COUNTY FARM PEOPLE
AT MEETING; WARNED
OF PROGRAM CURTAIL
County farm officials from Hali
fax and Northampton counties at
tended a two-day conference at
Raleigh on Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week. They were W.
O. Davis, F. W. Reams, and Lydia
M. Deyton (assistant Agent) from
Halifax County; E. L. Norton, Mrs.
Gertrude Finch, H. G. Snipes, and
Miss Clara Robertson from North
ampton.
Leading men in the State Agri
cultural Department discussed va
rious problems with the 54 agents
and assistants from 21 counties
from northeastern North Carolina.
Both Director Schaub and As
sistant Director Goodman told the
agents not to plan too much defi
nite work in their counties for
1941 in anticipation of calls for
special defense activities. Good
man recommended that definite
work be planned for only 170 to 190
of the 290 working days in 1941.
In another significant word to the
agents, Goodman said that "we can
do only so much, but we will do all
we can. Remember, there are 24,
000 school teachers in North Caro
lina to serve 400,000 children, and
we have only 284 farm and home
agents, and assistants to reach
more than 300,000 farm families."
