being attended by many thousands
ol Indiana farm men and women.
This gave the North Carolina group
opportunity to participate in and
enjoy special programs and activ
ities which ordinarily would not
l,ave been available.
Wednesday morning, after break
fast in the university's Union
Building Cafeteria, the local wo
men attended a frozen foods pro
gram, a feature of the agricultural
conference.
Of special interest to the wo
men was a demonstration showing
I he cutting of broilers for freo
,i,fi and storage in individual pieces
separately in triple-loin paper io
keep from having to wait for an
nil ire chicken to thaw when ready
to cook.
Mrs. Welch Singleton (Loin was
so pleased with the idea that she
plans to use the method for prepar
ing her Summer broilers for the
freezer.

li.'idio Program over
Voice of Purdue.
Miss Mary Cornwell, Haywood
liunie agent, told about the organi
zation of her stale's agricultural
extension service. Miss Mary M-'d-ford,
extension secretary in tin
Waynesville office, discussed I lie
county's community development
program and Mrs. Singleton told
what home demonstrtaion woi ';
means to her as a homemakor. She
also gave Waynesville and West
ern North Carolina the type of
Chamber of Commerce build-up lo
Mood the area with Indiana tour
ists. While the women learned belter
methods for preparing and freez
ing foods, the men visited the Pur
due university swine farm and the
university dairy research farm.
The pastures program featured
comparison of ladino clover, alfal
fa, and a ladino-alfalfa combina
tion for grazing hogs. Results of a
six-weeks test showed that ladino
alone is ahead of alfalfa in rale
of gain and in economy of gain.
Dr. G. O. Mott, head of research
work in pasture, pointed out dur
ing the dairy discussion thai Dr.
.lames Hilton, director of the agri
cultural experiment station at Ra
leigh, was in charge of dairy pro
duction at Purdue when the dairv
barns now in use were constructed.
A number of the farmers, who
were especially interested in lior.s.
observed that they saw a lot uieie
of the swine that afternoon that
they had on a farm they visited
the previous night. Bus ' (rouble
had delayed the tour so that it was
dark before they reached the Con
ner Prairie Farm, Hamilton Coun
ty, to see examples of four inhied
lines of hogs.
It was here that D. J. iDoc No
land's headache began.
Tillman Bubcnzer, manager of
the Conner Prairie Farm, gave the
farmers a pointed lesson in f arm
economy. He gave statistics .-how-
1 ing the large amount of money lie
had saved by grinding ordinary
corn cobs and using them as hog ,
j feed. I
It was reported that Mr. Noland

lost by throwing corn cobs Into

(The tea was strictly for women,

A visit to Tippecanoe County,
Ind . farms that afternoon brought
more response from the men than
anything they had seen since the
fancy Calumet race horses in Ken
tucky. They came back bubbling with
i.-ilW like -a hunch of women fresh
from a. Fall fashion show. They had
liked it because, as Julo Nobnd
said, "these were small farms on
our own level".
They visited farms where the
owners had worked for what they
had. They talked with farmers who
knew hard work and who had con
tronled and successfully solved
problems similar lo those Haywood
men si ill lace. They saw a chal
