Three hundred and forty-one tons of nitrate of soda are available for im mediate shipment to Robeson county farmers and Mr. W. K. Bethune, who has been appointed county distribu tor, will go to Wilmington to assist in getting it routed and to hurry up delivery. Mr. Bethune received a telegram from the Department of Agriculture in Washington Tuesday advising that owing to small quantity of nitrate a vailable fat immediate distribution it would be possible to supply Rob eson county farmers now only 341 tons. As stated in Monday's Robe sonian, Mr. Bethune had requested 775 tons, or 25 per cent of the entire amount ordered by the farmers of this county, at once. The amount a ailable for distribution now is a lit tle more than 10 per cent, of the a mount of orders placed and Mr. Be thune wired for it to be shipped in amounts as follows to the places nam ed, distribution over the county being practically on a 10 per cent, basis: To Rowland, 26 tons; Marietta, 10; Lumber Bridge 30; Maxton 50; Purvis 12; Mcdonald 20; Proctorville 12; Red Springs, 20; Pembroke, 22; Fairmont, '50; St. Pauls, 16; Lumberton, 93. Members of the committee acting with Mr. Bethune are: A. J. McKin non, Maxton; A. T. McCallum, Red Springs; A. J. Floyd, Fairmont; J. ML Butler, St. Pauls; A. D. McKenzie, Rowland; WT. M. Oliver, Marietta. Each member of the committee will distribute the nitrate shipped to the point nearest him. i m. America" was sung by the au dience and prayer was offered by Mr. J. N. Regan. Appeal for Organization. Dr. Kerr was the first to speak and he made a strong appeal for the or ganization of the farmers. He ex plained how the farmers of a commu nity, if properly organized, could get the market reports and told of many ways by which the citizens of a com munity are benefited by being or ganized. Dr. Kerr made a good im pression upon Ihe audience. Farmers The Last Line of Defense. Mr. Parker's address was in the na ture of a patriotic appeal. He declar ed that any well-o- ranized army had several lines of defense. The young men of our country, the speaker said, are making up the first line, and the last line of defensi must be made by the farmers of the South. The speaker declared that the peo ple of America are facing a test that should bring out the best of men and women. We as citizens of the United States owe a responsibility to our country and to our Cod. Robeson county has already been honored be cause of the fact that at least two of her sons have given liieir lives for the principles for which we are fighting. We must keep t'3 battle lines in Europe. If v. fail to do this then they will corns to America, and then the American people will realize that war is going on. Grew Food Crops.

All along the western front the ac tivity of the fighting forces still has been held down to small infantry at tacks and artillery duels which on some sectors have been quite violent. To the French again has fallen the task of repelling fierce infantry at tacks, but all of them were put down with sanguinary losses to the attack ers.

Can we deny our own sons this support? the speaker asked. In closing his address Mr. Parker told of some plans for providing water for growing crops, plenty of vege table matter ,he said, is one of the most important factors for supplying water for crops. Gardening. Dr. Jeffries made a most instruc tive lecture on gardening. The speak er urged the importance of selecting well-drained plots for a garden and also explained the importance of good fertilization. A picked male choir furnished splendid music for the occasion, which as a whole was highly entertaining and instructive. On their part the Germans have adopted another new plan of warfare which the American troops on the sector attacked described as "dirty work." This was the dropping from an airplane of large rubber balls fill ed with mustard gas. None of the American troops was injured in the attack. Secretary of War Baker has had a narrow escape on the American front. A German shell burst within forty yards of his automobile, but did no damage.

Having been unsuccessful in per fecting arrangements with the Neth erlands government for taking over Dutch vessels lying in American and Allied ports the United States and Great Britain have ordered all such essels seized in accordance with in ternational law and put into service for the benefit of the Allies. Holland, in the face of German threats and intimidations, long had hesitated to relinquish the desired mercantile marine and nothing re mained but the United States and Great Britain to act within their sov ereign rights and seize the ships, full compensation for the use or destruc tion of which is to be given. Not alone will the owners of the ves sels, many of which have lain idle for months, begin again to derive rev enue from them but all the people of Holland will benefit by the seizures, inasmuch as the country will be per mitted to receive ample foodstuffs from abroad and also be protected in carrying out her colonial trade. As a result of the action of the Jmerican and British governments Germany may now be expected to be sdn a heightened campaign of fright fulness with her Uboats which doubt less will be met by a more intensive program of defense against sinkings on the part of the Allies.
