GATHERING
OF FARMERS HEAR
STORY OF COUNTY
(Continued from page oim)
technical side of fanning, but a rec
ognized successful dirt farmer ana
stock raiser, was given rapt attention
as he dealt with the need of organis
ation by farmers.
The outstanding need of all farm
ers in Western North Carolina, Mr.
McKay asserted was more income,
more ready cash. This can not be
obtained by going about farming as
the average mountain farmer has
been doing, lie declared. He pointed
out that to raise corn and sell it at
the prevailing market prices was
nothing short of slow suicide ? but
that if this same corn was marketed
through livetock the value would be
increased more than one-half. Mr. Mc
Kay, who does an extensive dairy
business in Henderson county, de
clared he was getting more than 50
cents per bushel for his corn in this
manner.
A unified system of diversified
farming, together with increased
livestock on each farm was pointed
out as the only salvation of the av
erage farmer. Growing a little of this
and a little of that. Mr. McKay said,
is i..<t diversified farming in its true
sen*:- of the word, but that condi
tio". and markets demand growing
th:r which will sell, of a quality that
will bring the highest price and for
wh'fh an increased demand will be
ma d o by the buyer. To obtain these
results," stress wa^ laid on good seed
as .. necessary pif -requisite. Figures
were cited showing that from fifty to
over one hundred percent higher
price c; tild be obtained for certified
seed when sold as such.
The Five-Ten Program
Bruce Webb, in charge of promo
tion work over the 18 western coun
ties explained the organized move
ment for better farming in Western
Carolina, emphatically declaring that
theie was nothing revolutionary,
nothing new to the plan, other than
taking the best as a goal and keep
ing this in view, use that which is at
hand in the best manner possible to
attain a high standard.
Organization, Mr. Webb pointed
out. is a necessary part of the move
ment. in that the time now is when
the farmer no longer lives to himself.
IK' i.. a part of the community, of the
county, and the section of the state
in which he resides. . Using as an ex
ample for the need of organization,
Air. Webb cited sections which are
s-iiing cream on the co-operative
.plan, were improving their livestock
by purebred sire associations, and oth
er sections that were devoting their
time to raising farm products of a
high standard and marketing them
cooperatively. . !*'4'JP
The speaker referred to the fall of
tL'.'iu when Western North Carolina
passed through g teat financial straits,
lieploririg the fact that numbers of
fanners of this section were com
pelled at that time to sell their poul
try and livestock to obtain ready
cash or, which to operate and pay
taxes. To overcome "the deficit caused
I ? this catastrophe,1 he pointed out as
tho only w/iy now left jwas to improve
that which is on the farm. "It would
be absurd to ask a farmer to sell oij
kill his livestock and poultry at this
time, j :st because they are of the
; cores t class. We niust take what
wo :;avf. improve it sis fast and best

..-.i, Mr. Webb displayed a chart
uvvir.tr the gain in milk production
I irf h scrub cow that was first given
bcttei; ieed, sired by a purebred bull,
in it tne offspring in turn sired ">7 *
purebied bull, and on through several
generations until perfection was ob
tained. This chart is reproduced on
the Farm Page of The News and i?
self explanatory.
Higher standard of products was
held up as a big factor in increasing
farm income. There is no slow sale
for the best, on any market, Mr.
Webb asserted. He cited figures
showing that $14,000,000 worth of
vanned stuff was shipped into West
ern North Carolina last year from
jutside sources. Farm and truck
crops of the exact kind grown here,
riicugh of a higher standard, amount
ing to several* million dollars were
shipped into the central sections of
this mountain region. Not because
there was not enough here to supply
the demand, but for the simple
reason that it was not of a quality
that would sell on the markets. Most
of these products were shipped from
sections where organizations are
maintained such as the 5-10 Im
provement Program calls for.
Glazener SpeaTcs
Julian A. Glazener, chairman of
the agricultural committee, presented
the results of the recent survey made
by the ladies committee, in which was
shown products raised here last year,
purebred livestock and poultry now
.n the county, preferences as to breeds
and a survey made of the business
houses of the county showing the vast
amount of product that were shipped
in from outside sources.
Before going into his report, Mr.
Glazener displayed a bag of apples
that he had purchased in Brevard
on Friday "afternoon, which were
raised in" Transylvania county. Mis
shapen, speckled, different sizes and
rotten ones were all among the dozen
home grown apples displayed. This,
Mr. Glazener asserted, was one of
the chief reasons why home grown
products were not in demand on the
markets ? they were away under the
standard which the ultimate con
sumer desired.
Mr. Glazener went into the de
rails of the 287 reports which were
procured by the survey made recent
ly, dwelling with emphasis on the
tremendous amount of products ship
ped into the county last year that
.ould have been marketed from the
nome farms had the standard and
quality" been on par with that
brought by the merchants and busi
ness men. After reading the sum
marized reports, Mr. Glazener of
fered the objectives which had been
prepared1 by a committee of 25 on
che night previous. These objectives,
which were unanimously adopted by
the large gathering, are reproduced
>n the Farm Page.
