Col vard, for two years agriculture Instruc tor and farm manager at Brevard Col lege would be given the post of sup erintendent of the Mountain Test Farm at Swannanoa, effective July 1. Mr. Colvard, one of the most popu lar members of the faculty since open ing of the college In Brevard, is re garded as being highly qualified for the post. He Is a native of Ashe coun ty, and receive^ his bachelor of science degree from Berea College, Berea, Ky. Following three years of work In dairy and creamery at Berea, Mr. Col vard came to Brevard whore he re mained for two years, and took active part in agricultural and livestock pro motion at the college and in Transyl vania county.

In announcing the appointment of Mr. Colvard. Commissioner of Agricul ture W. Kerr Scott, stated that the new superintendent was highly quali fied both In his training and in his later experience, and that he felt the department was fortunate in securing the services of such a practical man as | Mr. Colvard.

Considerable furore has been raised by varied Interests In the Asheville area since the announcement of dis missal of Mr. Clapp has been made, and with the two Asheville dallies tak ing the lead, effort Is being made to have Mr. Clapp retained at the test farm. There Is no fight on Dean Col vard, It Is set out in all the arguments which have been mado against the change, but the contention is based on the grounds that Superintendent Clapp is being given a raw deal. Mr. Col vard's reputation and standing In the agriculture field, and especially In ani mal husbandry, is above reproach from anyone. It Is pofnted out by those who are opposing the change. No statement has been made for publication by Dean Colvard. It 1M known that he was offered a high posi tion at Brevard College, prior to the time the announcement of his superin tendency at the test farm was made from Raleigh, and people here would welcome the young man Into this com munity should he decide not to take the place at Swannanoa.
