iFARMERS TO HOLD
A MEETING SOON
To Meet for Purpose of Making Plao
of W ork for Chatham County
for 1930
The Chatham County Agricultural
Board composed of three farmers
from each township in the county
will meet with the County Agent at
Pittsboro, Wednesday of this week
for the purpose of assisting him in
making a plan of work for (Jnatham
County for 1930. It will be remem
bered that this board was organized
in R 925. This board has a
great help to the agent in assisting
him in accomplishing work that has
been planned. Their co-operation has
been all that could be asked for.
IMPORTANT ANNOUUCEMENT
TO COTTON GROWERS
Farmers in this county who ex
pect to grow cotton another year
must face the boll weevil situation
and face it now. Unless farmers are
willing to dust their cotton, they must
face a situation that will come up
every wet year, as it has done dur
ing the past two years. The dust
poison method for control of the
control of the boll weevil is effective.
Texas and other southeastern states
have been growing cotton under boll
weevil conditions for the past twenty
years. Farmers who expect to grow
cotton in 1930 should plan now to
get their dusting materials and equip
ment. Even though it should be a
dry year, those who have equipment
will be prepared for the boll weevil,
wet or dry. The county agent is ready j
at all times to confer with and ad
vise any farmers in regard to this
matter.
There will be a dusting demon
stration, at which the latest machin
ery and equipment will be used at the
farm of Dr. Clarence Poe, two miles
from Raleigh on highway No. 90 at
10 a. m., Monday, December 16.
Plan now to attend this demonstra
tion.

Many farm dollars are lost in the

The really proud farmer shuns “the

The farm board that will give
