COOPERATIVE MARKETING
SAID TO HAVE COME TO STAY

Raleigh.-That cooperative mark
citing in North Carolina is a success
and that it has come to stay in many
lines already and to continue to grow
in its present fields and is others, is
the opinion expressed by George R.
Ross, chief of the North Carolina
Division of Markets, who recently
returned to his office here after at
tending meeting of the Eastern
Carolina Produce Exchange at Mount
Olive.
Mr.. Ross says that even the most
pessimistic of doubters would be
come supporters of cooperative
marketing if they had witnessed the
same sights he did at the meetings,
Which was called for the purpose
of having the members sign another
three years contract of three years
expiring this year.
According to Mr.. Ross the East
ern Carolina Produce Exchange,
operating in the community of
Calypso and Mount Olive, met with
a loss during its first year of exist
ence. This loss or deficit, he says,
was due to some expense that was
not necessary the latter year which
most good and successful enter
prises experienced in their infancy
but profit by later. There was sur
plus of several thousand dollars in
1924, the third year of their con-
tract and date of expiration, the
chief explained and this was distri-
buted to the members.
"When it was announced that the
contract of the members with the
exchange had expired and it was
time to sign for another three years
asserts Mr.. Ross, 'every member
present showed his faith in the flu.
ture of the cooperative marketing
plan by signing another three yeal
contract and carrying away with hin
a blank form on which to enlist 6
new member.
81 feel that this is a sign that the
cooperative plan is working well il
North Carolina and that the farmers
themselves are beginning to realize
that cooperative marketing is theil
real salvation of demands for theil
crops of increased volume.

PARENT-TEACHERS ASSO-
CIATION

The meeting Of the Parent-Tea-
chers Association on Friday Deem
Der 5, was unique indeed. 1t was
held at the same hour when DR.. Al
eXander of Columbia University was
speaking in the auditorium of the
Training School. We had never en-
tered into such competition before.
Furthermore our principal speaker
was attracted away by the distin-
guished educator from New York.
Notwithstanding this fact and the
rainy afternoon the meeting wasgood
and we'll attended.
On short notice the third grade
had assumed the responsibility OF
entertainment. With the exception
of a we'll prepared drill their entire
program consisted of impersonation
in history stories learned in theil
regular class work: Columbus, Ponce
de Leon, Sir Walter Raleigh, Virgin
ia Dare, John Smith, Pocahontas
Miles Standish. This school has Ger.
tainly solved the problem of history
teaching in the third grade.

This meeting was the cap stone of a
series of weekly meetings held at
different homes throughout the mis-

GRAPE VINES NEED PRUNING
SAYS COUNTY AGENT STEELE

Now is the time to prune your
grape vines. 1t should certainly be
done either during December or jan
uary as late pruning causes bleeding
and lack of vitality to the vine.
There are several systems of prun-
ing and trimming bunch grapes. The
important factors are, first, to grow
and train the prominent part of the
vine according to the mehod that is
beinf ollowed and second, to prune
so as to renew the fruit bearing wood
each year. The fruit is normally born
on shoots of the current year aris-
ing from wood of the previous year
Therefore pruning consists:
/. Of leaving
a. Strong healthy canes arising
from points conforming to the sys-
tenn of training.
b. Other parts for the production
of wood for the next year, (short
spurs on the arms from which the
fruiting wood may be grown.)
c. Spurs and canes for replacing
and shortening arms that need re-
moving and correcting.
2. Of cutting out
a. All new wood not needed for
above.
b. All dead diseased and weak
wood.
c. Suckers and sprouts from ar
ound the crown.

County Agent.

MANY VISITORS
TRAINING SCHOOL
Basket Ball Season Now in Full
Swing-Other Items from the
School and Town.
(James M. DoWnum)

Rev. NJ. B. Woosley, pastor of the
Methodist church, attended chapel at
the Training School one day the past
week and conducted devotional SER
vices.
Something rather unusual for this
season of the year, thunder shower
is on during the writing of this with
some display of electricity and of
wind.
An interesting and closely con-
tested basket ball game was played
Friday night between the Training
School team and the one from Gross
more, which after first one and then
the other being ahead, resulted in a
score of 26 to 2S in favor of Cross
more.
The Training School was glad to
welcome some distinguished visitors
the past week. They were DR.. H #.
Hunter President of Cullowhee Nor
NAL and Industrial School; DR.. Thos
Alexander, formerly ten years Pro-
fessor in Peabody College but now
Professor in Columbia University,
and Dr. James E. Hillman, Director
of Certification in our State. They
all came in on Thursday afternoon
and DR.. Hunter remained until Fri
day afternoon and made most en-
tertaining talk at chapel exercises
DR.. Alexander was given a specia
period in the afternoon and spoke
most helpfully on the preparation o:
teachers for their work. DR.. Hillmal
remained until Sunday morning ant
on Saturday at chapel gave the au
dience rather minute detailed de
scription of the State Board of Ed
ucation and it's work.
All of these distinguished men seem
ed deeply interested in the working
cf Tie school.
