There will be a community meeting
over much of the sta^e aiTii spent
considerable of his time during the
summer months in exploring ^the
plant life of North Carolina and is
so well informed in such things that
he made a thoroughly interesting
talk. Probably no state exceeds
North Carolina in its variety of trees
found, native in the state, and in
the mountains are to be found, he
said, a group of young men and pro
fessors each summer from as far
away as Iowa. They come to North
Carolina to study the forest trees,
where they jfind thousands of acres
of virgin forest covered with trees
in greater variety than they know
where to find them in any other
state.
Dr. Wells is a graduate of Ohio
State and the University of Chic

hills and plans a return engagement
some time in March.
DIPLOMAS FOR
GOOD FARMING
Competitive Scheme to Interest
People in Rural
Life.
At the Wednesday dinner at the
Kiwanis club in the Country club
dining room at Pinehurst a somewhat
novel proposition was offered by G.
W. Crockett, of New England, who
has been studying the Canadian pol
icy of competitive farming. Mr.
Crockett tells to folks of Moore
county that in Canada a plan has
been working for some time in which
a diploma is offered for a certain
excellence in the management of the
farm, a silver medal for certain other
accomplishments and a gold medal
for superior excellence. The points
involved are several, being with
others, the profits from farming, the
methods, the handling of live stock,
the appearance of the farm, farm
machinery, etc. The project appeals
to the farmers and a large number
are taking advantage of it, and it
is having a wholesome influence on
farm advancement, and on the pros
perity of many of the farms.
Mr. Crockett says this project has
done more for the advance of farm
ing in the province of Quebec than
anything else in a long time. While
conditions in thU section are differ
ent from those in Canada he thinks
that Moore county farms could prof
it by following the example set by

PROFFESSOR WELLS GIVES
TALK ON PLANT LIFE
B. W. Wells, professor of Botany of | as the efforts of the
club can provide. While this was
the plan, and it will be heard from
later.
Among other things done at the
meeting was a resolution looking t
an annual guarantee of not less than
$400 for educational purposes, and
State college gave an interesting lec
ture and talk on the plant life of
North Carolina Sunday night in the
Congregational church of Southern
Pines. Prof. Wells had with him
about sixty five slides. Theses pic
tures were taken from the coast to
the mountains, giving an idea of the
plant life in the widely different sec
tions from the smallest blossoms to
our tallest trees. North Carolnia
has a reputation of having in its
state all the wild flowers known from
Maine to Florida, so with this great
variety to chose from and found in
such varying conditions, from low
altitudes to the high mountain re
lection. Dr. Wells has tramped
gions it makes up a wonderful col-
primarily aimed at the Farm Life
school at Eureka, it was not fixed
absolutely, and if the amount justi
fies it will be placed where it may
seem to be best for the purpose.
