KIRBY TOWNSHIP FARMERS CLUB
(Continued from page one.)
name of the man who sella it.
One of the most striking things
related by Dr. Knight about this
little country was the fact that
there are 21 State supported
Agricultural Colleges there and
when these students complete
the course they go back to their
little farms and put into practice
what they have learned. They
are also careful picking their
students for these colleges. No
boy is allowed to enter who has
not had at least three years of
practical experience on the farm.
Farming in Denmark is just
as much a business as &ny other
line of industry. There is not a
Danish farmer today who does
not look for expert advice. Dr.
Knight thinks there are too few
farmers in North Carolina who
are willing to take expert advice
about farm problems. We do not
have enough respect for expert
ness. The difference is the Dane
has become educated and respects
knowledge no matter what it is
about. The children in Denmark
go to school six days to the week
for forty weeks. Dr. Knight
thinks agriculture in North Caro
lina will never be put on the
basis it should be put on until
we are educated. Why, he said
there are more automobiles in
North Carolina than there are
books in our libraries. Our agri
culture must go hand in hand
with our school system.
While they are strictly an agri
cultural people, the average farm
being 16 acres in size, they do
not live by bread alone, they are
great lovers of music, art and
literature. A person is not al
lowed to teach school in Denmark
who cannot sing or play simple
compositions on the piano. You
do not go into a home, hardly,
but what every member of the
family can play and sing and
draw. Their walls are literally
lined with drawings both in the
home and in the schools. Every
child in Denmark is taught that
the most important lesson to learn
in Agriculture is cooperation and
Dr. Knight says it is no use for
us to try to build an agricultural
development with an uneducated
citizenship. The Danes learned
their lesson long ago; we have
not learned it yet. We have not
kept pace, we do not read enough.
The Doctor said he saw on the
table in one little farm home in
Denmark more magazines than
there are in some whole counties
in North Carolina. The schools
of Denmark did it. He lamented
the fact that no one taught him
to love to read when he was
growing up.
The Danish Government en
ables thousands of people to buy
their own farms. It works
through the cooperative asso
ciations, the school system, the
agricultural colleges, in any way
the people can be benefited.
Dr. Knight thought the way
we have handled cotton and to
bacco in North Carolina has all
but ruined us. Diversity and
cooperation has been the solution
for adversity in Denmark and
whas it has accomplished for the
Danes it could do for North Caro
lina. They are the gentlest peo
ple in the world, perhaps the
most highly cultivated and most
highly developed. Dr. Knight
said the Dane’s idea of Ameri
cans is that they have a pocket
full of money and no education.
Think of a country one-third the
size of North Carolina having
300 daily newspapers. Besides
all these papers and their num
erous magazines, the Dannish
people borrowed from the pub
lie libraries in Denmark last year
6,500,000 books. “The Danes
learned through adversity the^
necessity for cooperation.’’ said
Dr. Knight, “are we going to be
stricken down, are we going to
wait until destruction and ruin
are staring us in the face to save
our soul?’’
Dr. Knight thought if we had
more farmers club in North Caro
lina like the one he was aidrefs
iog we would not have to fear for
the ultimate outcome. We have
i our church clubs, our political
I clubs and in cities our business
i clubs, but in the country our
farmers have been unwilling to
come together for mutual aid and
the upbuilding of community
progress. He thought that our
bovs would love the farm beauti
ful and would not want to drift
into the city when we had some
thing beautiful on it and he
hoped the movement which has
begun in Kirby Township would
spread over Northampton county
and over North Carolina, until
every rural community in the
State will have just such a club
for no doubt but that it is the
beginning of a new day for rural
conditions in North Carolina, for
the idea of doing things indivi
dually has gone and we must do
them now collectively and co
operatively.
The next meeting of the Kirby
Township Farmers Club will be
held in the school auditorium at
Milwaukee June 25th, at 3:00
o’clock in the afternoon. To ad
dress the club at this time they
have the promise of Mrs, Jane
S. McKimmon, State Home Dem
onstration Agent, probably one
of the most widely known and
talked of women in the South.

Q. J. Stephenson,
Box 141,
Garysburg, N.C.
In a district of sixteen thou
sand voters scattered among a
population of one hundred and
fifty odd thousand, extending
from the mouth of the Roanoke
River opposite Edenton to within
thirty miles of Raleigh, it is phy
sically impossible for any candi
date to come in personal contact
with all the voters, and conse
quently I will not be able to see
but few of the citizens of your
county and ask them to vote for
me for Solicitor. Therefore, I
address this open letter to you
and hope that you will considf r
same a personal appeal to YOU
for YOUR support and influence,
and I will also gratefully thank
you to speak a word to your
neighbors in my behalf.
I have spent mv entire life of
forty years within one mile of
Northampton and for eighteen
years I have been appearing in
the courts of your county. My
record is an open book to you—
you know me well—and I sin
cerely hope that I have so cor-
ducted myself, both as a lawyer
and citizen, as to have gained
your confidence and support. I
call your attention to the fact
that outside of my own county,
the people who are nearest to me
and who have had the best
chance to observe me as a la w
yer and as a citizen are strong
for me: the people of Colerain,
Powellsville. Aulander, Wood
land, Potecasi, Milwaukee. Con
way. New Town, Pendleton and
Severn, surrounding my entire
county, are practically solid f( r
me and I refer you to them, any
of them, should you yet be in
doubt.
I am going to win if the peo
ple of Northampton will stand
by me, but I will be defeated un
less I get a substantial majority
in your county. I have bean
over the counties of Halifax,
Warren and Vance, and find that
my strength there is about as
much as any one could expect
with a candidate on that side of
the river and amply sufficient to
nominate me, provided I receive
a reasonably solid vote in the
counties of Northampton and
Bertie. Therefore, you have
the power to either nominate or
defeat me. I am at your mercy.
I appeal to you to support me.
Sincerely,
Stanley Winbobne.
