KIR8T JOB IS T?0
lilVE AT HOME—
The Nq. 1 Job of North Carolina
farm families In 1943 Is, there
fore, tp live at home. The Gov-
ernm9nt wants all farm families
to bp self-sufficient this year. If
the/major food needs of the 30
million farm people of the
-tlon ere removed from the
elves of retail stores, ft will re
lease a victory-boosting avalanche
of essential foods to other out
lets. Most farm families can pro
duce the greater pert of their own
food without reducing the output |
of marketable products.
The Extension Service is here
to help and to work with farm
people, not only to live-at-home
but to produce oil crops, meat,
poultry and dairy products so vi
tally needed now to teed mem
bers of our armed forces and war
workers in cities and towns.
Our Extension methods are
time-tried and have proven effec
tive. We are a service agency for
all of North Carolina’s cltlxens,
white end Negro, who live on and
from the land. We interpret the
Results of scientific research as
^developed by the Agricultural Ex
periment Station, the North Caro
lina State College, and the United
States Department of Agriculture.
We carry these results to ’the
farmer, Ms wife, his son and
daughter in a simplified way so
that the facts may prove of prac
tical value.
Demonstrations are conducted
at strategic places—in homes,
barns, fields, pastures, poultry
yards, school houses, and wher
ever the greatest number of peo
ple may be reached at the small
est co.st.

TRAINED—
New methods are tested under
field conditions: trends in the ag
ricultural life of the Nation are
explained at meetings and group
gatherings; local leaders are de
veloped to exploit new and pro
gressive ideas; women are encour
aged to band together in Home
Demonstration Clubs to learn
tested methods of cookery, food
conservation, child care, nutri
tion, and rural home improve
ment; hoys and girls are formed
into 4-H Clubs to make the best
better; dairymen learn the value
of keeping records on their
cows: swine growers demonstrate
the value of sanitation, and all the
newer methods of handling live
stock and poultry are demonstrat
ed almost every day. In a thous
and ways, the rural life of North
Carolina is affected.
This is done largely through a
system of county agents in each
county. The farm agent Is gen
erally accepted as the leader of
the agricultural services in his
county. He not only leads in the
Extension effort, but he ho.s a re
sponsibility also in the variou.s
projects which the Federal De
partment of Agriculture and other
agencies. State and National, are
conducting with the rural people.
The farm agent has organized
county agricultural councils to
serve as clearing houses of the
various agencies having agricul
tural and home economics repre-
serltative in the counties. There
are more than 29,000 rural neigh
borhood leaders, selected by theiri
neighbors within walking dis
tance, to carry the message of
better farming to the last house
up the road in every little coun
try neighborhood. This is said by
impartial observers to be the
greatest feat of democracy in .the
United States today, and ■ North
Carolina led the way.
The home agents have proven
their mettle time and time again
and ere known as leaders In con
serving food and in all the other
rural home projects.
HA\T3 PRACTICAL
TRAINING—
These county home and farm
agents must work at a multitude
of tasks, going from one to ano
ther In bewildering rapidity and
shift of scene. The shift may be
from cows to sick soils, from
anning beans to the care ot the
;ck, from balanced food supplies
the repair of a tractor.
The agents are trained In'
.ctical solution of these tai4
lems. But they can’t kno^
