Miss Aman and I were very
pleased with the 4-H exhibits
•t the County Fair. The 4-H’ers
and community leaders did a
fine job with the booths. The
Advance 4-H Club, the first 4-H
Club to ever win the grand
champion award, deserves spe
cial praise. Mr. and Mrs. Carl
ton Perry and Dick. Lowe are
the adult leaders doing a won
derful job in this community,
not only with faith booths, but
ate' helping the 4-H’ers in their
club in many ways.
The Oak Grove 4-H Communi
ty, Club won the blue ribbon
award in the Senior Youth Di
vision.with an excellent exhibit
On water safety. This club has
been Very interested'in promot
ing water safety and is doing a
good service to their communi
ty. Mr. arid Mrs. Marvin Evans
and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Nixon
deserve a lot of the credit for
leading the boys and girls in
this community.
I was very pleased to learn
that Leon Evans, Oak Grove and
Chowan High School 4-H’er, has
been picked the State 4-H for
estry project winner,. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Ev
ans. Leon’s selection was based
on his long-time 4-H forestry
project record submitted for
state competition October 1. He
has been very active in this pro
ject and in many other 4-H ac
tivities the eight years .he has
been in the 4-H Club. Leon
virill attend the National 4-H
Club Congress in Chicago, No
vember 27-December 1. Jt is a
great honor to be nicked a state
winner and 4-H Club Congress
if an experience he will always
remember.
An interesting fact was
brought to my attention when
Leon’s record was announced
the state winner. He is the
fifth grandson of Mrs. Z. T.
Evans to win state honors. Oth
er grandsons include Wilbur
Harrell, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lester Harrell, and Aubrey, j
Sherwood and Zackie Harrell, I
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert
Harrell. I think Effie’*
deserves a little praise, too. 1

Families Operate 95 Percent j
Os The Farms In United States
Is the family farm vanishing?
‘‘No!’* says True D. Morse,
| Under Secretary of Agriculture.
“Over 95 percent of all farms
are family-operated—as high a
proportion as 20 or 20 years
ago,” said Morse, in a speech
at the recent annual meeting
of the Southeastern Community
Development Associations in
Athens, Ga.
Morse says that with modern
equipment farms are operated
even more as family units—
there are now fewer sharecrop
pers and less use of employed
labor.
And Morse believes that farms
will continue to be family-op
erated.
“It is highly desirable that
even more families live in the
country” he says, “But this
country living must be accom
panied by the opportunity to
have adequate incomes.”
Morse points out that south
ern farm families have average
incomes of about half those of
farm families elsewhere in the
nation.
However, the situation is un
der successful attack with the
Rural Development Program,
Morse says. ,
Three “pilot counties” in
North Carolina have Rural De
velopment Programs in action.
They are Anson, Bertie and Wa
tauga.
‘The Rural Development Pro
gram is helping to speed up the
change to more prosperous rural
areas,” he says.
Rural Development is design
ed to boost industrial and busi
ness development in rural areas
and small towns, in order to
provide jobs for folks who can’t
make a decent living on the
farm. I
“Community development pro
grams have helped pioneer the
way to the broad economic
Rural Development Program,”!
Morse says. “Community de
velopment programs are in many'
respects rural development pro
grams.” |
Morse praised the achieve
ments of community and area
development groups in North
Carolina. He said that a ten- j
year report from one organiza
boy or girl must have parent
interest and help. Alb of us
need a little encouragement from
time to time, and it is the boys
and girls that get this encour
agement and help when needed |
from their parents that go all
the way to becoming better citi-1
zens. '
