this year plus others
who continue to show strong
support for the development
of the overall agricultural
industry in Robeson County.
While this will be Rose
mary's last livestock show in
the county, we do expect to be
able to fill the livestock
agent's position with anothei
qualified individual within
! next* few months and tt
continue the tradition of pro
! gress in the livestock industry
that was begun many yean
ago.

The Pembroke Jaycettes
conducted an Individual De
velopment Program on Lead
ership during their Feb. 23rd
meeting. The guest speake
for the program was Mike
Mclntyie, an attorney from
Lumberton, who spoke on
"The Paradox of True Lead
ership." Mike Mcintyre is
president of the Robeson
County Young Democrats,
was a delegate to the Demo
cratic National Convention in
1980, and has held a long list
of positions as a leader itr
varous organizations.
Mike noted in his speech
three important attributes for
being a good leader: 1.
accepting responsibility; 2.
good character, and 3. ability
to serve. He placed great
priority upon these attributes,
and clearly enforced the idea
that "one's sbility to lead is
only as great as one's ability
to serve."
FoBowbig the program re
freshments were served by
club chaplain, Theresa Lock
leer, who is a great coek and a
perfect hostess.
