campaign ever waged In the oouuiy
She has visited each of the 67 schools
three times, the people of tach commun
ty having an opportunity of the serv
ices of the Agent for the first time
In the history of the work here. Bis
cuit making for the girls and pastry
for the women were the projects un
dertaken. The final rally day was held
on March 24th with 1000 people pre
sent. In spite of the many days of
ralii, people came In cars, carts, on
train and by boat. The speeches were
Interspersed by songs, stunts and yells
by the Bchools of the county. The
Washington Chamber of Commerce
awarded seven trips to the Girls' An
nual Short Course to the seven girls
having the best biscuit In the county.
McCullom's American Home Diet were
awarded to seven other girls and num.
erous other prises were given. Marie
Paul, a little seven year old girl, won
first prize In Bichland towwnshlp. Ma
rie Is a daughter of a tenant but is
very abltious and at this early age Is
planning to work her way through col
lege and become a teacher, Marie Is
too young to attend the short course,
so Myrtle Day, second prise winner
represents Richland township. Marie
haB put her mone yln the bank to start
her college fund, and will add to this
from her poultry. John Smith, the only
boy in the county to win a prize was
given a cook book and a setting of
Rhode Island eggs. When boys and
girls take the Interest In home and
Improved home conditions that John
and Marie have then our "'John Smith.
Tenant" Problem will be solved.
The Chamber of Commerce gave one
night to a poultry meeting at which
time the Home Agent talked of the Im
portance of poultry work in the coun
ty. The Chamber of Commerce became
responsible for $1000 to lend to beys
and girls who wish to begin the work.
Miss Harry of Bertie County has |
closed her campaign.
The Winsdor paper says ol It:
"Grand Bread Campaign and Rally day '
a great success. County boyB and giris
invade the city; forty four schools re
presented. Saurday marked the clos
ing of Bertie county's first "Campaign
for Better Bread'. And it was a suc
cess from every viewpoint, from at
tendance, from the exhibition of bread,
and from the enthusiasm manifested
by everyone. Everybody seemed to
understand that better bread means
better health, less indigestion and hap
pier homes. '1 herefore, never have we i
seen a flnesr collection or collation ot I
biscuits. There were five hundred bis- I
cuits on exhibition; and after every.!
body who could, had inspected them !
and resisted the temptation of sampl. I
ing, they were carried to the County I
Farm and fed to the inmates and j
prisoners.
"Prior to this 'Rally Day,' Miss Harry j
the efficient and enorgetlc Home De- |
monstration Agent, had conducted a \
contest in every one of the forty-four
schools in the county. The wlnnera.in
each one of these schools were an- 1
nounced last week. This contest de
cided the best biscuit makers in the
respective schools. Then these 'win.
ners'^ In the various schools were pit
ted against one another In a contest
to decide the i>ost biscuits, baking
powder biscuits, and Soda biscuits,
were brought to Winsdor right fresh
from the oven, and the Home Demon
stration Agents from Washington aqd
Edgecombe counties judged the "best
The judging was no easy matter either;
for any biscuit among them would have
been fit for the table of the kings.
However, the decision was made and
we give below the successful contest
ants and the winners of the prizes.
Before the names of the successful
ones were announced, a very Interest
ing program was rendered.
Miss Wallace, Assistant State Agent,
made a most excellent address and
Mr. Maybee, of the Entomology De
partment, and Judge WlnBton also
made speeches.. From all reports the
occassion was most successful In spite
of a steady downpour of rain.
Miss Eliza Knight of Chowan Coun
ty has been busy with her sewing
classes among the girls and nutrition
work with the women. Only a busy
mother realizes just what It means to
have a little child taught to make Its
underwear and plain dresses.
She has taught twenty lessons In
sewing, given three demonstration In
preserve making, and devoted three
meetings to care ot poultry.
MIbs Knight In cooperation with the
Farm Agent Is preparing to wage a
campaign for Eradication of Rats.
Dr. Slhra of the Bureau of Biologi
cal Survey, has spent a day In Chowan
assisting the Agents with preparation
for this campaign.
Miss Knight has organized a night
class at the local cotton mill.
Miss Alice Carter of Craven County
Is working with the poultry cluba. The
Interest Is growlnfby leaps and bounds
Most of the members have constructed
coops and other equipment. Thetsoney
?"* from the sale of poultry and
poultry products on the Curb Market
has increased Interest each month.
The Curb Market occupies Miss Cart
er's time ea?h Batnrdry
The Commissioners have appropriat
ed su.flclent money to build a market
hOUM.
A Junior County Council has bee*
organised la Graven. This Is the third
Jnnjor County Council In the district,
Hertford and Halifax counties hAVlns
orranl7<>d Councils last spring.
A big, feature ot the nwmth was the
two day#' Agricultural Short Course
held at the County Farm' life School.
