VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE WILL
HAVE LARGE EXHIBIT IN
CROPS BUILDING.
Raleigh.
Featured by a large exhibit which
occupied one whole wing of the crops
building and judging contests in which
600 boys from sixty counties and rep
resenting seventy schools will take
part, the program of the vocational
agricultural schools at the State Fair
will be the most extensive and inter
esting of any program that the farm
boys and teachers have put on within
the past four years. "This exhibit
should be of unusual interest this year
as North Carolina was rated last year
by the Federal Board of Vocational
Education for the type of work done
in the agricultural high schools,” says
Roy H. Thomas, State Supervisor of
Agricultural Education.
Teachers and pupils from eighty-five
vocational agricultural departments
throughout ths State will centribute to
the exhibit which will occupy space
with a frontage of one hundred feet.
This will be one of the largest dis
plays put on by any one organization
at the fair. The exhibit is designed
to convey to the fair visitors the
types of work being done by the agri
cultural high school of the Slate.
The display will be under the genera!
supervision of Agricultural Education
assisted by J. k! Coggin, A. L. Teach
ey, L. E. Cook. W. L. Mayer and L. O.
Armstrong all of whom are connected
with the Department of Vocational
Education. ■
About one-third of the space will be
devoted to a display of the farm shop
work being done by the farm boys at
school an don their home farms. A
feature of this -booth will be a model
Tffifha'T'lSmi shop. ™t1us shop will be
significant due to -the fact that over
1,500 agricultural high school boys
have provided farm shops on their
homo farms as a part of their work
in agriculture. North Carolina led the
United States last year in the number
of boys who installed these shops on
their home farms. The farm shop
booth will be in charge of E. N. Meek
ins and I,. E. Raper, of the Cary high
school.
The remaining part pf the space will
be composed of three sections. The
first section will show something of
the kind and type of instruction given
by the agricultural schools to over
3,000 adult farmers last year. J. M.
Hfanley, of Salemburg high school, will
have supervision of this section. The
second section, in charge of H. W.
Bullard, of Orrurn high school, will
typify some of the work of the schools
in giving instruction in agriculture to
farm boys who had dropped out of
school but who arranged to attend
short courses for a few months during
the winter. The third section will be,
composed of the work of all day pupils,
school, in charge.
Moyle Leaving Revenue Department
Revenue Commissioner R. A. Dough
ton declined to give to the press the
contents o't Assistant Commsissioner
W. S. Moyle’s letter of resignation
which takes effect November 1 unless
the commissioner should wist it earlie.
The Daily News story of several
weeks ago in which Mr. Hoyle was
represented as a possible candidate
for revenue commissioner against Mr.
Doughton brought from the deputy
commissioner a statement that he
would not run against Mr. Doughton
so long as the two were in'the same
ofTice. Mr. Moye did not say it ex
actly that way but let it be known
that there was no divided alliegance in
his office. The Daily News was fully
informed of a probable resignation^
but Mr. Moye got it recorded and sei
off to Wilmington before anything
further was learned about it.
Mr. Doughton regards the letter con
fidential, but there is a copy passing
for the genuine. In this letter Mr
Moye makes no reference to the cut
in salary, indeed it is altogether im
; probable that he yet knows the find
ings of the salary and wage commis
i sion. Not only is there a practise of
1 economy as to the salary for an assist
ant; the revenue commissioner does
not contemplate any substitute for Mr.
Mojje who is now seeking to collecl
$1,700 income tax from the Coast Line
which thinks it is paying too much.
Mr. Moye left the service several
‘months during the primary campaign
and again in the genera lelection to
work for the governor in the first and
for the party In the second referen
dum. The complaint registered bj
him in his letter Is manifold. Field
deputies, he says, have never been ad
vised that he is in charge of them, he
has had no office, no desk and nc
i stenographer. ___
