HemPd County Herald PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY Viaaon ft Parker J. ROY PARKER Editor J AS. a VINSON... Manager SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year $1.60 Six Months.. .76 Three Months .40 ADVERTISING RATES: Very reasonable and made known on request Entered as second-class matter Feb ruary 25th. 1910, at the post office at Ahoskie, N. C., under the Act of March 3rd. 1879. Dune ury niuaauics sic me uiucj of the day. Both the National Congress and many state legislative bodies are hitting old booze every time an opportunity affords. Although there is apparent an antagonistic sentiment to a bond issue for Ahoskie, yet we refuse to harbor thoughts of defeat for such a measure should the voters of Ahoskie have an opportun ity to vote yes or no. The Board of Trade stands squarely behind a bond issue for waterworks and sewerage, and at the mass mating held in their rooms last Friday night th? entire meeting arose in unison when the proposition of voting bonds for this improvement was brought for ward. We call the attention of our readers to the announcement of the Livestock Exposition, which will be held in Wilmington during the month of March. We purpose car rying a full program of this meet -\ mg in a subsequent edition. As we have said before, we repeat that were the people of our county and section pay more attention to better stock of all kinds rather that har boring large quantities of scrubs of the worst type, this section would soon become famous as a stock rais ing cquntry. We have an abundant supply of woodlands, excellent pas turage lands, and natural streams, as sWamps, bogs, and lowlands, gnd were these to be properly fenced in and attention directed to a higher grade of stock, ours would truly be a land of plenty. We today publish the bill introdu ced by our Representative, Mr. Winborne, providing for the creation of a County Treasurer and. putting the Sheriff on a salary basis, the salary being placed at twelve hundred dollars per annum. In the same column we give publicity to a letter direct ed to the HERALD, but intended for publication, stating Mr. Win borne's personal views toward such a change. Although, personally, opposed to the| change, Mr. Win borne, as the spokesman and repre sentative of the voters of the Coun ty, has done just what was the ex pressed will of the Mass Meeting held in Winton last August. Be lieving it to be an unwise change, the bill has been so drawn as to leave the power in the hands of the County Commissioners whether the change shall be made or not. The > ? proposed system is now in use in many counties in the . State and each year there are those who make this change. Some have tried it and gone back to the other sys tem, and still others like' the change. The same thing can be said about the system now in vogue in Hert ford County. At least there are two sides and the question is a de batable one. Notice. I trill Ctrtliit 1 I* tk< Hiptritr (Mrt. ?ertf?r( Csaatj J liffii I.

Mr. Smal) Endorses Move For Demonrtration Agents n Latter to the Herald, Coogreaa- ' men Small Urfes County Commii aiooera to Appropiate Money for tho Employment of County De momtration Ajents I read with much interest in a ecent issue the article on Vocation .1 Education. This is a most im lortant subject. As a writer upon he subject recently expressed it, ur public schools must be "hitched o life". In other words the cur iculum and the work of the teacb r must be more nearly directed Dward the children for success in ctual life. In this connection may I direct j Mention to the Agricultural Ex snsion Work now being conducted jintly by the State and the Federal lepartments of Agriculture, iinong the activities embraced in his work are the employment of a bunty Demonstration Agent for he farmers, and a Home Demon tration Agent for the girls and a fives on the farms. Hertford | '.ounty is almost exclusively agri ultural. The dominant industry oncerns the soil and its products, lore than 85 per cent of the popu ition of Hertford County are either irectly or indirectly dependent pen the soil for their livelihood, in entelligent and trained County lemonstration Agent would dis harge the duties of an agricultural sader. He would bring informa ion about better methods, more in elligent treatment of the soil, and he cultivation of crope, the adop ion of labor saving implements, he selection of better seed, and the importance of growing more and letter stock. A large number of ounties in the State are employing ounty Demonstration Agents, and rhere they have secured the right ort of a man, they have found this xtension work beneficial and proflt .ble. I might cite the counties of 'asquotank, Beaufort, Martin, Vashington and Pitt. Such an ' gent can be secured if the Board if County Commissioners will ap iropiate $600. per year, when an qual amount will be codtributed >y the Federal and State Depart ments of Agriculture. The farmers tay the tax and they can make no iner investment of an equal amount >f money and in addition they can hus secure an equal contribution. Likewise Hertford County should imploy a Home Demonstration Igent. This means the employment f a trained consecrated woman vho loves rural life and loves other vomen. Her work will be among he homes. She will organize the firls into canning clubs and teach hem how to can fruits and vegeta >les on the farm, which otherwise " night go to waste, and enable the i rirls to become independent bread vinners. This agent would also irganize the wives into clubs, teach ng them how to prepare wholesome ood and how to beautiry and make he home and surroundings more ittractive. This Home Demonstra> ion Agent can also be secured with he cooperation of the County and he Department of Agriculture. Ihe home is the center from which adiates the very best that is in >ur lives, and any investment which vill make the home more profitable * ind attractive and happy is worth } .11 it cost. Many Counties in the itate have provided themselves vith Home Demonstration Agents, might mention in the First Dis rict the Counties of Pasquotak, 'howan and Beaufort. Why should lot Hertford enroll itself among he progressive counties of the itate in this respect. It is up to he intelligence and the cooperative pirit of the citizens of the County, am sure the Board of County Com lissioners will make the necessary ? ppropiations for both of these ac- > ivities whenever they are sure it p rill have the approval of their cit- a sens. fi Respectfully, Jno.
