Contrary to ex pectations, the annual convention oi' farmers and far.n women held at the State College last week was attend ed by a thousand or more people during each of the thr<c days. At the close of the first day about 50') men and women had registered for rooms and many other hundreds had driven in for the day. A new feature of tliq convention this year was t lu string band brought in from Alamance County by President R. W. Scott. This band added much to ? the social V side of the meeting and vied with the most popular speakers as an at traction. Its old fashioned tunes and its songs of long ago stirred the audience to an extent sui|>assed only by Senator E. I). Smith's woi;jk>r fitl challenge to farmers to prgani/.e for. their own protection., ? The Convention held a joint ses sion lor men and women on the morning of the opening day, July 213. and on the nights of .July 23 and 24. All other meetings were in groups. The men met together on Tuesday morning for a discussion of farm credits but at other times, the groups uvre gathered togather to study farm crops and livestock. The annual meet ing of the Sluts-. Seed Improvement Association was held on the after noon of the 24, The farm women held / their meetings separately and lipard reports on women's work as done in Hlie. different counties of the State. The Convention this year w&? char acterized by more discussion from the floor by farmers themselves. In the past, those in the audience have ' been content to let the speakers do the talking; but, this year, those who wished definite information about a particular subject had 1V0 hesitancy in asking questions and in giving e:: rerlences. It seemed that the far.n L crs have really cjine io h.ok upon ? State Cqjlege as tl eir own1 institution and tte Convention 'as theiv-jHibl c iorum. !I2DF0HDS ATTEND PUR NIlUilE EX?03ITI0:i Messrs.

"The live stock producers of Western North Carolina have lost thousands of dol lars by working individually in mar keting their cattle each fall. August of this year will see cattle begin to move again, and buyers will be scour ing the county buying to the best ad vantage and this is their privilege. "But the livestock producers of Western North Carolina will never make the advances in economic pro duction and profit in the business that they should until they take more interest in the manner and methods of marketing their cattle. A few blunders at marketing time can spoil the profits from- a year's production," says V. \\ . Lewis, Livestcck^larkei iiig S]>ecialjst for the State College 5 and Department of Agriculture. W hether the livestock producer*. of this section sell their cattle and lambs to dealers, hold feeder and stocker sales, or ship to the markets cooperatively, there should be some unity of action among them, states Mr. Lewis. 1 Farmers of North Carolina who produce any crop or surplus product without fir.it finding out or having: in mind the manner, time and place*', for marketing, arc placing themselves at the mercy of conditions that they plight have controlled. For example, the farmer who feeds a few hogs ex pecting them to be sold locally, may 'find that his neighbors have done the same thing, but that they have ?lot fed these hogs to be ready at the same time, and possibly not hardly enough for a car. A little thought - fulness on their part- would reveal the fact that a carload cou'd have been fed and enough surplus taken off the local market to keep local pive:?s up to the pr .per level. 1 "To my mind local or ountv co operative livestock shipping associ- ' n^'ns in Western North "'Carolina would materially improve the con ditions for marketing livestock in this part of the State", Mr. Lewis says., "The associations require no cap ital stock. Instead of an appeal for money, it is an appeal fer men who want to retain control of their pro ducts to yie extent of taking unnec essary speculation out of the bus iness. Producers simply agree to ship their own livestock, sending them to feeders, butchers, or cen tral markets where the livestock will >ring the most money. The manager is usually paid for his services so much per car shipped or on the basis of . so much per 100 pounds market ed, or on a percentage basis, this matter being in the hands of a com mittiee representing the producers. "The oldest livestock shipping as-r soeiation on record is the Farmers* Shipping Association of Superior, Nebraska, being formed in 188.'{ and shipping 107 cats of livestock in 1!>2!. "A very high per cent of the live st ck marketed in Iowa, Minnesota and otlier states is handled in the r same manner. "These associations are also very useful in building up the quality of the-' livestock > in any section ? a thing vrrv badly needed in Westeru North Carolina. The casual observer of this section is of th^ - pinion that the quality of the beef cattle is not improving but moving in the op posite directi' n. , "In the (Mid, no one can decide the matter of what shall or shall not be done relative to improving these c- nditjens exccpt the live stock producers. There arc various rjrencifcs ready :"'d willing to heH '' get this work going if the producer; are ready to undertake it. "Cherokee and Clay Counts have inaugrated regular , livest ck shipping days and are working on a constructive program. i>nly cattle are ^ing handled at present. The co ;i rotors bring in calves, bulls, cows ? -air'l'iin* they have jo sell ancUthey are sl.'ppfMl. '? "T!< State Division of Markets would we|e,T??e an onportnnity 4 >> render esrvice in getting this work started in any section of Western North Carolina iv..dy to take sueli action."
