C., Feb.--Jackson county was the first id the State to over the lop in the Armenian Syrian Relief- Campaign Mr. A. C. Reynolds, County Chairman, was ap pointed by; Dr. Joyner, and tnree days after his' appointment he call ed at State headquarters to tell Dr. Joyner that his county had not only raised its; quota, but had gone far over the top.. ; . Mr. Reynolds said he had no dif ficulty in securing the cash and that all he had to do was . to show the people the telegram from Dr. Joyner appointing him chairman. In that telegram Dr. Joyn r had stressed the needs of the suffering people of Armenia and Syria, and that plea was all that was necessary to arouse the sympathy and open the hearts of the - people of Jackson county. Chairman Reynolds said he did not think it necessary to wait for the drive, which is set for Fet, 21 to 28, but went right out after the money as soon as he was put in command in his county, . and he turned the trick. Dr. Joyner predicts that this relief fund will come equally as re adily in other parts of the State as it was raised in Jackson county. COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION'S TO BE PUSHED Raiei ;h, N. C, Feb. 25-Realizing that if the co-operative home and farm demonstration work of the Agricultural Extension Service is to be the success expected of it, the field workers have come to the con clusion that it is absolute' y essential that the organization of communi- 19iav-:-r.;';:-'': A t the present time there are many community clubs which are being successfully operated in the State, but, as a whole, the entire community is not fully organized for all phases of agriculture ad- vancement. Speaking before the agents last week, Dr. Bradford Knapp pointed out the importance of sucn an or- ganizarion, snowing tne agents rnai it was their duty to serve the great est num ber of people, instead of doing much individual work. This can be done only by efficient organ ization. "Individual worn succeeds for a short while, and is not to be discredited, but the biggest problem lies in the reaching of all the people and this can only be done by thor ough organization. It developed at the conference that community organization could be affected for combating diseases, for raising one variety of corn, for producing one breed of registered hogs, to control plant diseases, to stabilize labor, and many other prob lems which to obtain effective results should be met by a thorough team work on a community basis. After the communities have been organized, it is then an easy matter, or a much simpler matter, to organ- ize, the county. Many of the agents gave their experiences in community organizations of their counties, and showed in every case where it had been of great profit to the section. Ay striking example of this was shown in the co-operative work of Mrs. A. M. Redfearn and Mr. J. W. Cameron, Home and Farm Demon stration Agents of Anson County, whohave organized their entire county on a community, basis. Their principal success was secured in co-operative buying and selling of farm ' products for increasing the form income.

C. Feb. 25 If itfie present plans of the Divison of Home Demonstration work are real ized, North Carolina will hav a well established industry in Jhe home-making of unfermented grape juice within the next four, or five years. Steps looking to the be ginning of this work were taken during the conference last week; at Raleigh, when the Home Demon stration Agent discussed plnns fof present utilization of the wild grapes for making this bottled juice, andjm general, order by Brig, Gen. further to encourage the plantings of the Thomas variety of mascadine grapes, which will begin bearing within three years after being set. r A representative of the National Department of Agriculture, Mr, George Dearing, attended the con ference and gave the results of his several years pf experimental work on the Pender Branch Station, near willard. Mr. Dearing pointed out the ease with which the Thomas grape can be grown, it being adapt ed to any well drained sandy loam soil on whiclr cotton thrives, and fruit having the percentage of sugar which makes the best kind of grape juice for fountain or Jiome use." It was decided, at. the . conference tfimevariety' 6f he rnuaci grape be adopted, and the planting of this encouraged as a project for the women in the community clubs. When these vin yards begin bearing, a standard 4-H brand of muscadine grape juice will be put on the mar ket. It is felt that the success of the v. omen of North Carolina in es tablishing the 4-H brand of canned goods will insure their success in j establishing the the 4-H brand of bottled goods. FAREWELL AT THE RED CROSS On Saturday evening there was a farewell Dartv given at the Red Cross building at the Army Hospital ; to which the public and the entire personnel of the hospital were in vited."

Maintenance fund for tikihg care of State highways and of roads al ready contracted for with the Fed eral Government, $300,000. It will be essential to increase the official facilities and personnel of the Commission in order to take care of this large amount of work and it should have an annual ap- propri itionof at least $75,000. Total $3.416,943.67., What the Stacy Substitute will provide: - Bonds, $2,280,000; estimated li censes from automobiles, trucks, etc.. $525,000. Total $2,805,000.

Leaving a balance to meet Federal Aid and other ex penses incidental thereto, $2,602, 234.
