Friday/December 17, 1927 COUNTY AGENTS REVIEW WORK 130 Farm and Home Agents At Meeting in Raleigh This Week The progress made in agricultural extension work during the year 1927 •was reviewed and plans made for the coming year by the 130 farm and home agents who attended the conference and short course at State College, in Raleigh this w^c. The agents are spending the entire week in refreshing themselves with the latest facts found about scientific farming and home making. The af ternoons were spent on attendance at classes and demonstrations, while tha morning hours were occupied with lec tures, speeches, and conference discus sions. Attention was given to live- stock and field crops, poultry and hor. ticulture, plant disease, and insect « pests, farm organization and better methods of serving the agricultural population of North Carolina. The evening hours were left open for social diversion, which included gatherings of the men and women at various affairs given in their honor. Thfre were a number of dinner par ties, a Christmas tree, and evenings devoted to gmes and other diversions. The agents went to their, work each morning at 8:45 o'clock and remained on duty until five. Some of the out standing agricultural leaders of North Carolina and of the Nation were on the program during the week. The "United States Department of Agricul ture was represented with some of its best known scientists while the, fac ulty of State College was also drawn upon for some of the lecturers. Miss Maud Wallace, assistant State home demonstration agent, had. charge of the program for the women, and James M. Gray, assistant director of extension, was in charge of the farm agents. I. O. Schaub, of the School of Agriculture, presided at all the joint conferences. Despite the intensive program of work, the agents stated that it was one of the most profitable conferences that they had ever held.

The to tal of taxes collected after allowing for refunds was slightly more than $100,000,000, collected from users of nearly 4,000,000,000 glalons of gaso line. The four States that did nontax gasoline—lllinois, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey—are estimated to have consumed 947,000.000 gallons, bringing the total gasoline consump tion used for motor vehicles in the first six months to nearly 5.000,000,000 gal ons. New Jersey and Illinois went out of the taxless column when they im posed a 2-cent tax effective July 1 and August 1, respectively. California, using more than 450,000,- 000 gallons, had the largest gasoline tax receipts, more than $9,000,000, all of which went to State highways and local road funds. Tlie other States with incomes of more than $5,000,000 were: Ohio, ■ more than $7,500,000; Pennsylvania, more than $6,000,000; and Texas, Florida, and' Michigan.
