D. S. Weaver Says
Farms Mechanized
By Necessity
LUMBERTON
Several
thou-
sand farmers viewed the huge dis
play and demonstration of farm
tractor machinery staged here
Wednesday by six farm implement
dealers in Lumberton. The show,
staged on the site of the old Lum
berton airport, included more
than 75 tractors with a complete
assortment of attachments rang
ing from discs to cotton- pickers.
David S. Weaver, assistant di
rector of the State College Exten
sion Service, remarked that
the show reminded him of
the sort of thing that used to
be staged in the mid-west 15 or
20 years ago when farm mechani
zation was getting its start there.
He said that at that time a me
chanical farming demonsration in
Carolina would have been ignored
because the tractor was considered
a rich man’s toy, but that Caro
lina and southern farmers are now
becoming efficiency conscious. He
piedicted that this show, unique
to Robeson County now, would
become commonplace and that j
