WINTER SCHOOLS RATEPSUCCESS Farm Experts Believe Coun ;ty, Has Been . Helped by. Practical Demonstration?.- The winter schools which have been held in the county during the last three days have been a big success, .in spite of the inclement weather,-according to C. E. Miller, farm demonstration agent. Representatives of the state agricultur al department were here assisting in giving instructions in the several phas es of rural life being considered at the schools. v ' The period of instruction will b clos ed Friday afternoon and night 'with "special meetings at Paw Creek, Mat thews, Newells, Derita and Hopewell. The main sessions of the schools have been held simultaneously at Dixie, Huntersville and Dixie. v At 11 o'clock Friday there were to be meetings at Paw Creek and Matthews, where experts of the agricultural de partment were to deliver talks to farm ers on some phase of farm life. At 2 o'clock similar meetings were to be held at Newells and Derita and at 8 o'clock Friday night there will be a meeting at Hopewell. ' .'In spite of the rain, which has in terfered with the course of instruction to a considerable extent, I think the course has been a great success," said J. A. Arey, dairy expert of the state agricultural department. "There has been an unusually keen interest in the meetings where dairy problems were to be discussed and the feeding and caring for cattle was a part of the program. I attributed much of this spirit to the Mecklenburg v-operative Jersey Breed ers' Association, which has now been in effect for some years and is one of the ' most useful organization I know of. It has almost changed' the attitude of the public toward" the dairying industry and' cattle-breeding .in this ,county, I have known conditions in . this county for a good while, and I believe there is no county in the state, where there is more intelligent and wide-spread inter est in dairy matters and dairy cattle bcerding. With this fine organization that you have in this county I believe, the interest will go on increasing from ' time to time." I "There is no way to restore fertility! to soils or to increase fertility in soils except to follow nature's way," said W. F. Pate, soils expert of the state agricultural department. "When- soils become depleted, you have got to Jmild them up again by following nature's method' of restoring humus and the oth er qualities needful for fertility. The planting of legumes for both winter and summer seasons is the . first requisite. I have found the people very responsive in this county to he suggestions offered on this subject and I think there will be results from the course of instruction given. - -...... "The building up of soils is the first requisite in successful farming ai of enjoyable and pleasant life on the farm. If th fertility-is becoming depleted ih- steaa of building up the farm : is . be ing made a worse, instead of a better place to live and no activity looking to increasing the value of life on the farm can be more important than that of building up the soils." E. H. Raney, farm machinery expert, gave demonstrations at Dixie and Hunt ersville Tuesday and Wednesday, in the care and . attention those -devices need an dalso in the care and operation of electric light plants. The meeting scheduled for Sharon Thursday after noon had to be postponed becaunse of the rain. :- - .
