Friday, February 25, 1927. FARM LIFE ALUMNI ASS’N. Organized Tuesday Evening Fifcbr|ia^) 22 THE PILOT At an enthusiastic gathering of more than one hundred young people at the Sandhill Farm Life school on Tuesday evening, February 22, the Farm Life School Alaimni Association was organized. An excellent dinner, consisting of grape-fruit, roast chicken, timbales of green peas, mashed potatoes, let tuce and tomato salad, Charlotte russe and coffee, was served by the students in the home economics course at the school, and all those present declared that this appetising meal, and its splendid service, were proof enough of the quality of their train ing. After the dinner, at which Profes sor Hutcheson and Mrs. Hutcheson prepared, Mr. John R. McQueen spoke briefly to the guests, saying that life should be divided into a period of getting, and a period of giving, and that the students of the school were now engaged in getting education and training which would enable them, in after years, to give aid and encour agement to others. He said that, af ter ten years' experience with the Farm Life School, and of close asso ciation with its gradHiates, he was happy to be able to declare that the training given in the school, and its traditions, had turned out a group of citizens of whom the county might well be proud; and that the graduates of the school were daily meeting the demands of life, and giving liberally to others of the help they had them selves received. As always, Mr. McQueen’s remarks were received with the respectful and affectionate attention which they de served. For, surely, there is no other man in Moore county, if anywhere in the country, who has given more, or is giving more, to others in interest, and affection, and encouragement, as well as in material aid. No commun ity could have a better citizen than Mr. McQueen; that we all know. But even those who are closest to him sometimes fail to realize the extent of his benefactions; for he follows the Script^ural injunction closely, and does not let his right hand know what his left is doing. He is con tinually giving, of his means, and of his strength, and of the abundant treasure of his generous heart, with out asking or expecting recognition. He is of those who “do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame,” but such a life as his is like a lamp set upon a hill—its light shines far. Afterward, Mr. Claude Hayes, an other firm friend and supporter of the school, spoke briefly, and Dr. Poate urged the alumni of the school to work whole-heartedly to convince the people of Moore county that Farm Life School should be taken over and supported by the county. Such a gathering of wholesome, in telligent young people was in itself the best possible demonstration of the work which Farm Life School has been doing so quietly during the past ten years. Any county, of any state in the union ,might well be proud of such a group of young men and wom en, in their hands, the future of our county is secure. In the last analysis, every institu tion must be judged by its output. The Farm Life School can well point to its output—^to this group of young men and women who gathered there Tuesday night, and to the hundred or more other graduates who were un able to come—and challenge compar ison with any school in this State. It would be a calamity if this school were allowed to close its doors for lack of public support; but all those present Tuesday evening left con vinced that, once the voters of our county understand what Farm Life School has done, and is doing, there will be no lack of wholehearted pub lic support. After a few well-chosen words from Professor Hutcheson, the alum ni present proceeded to organize their association. D. Waylon Blue, of Jackson Springs, was elected presi dent; Miss Cornelia Phillips, of Man ley, vice president; Herbert L. Sea- grove, of Farm Life School, secre tary, and Miss Mary McLeod, of Vasv treasurer. Mr. McQueen, Mr. Hayes and Dr. Poate were elected an honorary ad visory committee, to aid in the work of the association and to endeavor to elist public support for the work of the school. The Farm Life School was organ- Page Three mxxxxmxtxxwxxtxixxittxxxtxmnitttttttmtttxixxxtmttttmnxixmximtmmxmixxtxxxttm ized as a high school in 1915, and it was exceedingly gratifying to note the large number of the members of the earlier classes attending the ban quet.

NORTH CAROLINA WEEK- LY INDUSTRIAL REVIEW Com yields in North Carolina have increased from 9 to 14 bushels per acre during the last 40 years. Better cropping methods are responsible for these higher jdelds, say investigators of the United States Department of Agriculture. Though farmers of Union county saved about 3,000 bushels of lespedeza seed last season, they gave orders for a car of seed for February delivery. FOR SALE OR EXCHANGE.
