Commissioners Get
Another Request
For Negro Agent
The need for a Negi;o farm
agent in Moore County has
grown rapidly in the past few
years and has now reached the
point where “some Negro farm
ers might not mqke it in the fu
ture if improved agricultural
methods are not provided,” the
Coimty commissioners were told
Monday.
Carson Brower of Carthage,
Negro farmer who has been a
member of several delegations in
recent years attempting to per
suade the commissioners that a
farm agent was needed, said,
most Negro farmers in the coun
ty do not have enough “know
how” to produce more than one
crop each year. The' employment
of an agent would, he pointed
out, help to alleviate the prob
lem, which could become a sore
spot in the county’s economy if
left alone.
“If I ever did need'the Lord
before, I need Him now.” Brow
er said, quoting an old Negro
spiritual. “And that’s the way
we feel about a county agent. We
need him now,' and desperate
ly.”
Brower, accompanied to the
meeting by four other Negroes,
including J. J. Jeffries, district
supervisor of the State’s Exten
sion Service, said the 20 per cent
cut in tobacco allotments this
year would be a serious economic
lilow to Negro farmers, mostly
DISCUSS BENEFIT DINNER—^Meeting at the Pinehurst Coun

ON VIEW MONDAV
Next Art Exhibition At Library
To Feature Father-Daughter Work
A father-daughter exhibition
will be the next offering of the
Library Gallery committee.
Starting Monday, Emily Forrest,
(Mrs. MaxweU Forrest) will show
a few of her recent paintings and
plans to exhibit with them some
tenants. “They had a poor living
previous to the cut. It’s easy to
see what is coming now,” he
said.
Jeffries told the commission
ers that the state had the money
to provide its share of paying for
an agent. He said one would be
available April 1 “or right now,
if you put up the county’s share
of the required funds.’'
In order to have a full
time agent and secretary, the
county would have to allocate
$2,760 each year; the remainder
of the funds, about half, would be
put up by state and federal
agencies.
'There are at present about 400
Negro farm families in the coun
ty, with about 217 of them clas
sified as owners.
Jeffries also pointed out that,
if the Negro farmers, or any. oth
ers, for that matter, failed to
keep up with the times, they
would become a burden to the
county as relief cases. He said
that training farmers to produce
more than one crop each year on
their land would stave off the
problem now and would, he
hoped, eventually solve it.
The commissioners, already be
ing pressed for heavy demands in
the upcoming budget, said they
would give the matter serious
consideration.
of the work of her father, the late
James Cook McKell.
Mr. McKell, who was an illus
trator, was a Philadelphian, but
had visited the Sandhills several
times. On one of these occasions,
he painted a picture of the lake at
Lakeview, which he gave to his
daughter and which Mrs. Forrest
hopes to include, space permit
ting, in next week’s show.
A specialist in the illustration
of “westerns”, the Philadelphia
artist worked almost entirely in
oils. Following his death, at, Eas
ter-time last year, Mrs. Forrest
brought down from Philadelphia
a few of the canvasses not placed
in storage with the major portion
of her father’s work. Among them
are several which won prizes at
the annual Philadelphia Sketch
Club picnics, informal sjlring
gatherings of that group of talent
ed. people.
Mrs. Forrest has exhibited in
the Library Gallery several times.
She works primarily in oils with,
portraiture! her special field..
Among her portraits of children;
are paintings of JuMa and John-
McMillan, children of Dr. and
Mrs. R. M. McMjllan, and David
and Betsey Lynch, Mrs. K. N. Mc-
CoU’s grandchildren, from Ben-
netts-ville, S. C.
Besides her own painting, Mrs.
Forrest has taught art classes both
here and at Ft. Bragg. Her own
background training brought her
a degree from the Pennsylvania
School of Fine Arts, followed by
several years as a fashion artist at
■Wanamaker’s, before she turned
entirely to creative painting.
She and her husband live at 545
Orchard Road. Mr. Forrest is at
the head of Angus MiUs, Inc., of
Vass.
