At the request of Mr. D. II. Britt, ' president of the Robes jn Diision of the Farmers' Union, the following Rooeson County farmers have sent to The Robesonian the number of acres t'.ey have planted in wheat: B. L. Page, F'airmont, 1 1-2 acres; John Fax, Fairmont, 2 1-2; P. C. Hen ley, Marietta, 4; J. S. Oliver, Ma lietta, 2; J. T. Hamilton, Marietta, 2; P. G.

Bethune, Lumberton, 1 acre. ; .Most all eh o so- reporting say that i their wheat is looking well and th? prospect for a go H c rop is bright. Some say they expect twenty-five bushels to the acre, others expect ni(,re. Mr. Ja?. McLaughlin of I'embr ke suggests that somebody who knows the best way to grow and jh'irvest wheat would do the farm ers a favor by tilling through the column of The Robesonian how it is done. The Robesonian will be glad to publish anything in regard to wheat growing, ,r anything else that will be of interest ii farmers. From the above li.-t one can see that there are many acres of wheat ei'owing in Robesnn. Cninty Farm Demonstrator L. E. Blancr.ard say he is sure there is as much as 1000 acres. This means thn.t a flour mill is needed i i Robes n. and ni doubt somebody will get busy and put in one -it once. It might be ad e i that the 1(10(1 or riiore acres planted are planted on land that has heretofor? been growing cott-a. There are al so a good many more oats growing in the county this year than befir: in many moons. And corn, too, is taking up more territory than us -al. This is a mighty good sign jf better times in Robeson. Any others who have wheat and rave not reported it would '-0 wo" t ) send in the list betweeji now and the time for the next county meet ing of the Farmers' Union, which will be Wednesday, June 10.
