crease in the number of departments
will be made in the state during the
coming year.
Watauga County should be congiatulated
upon the maintenance of
two departments of Vocational Home
Economics in 'bp R?v?ne and Cove
Creek high schools.
The departments in this county
have been made possible largelj
through the combined efforts of tin
County Commissioners, the Count}
Board of Education, and the loca:
school committeemen. These groups
arc to be highly commended on tht
fine attitude they have taken toward
this special phase of training so important
in our schools today
High school Home Economics, federally
aided, for schools in which
there is an interest in an enriched
course of home economics through o
more closely related home and community
program. The home life of
the student is closely related to the
school work through supervised home
practice and home projects. During
a two-year course each student is expected
to carry out seven projects in
the several phases of homemaking. In
addition to high school classes the
teacher of such a course organizes
adult groups interesetd in related
subjects of homemaking to the.-extent
to which interest demands snd
time! permits.
In the two county departments of
Vocational Home Economics, Miss
Dougherty will continue her fine program
of training in the Cove Creek
High School and Mrs Brown, formerly
a teacher of Home Economics
in the Forsyth County School system.
has been secured as teacher for
the department in the Boone High
School. With the opening of school
it is expected that there will he a
large enrollment in these departments.

SOIL-CONSERVING CROP SEED
SHOULD BE SAVED
North Carolina farmers are being i
urged to save seed of soil-conserving l
crops to plant or sell next year.
Not only has the drought reduced I
the supply of seed said Dean I. O. v
Schaub. of State College, but indications
are that there will be a big
lemand for soil-conserving crop seed
in 1937.
In most areas, he said, farmers
*re growing as large quantities of __
-oughage as possible for livestock V
eed.
Th^v hiVA nTcn th*>lr in
:erest in the purchase of seed sup-'
>lies of grasses and legumes that will I
ic encouraged for 1937 under thef
toil-improvement program.
In view of this, the seed supply] **
)f these crops for spring planting is;
snusuallv important.
Where it is practicable for farm-; ~
rs to harvest the seed of soil-coil-'
serving crops, they may be able to
upply their own needs and help sup>ly
their neighbors
This will save them the expense of
laving to buy seed, and will provide h
1 source of income for those who!
lave a surplus of seed for selling t;
hose who do have to buy seed next j
ipring, the dean emphasized.
