The special presentation ceremony, conducted by Coun ty Agricultural Agent Charles D. Kaper, was the culmination of many years oi hard work by the Jolly family. Characterized as a family of "cooperation and determina- 1 tion," the Jollys became the lirst Columbus County family in 20 years to receive the u ward. The hour-loug program on the neatly ctopped lawn or the Jolly home, preceeded a con ducted tour of the farm and the house which the Jollys bought in 1946. Featured speaker on the pro gram was Dr. George Hyatt, Assistant Director of the N. C. State College Extension Ser t, vice, who explained the objec tives of having special awards to outstanding tarin families. Highlights of the history of the Jolly family were given by County Agent Raper and Co unty Home Economics Agent Elaine N. Blake. Harry Stevens, a neighbor of the Jollys, paid tribute to his farmer friends. The presentation of the pla que was made by William C. LnRue, associate editor of Th„· Progressive Farmer, a co sponsor of the award. The North Carolina Extension Ser vice also sponsors the program. The plaque reads: "Master Farm Family Award, Honorim; Distinguished Southern Farm Families, Presented To Mr. and Mrs. Ralph M. Jolly and Family, By The Progressive ^ Farmer And The North Caro lina Agricultural Extension Service, For Notable Accom plishments in Farming, Home making and Citizenship, 1961." The Jolly farm, which en compasses 113 acres, is marked by its almost mathematical neatness. It is hard to find a place on it that doesn't seem remolded to fit its purpose. Tobacco is the main income producing crop of the farm. * The Jollys have 15 acres of it, although some is rented. Sweet potatoes are second in Incom« production. Mr. Joll; usually has from eight to 10 ι acres, but this year has only four. There are also several test plots which contain research varieties of the root crop. When the farm was purch ased by the Jollys in 1046, it had fallen into a serious state of disrepair. Since that time, the land area has been com pletely reworked and increas ed in size from 67 It· 113 acre·*. The farm had belonged to Mrs. Jolly's father, Egbert D. Mills. The compact seven - room house that is the Jolly home has undergone extensive re modeling. Rooms have been made larger, a bathroom hau been put in, closets have been expanded, cabinets have been put in the kitchen, and the en tire interior of the dwelling has been refinished. All the renovation, together with the clearing, landscaping and seeding of the yard, took place in 1941) and 1950. The Jolly family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Jolly, their two sons, William, 17, and Thomas, II, and Mrs. Jolly's mother.
