been completed by A. W. Sweeton
agent of the Windham County Farm
Bureau, and it shows that there are
approximately $4,000 young trees in
the county between the ages of two

Commissioner of Education M. B.
Hillegas is having trouble in an eff
fort to secure teachers. It is more
particularly agricultural and COM
mercial teachers. A few days ago he
had hired one to go to the junior high
school in Greensboro. The man was
on his way when he received a tele-
gram that he could have $4,000 to go
to another state. He stopped en- route,
sent a message to Mr.. Hillegas that
he was going elsewhere, and did not
complete the trip. 1t is very difficult
to secure these teachers, the states
practically bidding for the men.
