When we look over the records of progress in rural lines in North Caro lina we find no name which stands out more than that of Mrs. Jane S. Mc- Kimmon, State Home Demonstration Agent. North Carolina was one of the five pioneer states in Home Demonstration work—the others being South Caroli na. Mississippi, Virginia and Tennes see. In these five states only two of the original State workers remain— Miss Susie V. Powell in Mississippi and our Mrs. McKimmon in North Car olina. Home Demonstration Work began in the fall of 1910 —in the form of girls’ club work* —which at that time had to do chiefly with the growing and can ning of tomatoes for home and mar ket. The organization at this time spread only into fourteen counties. The early stages of the work neces sarily had to do largely with such projects as would promote material wealth, as, this is usually Hit* most ac cessible approach to the conservative mind. The first year the girls pro duced and canned 35,000 cans of toma toes —fifty per cent, of th(*se were put up in tin and every desired to find a market. One of the first things neces sary was to convince the home people vbat. these products had been properly sterilized and propoHy packed, and tiny were goal article of food and W'-rth the price asked. This the. girls proved by demonstrations in stores ami other cenuus showing the kind of products they were trying to market. A'.most all ot these canned goods were s. Jd right in th< commuriflcs where il-ey were grown and a refutation es tablished there iH ich still holds good today. The interest «roused throng» this organization of girls in Girls’ Canning Clubs spread to their mothers and they asked to he organized for Homo Demonstration Work. Now the work had to expand from the first gardening and canning projects into a more gen eral inogram for the development of the rural home —the selection and care of food, planning of meals, the mean ing of well balanced meals, wen* some of tlie new features to lie included. Several big features of more recent development which have been holding the attention of the Home Demonstra tion Clubs are—Household Manage ment —including the teaching and mak ing of household conveniences*, cloth ing work especially stressing the proper selection of clothing as well as better and easier ways of making these clothes. The work in clothing includes millinery and the hat prob lem. as to the making and trimming of hats, seems to hold unbounded inter est. Household furnishings takes up the work of beautifying the interior of the rural home. These and other in teresting projects have -so vitalized the work that £he numlier of counties organized has grown and the number of clubs and members have many times doubled since the beginning. The fol lowing figures make an interesting com parison : In 1911-12 there were four teen counties organized while in 1921- 22 the number had grown % to fifty-three. In 1911-12 thousand women in 1921-22. In 1911 thirteen counties reported on THE NEGRO EXODUS RESULTS SERIOUS PROBLEM Says Labor Commissioner Shipman in Statement Made Thursday. Raleigh. N. (’.. May 24 (By the As sociated Press). — The exodus of negro labor from the state presents a serious menace to farm operations, declared M. L. Shipman. Commissioner of La bor and Printing, in a statement made public tonight. The present demand for help on farms appears to be considerably in excess of the available supply, "Mr. Shipman stated, and whatever is done to relieve the situation “must lie done quickly.” “A discussion the methods em ployed in enticing this class of labor away will not help matters,” Mr. Shipman stated, “It will do no good to berate the negro for accepting em ployment elsewhere, which appears to he more profitable to him than the op portunities offered in North Carolina. He has a constitutional right to go where he pleases and return when he feels disposed to do so., Promises of higher wages appeal to him and warn ings. by the home folks, or increased living expenses in his new environ ment fall upon deaf cars. It will re quire experience in other field to con vince that North Carolina is the most inviting place in the Country for him 1 to live comfortably. "But while the process of permanent' adjustment is in progress plans to I counteract the loss of negro labor must be worked out. The wheels of indus try must be kept moving; growing crops must he cultivated and garnered | at harvest time. In the present emer gency the co-operation of the Slate's j citizenship is needed in the effort to Induce the unemployed to take up ag-! rieuiturih pursuits—a held in which { the present demand for help appears to be considerably in excess of the available supply. Arid whatever is done must be done quickly. "It is of the ntmost importance that uniting workers shall offer their ser vices wherever they are most needed, for, in the present emergency, an equitable distribution of the State's labor supply is 'essential. The public employment service through its offices in Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, New Bern. Raleigh. Wilmington and Winston-Salem, affords a medium for the clearance of all classes of labor. The service invites the public to use these offices to the limit, and promises every possible assistance in the effort to place all available Labor -where the ' licks will count. ( “In communities where public em- | ployment agencies do not exist the for- | matiou of citizens’ committees for the ( purpose of listing those seeking em- ' ployment would doubtless aid mater ially in the mobilization of the State's labor supply. The scholastic year is ] nearing the close and thousands of j stalwart young men may be willing to t offer their services during the vaca- i tion period to farmers and other class- - es of employers in their respective neighborhoods.
