PAGE TWO BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. Some of the Things It is Expected to Accomplish Get Harvesting and Threshing Machines in Order. (By Dr. A. H. Kerr, Farm Demonstra tion Agent.) Last Monday, at a meeting of the board of commissioners, it was decid ed advisable for the successful work of promotion of agriculture in Robe Bon county to organize a county board of agriculture, which board sho'ild be composed of representative? of each school district. The school district composing a township should select a township representative which should be on the county executive board. The action of this board of agriculture, when representatives in the school districts and townships do their duty, will be the most efficient organization we have in the county that is, not on a pay roll. Some of the things we want to ac complish with the board of agricul ture is getting at the n3eds of the county in the way of food and other necessary articles, to be self-sustaining, and then the best plans for making the biggest money crop. To do this, each school district or town ship representative will be supplied with small blanks for individual farm ers to fill in and sign, which shall state what articles they have foij sale in farm products and what they want to buy. These will be sent in and we are trying to arrange so that they may be displayed in all of j the towns in the county. The town-; shjp representatives also will be m touch with the farm and home dem- j onstration agents at all times and each member of the neighborhood should m?ke their want? known to the school! district or township representative, then when calling upon the townsh'p or school district representative., the farm or home demonstration agent may see and discuss with each of these parties those things that they most need. As it is about time for wheat and oat harvest, every man owning a mowing machine, a reaper and a binder and a threshing machine should now look into its condition and imme diately see that it is put in perfect working order, so that the wheat cut or threshed will not have a bushel or two of grains left in the straw, bu; will be treshed completely, thus sav ing an immense quantity of wheat. You can easily see how fifty thresh ing machines wasting ten bushels of wheat would amount to a large sum, while it is very small in an indi vidual case- NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT.

Annie Laura Phillips, and Mary Lee Norment of Lumberton have been very welcome guests of Miss Emma Fleming recently, the latter spending the week-end with her. Saturday afternoon and Sunday were seasons of special grace among our Smyrna people. The congrega tions were large and the music was fine. A quartette composed of mixed voices deserves special mention. The members were Messrs. W. H. Davis, Enoch Lovett, Mrs. Gause Collins and Miss Bodie Lovett. They sang beau tifully at the morning service, and in the afternoon the Sunbeams, under the leadership of Miss Orma Davis, rendered a very choice selection. Among the visitors from a distance were Messrs. R. A. Moore and A. S. Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Lamb of Lumberton. and a car load of passengers from Little Rock, S. C, who were warmly welcomed. It gives us much pleasure to put our Smyrna church on the honor roll Tor having increased the pastor's salary 16 2-3 per cent. She is the first one of our five churches to take this step, and her consideration is greatly ap preciated.

ROBESON AT SUMMER SCHOOL feJ&5lp5 BEST IN -THE LONG RUN & si 1 GOODRICH TESTED TIRES Goodrich TW "l" : Boy from Goodrich m, ' Supt. R. E. Sentelle Will Be Connect ed With State College Summer School June 11 to July 25. Mr. R. E. Sentelle, superintendent of the Lumberton graded schools, will be connected with the State college summer school at Raleigh again this summer and will be a membe1 of the teaching staff. Those acquainted with Mr. Sentelle will be assured of the excellence of the instruction his classes will receive. Mr. Sentelle will give courses in arithmetic, geography, and school administration. Another feature which is being rec ognized throughout the St.a.'-e is the unique opportunity Raleigh affords the summer school students for clcso hand observation of many of the State's educational, political and socio logical institutions, a knowledge which has aided materially those those teachers who have studied them in teaching North Carolina history, geography, and civil government. Al ready several teachers from Robeson county have made reservations for the 6 weeks session and many more ere expected for the whole session as well as for the institutes which run from June 7 to 28, and July 8 to 19, and the high school institute from June 12 to 25. Robeson county, one of the richest agricultural counties of the State, will be interested in knowing that the courses in agriculture presented at the summer school are approved by the State and Federal boards of vocational education, and those teach ers wno meet the requirements and satisfactorily complete the courses in agriculture will be granted temporary certificates under the Smith-Hughes Coxycrressional act, allowing them tc i tesch agriculture. fff T the City of Goodrich, they tjfftl have officially announced the grand mileage of Goodrich's nation-wide Test Car work of 1917: 1,044,686 linear miles. 4,178,744 tire miles. These figures indite the Emancipation Act of motorists, freeing them from tire mishaps and amputated mileage. Compressed in them is the story of the famous Six Fleets, and how they hurled Goodrich Tires the length and breadth of our nation, over city pavement and country road, ploughing them through sand and mud; mauling them against rock and gravel.
