Olive, North Carolina T At Home Conway, North Carolina, Mr.'T. E. Browne Speaks to Klrby farmers Club at Pendleton Mr. T. E. Browne, State Di rector of Vocational Education, made a strong appeal for a more satisfying and bountiful country life in his address to the Kirby Farmers Club last Friday night at Pendleton "The farmers around here know bow to grow cotton and peanuts as well as any other sec tion in North Carolina, we have been too much concerned over growing cotton and peanuts to improve our farm honae3 in beauty and farm conveniences," Mr. Browne said. "Farmers in this section make more cotton and peanuts in order to make mora money to buy more laud in ordar to make more cot ton and pearuts." In this many neglect the opportunity to im prove their living conditions. The farm home is made a shelter in which merely to eat and sleep. "The key to a fuller, more sat isfying country life is found in education and cooperation," stat ed Mr. Browne. Quoting Dr Knapp the speaker said that in the educated person we have a trained immagination with which' to visualize the possibilities of improvement. "In cooperation we have the Drinciple that put Denmark among the leading ba con producers of the world." "If your Southern cooperatives fall down the fault can not be laid at the door of the coopera tive principle, but in mismanage ment." Mr. Browne showed great in terest in the activities of the Kirby Club. He stated tbibe organization here was "practically uniaue in North Carolina, both in its organization and purposes, and should be an excellent in strument in solving farm prob lems collectively, Mr. Browne discussed for sev eral minutes the results of the recent survey which showed that the conditions in the township compared favorably with Iowa in the percentage of purebred cows, hogs and chickens. A part of his address was given over to urging the improvement of the home grounds with grass and native shrubbery. In our woods, stated Mr. Browne, we have a great abundance of native shrubbery with which to keep the yards green and attractive the year round. The attendance was around two hundred and fifty. During the following months a number of other prominent speakers will be invited to address the club. By H. G. Wharton, Instructor in Agriculture, Conway, N. C.
