KIWANIS CLUB MEETS WITH FARMERS • " AT BROADWAY Ladies Serve a Most Sumptuous Dinner—Men Pitch Horse Shofs to Whet Their Apetifces —After Dinner All Assemble in the School Auditorium to Hear Charles A. Sheffield, of the Extension Department Discuss Farm Problems from an Economic Standpoint. I Last Friday evening some 22 mem bers of the Sanford Kiwanis Club drove down to Broadway and met with the business men of Broadway and the farmers of the surrounding country. The farmers and citizens of Broadway were their guests at dinner which was prepared and served by the good ladies of the town and section in the grove near the iold and new school buildings. The members of the club and their guests pitched horse shoes while the ladies prepared the table. When called their appetites were pre pared for one of the. most sumptuous feasts ever served the club. Some of the most successful farmers in this part of the State live in and around Broadway, also some of the best cooks if we are to judge by the supper that they spread before that hungry bunch of men. Miss Simpson, our most ef ficient demonstration agent, was pre sent and helped prepare and serve the meal. The following ladies served: Miss Cornelia Simpson, Mesdames D. E. Shaw, M. A. McLeod, S. H. Rosser, Clara Rosser, Henry Thomas, Walt Thomas, Milton- Thomas, C. E. Thomas, Lonnie Sloan, John A. Buchanan, W. W- McNeill, H. C. Mc Neill, J. C. Davis, G. M. Harrington, Nettie McLean, S. V. Stevens, H. A. Kelly, Henry Rives. Misses Margaret Kelly, Alberta Watson, Virginia Thomas, Lelja Shaw. President June Gunter will exper ience no trouble in getting that crowd of Kiwanians to go to Broadway the next time it is announced that the ladies of that place will serve the. club. It was one of the most profit able and enjoyable meetings the club has ever had. In addition to the busi ness men of Broadway and the farm ers of the surrounding country the following were guests of the dub: E. O. McMahan, County Demonstration Agent; Mr, B. B. Vinson, president, and Mr. E. W. Staples, executive vice president of the Greensboro Bank & Trust Company, of Greens boro. ' - After dinner had been served "all went to the auditorium of the new school bniidinr where-the regular , gram was put on. President Gunter called the meeting to order and turned the program over to Kiwanian J. M: Glarfc chairman of the agricultural committee. Mr. Charles A. Sheffield, Assistant Director of Agricultural Extension Work,with headquarters at State Col lege, Raleigh, in discussing agricul tural work before the club, made a study of farming conditions in Lee ! county, and in making this study he worked out the cost of producing j crops in the county for the years 1926, 1927, 1928 and, 1929. He found that the actual cost in producing these crops allowing $2.00 a day for labor, actual cost of fertilizer, interest on ' investment in land and equipment and , taxes was more than the selling price of the crops where the yield per acre was low. For instance the average ' yield of com in the country was only 20 bushels per acre and this 20 bush- , els is produced at a loss of $2.86'per acre, whereas if the yield was 30 bushels it would show a nice profit, while wheat, at 11 bushels per acre, oats at 22 bushels per acre and rye at 10 1-2 bushels per acre was also produced at a loss in the county. If the acre yield was increased in these crops they could be produced at a profit. He showed by figures that cotton was produced during that period at a profit of $1.26 per acre. He stated that Lee was one of the few counties in the State that produced cotton at a profit during that period. Tobacco was produced at a profit of $44.53 per acre during that period. Hay was produced at a profit of $8.85 per acre while cow peas was produced at a profit of $3.87 per acre, soy beans was produced at a profit of $7.31 per acre., Barle was, produced at a pro fit of $6.78. Irish potatoes were pro duced at a profit of $40.00 per acre and sweet potatoes at a profit of $40 per acre. ills ngures snoweu uwt caui aw hens on tne farms in Lee county pro duced an average profit of $64.00 per year. The average cow produced $20. 00 profit per year. This is a little less than a two gallon cow. The average hog ^reduced a profit of $4.59 a year, if Ip summing up the situation Mr. .Shef field said that the county was not producing enough poultry and live stock for the needs of its people. He gave us to understand that we should npt expect much increase in the live stock until we produced> more feed stuff. Since we are producing most of the feeds at a loss because of low yields per acre our greatest need is to build up the fertility of the soil. He stated that this would have to be done before dairying could be made profit able in the county. It is to be regretted that not more farmers were present to hear what Mr. Sheffield had to say about the production of the various crops in the county and the profit or loss sustained in'raising these crops. He had given the subject much re search and study and crammed a lot of worth while information in his speech of about half an hour. His figures were convincing to those who were willing to tie convinced that farm ing can be made profitable to the farmers of Lee county provided they are willing to farm according to mo dem scientific methods. 1 A BIG a EDU< Members < School Friday M Seats on Speeches tatives ol and by Si and tiie Schools.