Three sessions were held each day
erlth too people preaent at each sf?
?ion.
Mini Allen of Hull (ax report! that
the River Road people have arranged
the school room moat attractively. The
woman's Club has taken up the project
of fixing up the school grounds.
Miss Allen is trying to interest the
girls of all township centre schools to
prepare to can soup mixture to use
next wluter in the school ftiuches. Pre
paration (or canning work Is very gen.
eral In all of the clubs. The classifi
cation of (oods is the work of the girls'
club. The lessons are ended with out
door games. The Holllster glrlt,' Club
has made up over forty dollars. This
will be used to get laboratory equip- ]
ment and to finance the expense of a
girl to the Short Course. Miss Allen Is
very proud that the girls' clubs of ten
communities have made money to send
a representative to the Short Course...
It Is Interesting to read o( the ways
the girls are making money to de(ray
the expenses of representatives to the
Girls Short Course. They are selling
candy, peanuts, Ice cream at cross road
stores and the Halifax club plans to
have a stand (or eats at the County
Commencement.
Miss Allen Is taking orders (or hook
ed rugs. The club members are busy
preparing club exhibits to be display
ed at the County Commencement.
The HalKax Woman's Club at the
suggestion of Miss Allen Is preparing
to have the creek that runs through
the town drained and this section of
the town put In more attractive shape
This same club Is making money to buy
curtains (or the school auditorium, and
has Just presented the school with song
books.
The sentiment (or club rooms Is
spreading. Miss Allen says: "The
thing that pleased us the most at
Garner was that the teacher gave us.
an old room in the building to (ix up
our club room. The girls are going to
bring some old chairs and tables from
home and we are going to paint and
enamel them to put in our room. Then
the boys said they would fix us some
shelves (or our equipment and wwe are
going to paint them ' also. The walls
will have to be cleaned and the floor
so that will bring up anotner problem
(or the girls in interior decoration.
They want to make some rag rugs (or
the floor too, and we hope to do that
be(ore long. It has given us a wonder
(ul problem to work with and one that
all the girls seem to be very much
interested in. The teacher said she was
so glad I was going to do It (or she
id want the school to be as good as
any one In the county and to look as
nice."
Miss Myrtle Swindell o( Hertford
County has constituted her work in
nutrition with the girls and plain sew.
ing with the women. Both girls and
women are working on sport hats. The
recreational work has been games, wax
work and pottery.
Miss Swindell has perfected the or.
ganization of a Girls' County Council
which is perhaps the first organization
of its kind in the State. An interesting
feature of it is that some girl gives a
demonstration at each meeting. Miss
Swindell and a committee from the
Woman's Club at Winton served lunch
eon to the Seniors and Faculty of Chow
an College. It was provided by the
young men of the town.
Miss Swindell is putting on a
School and Home Improvement Cam
paign. Her publicity committee is
composed of the ministers and edi
tors of the county. The Winton Club
has put {150 in play ground equip,
ment. This club Is canvassing the
town, collecting books for a library,
which they expect to open. The club
girls at Woodrow have sold sufficient
pencils to purchase them a basket ball
Outfit: This IF their contribution TO"
the school Improvement work. The
Holly Springs Club girls Lave also pur
chased a basket ball outfit. Miss
Swindell Is continuing her work in
nutrition with the girls. They are
making booklets to be displayed at
the County Commencement. After the
nutrition talks or demonstrations,
each girl drafts a hat pattern. Cloth
ing work is being taken up by the
women. This was started by making
dress forms. The women are now
learning to use commercial patterns
and making dresses. Decoration of old
crocks and bottles to carry out the
color scheme of rooms and dyeing of
material for sofa pillows has added
to the interost of the women. Poultry
work is being conducted Jointly by
Miss Swindell and the Farm Agent.
She assisted her people In get.
ting a car of apples to Ahoskle to
sell for $1.35 per bushel. She says
everyone was eager to get them and
they were soon disposed of, having
handled 600 bushels.
Mrs Gordon of Nash County has
continued her county-wide "Biscuit
Campaign" during the month, oft
timea giving two, three or more de.
monstratlons a day, as did the other
agents having a large number of
schools In a county. This too was
done la conjunction with the dlstrl.
button of 250 settings of pure bred
eggs, furnished by the banks, assort
ed and delivered by Mrs. Gordon.
Cooking tough hens with the Pres
sure Cooker and then serving them
aa salad with cooked and mayonnaise
dressings were demonstrations the
Women's Clnbs enjoyed. Mrs. Oordon
has been asked to supervise the menus
(tor the new County Home by tha
County Health Officer. The Bhxrpa
bnrg Woman's Club put lights in the
school after the Board of Education
agreed to pay the light rent. On Sat
urday's Curb market reports $263.00,
