Hnrournfiiifi \olf In a friendly but plant Christmas greeting to the country newspaper people in the several counties, F H Jeter, of the State College ex tension Service, sounds an encouraging note for agriculture in the Old Noi ih State-And while we in eastern North Carolina ale not a bit jubi lant over the vear's work, Mr Jeter offers some thing for us to think about and act upon as a new year approaches The Extension Service man writes As T look hack over the past vnar in the agl n culluic of Ihls- Stale, several notable develop ments iir better farming can be seen Oui fai mers have made excellent progress in dairying; there are more beef cutlte sw ine growing has rceivcd new lmprtusr poulti v pioduitmn c irr creasing and there ex a.decided improvement in? the growth of food feed and soil improving crops.

Cotton produced bountifully 111 the piedmont and less well in the coastal plain, yet our farm ers showed definitely that they wrll bring hack cotton as ah important crop 111 the State We had our greatest enrollment in the 4-H clubs, with something like 50,000 rural youth now making the best better and furnishing lead ership in our rural communities The women went into the business of improv ing their homes and gave serious study to all questions of food, clothing, balanced diets and home management , Take it all 111 all, l'J.'iO has been a year of ac complishment on North Carolina farms. And to you and your paper must go a meas ure of credit for all this. You have carried in formative articles telling the latest news in ex tension and research. You have interpreted for | our reading public the best information avail able here at the center of the State's education al facilities in agriculture. You have also told the story of successful men and women in your local committees. Certainly this has helped and I thank vou for it. Weie it not for this fine cooperation on your part, I doubt that our farmers could ever be come fully acquainted with the facts, rulings and news which they need to know so as to keep paee witn the fast moving events of pres. ent day farm life. We have worked together for another 12 months in a constructive effort and not only do I thank you on behalf of all of us here at the college but J. presume In speak also for the ru ral people who are your readers. At the same time. 1 wish to extend you our best "w ishes for a happy holiday season and all good luck for 1940.

"Why don't boys and girls of today learn like they used to learn i" asked a citizen a few days agu. Our old time academies were farrmns for turning out brilliant hoys and girls who real ly went places. Hut, we must remember that only those who wanted to learn and were de termined to learn rapidly went to those tiki time academies. Often they were grown men and women going to school on borrowed mon ey ,money they knew they would have to pay back themselves. They were their for bus inesses. Prof (i (' Hamilton used to tell About the Rev. Joel S. Snyder, walking from Monroe to Unionvitle anil carrying his clothes on ms back when lie entered Union Institute. He rrlated many other interesting stories of the hardships hoys and girls had to undergo in order to at tend school at all Rev Clarence Little tells how he drove a mule and buggy apd attended Marshville high school hack in the days before busses were provided, although he lived 7 1-2 miles from Marshville. For three years he made the round trip of Hi miles every jjchool day, the last year driving a model T Ford. He figures that he drove about 7.2011 miles from 1921 to 1925 to at tend high school. Perhaps one reason many of our boys and girls of- today^dtt not apply themselves as they did years ago is that they have such good ad vantages they do not appreciate them. It is a peculiar quirk of nature that things hard to get are more appreciated. raw suffer from Colds? For i|uirk relief from cold a)iup-1 touiit take 666.
