A. very important . meeting was
held m the office of the County Sup
ermtendent of Schools Tuesday,
January 8th. This was a meeting
of the Advisory Board of Agricul
ture of the county. This board con
sists of the chairman of the County
Commissioners, thn x
fo County Schools, the Mayor of the
County Town, the President of the
Commercial Club, and one man ap
pointed from each township, and
the Demonstration Agent.
While there was not a full meet
ing, there were representatives from
the town of Oxford, Fsihing Creek,
Brassfield, Dutchville, Tally Ho and
Salem townships. Mr. E. C. Harris
as chairman presided over the meet
ing and led off with some very val-
..
uauie suggestions. He stated that
he fully realized that to get the best
results from the demonstration
work, and other forms of agricul
tural education, there must be bet
ter support, and encouragement giv
en by the leaders of the countv and
the leaders of each community No
man can touch with a sufficient in
tensity and intimacy a whole county
and get the early results that we
need. Every person who from nat
ural endowerment or business occu
pation has any leadership power
should consider himself drafted in
to the service of his county. Many
opportunities will present themselv
es for throwing out a word that will
help in calling attention to the su
preme importance of imnrovine our

sinful in thetime of peace, becomes
a crime of the worst sort when the
nation is at war. The biggest waste
in Granville county is that of poor
methods of farmering.
Mr. Harris suggested that every
father in Granville county with a'
boy over ten years old be requested
to set aside for this boy one acre of
land to be planted" in food crops.
The proceeds of this acre should be
given to the boy for his own to be
used as a starter of an estate that
he could gradually build on. If he
wants to begin to accumulate a fund
for his future education, no better
ideal could be held before him. A
boy ten years old would have eight
years before him for saving a fund
for a college education. He ought
to be able easily to accumulate
$1,000 in that time and not take
any time from the ordinary work he
is expected to do on the farm. The
immediate service that he would
perform, however, in this acre plan
would be to help win the war
through a greater production of
food.
Many valuable short talks were
made by others present. Dr Morris
skillfully directed this discussion
and led out by questions the various
talkers into giving their experience
and suggestions. W. A. L. Veasey,
Graham Daniel, Jasper Dean, E. A.
Hunt, and C. R. Gordon were pres
ent and made short talks. Mr. Veas
ey couldn't help blurting out in the
meeting a few words on his chief
hobby, education, and especially
agricultural education. He said we
must have better schools, we must
pay our teachers more, we must
teach agricultural in the schools.
It's a rare day when any man can
talk with Mr. Veasey as long as ten
minutes and not be reminded that
better schools are needed and more
money to make them better. He is
thoroughly committed to this idea
and it seems hopeless to try to
chang him.
The interest was intense through
out the meeting, which lasted two
hours. It was thought best to try
to have such meetings in small
groups in niany parts of the county;
in whnnl buildings, at the homes of
the farmers around the long winter
evening fires. It was the sentiment
of the members present that every
person should consider himself a
teacher and at every opportunity
"Talk up" these ideas, as Mr. Har
ris expressed, it.
At the close of the meeting Mr.
Graham Daniel made a nice little
talk on the line of the appreciation
of the better thinking people o the
county of the work accomplished by
Dr. Morris.
Space is too short to enter more
fully into the details of this impor
tant meeting, and attempt to fur
ther describe the valuable thought
and patriotic spirit that .pervaved
the group. Other similar meetings
will be held later.

Molasses Barrels
The usual price of molasses bar
rels ranged anywhere from one dol
lar to one dollar and-a half, but ac
cording to reports one dealer in Ox
ford is selling them at $3.00 each.
He attributs the advance to the
high cost of material and labor, but
some of the barrels have been in
use for several seasons, it is said.
These brands of Fertilizers are made by -Old
Reliable Manufacturers whose reputation
is making the kind that produces results.
