EIGHT MONTHS SCHOOL TERM LOOMING AS BIG QUESTION -r Raleigh, August 16?That the qucs tion of an eight months school term is getting more and more likely to be one of unusual interest and one! that is likely to be productive of con; siderable fireworks at the next ses sion of the legislature is evident in the recent appointment of I)r. Fred ' Morrison as assistant executive sec retary of the State educational com mission. The commission, consisting! of 12 members of which J. 0. Oarr! of Wilmington is chairman and. J. j Y. Joy nor executive secretary was appointed by Gov. McLean in ac cordance with an act by the last leg islature, to make a study.of educa f" tional system in the State ajid any ]M>ssibfe ways and means for iinprov-j ing it. The rejiort of the commission i is to be made, to the Governor who; then may transmit whatever reconi-j mendations he- sees t'jt to the. legis-1 lature with his j>ersoiial recotnmen-! dations for needed legislation, reme-1 dial or otherwise. Sold $3,200 Worth of Potatoes Last Year?Crop?^\.re Better this Year Waynesvi 1 le Moun tai neer L. N. Pinner iias a. farm in Pigeon River valley near Canton.. It was in ''rill! down" condition when lie pur chased it five years ago, and a part of the oi>en land had been abandoned for agricultural purposes. Under well planned rotation of crops which included nitrogen fath ering clovers aiutN>ther legumes, pro? ductiou on this farm has boon in-^ creased tin* live year period. When asked about7 his last 'year's yield of Irish i>otaU>es Mr. Pinner said (lie got about half an avenge crop yield. However. from: his 1925 harvest of potatoes ho received^$3,- j 200 besides keeping enough to supply his demands for seed this year. Ho had lt? acres planted to potatoes last year. This year ho had about 1" acres and the indicated yield per acre will be much larger th$)i last year. Rains came in Haywood county in time to save the crops of potatoes, with only slightly diminished yields. In his rotation Mr. Pinner usually plans to lot potatoes? follow rod clov-)' er and wheat follows\potatoes. On. the land from which ho sold fj?3,200,; worth of potatoes last year lie has wheat from which lie estimates a yield of 35 bushels to the acre. A i part ot his corn crop, which indicates a large yield is on land which ho re claimed. It was sown with rye last fall and this was turned down ??> a green manuring crop for the corn. Mi*. Pinner lives on tin- hard sur faced county road leading from, C'?n ton to the County Homo, but there are no visible evidences that he will ever need the services of that institu tion. In his farm activities he pro ceeds under the idea that "if a thing is worth doing at all. it is wortlj do ing well". For instance, in operating his wheat drill the furrows 'were made as straight as a bee line, extend ing between a quarter and a half mile in length, and the distance be tween the lap drills was so uniform that nobody could tell whore the lap* were. The criticism that farmers do not work regularly does not seem to ap ply in Mr. Pinner's case. Like the merchant or manufacturer, ho finds something to do all the year 'round and lie also sweats his' brains as wellj as his body. In other words he works out his plans with his brains. ( This! docs not imply that he wastes liulnan | energy in performing tasks that can; be done more efficiently and'econo callv by horsepower and machinery.' With riding cultivator ho cultivatesi nine acres of-'eorp a day ami does it! better than is done with a one horse side cultivator bchind'which a man must walk and hold in position?and ; do four acres instead of 'nine. "I am planning to raise a pair of 'rood mules buy a tractor and then keep only two mules instead of five, horses," said Mr. Pinner Raising) two mules (instead 6i btty them) blends well into the scheme of things ^n his-faim. Ho "raises'? niost of his nitrogen, which is the most expensive element in commercial fertilizer*., The idea of "raising" things repre sents the only way that loads to eco-! mic i I'oedoni on the farm, regardless j of where it is located. Tlu? "safety1 first ' signal that should be conspie-i uouslyj displayed on every- farm is,' "Make this farm self feeding andj self siipjKirting. ( ' ) ' While he did hot fully outline hisj futitro plans, we have a suspicion that in coming years Mr. Pinner will | let flocks of purebred poultry and | perhaps herds,of high-grade dairy cows manufacture all his raw mater-' ials into finished products and with j these he will place himself 6n a reg-j ular all the year 'round week pay-! loll. I \ " Accomplishments of I^tenSion Work Reviewed in Tenth Annual Report Extension work as it has been conducted during the 10 year period from 1914 to 1924 ha shelpcd tann ing people to think about the busi ness of the farm and to act on their conclusions, says the United States Department of Agriculture in tlio tenth annual report of cooi>c'rativc, agricultural extension work. < fact tliat 49,464 community programs were developed in 1924 m which ( farmers themselves devised remedies, selected 182,917 local leaders, deter mined ujk)u 1,134,750 demonstrations,, carried tlu-m to completion and ie-; ported the results, shows the coop eration farm people are giving exten sion work. t .' The iviM?'t uot only discusses the work ol' 1924 but reviews the results j of Extension teaching done since the j passage of the Smith-Lever Act m ION. It covers more than, 130 pages explaining the different types of ex tension work being carried on, their development and accomplishment. The 1.0 vear period is reviewed to [give a broader view of what has ! been aceomplislied and ol the gen |oral trend of the work in its relation I to American life, | The Smrih-Lever Act, which is tlio i nucleus of the American agricultural 'extension system provides for the j continuance of demonstration work j already developed to *ojne extent at :tile time of its passage. II eo'ntem j'plates placing meri :iiul women