COUNTY AGENT
W. D. SMITH'S
column
The need for a general policy with
regard to our land use is obvious. The
prevention of erosion, the retirement
of submarginal land, and the fram
ing of production-control contracts
to permit the best farm practices are
problems for both our immediate
and our future consideration.
If our future contracts are to.be
so framed, more local administra
tion by the farmers on the spot who
know their counties at first hand
must obviously be developed. We
have a long way to go. Our efforts
during the past three years are only
a crude start toward the building
of the kind of commonwealth to
which we aspire.
The farmer of today must think his
way through. He must see his field
and the fields of his neighbor in
his county-control associations first
as part of a regional agriculture,
then as part of a national and inter
national agriculture, and then as
part of an economic society that in
cludes both the city and the farm.
The farmer has chosen the dem
ocratic approach to his problems, and
I think he means to see that the dem
ocratic process is maintained and
Strengthened as the foundation of our
institutions. This democratic pro
cess is partly one of self-education
as to the facts, so as to bring fitness
to make decisions. It is a spiritual
and mental process. The progress
of the las: few years is a heartening
indication that the task which the
farmers have assumed, gigantic
though it may be, is still not too
big for them. I have faith that they
will go forward along the path they
have chosen for themselves.
Are we going to continue to allow
our soils to wash away in Haywood
county? Terraces and cover crops
will save our crop lands.
W. 1). SMITH,
County Agent.
It is very gratifying that so many
people in Haywood county are taking
an interest in dairying. This interest
has been increasing for several
months. .Many times within the last
few days the County Agent has been
stopped by some farmers asking
some Question about dairying. In
our meetings this week men and wom
en have come out to find out an an
swer to some of their problems. At
Hemphill the meeting was made up
of men and women and boys. This is
all the more encouraging because a
very heavy downpour of rain occur
red just at the hour of the meeting.
Mr. Farnham, dairy specialist, re
ported that the dairy program in this
county has grown more rapidly and
solidly than any where else in the
state, and that several creameries,
although older than this one, are not
doing as large volume of business as
our creamery. Two fundamental
things are facing us that we should
Rive attention to at once. These are:
high producing cows, in order to
be getting more income from the
cream we sell; and produce animals
that the lower south needs. Cows
or heifers that we raise here are lar
ger than those raised in the lower
south, and therefore, our animals are
very popular, with -dairymen.
The older dairymen already know
that it takes silage to produce cheap
milk during the winter months, and
some of our producers know this is
true in producing cheap beef. Are
you planning to build a silo this
summer If you need help in the
construction or location call on the
county agent and he will.be glad to
help you. Do you have a silage
cutter in your community? If you
do not you should be seeing the
county agent in order that, he may
be able to help you in the securing
of a cufter.
animals. We have just recently sent
out a questionaire to most of our
.producers. It is very gratifying the
.number of cards which have been
.returned to the county agent's office
Many of these cards are requesting
help to secure registered animals. If
.you have not returned your card do
so at once, as we want to work out
ur plans early in the summer.
. Our plans continue t g forward
for our fair this fall. Are you get
ting one or more exhibits lined up?
,We are going to do our part to make
a real fair, and we are counting on
having a contribution from everyone.
However, we know there will be some
,who will sit back and knock every
effort that is made. This is true of
everything that is worthwhile that
is attempted. We hope that some of
the knockers in this county will some
time before it is too late try woik
ing with someone else to put over
.something that is worth while.
. The County Agent has in his office
a number of blue prints for building
lawn chairs. Anyone wanting to build
a chair can secure one of the blue
prints by asking for it, as long as
the supply lasts.

Continuing a practice inaugurated
in 1933 The Institute of Government
presents herewith, for the conven
ience of local officials and the press,
a summary of local laws affecting
Haywood county, its cities, towns,
subdivisions and citizens, many gen
eral laws also affect the county, but
space does not permit them to be
summarized here. A summary of
those general, state-wide laws will be
found in the May-June issue of Pop
ular Government, The Institutes
magazine. In this summary for the
county, only local laws, and general
laws from which the ccunty or some

We have been talking about dairy
cattle. Everything which can be
piven as reasons for better dairy
animsils can also be given as reasons
for better beef cattle. We do not
have any registered cattle in Hay-
woou county and . not manv more
We are long on scrub keep them in Haywood county,

, Bean.s continue to come to the
cannery too old and shucky. We
hope that our people soon learn how
to bring in number one quality beans.
The quality brought in this last week
was a great improvement over any
week before. Haywood county can
produce quality products but we must
know when to gather these products
in order to get the top price.
If you can secure good tomato
plants it is not too late to set them
this week. They will grow and ma
ture very rapidly since we are get
ting plenty of moisture. The can
nery is going to be short of toma
toes this fall, so why not set some
more plants for homo use and the
cannery? A few more bushels of
good bean seed are out at the can
ncry. We hope that every bit of
these seed will be called for and
planted this week. We expect to
make our own planting this week.
Back up our co-operative by produc
ing the beans and tomatoes you can
for it. Co-operation will make this
enterprise a great help to Haywood
county. Continue to spray your
beans because if they are neglected
the beetle will soon destroy the crop.
When the vines stop producing then
they should be plowed under to pre
vent the eggsi and larvae of the
beetle from hatching out and carry
ing oyer to the next season or next
crop. See your dealer and see if
you can not get ROTONONE dust to
use after the beans set on the vines.
This-dust should be secured for not
more than 15 cents per pound.
How many 4-H boys are giving
their calves extra feed and attention
right now? W'e are counting on
every boy to push his calf or pig
