continues Mr. Wilcox. "There
arc so many things we can secure it
we can only have the co-operation
of the people of the county. I wish
all Watauga county to realize thai
ours is their Chamber of Commerce,
and that it needs the individual support
of all.
"Now. let's consider a few things
that could be had. By all means
we should secure the cold storage
plant, which is now possible through
the facilities of the REA. Farmers
should readily see the importance
of this project, which is the forerunner
of a first-class produce market
for Watauga county.
"The- prospects for the establishment
of a cannery by a nationallyknown
organization are very good
at this time.
Hosiery Mill Envisioned
"We have the prospect of securing
a silk hosiery mill, and we hope
the plans being made will materialize.
We are in urgent need of a
recreational center tor the benefit
f our young people so that our future
leaders may enjoy clean sports
and entertainment. If we keep our
youth busy with worthwhile activities,
the nation will be blessed with
more competent leaders in the days
to come.

Rev. J. C. Canipc tind Wade
E. Brown have been appointed to
work on this project and we hope
there will bo some developments in
the near future. We have invested
large sums in other tilings; how

betterment of our people?"
Laboratory Research
Q 4
* aimers
By JOHN W. HARRELSON
(Dean of Administration. North
Carolina State College)
Agricultural research is the end
less probing and searching in laboratories
antl on field plots for new
fasts and improved knowledge
about the mysteries of plant and
animal life, the soil, insects, diseases
and related subjects affecting
life on the farm.
Farming has moved forward on
the basis established by the facts
found. Oftentimes one is prone to
ridicule the scientist who spend his
life among his pots, in his greenhouse,
or on his field plots, making

notes, studying conditions, observing
differences; but, it is such men
and women who supply fundamental
information which may be adopted
by the practical farmer to make improvements
in his methods. For instance
if the life history of the cattle
tever tick had not been discovered
and made public, it were impossible
to have a livestock indus
try in eastern Carolina or other
parts of the lower south. In a simii
lar way have facts been discovered
: about how plants feed and the food
they need, how to breed improved
varities of plants and other facts
necessary to meet new conditions of
a changing rural life.
Every cent put into research has
been returned a thousand fold and
it is this force which is constantly
allowing agriculture to more forward
enriching the lives of North
Carolina farm families because it
shows them how to do the job a little
better than it has .been done before.
