DEMONSTRATION WORK.
legislature Will be Asked to
Empower County Commission
ers to Make Appropriation -
Farmers Union to Raise Mon
ey by Private Subscription.

As mentioned in Monday y'sRob-
esonian, a committee from the
Farmers Union appeared before
the board of county commission
ers on that day and asked for an
appropriation for farm demon
stration work for the county.
President w. S. Cobb introduced
to the commissioners Mr.. R. C..
Hudson, of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, who
is in charge of farm demonstra-
ton work in this State. who ex-
blamed that the Department of
Agriculture would appropriate
the sum of $500 for the work if
the county would appropriate a
like amount, the plan being for
the Agricultural Department to
employ an expert who should in
struct some practical man of the
county, these two to go about
over the county instructing farm
ers in best methods of farming,
etc. Mr.. Hudson stated that
wherever the plan has been used
it has met with great success.
yields being increased and cost
of production being decreased.
The commissioners decided that
they have no authority to make
an appropriation for the work,
but they heartily favor the plan
and the next Legislature will be
asked to give them the power t(
make such an appropriation. Ir
the meantime, the Farmers Un
ion will raise money for the worl
this year by private subscription
A committee from the Farm
ers' Union also asked the count,
board of education to provide fo
an office assistant for County Su
perintendent Poole in order tina
he may visit the schools of tn
county more frequently, and tn
board appropriated S125 for tn
employment of an Office assistan
for five months during eac

Worms Attack Cotton-Is 1t The
Boil Weevil?

DR.. R B. Beckwith of Lum-
berton found Tuesday in his
field near the county home a cot
ton boil that was full of worms.
Part of the stalk was withered
and on this part of the stalk
there was only this one boil. From
the descriptions given in news
papers within the past few days.
these worms are the same kind
that have been found in cotton
bolls in Arson county recently.
The question Of absorbing inter-
est is whether these worms are
boil weevils. It is devoutly to be
! hoped that they are not.
MIR. Wesley Kirby. who lives
IL miles west of Lumberton on
the road to Pembroke, came into
The Robesonian office this morn
ing, after the above was put in
type, with some cotton bolls that
had Deen ruined by striped worms
about the size Of worms usually
found at the end of ears Of corn
They are entirely different iron

bolls brought in by Dr.. Beckwi5h

Now he bent his thoughts upon how
best to effect the rapprochement
Should he write Emma. expressing
his contrition and begging her forgive

an interview with her? If he could see
her he believed he would have little
trouble In persuading her But, coun-
seled by her hateful mother, who al
ways had despised him. she might re-
fuse to see him. Perhaps the best way
would be to approach her through
some one else. The only person he
knew of who by any possibility could
act as intermediary was Jimsy Smith,
the general utility man.
Requisitioning Jimsy's services did
not appeal to him. He had long been
jealous of his prosperity and Of the
fact that he had once been a suitor for
Emma's hand, although jealousy on
