JD-’ K'* -lar -I w*wr» The growing of grapes is one of the oldest agricultural enterprises in the world. The fruit of the vine has been profitably marketed for thou sands of years. Grapes play a very large part in America’s agriculture today. Last year 77,858 cars of grapes were consumed in the United States with California shipping 63,- 549 cars or approximate 85 per cent. The six Southeastern states of the United States produced less than 5- jOths of one per cent of America’s grape crop. The fact that California has been so eminently successful in grape growing, coupled with the fact that there was no large grape growing territory in the Southeast, caused :'.o" ^ FINE AS CREAM' LAUNCH CAMPAIGN!

It is not believed the Midland road will be taken up this fall as Mr. Cox says it would interfere too much with the winter traffic between the towns, but he anticipates that in the spring it will be one of the first jobs under taken. At the meeting which was held at the Tyson House at Carthage, where an; unusually good dinner was pro vided, Miss Mead Seawell had brought in a basket of the finest ap ples seen in Moore county in an age, and distributed them among the members. They were grown on her father’s place close by the town. Another interesting display was a collection of rayon and other goods from the Hemp silk mills and a group of furniture made by Frank Blue from wood supplied by Colin Spencer. The furniture included cedar pieces, antiques in cedar, gum and other woods, and attracted much attention. Mr. Blue is producing a large amount of this furniture and finds a keen de mand for it. The committee having in charge the better farming work in the coun ty reported that prizes would be awarded, after the crops are made and final weights and quality ex amined by the proper agents. The club expects to have the Rae- ford club as guests week after next, and has thfe audacity to propose a game of base ball on that occasion. Hon. 0.

Mrs. Rounsevelle, of Pinehurst, took fourth place in the ladies’ event with a total score of 1,672 points. "This is a creditable showing considering the inclement weather and would have won all but two of the National tournaments dur ing the last ten years. Mrs. Rounse velle also won first place in the flight shoot with a shot of 251 yards and 24 inches, less than four yards short of the world’s record for women. A remarkable score was made by Scott Robertson, of Greensboro, with a total score of 2,118 points with which he captured fifth place among the men. This is the highest score that was ever made by a new comer at the National tournament with the exception of last year, when Stanley Spencer, the National champion, came from California to win the ti tle. Robertson had been shooting only three months and is just get ting into his stride, while Spencer’s score was made after more than a year of intensive training. Everyone ook to Robertson to give Spencer and in particular. Dr. Paul W. Crouch, the present champion, a stiff battle next year. Among the tro phies that Robertson won were the 3uff arrow, the 40-yard range medal and a prize given by the famous archery authority. Dr. Robert P. El mer. Mrs. Garland Alderman, of High Point, with less than a month’s prac tice surpirsed her friends by win ning the Nield Improvement trophey in appreciation of her excellent shoo-t ing. Miss Mary Alice Patterson and Miss Frances Bowles, both of Pine hurst, also made creditable scores. Stephen A. Douglas captured third place in the juniors, after a hotly contested struggle with Bob Hub bard, of High Point fourth, and Dan Lewis, of Pinehurst, sixth. Many of the juniors, all under sixteen years of age, made better scores than a number of the men participating in the men’s division. The Carolina Archres were proud of the consistent shooting of Stephen A. Douglas and as he is only 13 and has two more years to participate with the juniors, there is every rea son to hope that he will set tip a new record next year and the year afterward. Other members of the Carolina Archers who participated among the men were James Gooslin, of Greens boro, who was 14th with a score of 1,718 points; Phillip Rounsevelle, of Pinehurst, with a score of 1,690 points, and Harold Rohm, of Pine hurst, 23rd, with a score of 1,548 points. Out of 58 • m*»n at the tournament none of the Carolinians werj below 23rd place, which is an unusual rec ord. A State archery tournament is planned for some time this fall and all interested are requested to cor respond with Phillip Rounsevelle, of Pinehurst, the secretary of the Car olina Archers, for ful detail® of the shoot.
