fort to secure enough cream to justi
fy. the creamery in running/* truck

chickens.
We wish to extend' an invitation

It is quite interesting to se? how
cream is shipped in small quantities.
Some customers bring half a -gallon,
nme tws> gallons or more. The
cream is skimmed by hand, with a

FARMER FAVORS
COUNTY A6EMT
MONEY IN GROWING ROASTING
EARS
Meeting Called For Last
In November. Advise Ua If
You Will Attend
Dear Mr. Noel:
Please allow me space in your
paper to say that I am glad an ef
for is being made to get a county
agent. We- certainly do need Man
one to halp us find a market for cur
produce, and I understand that is
one cf the principal things an agent
does nowadays.
He works under the direction of
the Division of Markets, in Raleigh,
and sells cattle, hogs, ve^gtables, eggs
and poultry or other farm supplies.
The Division of Markets is in elaaa
touch with all the big markets of
the North and South, and if we fret
an agent, we can put our corn nod
butterbeans on the tables of Washing
ton and New York.
For my own part, I am particular
ly interested in selling corn. In 19S4
I had eight rows of corn about ISO
feet leng, and I averaged nearly $2
a row selling roasting cars at 40
cents and 30 cents pa- dozen in Hmr
b.ir?. I planted peas with the earn,
and Jfirfd green per J too. The l?ntf
wasn't anything extra. Of course
1 used nitrate of soda and cultivated
the corn frequently. I made mere
money cn that little piece of ground
than I ever made before on the ssm
space. If we had an agent who
could advise a hundred or mora
farmers that he would ship n car
load of roasting ears for ua in the
early summer, and all of ua would
plant the same kind of early c:rn,
we could get a good little bit of moa
cy out of it, I feel perfectly aura
that a good agent, a man recom
mended by Mr. Schaub, .and by the
Haiaiwot Markets, would 'jr.ag
more extra money into the county
than the commissioners would have
to pay him in salary.
I know the county is mighty rh:rt
of money .and I don't know whether
or not we ought to nsk the commia
sioners to borrow the money t ; piy
an agent, however, I feel about '-his
as I do about my leaky roof ? my
house has been leaking for twelve
months, nnd I had set my heart oa
saving enough out of this crop to
get a new roof. But I can't. And t
hate to ga in debt, but I know if that
roof keeps on leaking 111 soon have
to have new rafters, sheathing, ceil
ing and plastering. So I'm going to
cover my house, even if I borrow
the money. ? ' - I
That'., just the i'ieu I have about
the coiinty agent, I think we are
loosing every day we do not have
someone to look after selling our
farm produce, and I believe we ought
to stop this leak.
Of course there's no use on earth
in getting an agent unless the farm
er! are going to back him up. I
rt:n't want the commissioners to get
en agent until there are at least a
hundred men, scattered in all the
townships, who will take enough in
terest to comc and ask for this agent.
The best agent in the world can't
do anything for the farmers, un
less we are willing and nnxiour to
help ourselves.
I liked Mr. Day's letter in your
last issue, especially his suggestion
that we meet in Roxbara. How many
farmers are willing to write Mr.
Noel a card or letter saying they
will come to the courthouse to a
meeting to discuss getting an agent
at two o'clock on the last. Saturday
afternoon in November? That's the
Saturday after Thanksgiving. Maybe
we won't be so busy then ? will some
man in each township see that the
men send a card ta Mr. Noell. or
drop in the Courier officp and tell him
you will come? -
Please let us hear from other
an agent and also those who dont.
There are always two sides to r-rrrj
question. ? FARMER.
