Lumberton, N.C., May 4 (AP)—More than $1,000 in cash was paid to poultry farmers in Robeson county on the opening day of the local poultry market, reports Miss Flax Andrews, home agent. The market is in charge of James Price, a poultry club boy, and is being received every Saturday from 7 to 12 o’clock. The market is paying cash upon delivery.
E.C. Locklear of Pembroke received over $200 in cash on the opening day.
As a result of these sales, says the home agent, farm women in the county are installing water systems and other conveniences in their homes. Already more than 35 water systems have been planned, and Miss Andrews expects more than 50 to be installed during the summer.
