AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS.
iMr. w. S. Cobb Delighted With
What He Saw at May School
in Raleigh-Knows Value of
Study of Agriculture.

tt3lei1h News and Observer. 2ith.
Taking a deep interest IN ag
sricultural education and in the
welfare of the public schools,
there was in the city yesterday
as one of the delegates with the
advisory com'n,ttee ot the Farm
,ers' Union harr IN conference
wit a the State Department, MIR.
w. S. CobD, of Robson, the
president Of the Farmers Union
of R0heson county and secretary
of the State Educational Com
nitLee of the Union.
Mr. Cobb was one of the visi-
tors az the May School of agri-
culture at the A. & M. College
Yesterday m Jrning, and speaking
Of TINS later in the day, he said:
Il was delighted with what |
saw and heard at the May School.
A great work is being done there
and it will prove Of benefit to the
State. Taking the two weeks
course in agriculture | saw
,twenty-seven young ladies, and
I was 80 impressed that | told
theB that we wanted them in
RobeSon county-and that if they
SELF their names | would promise
to secure positions for them in
our schools. The truth is that
our teachers must learn to teach
agriculture in the public schools
and If they do not they must
give way to those who can. The
county superintendent of schools
of Robson has tola the teachers
that they must learn to teach
agriculture or they cannot teach
in the schools of Robson. He
will give them time to learn, but
they must learn. The law now
requires that agriculture be
taught in the public schools.
Mr.. Cobb knows the value of
the study of agriculture. He is
a leader in the truck industry in
Robeson county ard has made a
great success. Speaking Of what
kobeson county has done he said:
Last year we raised 60, 900 bales
of cotton in Robson by the use
of muscle. We want to use brains
with the muscle and dirt and
make it 10000 bales. That is
what | believe will come with
education in agriculture.
What Mr.. Cobb has done and
rs doing in Robson county is an
inspiration. Day before yester
day he shipped to New York
and Philadelphia carload o1
beans and peas. For the peas
he is getting $3.50 a basket, ant
for the beans 81 and $2.5 bas
i<et. Between the rows Of tn
peas and beans he has planted
cotton, and so he is making tw
crops a year on the same land
He is next to began shipping pc
tatoes and says that the crop
are fine and that next week tn
