A farmers club to promote the j. interests of a better agricultural c irntram in the county has been t r- wo jrganized by the leading farmers of j Scotland County. The new club has { [4 points by which it plans to at;ack the agricultural situation and t ;hose members who join the or- p ,ranization pledge themselves to en- { ;er at least one cr more of the jrojects. a "In joining our Farmers Club, the e nember first pledges himself to ^ jrow all the food and feed for his v 'amily, tenants and livestock insofar j, is practical, regardless of the price v if cotton, tobacco and other cash ^ irops,'' says Sam E. Evans, county j. igent. "He also agrees to use only t pure bred sires on his farm for < logs, cattle and poultry. After this a .here are 14 other projects, one or s nore of which, he agrees to enter ^ ictively during the year, and to care r or and maintain the project during j, he time of his membership. p These are as follows: 1?Two t rood sows and their increase; 2.? ine pure bred sew; 3.?two milk c ows and their increase; 4.?one e >ure bred milk cow; 5? 50 pure s ired hens and their increase; 6? t hree or more pure bred sheep; 7.? h , permanent pasture of Bermuda t ir a combination of Carpet grass, t .espedeza and Dallis grass; 8.?to I ilant soybeans, cowpeas or velvet c leans in each and every acre of t! orn; 9.?to plant as many acres t f winter cover crops of rye, vetch, t /inter peas, etc., as practical; 10.? t o become a grower of peanuts for r market and livestock; 11.?to plant e >ne acre or more of lespedeza for r eed and hay; 12.?to grow sufficient t /heat to properly care for my a amily, tenants and livestock; 13.? o become a grower of certified seed t if cottcn, corn, oats, wheat, rye, * arley, tobacco, lespedeza (Check ine or more). 14.?to keep cost ac- | ount records of one or more of the ibcve checked projects.

But the mere tatement of that fact conveys little >f the drama that lay behind his ict. Only a few months before he tecame George Washington, private itizen, he might have become miliary dictator of America, and at the , ifting of a finger. He put aside the j jroposal in indignation, but had ( Jeorge Washington been other than ] he man he was, the history of the < Jnited States might read very dif- j erently from what it dees. While the surrender of Cornwallis | ,t Yorktown in 1781 had virtually j nded the Revolution in victory for * imerica, desultory fighting still < x TTr?/-vr-\ trricl-ioH f.O 1 /Gill Oil, ctliu VV dOUiug w/u. niMtivu * :eep the army up to strength. It pas nevertheless a period of inactivity, and the officers and soldiers lad plenty of time to brood over heir grievances at the hands of. Congress. Their pay was long in rrears. Numbers of the officers had acrificed their personal {fortunes o the cause of their country. And iow they faced the prcspect of beng turned back into private life, enniless and ignored by a country ? hat appeared to them ungrateful. ; This bitter sentiment reached a | limax while the army was stationd at Newburgh, It finally took hape in an open hint to Washingon that he place himself at the lead of this movement in the army o take over the government, and hus make himself dictator of America. So impoverished was the ountry, and so feeble had become he State and national governments, hat nothing could have stood in he way of this move,had Washingon yielded. Instead he indignantly ebuked his officers for this threatned stain on their patriotism, pro_ nised once more to stir Congress to ake up the matter of payment, nd in this he finally succeeded.

On April 17, Washington was informed that an agreement for the suspension oi hostilities had been signed. In due time thereafter came the disband, ing of the army, the triumphal entry of Washington and Governor Clinton into New York City, on the heels of the departing British, and the famous farewell that the Commander in Chief bade his faithful officers at Fraunce's Tavern. Immediately . afterward, Washington went to Philadelphia, to present an account of his personal expenses during the eight years of the war. The business being concluded, Washington left Philadelphia for Annapolis, where Congress was then sitting. There he arrived on December 20, and asked the president of Congress as to the manner in which be should resign his commission. The 23rd was named as the day for this ceremony. At 12 o'clock the state TTouse. where Con LViai J lUilW N/VMVW ? , Tress was in session, was crowded for the occasion. The galleries and i large part of the floor in the Hall if Congress was filled with ladies, functionaries of the State and National Governments, military men md citizens. Washington entered, conducted by ;he secretary of Congress, and took ais appointed seat. After a brief jause, General Mifflin, president of Congress, announced that "the [Jnited States in Congress assembled'' were prepared to receive his ;ommunication. In the course of his irief address, Washington said. "The great events on which my rei lisp, I ,A I I $ I & Thi I for $1.1 II i I i 1 I The Warren I ' & courage cour H ?

The Ws D ^ . signation depended having at length i ; taken place, I now have the honor 1 , of offering my sincere congratula- < | tions to Congress, and of presenting 1 myself before them, of retiring from i [ the service of my country." A few s . words of praise for his officers and 1 , the army, a solemn appeal for the f [ blessing of Gcd on his country, and < , he had finished. 1 [ A newspaper of the time, the i Maryland Gazette, in describing the 1 i scene, said, "Few tragedies have < i ever drawn so many tears from so i many eyes as the moving manner ] in which his Excellency took his | final leave of Congress." ] ! On the next morning Washington | set forth from Annapolis and reach, i ed Mount Vernon that same eve- ] ning?Christmas Eve?to spend there perhaps the happiest Christ- , mas of his life. Thus eagerly did ( the victor of the war for our In- ( dependence forget military glory r and return to the ranks of fellow ^ citizens. , They Pick Incomes i From Onslow Swamp J Onslow county beekeepers picked j up some $10,000 in money from the ] #1 5?? o hlnc I _ uuwemig tioco, omuup U..>1 t some of the county's swamp land during the past year. j "When agricultural extension ? wcrk first began in this county c there were only a few farmers who , kept any bees at all," says C.

C. FRIDAY eport from county farm agent Veill M. Smith saying that seven )f the leading beekeepers had made eports of their year's work. These nen kept 820 colonies of the insects this year and produced 108,- ; L18 pounds of honey. This will sell or $10,928.80. The seven beekeep. jrs had 504 Italian queens at the lead of their hives and the averige production of honey per hive ivas 133 pounds. The value of pro- . iuction per hive was $13.31." Mr. Sams says that most of this income was clear profit. The better itekeepers are using modern colony louses instead of the old gums and loxes and where this new plan has seen adopted better yields of honey iave been secured." Last year, eight beekeepers made eports to Mr. Smith showing that >11 colonies produced 44,809 pounds )f honey that sold for $6,549.91. rhe average of production last year vas 74 pounds of honey to the :olony and the average value of arh hive was 510.75. In spite of ower prices this year, better in:omes have been received. This is iue in large part to the better care liven the bees, the new and modern lives, and the introduction of Italian queens into many of the :olonies. There are a number of other bee. :eepers in the county who are idopting better methods but who lo not keep reeords in cooperation vith county agent Smith, says Mr. Sams.