Underwood, Hawley Griffin and W. H. White, made brief, interesting talks at the club luncheon Tuesday, each tilling why he had come to San ford to live and work. When Crabtree frist wept into the drug business he was located in Geor gia but he soon grew tired of that State and came back to Durham to look around for a new location. That was something over thirty years ago. A friend in Raleigh directed him to Sanford which was then a town of about a thousand people. The outlook was not very encouraging but the late Dr. W. A. Monroe, who was one of the greatest boosters Sanford has ever had, kept the young druggist here. He is now proud to claim as his h-ome the town which looked so unin viting three decades ago. What brought Underwood to San ford was the Sanford Cotton Mill, with which he has been connected for a number of years. He did not say so, but he has been active in everything that has made for the town’s advance ment. He likes the town well enough to say that he expects to spend tne balance of his life here. Hawley Griffin who came here from Monroe, where he was bom and educated, said that after he returned from France in 1919, where he had been in active service during the Wor.d War, he picked up a job with the Standard Oil Company, and as Sanford was one of the Company’s distributing points, they sent him here to take charge of the work. He has had a good time and thinks San ford the best place in the world. W. H. White, who first saw the light of day at Archdale, in Randolpn County, told the club something about his school days in the Middle Wegt and also gave something of his ex perience at two army camps in this country during the World War. When he came home at the close of the War the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance ' Company, of Greensboro, took note, of him and decided that he would be a good, man to write Insurance for them, and after adding him vo their list of live young agents, t! y sent him to Sanford where he 1 s been writing insurance for eleven years. Mr. White told the club that ;he Jef ferson Standard had within the past decade, loaned and invested money in Sanford to the extent of more than half a million dollars. While he did not say so he has been instrumental in securing most of these h s and since coming to Sanford h s sold insurance all over this sGr \ County and city supr ndent Wheeler was received into . club as a new member. NO CHANGE IN SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS THIS YEAR. There will be no changes in either elementary or high school text books tc be. used this year, that is the school year 930-1931, it is learned from the office of the State Superin tendent of public instruction. Under the law the State Textbook Commission may recommend that changes be made in one major and ; two minor elementary subjects dur ing gthe year A year ago the. Text boo Comkmission decided that no | change would be made in the text 1 books used this year. “It was the sense of all members present,” the resolution passed read, “that they would prefer not to make any report on suggested changes in textbooks now in use in the elemen tary schools oi the State for the 1 year 1929.” The State Board of Education, at a meeting hold on Sep tember 10, 1929, approved this action of the Textbook Commission, and passed a resolution commending the members for their attitude in this matter. The action of these two bodies means that this year the school children will use the same elementary textbooks as they have used hereto fore. I The high school textbooks used 1 were adopted for five years beginning with the last school year. Hence there will be no change in high school books until 1934. These books may be purchased by the children of the State at prices not to exceed fifteen per cent above the wholesale prices set forth in the contract with the publishers. Both the wholesale and rctfijl prices are stamped on teh books. These prices, according to .Superin tendent Allen, are fixed so that the school children may be able to se cure textbooks at the lowest possible cost. The names of the high school 'textbooks used may be secured from county and city superintendents. J. H. MONGER BACK IN HIS STORE Mr. J. H. Monger is hack in his re modeled store on Wicker Street.

Jewell-Riddle Company, of this place, secured the contract to build a “Model” house at Knollwood, near Pinehurst. This building is designed after ’‘Westover,” the famous old Byrd mansion near Richmond, the birthlpace of Dick, Tom and Harry Byrd. In speaking of the contract having been awarded tu Jewell-Riddle Company, the Aberdeen Pilot says: “This company is one of the best known in this part of the state, hav ing to their record in this section the Moore County Hospital at Pinehurst, Mrs. Andrews’ new house at Southern Pines, the Morrison houEie at Knoll wood, Mrs. Hoggs* house, the Tufts Johnson house, ten of the new build ings the government is patting up at Fort Bragg, as well as others in the neighborhood.” ‘The Westover home was built of brick made in England, and brought over especially for this house. These brick were of an odd size, as compar ed with present day brick, and the size will be duplicated in the specially made brick for this occason. The col ors will be duplicated, and the pecu liarities in every detail. The house will be a big one, representing an outlay of well up toward $100,000, and the intention is to furnish it in keep ing with the style of the building. The grounds will be embellished in a way that will recall the old Westover establishment, the shrubbery that will serve being gathered from different sections, and in the requisitioning is a collection of two or three thousand dol lars worth of boxwood plans, some six or eight feet tall, and nobody knows how old, from an old North Carolina colonial home on Cape Fear. The landscaping will be in harmony with the building, the dominant note all the way through the early colonial.” LOCAL WOMAN SEEKS TITLE AS AMERICA’S CHAMPION CANNER. Mrs. B. L.
