Lewis sold 3.645 acres of land at public auction for approximately ?14,500. This land is situated in the Back and Jacob Swamp Drainage District and the land was sold to make the first of ten annual payments for drainage work. The total amount of taxes unpaid for which the land was sold is onlv about S3.000. In some in. ttances the land sold for much more than enough to make all the ten pay. ments. , It is the opinion of laeal attorneys that 'according to the bill the own ers of the land sold have no chnnce whatever to redeem the land. How ever, it is expected that this will be tested before the Supreme Court. The payments on real estate in the district grow a little1 less each year. Prooerty owners in the district vot ed bonds in the sum of $150,000 to complete the work. While the canals opened up will make the lands in the district much more valuable and productive, many of . the ownres are nbt pleased when the payments come due.

Miss Maria McMillan was sick for some time with grippe, but is able to be out again. A question that is puzzling a great many farmers through here is, will it pay them to use any guano, as there ' being no potash obtainable, or at least a very small amount, it is difficult for them to decide whether or not it will pay them to use any of the kind obtainable. Most all the prosperous farmers through this im mediate section, so we are reliably informed, are not going to use much any kind. Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

The Robesonian. l tie county commissioners and the; county board of education took a big step forward Monday, when theyi made it possible for the county's! Farm-Life School and demonstration, 1 work to join hands in one common end. By this action they have made1 it possible for these two forces to better serve the agricultural inter, ests of the county. They have thus recognized the educational as well rs tiio agricultural lmportsaue tf the demonstration work and the work of-ihe- Farm-Lif e -School. By- the union of these forces less duplication i and greater efficiency will result. It' U commg to be realized more every j day that there is a place in every county for a Farm-Life School. It, is also recognized that the Farm-Life; School in order to serve the best in-! ai terests of the county must be truly a county institution with the entire county back of it and always en thusiastic in its support. It was thought that by the union of the demonstration work with that of the Farm-Lif School the scope ef the school's work could be very much broadened and that also by so do ing the demonstration work would be put on a broader and more effici- The plan as worked out and adopt. ed by the county boards on Monday will necessarily bring the work cf the Farm-Life School more promin ently before those -whon it would serve.
