Week - April 1 - 5 is being celebrated by more than 6,000 New Far mers of America, in 115 Pub lic Schools throughout North Carolina, with State offices at the A. and T. College of North Carolina, as they review the results of their state program for the past year, and make a study of the early founding of the organization. The New Farmers of America is the Na tional Organization of male students who are studying Vocational Agricultural Edu cation in the Public Schools of the south. The North Carolina Asso ciation organized in 1928 un der the name of the New North State Farmers (NNSF) with a state membership of 400 members, was supervised and guided by Professor S. B. Simmons of A. and T. College who took over the job of Teacher Trainer in 1924 after coming here from Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. The first Slate of State offi cers for the Association were L. Hunt, President of Winton, now Assistant Teacher of Vo cational Agricjjlture at the R. L. Vann School in Ahoskie, L. Caldwell, Chapel Hill, Vice President, A. Haywood, Sec retary, Method, J. Miles, Treasurer of Wise and L. Stroud, Reporter, of Chapel HUl. N. F. A. Week is celebrated as a means of keeping alive the philosophy of Doctor Booker T. Washington, that eminent Educator and States man; that practical education of learning to do a job the best you can; doing to learn the most you can; earning to live the best you can; and living to serve the most you can, is the best training that a farm youth can receive today. It Is this idea of practical philoso phy that has caused the New Farmer Organization in North Carolina to grow from a mem bership of 400 in 1928 to more than 6,000 in 1952. The orga nization, composed of 115 local chapters, uses this time also to report on the results obtained in carrying out the the state program of work, many activities as outlined iii The program is sponsored by the state association for the benefit of its members is a va ried oAe and plays a large part in the type and quality of contestants certified for Na tional honors each year.
