Planters thruout the south, as well as many other states look to this sec tion for seed that is pure and can be depended upon for, . as Mr. Zeno Moore stated at the meeting, "if had been able to supply the demand made upon .this county this year for cotton seed I could have shipped to the cotton growing states 30 train. loads of seed, and at our own price." The plans of the organization are to start with cotton, and have the farmers of the county produce pure bred seed that will have the hallmark of being disease proof, then, as the demand become more urgent fortseed of other crops, to cultivate and sell a purebred product whether it be corn peanuts or any other farm seed pro.. duct. This will have more to do in putting Edgecombe in the forefront of counties of North Carolina than any other single thing. , Farmers who attended the meeting were very enthusiastic over the re sults and all took a lively interest in the selection of a name for the or ganization, knowing that it would have ' to be a trade-name. Finally, after siftinf out half a dozen other suggested names, "The Edgecombe Pedigreed Seed Growers Association" was accepted as the most distinctive name and as such the organization will thenceforth be known. , By-laws were then passed and the first officers electe as follows : Pres ident, Mr. L.

HEALTH NEWS. We are constantly hearing com. plaints about the sanitary Wagon. Now, I do not wish to say that: it is an ideal thing to have to contend with but I do want to tell you the thing which is ideal and a thing which the town has put in reach of practic ally every home in the city. I refer simply to the sanitary sewer. Now, let's every one think about this. Why not eliminate this undesirable thing at its source? Connect with the sew er. I'm sure every person in Tarboro wants to see it the nicest town in the state. Why not come on, fall in line and don't wait to be notified that the time has come. It has been here a long time. The town has done what it promised.- It has laid the sewer system and now it's up to you. You may say the privy is all right for the country, but we are no longer the country; we are a growing eity. Please help it to develop a good, clean and sanitary one. Don't neg lect to connect your, residence with the sewer. C. L. OUTLAND, M.D., - " Health Officer. -Mrs. E. L.
