Ity has completed the most Intensive 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.

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.
