Cuy More ^xTTljtTi Wor Bonds Macon Women Make Record Under Group Of Leaders In Farm And Home Program By ANNA C. ROWE District Ham* Agent As an example of what members of the North Carolina Federation of Home Demonstration clubs are doing for the war program, Mrs. Florence S. Sherrill, of Franklin, laome agent, points to the excellent rec?rd of rural women in Macon county in producing and conserv ing food. She reports to Ruth Current, in charge of home demonstration work for the StaU College Extension Ser vice, that following the statewide Food Conservation Workshop at Raleigh in early March, six work shops were he-Id by block leaders for each of the three zones in Franklin. At the request of the Ci vilian Service Corps Director, Mrs. Gordon Moore, the home agent helped to plan for the canning of both acid and non-acid vegetables, the dehydrating of fruits and veg etables, and the sulphuring of fruits. So much interest was aroused over dehydrating that the local power company built a dehydrator to be used by the home agent and other leaders in giving dehydrating demonstrations throughout Macon county. Since that time it has been left in communities where groups oi families wer,e interested in de_ hydrating. Full-size stove driers were also used, but the home makers decided that small half-size driers were more practical. Cooperation Excellent All agricultural services in the county cooperated. Sixteen classes in food production, conservation and processing were held in co operation with the vocational agrL cultural teacher. These classics were held in communities where there w,ere no home demonstratiron clubs and included two classes of negro women. A former WPA lunchroom supervisor, a high school home eco nomics instructor, and four home demonstration club women, two of whom were neighborhod leaders, were instructors in the schools. The suggestion for these Conser vation classes came as the result of the county-Tvide workshop and for the first time Macon county was blanketed with food production and conservation demonstrations and information.

Each instructor was given a list of neighborhood leaders of the com. miiniti.es, whom she visited with' a request that the leaders contact all families within the area. The home agent made 14 visits to neighbor hood leaders with the instructors, arid met with five groups to assist with the organization. S?he per sonally gave demonstrations to four clashes: With 16 classes in unorganized communities and 16 home demon stration clubs all functioning, the home agent and the home sup,er_ visor of Farm Security devoted their attention to the oth,er com munities in the county which had not been reached. Thus, all neigh borhoods within tlve county have been given access to the informa tion developed at the county food conservation workshop. Ne\gh borhood Leader Study To check up on this campaign and other work of neighborhood leaders, a study of Macon county farm leadership was made under the supervision of the sociology de_ partment of State college. Under the supervision of the American Red Cross, a course in home nursing was given and 12 rural women from Otto received their certificates in .early May. This class was instructed by Mrs. George K. Patillo, R. N. Thirteen other classes w,ere completed in other parts of the county. "Wartime Family Living", "War time Family Clothing", and "Milk For Better Meals" were some of th,e additional programs which the home demonstration clubs studied this spring and summer. The home demonstration agent has been a v.ery busy person in helping to de velop these programs and she made, for example, 56 visits to 41 different homes in May. Th,e neighborhood leaders have been most active in supporting the work of the 4-H clubs. Membership has shown decided increases in all communities for the young people are anxious to assist in the war program.

This year they can sell all they can produce. As things look now, this condi tion is due to keep up for some time, but we can't count on its lasting forever. Certainly nobody wants a prosperity built on war! So it's high time that everybody con cerned ? and that is everybody ? gave some thought to keeping things running after the war. You're busy, we know. So are we. The important thing right now is seeing that there's enough of everything to go around. But we've been devoting a little atten tion to the problems of the future, too. We feel that the people who have the producing job to do can contribute a lot to the solution of those problems. And we hope that you, too, busy as you are with growing more food than this country's ever pro* duced, will be turning these problems over in your mind. For if America's farmers and manufac turers, working together, can't find a way to keep the richest country on earth producing enough for everybody, and let the producers make a living in the process ? if they can't, why then, who can?
