Early, of K napp Memorial , Committee, Comes to Asheville to C onfer with Local Agri cultural Enthusiasts Movement Means Great Things For This Section. That Buncombe county has made a wonderful record during tne past tew years, lii the matter of farm improve ments and general yield of products, especially corn and grasses. Is the opinion of Thomas A. Early of the Knapp Memorial committee, with headquarters In Washington who is spending several days In Asheville In the interest of farm developments. Yesterday Mr. Early was in con ference with E D. Weaver, local agent of the Farm Co-operative Demonstra tion Work for the government, sev eral members of the agricultural com mittee of the board of trade, secre tary N. Buckner and others. Buncombe county has, according to reports received yesterday fey Mr, Early, an estimated crop of 60,000 acres of as fine corn as can be found In most any section of the south. Mr. Early is quite enthusiastic over local conditions and his visit to Asheville at this time may result in big things, from an agricultural standpoint, lor the county and section. 11 The United States department of agriculture now has 1,200 experienced men in the field, serving as farm dem onstrators and they are reaching something like 250,000 people, through the boys' corn clubs and the demonstrations. Mr. Weaver Is one of these men. He has about 76 demonstrators, and 36 boys In Bun combe county listed In his corn club record, which In Itself Is considered by experts to be remarkable. Prize Corn Field. One of the prize corn crops of tke county. is said to be that of T. E. Brown, who will harvest from 125 to 150 ibushels to the single acre. Many other corn planters of the county will make equally as good showings. In the grass tine, it !s of interest In this connection to note that last year, C. H Shope, of Wea vervllle, made 10,404 pounds of grass off 7-8 Of an acre of land. All of these facts and figures are on file In the department of agriculture at Washington, and are proving to be wonderful advertisement for the western section of North Carolina, Buncombe county and Asheville In particular. Mr. Weaver told Mr. TSarly yester day that the estimated crop of 60,000 acres of corn In Buncombe county will yield at least four bushels to the acre more this year than, It did four years ago, when actual farm demon stration work was commenced, and selling at eighty cents per bushel this brings $10,00C rr.ore of real cash money to the coutitj than was brought here previously. Mr. Early sale yesterday in dis cussing the local situation i Liwnies Uio Situation. "Splendid progress is being made In farm improvements in Buncombe county. I am Indeed glad to note that the Asheville board of trade has taken up this matter. In an active way, and through its committee on farming and general agricultural in terests. Is materially aiding and en couraging the farmers in the endeav ors. The time has come when this work has become fully appreciated throughout the south, but we will con tinue our educational campaigns in definitely. ' "In Asheville, for instance, you have thousands of tourists coming here every year, fcoth summer and winter, and then your permanent population is growing, all of which means that the farmer wiil have to produce more foodstuffs, and they axe certainly do ing so." At the Informal conference held yesterday, the fact was brought out that just a comparatively few years ago foodstuffs to the value of 5, 000,000 were shipped Into North Car olina annually, for consumption! while since the farm demonstration work has taken an active hand In the state the total value of foodstuffs Import ed here has been reduced to 136,000, 000 per year and wen greater reduc tions are predicted next year The department of agriculture at Wash ington is aiding materially In every step taken towards the advancement of the interests of the farms of this and other states. Meaning of Movement. In discussing the work of the ieaman A. Kjiass school tvn4 iarzn. Special Agent Early said yesterday: "Or. Seaman A. Knapp, the founder of the Farm Demonstration work In the south, of the boys' corn clubs and of the girls' canning clubs, died April 1, llll. His work has grown until there are now In the south one thousand agents demonstrating better methods of farming and homemak- ing to fully a hundred thousand farmers, seventy-five thousand boys, and twenty-five thousand girls. "Immediately following Dr. Knapp's death numerous suggestions arose throughout the south In regard to a memorial In his honor. It was ar gued that we are prompt to build manuments and pay tribute to the heroes of war, and why not to hero In the arts of peace t Dr. Knapp's works and teachings mads It well nigh Impossible to erect a mon ument of cold marble or dead bronie. It was felt that there must be living memorial, A Knapp Memorial committee was organised with rep resentatives from every southern state. "After careful deliberation It was decided to place this memorial at Nashville in connection with George Peabody college for teachers as a part of the Seaman A. Knapp school of country life, which had Just been en dowed with $260,000 by the general education board, In May, 1912 The Knapp Memorial 'Committee decided that the most fitting and - effective memorial they could create would re sult from this union of effort, It was determined, accordingly, to erect the Knapp building on the campus of George Peabody college for teachers and to purchase and equip the Knapp farm within a suitable distance of NoslwlJle, The committee has under taken to raise $150,000 throughout the south for the building and for the farm. "Clarence Poe of Raleigh, Whom you all know, is secretary of the com mittee, while David C, Barrow, of Athens, Oa., Is the president. "Here Is a vital fuct: Farm life In the south must become more pro ductive and economically profitable as well as more attractive and hu manely Interesting. , "At the bottom of every sort of trouble, and every so-called problem in the south, Is the money question, "The nower to Increase the profits of one's toll is an Indispensable means to the great end of lappy and right eous living. It requires money to Insure healthful and wholesome sur roundings, to train the cook or to educate the housewife, 4 costs more t0 have washing done in a clean place than a dirty place. It takes money to save the babies and the children from Improper food, and from the germs of typhoid or pneumonia car ried to them from poorly equipped kltohens and unsanitary cooking. It costs pains and money to safeguard the water and milk supply. "And It requires money to put healthful schoolhoueet In place of the too frequent death traps now in use. Overcrowded schoolrooms are oheaip er than the roomy, well Ufhted, well ventilated ones Better teachers and better teaching are our oorurtant clamor, but they, too, cost more mon ey. The course of study In the coun try schools are too theoretical, ab stract, arid remote from the needs of country life. The schools that count must not only harre highly trained and well paid teachers, but they must have the equipment of laboratories, Softool gardens, cooking and sewing rooms, tools for manual and Industrial train ing. All of these things are demand ed for efficient training, and connot be had without money. Money becomes, therefore, In the providence of Ood, a sacred thing with which to minister to th physical and spiritual wants of the human race. "The Seaman A. Knapp Farm and School should deliberately set for It self the task of helping the present and future dwellers In the country to make more money, to become more efficient producers, more economic citizens. It should teach the farmer by theory, by experiment, by demon stration, or by any other possible way, how to avail himself of all the moat practicable and profitable forme of the world's knowledge for the sake of hanoi a&d, nor useful living LENOIR SCHOOLS OPEN !
