Fayetteville, Nov. 14 (AP)—An order for 18,850 pounds of pyrotol was made by farmers of Cumberland County during the past week, reports N.B. Stevens, county agent. A small amount of various government explosives had been ordered and used in Cumberland County in the past, but this is the first full carload to be obtained co-operatively, Mr. Stevens says.
He also reports that members of the Goodwin Woman’s Club made up a co-operative order for 14 bags of fish meal, which will be used in making a home-mixed dry mash for their hens. He states that the farmers in the county are now giving more intelligent attention to the proper feeding of poultry for higher egg production.
From the front page of the Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, Nov. 14, 1925. Cooperative Extension county agents often put together cooperative orders for citizens, which helped keep prices down.
