NUMBER 100 HOW FARMERS CAN GET NITRATE OF SODA $2,552.25 FOR RED CROSS I RED SPRINGS NEWS ITEMS ! GLENNWOOD GLEANINGS ! Committee Appointed to Take Or ders All Orders Must be in I Hands of Committee by Febru ary 4 Soda Must be Paid for in Advance. Mr. R. W. Freeman of Wilson, dis trict farm demonstration agent, spent yesterday in Lumberton and perfected plans for Robeson farmers to get ni trate of soda from the government at cost. After going over the matter with Mr. F. Grover Britt, secretary treasurer of the Robeson division of the Farmers union, he decided to ap point a committee to take the orders, as there is no demonstration agent in Robeson. The following were appointed on the committee: W. K. Bethune, chair man, Lumberton; A. J. MeKinnon, Maxton; A.T. McCallum, Red Springs; A. D. McKenzie, Rowland; J. M. But ler, St. Pauls; A. J. Floyd, Fairmont; W. M. Oliver, Marietta. All orders must be in the hands of the committee by February 4 and each farmer wishing to get the soda must go before some member of the com mitte and fill out his individual or der. No orders can be mailed, 'phoned or sent to the committee in any way If you want to apply for some of the soda it is important that you see some member of the committee in person at once and make out your or der. On February 5 the committee will meet and bunch the orders and send them to the Bureau of Markets, Wash ington, D. C. The bureau will canvass the orders and notify Mr. Bethune as to how much soda each farmer can get. Then the farmer must deposit money enough in the National Bank of Lumberton to cover the amount of soda he is to get with the State tax added, which is around 20 cents oa tne ton. The National Bank of Lumber ton was named as depository by Mr. Freeman and as soon as the money is deposited it will oe sent to Washing ton. This does not mean that the National Bank of Lumberton will fur nish the money for buying the soda, however. Those who get the soda must raise the money and deposit it with the bsnk. The coda will not ;;e sold excepi co farmers and they cannot re-scll it ex cept to tenants and then cannot collert more for it than the price which they ..aid the government. The orice of the soda is S75.50 the ton and the freight from Wilmington. However, the "government does not collect the freight, but this is paid to the agent where the soda is delivered. The soda will be sacked 200 pounds to the sack. It will be shipped in carload lots and shipped at whatever time the farmer may want it deliver ed. The orders which many farmers have already made out and sent to various places will not be considered, as no Robeson order will be valid un less made out by one of the men nam ,: en the committee.