dem onstration agents in each agrieul'.iiril county to make available to tl)e IV.r i mer on his own larni and the iani woman in her owvn home, improved methods in farming and homcmaking which have been established by re search and in a Win which they call tu-S. It is the intent of'the aci that these audits aid farmers and their families, including boys and-girls, in putting on demonstrations in select ing seed,-I'eedimr jiml liiana^iiig live-1 stock lighting insect jn'sts and iu-'k ill'.' the hOiiie move comlorlable and attractive. It is designed to show how to applv improved methods under local conditions. During the ten voir period, the ma jor effort in county ag ricultural work lias been on tariU production and'?many improved prac tices have lieen adopt tyL Home demonstration work can justly he ac credited with many in'UHoVeiivfnts which contribute to tlurcoiivenieii'-e and beauty of the farm Itbnie and the well benivr of the farm family. Thru club work, many boys and girls ha e discovered the farm us an opportunity, tor an. interesting and profitable,, ea Lrcefc Tin.' act has secured the coo^'in 4ion of the Federal liovernnient and tlufState colleges of agriculture in carrying on extension cft'ork. but ? :t was drawn broadly enough .so . th.it farmers and farm women themselves' could cooperate with representatives of the county. State and Federal (Joverninents in phimiin?_r and finanv ing the extension work carried on in each community., This may he regard ed as one of the outstanding accom plishments under the Smith-Lever Act. Judging-by the experience of the past 10 years'the future trend of the influence of coo]H>rative extension work will be toward: (1) Increasing group thought and action as a habit in country neigh borhood life. (2) Encouraging conscious effort on the part of the country people to retain arid capitalize the best featur es.and attractions of country life and to work out for themselves the sound ** ? ? it est way in wlwti to ninke available to. their young .'people and to themselv es, tfyo best in education, recreatioi, and social life .which the country and town afford. (3) Expanding boys' and girls' club work and developing supplemen tary agencies that will make the practical influence of extension as jsociation, teaching, and training as available as public schoool education to all country boys and girls. (4) Furthering opportunities for : the economic and social development of the farm woman that will place her on a more equitable footing wit it the modern wage earning woman of the city in standards, of living and in opportunities for community activ ity and personal improvement. ' ^ (5) Stimulating ambition lor a more 'satisfying home and neighbor hood life on the part of the lanncr and his family based on healthful and sensible tastes and ideals and a community of thought, appreciation and action. ,t A copy of the report may bcl ob-' tained as long as the supply lasts by I writing to the United States Depart ment of ^gfriculture, Washington, D.

JACKSON CHALLENGING AT TENTION (Continued from last week) From this peak, looking Northward we see the signs of civilization com pletely fading. (A; strange feeling of a .return to the primitive ? a call of the' great outdoors? a cry from the wild sings through our head and thrills our heart as we behold the vast mountains known to the world as the Great Smoky Range rise and tower in wonderful prodigality mile ii]>on mile.. Mount LaConte lies just in front of us and Mount (Juyotj tall est of the Eastern Mountains, with a single exception, rises Eastward. About us the atmosphere is laden with the brilm of the balsams and t! bloom of the laurel and rhodudei. dren and the multitude of oilier wild flowers which complete the picture and set it in a frame more beautiful j than any picture eter madeiby other than the Master Architect. 'fo the West gulden fields and bewildering ! orchards are glimpsed and give the ; landscape the ap|>earancc of that pas toral contentment of happiness and prosperity that has inspired the mountaineers"' for countless ages. To ?the South more high jK-aks and i'or I ests (primeval and to the Southeast a ! tremendous distance downward, one ! occasionally catches a gliiajwe of towns and farms, when the land ? scape is not entirely obliterated by i the clouds-below us. In a word, 1 have referred to the district in the Smoky .Mountains which lie directly North of the .1. D* llood Mountain and Highway which congress aided by the States of North Carolina and Tennessee has set aside lor'vtt great- national park. This na tion:!! park' will ultimately be the shrine tiult will draw millions ^f vis itors to it every year and it is my be lief that every one of them will not halt until they have made at jeast one trip oxer the .T. D. llood High way where they will get a better bit-d.M'ye view of the 100 mile moun tain district than they could other wise get. Moreover, the Lincoln Highway/ which in North Carolina is No. 10, v""* ^ barring a few short gaps here and there'-is paved and it shortens the distance between' Montreal and all Northern American jHitnts to Atlan ta 107 miles. It will be the road therefore over which Nor:hem trav elers'"will pass Xort)i and South and I do not believe one of these*.travel civ would think of not detonring to the Skyline Highway in North Car olina and driving above the' ei :uds I when they Jiave the opportunity. The Hood road and Mount llood and its quota of a dozen fi.OliO foot mountain spires have (only to be Known- be M-en by countless mil lion and ti at is why I i iclined to call attention to them here. Then 1 * r ?added reason is that tije proximity yf South Carolina to litis .ruper mountain area makes a dir.eet appeal to every e/it i:>.en of this / Stiitc and when Mr. llood hangs o?it the latclj string all ?if us who love, the wild will be ready to put <#n ouv Old blue bonnet with the red ribbon o:i it, .and race right over to Mount Hood next summer!
