THE CATAWBA FARMER.
We are proud of our Catawba
County farmers, and we have
reason to be, when agricultural
papers all over the South are
commenting on what has been
done in this county. Only a few
davs ago 150 farmers from Meck
lenburg County came here to sec
our model dairy farms, and to
inspect the Catawba Creamery,
and learn for themselves what i
has been accomplished in this
creamery to take care of the but
ter and eggs, and get highest
market prices for them, AH this
is something of which we should
be proud. In our opinion we
have the most progressive farm
ers that are in the State, How
have they accomplished so much?
It has been done by diversified
farming. Our farmers do not
depend on any one crop; they
have for sale some of every thing
that can be ra'se-l on a farm in
this section, and they sell when
produce is at the highest mark
et yalue. When the prices get
so low that they cin not afford
to sell they purchase one of the
Home Canners and can all the •
products of the farmlthat would
otherwise go to waste, and this ,
is sold in the winter when there
is a great demand for cannned
goods. 1
Yes, we are proud of our farm- 1
ers; they are honest, reliable
hard working people, who be
iieve in good roads, good school.*,
good churches and good comfor
table homes. 1

the lesson as to the value of cat
> tie in augmenting the fertility of
i the soil was further demonstrat
ed. After a most cordial wel
come and reception here as at
the Shuford farm the party con
tinued on to Hickory where din
ner was had at the Hotel Huffry,
the Catawba creamery was in
spected and a general good time
was spent at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms. The farmers
1 evinced the keenest interest in
the various features of the
creamery on account of the fact
that a similar institution will
doubtless be established in
Mecklenburg at a date nnt. very
remote. It is enough to say
that the visit was all that could
have been desired. The welcome
was hearty and the entertain
ment lavish and whole-souled.
The return trip was made by
way of Newton and Lincclnton,
Charlotte being reached at 8:30
o'clock. There was not a serious
mishap along the way and every
body had a royal good time.
The Mecklenburg Farmers In
Hickory.
The farmers whose visit here
is noted above, arrived m the
c'ty about 12-45 P. Mj After j
dinner at the Huffry Hotel thry
visited and inspected the Cataw
ba Creamery, where they were
served fresh, golden butter and
butter milk fresh from the
churn. 1
About 3 o'clock the entire !
delegation assembled in the hall j
of the Chamber of Commerce, 1
where a pleasant hour was de- '
voted to short speeches by a I
number of those present. Sec- 
retary Joy had arranged a pro- 1
gram and this was carried out
to perfection.
County Demonstrator R. W.
Graeber of Mecklenburg, presid
ed and called the speakers.
John W, Robinson and
« Mrs. Gordon Wilfong, two wom
en whose work in the county
. has attracted Statewide attention,
: spoke interestingly and profit
. ably to the assembly. Mrs.
Robinson spoke of the part a
woman had had in ihe work on
the farm and expressed herself
, enthusiastically of the advan
tages to be found there. Mrs.
Wilfong, jrerhaps made the most
interesting talk on the program.
Her remarks, while serious,
were tendered in such a manner
as to excite merriment among
her hearers- She made, in the
opinion of all present, a most
excellent Progressive speech,
and declared that womaii would
never reach the limit of her
success unless she was allowed
to vote. The told of her work a
mong the United Farm Women
Clubs and the Girls' Canning
Club.
Mr, John W. Robinson, presi
dent and field agent of the
Catawba Creamery, spoke of the
wcrk being done by the cream
ery. The creamery is now
drawing cream from ten differ
ent counties and last month
mads a total of 72,000 pounds

work in the history of the insti
tu ion.
Other talks were made by
Messrs. H, P. Lutz, W. J. Shu
ford and C. C. Moore of Char- (
lotte, a prominent dairy and live
stock man. Mr. Moore spoke a |
good word fer Catawba County
by saying that since his first
visit to Hickory years ago when j
he camped upon the present site j
of the Huffry Hotel, the county J
