 Don't keep it for me" In his haste to be gone, Chase jostIed against the hall table and in so doing knocked his specimen bag to the floor.
 It was Obadiah who stopped and picked it up as the botanist shot cut of the door and up the path. The bag had been insecurcIy fas- tened and most of its contents had fallen out.
 With the mothodical habits of a lifetime, Obadiah found dustpan and brush and removed the sol from the floor, He shook his head over the plant, then, securing pan. set 1t in it, first adding some water.

MUCH BUSINESS DONE
AT FARM CONVENTION

Raleigh, Aug. 4.-Governor Gard
ner's farm program was endorsed, a
statewide plan for agricultural de-
velopment adopted and a start made
in promoting the plan for purebred
crop seeds and purebred livestock at
the 9th annual session of the state
farmers convention meeting at State
College, July % to 26.
The work in preparing a state
wide program for agriculture was
said to be the most outstanding piece
of work done by the convention. At
the sectional meetings, the delegates
worked long and hard in studying
the needs of the state and the best
solution of its agricultural problems.
The result of this labor was en-
bodied in series of reports made
on the last day and adopted by sec
tions. These reports will be con-
densed in publication of the agri-
cultural extension service and pub
lished at an early date.
In the resolutions, the farmers
called for further study of rural
taxation, encouraged the work of the
federal farm loan board, endorsed
the county government advisory COM
mission, asked again for further fl
nancial aid in securing an eight
months term for public schools,
recommended better research facili-
ties for agricultural problems, and
called for more respect for law. The
ladies also endorsed the governors
agricultural program and put for
ward Mrs Jane S. ,McKimmon to re-
ce!ve national honor because of her

THE LITTLE LOG SCHOOL
HOUSE HAS DISAPPEARED

The little log schoolhouse has al
most disappeared in North Carolina,
according to the state department of
public instruction, which issues a
statement showing that there were
only 2S houses of this type during
1927-2S, and all of these used by
negro children.
Of this total number 23 were in
Caswell county and one each in Ala
nance, Durham, Halifax, Person and
Vance counties.
The records for 1929 further
show that there were in use through
out the state 500 rural schoolheuses
with brick construction and 1856
with frame construction which with
the 2S log houses, makes grand
total of $3.50 rural schoolhouses in
use during the year.
Five years ago there were 7,130
schoolhouses used by rural children,
424 brick, GAP frame and 64 log.
Thus within five years there has been
erected 472 new brick buildings for
the rural boys and girls, whereas
there has been a net decrease of l.
1856 frame houses.
During the year 1929, 176 new
rural schoolhouses containing 1,079
claSSroomS were erected. These
buildings cost slightly more than
four million dollars, or an average
of $4,000 each. During the pre-
ceding year, more than five million
dollars were spent in erecting 231
new rural schoolhouses, and costing
on an average $4,000 each.
There is tendency, as seen from
these figures, therefore, for log and
frame constructed buildings to dis
appear, and or better and larger
houses constructed of brick to be
erected in their stead.

OIL EXPERTS AT BOWIE

Since finding indications of OIL in

there has been quite biz ot rumor
afloat, but the visit made by real oil
experts has added color to the rumor.
1t is said that the land belonging to
Mr.. L, n. Keller of that section has
been inspected by two experts, one
from Washington, D. c., and the
other from Louisville, KY, WHO re.
port their findings very favorable. in
fact they say they have not seen
better indications anywhere han
found on the lands inspected.
1t seems that the Ashe county ci.i-
zens are becoming very much en-
Unused over the possibilities Of oil
being found in this county, and we'll
they should be, when one thinks of
the wealth to be had from such an
industry as this would develop.
