"We bleieve the time has come]

and "that another collision between j

MR. HAGAMAN THIN1
f AGENT WOULD BE /
By SMITH HAGAMAN I
| (County Superintendent of Schools) j
I do not think a farm demonstra-1

ers' troubles; but T do believe a good;
I man associated with, say three, five!
or a dozen good farmers of our]
; county, as an advisory board would ;
in a few years wonderfully improve i
farming, trucking and livestock con
diliohS ir, the county.
The cost, of this would be negligi-!
ble as compared with the benefits
derived therefrbih.
It would cost the county a little
less per month to employ a farm
agent who is well trained, than it is
costing: to furnish a school for fourteen
little colored children per
month. One dozen eggs, at a low
price, for each taxpayer will pay aj
farm demonstration agent for a.
whole year.

Most Mountain Counties
Employ Farm Agents!
John W. Goodman, district agent,r
state agricultural co-operative exten- j
sion work, in congratulating a local S
citizen on the efforts being made for '
the employment of a farm agent for !
Watauga county, adds:
"As a matter of information to!
you, Haywood county made the ap- j
propriatton for an agent last Monday.
Alleghany county will prob-j
ably complete its arrangements fori
one on May 2?S. I do not have it of
fieially yet, but it is my understand-1
1 ing that Yancey county has definite-!
ly decided to put on an agen t in
July. This would leave in the j
mountain section only Mitchell and j
i Trwnsylvania counties, without agents '

tio11. This condition is not only ex- i
isting- in western North Carolina,
but is also true in aU parts of the
state. This is being brought about'
' by just such conditions as you have j
seen existing in Watauga county."
The following paragraph will give
j an idea of what the farm agent is
| doing to aid farmers in Avery counj
ty: "On Monday IK farmers owning
j sheep met-in the agent's office ntVdT
formulated plans for pooling their
j iambs and marketing co-operatively.
A questionnaire was prepared by the
agent and sent to the different sheep
growers for the purpose of determining
how the number of iambs!
that would he ready for the market
on dales that were set by a committee
appointed by the sheep growers."
HALF ACRE OF TOMATOES
YIELDS MORE THAN $600.00
The editor was at;-the home of At
! tovney John II. Bingham, of Sugar
j Grove Sunday afternoon, and a more
pleasant place to visit would be hard
to hnd. Aside from his law practice.
John is quite a farmer, owning as he
dees, one of the most fertile farms
in the county. He told us this little
story, which proves what intensive
farming in Watauga means: 44Two
years ago,-' he said, "I rented to a
man much less than half an acre of
land, to be set in tomatoes, f was to
1
have half the yield. The sales from
that small plot of ground amounted
to more at gathering time than
$625.00ir-aiia^~i?ad enough left to
supply a number of my neighbors.
This year," he said, "I am putting
cut nearly two acres in tomatoes, as
1 consider it one of our best paying
crops." '
His gardens, grains, etc., are
simply luxuriating. He pointed with 1
some degree of pride to a large ap- :
pie tree, four feet in diameter, and '
said to be 125 years old, that raises '
its magnificent head over the road i
near the hospitable home, it being a 1
relict of "Uncle" Reuben who, 3
in years long gone, owned the farm. ^
Tradition says that more than once a
four-horse wagon load of apples ha- 3
been gathered from this tree at (
once. Chickens, pigs, cattle, etc.. '
are also grown on this magnificent i
little estate. Just why a man fixed '
at home like John Bingham is, would 1
fool with the practice iff law, is a 1
mystery to us.
