his father implanted the wis
dom of it.
By the time he was 12 years j
old, he was rising at 5 a. m., |
milking (by hand) his father's;
herd before school hours. In the
afternoon, he was again coaxing
the best production from the
Addington herd ? purebred
Guernseys, by the way, which
his father began establishing on
his farm in 1925.
"Modern milking machines
are wonderful thingsi" A. B.
Addington says todav.
But far from developing a
distaste for the hard work of
farming, when it came time for j
college, A. B. chose N. C. State [
College ? to study agriculture. j
He intended at that time to ;
return to the farm when he fin- j
ished school, and kept this plan <
until he was nearly through,
when he was called into service ;
with a heavy bomber group
during World War II.
Discharged from service three
and one-half years later, he
finished his agricultural courses,
majoring in livestock husban- 1
dry.
"Dairying and livestock farm
ing will play a big part in this
State's future agriculture," State
College and Extension Service
leaders told him. "In order to
add such enterprises to their j
farms and make them success
fill, farmers will need assis- !
tance."
A. B. Addington got the pic- ,
ture. Somehow, he also recalled
a certain "Old Doc Brownlow" ? j
a faithful old servant of the [
rural communities, who went
when he was called, and did
what he could to solve prob
lems.
How well his background,
training, and ingrained reason
ing have fitted him for farm
agent work can be judged by
some of the plain standards
which every farm agent sets for
himself:
1. To do a lot of good for a
lot of people.
2. To feel a genuine interest
In the welfare of . rural people.
3. To be willing to work in
their behalf ? not merely for the
pay received, but to get the
jobs done co-operatively and ef
fectively.
4. To continue the study of I

State Spending
Grows; 27 Top
$100 Per Capita
More than half the states In
the Union? 27 to be exact ? had
total expenditures for all pur
poses in 1951 of more than $100
?pr every one of their Inhabi
tants, according to a study re
cently made public by the U. S.
Bureau of Census.
Two of thest states, Delaware
and Washington, spent the
equivalent of more than $200
per capita last year, the first
time this level has been reached
in state expenditure records.
The growth of spending at
the state level is indicated by
the fact that only one year be
fore, in 1950, there were 17
states with per capita expendi
tures of $100 and more, ten
fewer than in 1951. In 1949
there were only 11 states in
this spending bracket. As an
average, total expenditures of
the 48 state governments were
the equivalent of more than
$100 per capita in 1951, as com
pared with $89 in 1950 and $81
in 1949. Back in 1940, per capita
state expenditures averaged
only $41.
