Would you ?4?y this wus nuiightyY sjh* has played tu crowded huUHc? ov?r * rvcurd rua, indications wore that there would in- more students taking agricul ture the next year than one man could teach. In addition the de mands for service among the adult farmers, because of evening class eii Mr. Hirrrla ?u eondvcUns. were taking a large part of his time. The authorities proved their case for ah assistant teacher of agriculture, and beglnn'ut; with the fall of 1922 two teachers of agriculture were on the job in the Chapel Hill High School. 'Mr. Harris now arranged for Ills assistant to carry the major portion of the class work at the Central High School and he pro ceeded to plan IiIn program among the out of schrH>l boys, the large boys in outlying schools, and among the adult farmers. Ills plan was to get through with his work at the Chapel Hill School by noon, get In his car. in the bnck of which might be a pruning and ?praying outfit, or a crate of ba by chicks, or n purebred bull calf or hoar, and go to the country. At one time during that year he was reaching 249 people in eight dif ferent centers, with definite in struction In agriculture. He would g o to this .small rural school in which were a number of large English iieauty Weds Hon. Mrs T'.vi lyn I'ltzcerald of England wan one of the moat beuutiful brides of thr whiter w -ishu, lur wedding ix-lns a Kirat social event. Sho was Helen Lirut'y, daughter oi Maj. Ofn. I.Vury and alsti-r of Lady IX'vcrbrook. i boys who were in>| ready for hiuh I school. ami perhaps m-v r would i . no to high school, inert thi'lii for , an hour in I the afternoon and teat It them agriculture. After ; school he would vl. it their heme j projects, Instruct them In the planning and management of this i I whether it was in farm crop*. ' I horticulture or animal husbandry. At night he would have a meeting i of the* adult farmers at the school j i housed ? i "What art- some of the results i. of this unusual activity of these ! two men. wiio are now, by the WHy asking for a third man? This , part of Orange <*' unty was not. adapted to the type.* *jf forming followed by th" farmer.". The teacher of agriculture showed them the value of lis meek farm ing and helped them rc-ar range ? their farum and provide tor pas tures. Some farmers w< nt in for, dairy-farming. They built up their herds until they h;.d more butter and cream than they could dis pense with locally. Mr. Harris I organized cream loutes, had I cn am delivered to Chape) Hill and shipped to nearby creameries. ".Some of the patrons converted their land into boy fanus. On* man told the Suite Supervisor more than at year auo that lie had not tunde aiiythiir; at fnrmlir: In | the old way for years. but that he would make $ 1.000 on iiis hogs' that year. 'Over a year ago tin- teachers, reported that the> I :id bou . lit l-w tin- farmers more than ti n thou sand purebn d baby chicks. 'I her i was no lack of class activity on an I occasion when the writer was pre sent at the school and a thousand McCabe & Grice's MID-WINTER SALE Is In Full Swing DON'TMISSIT baby chicks arrived. The class in poultry was Riven the respon sibility of giving the chicks the proper initial treatment. Rotting llwni delivered to the buyers, see ing that the brooder* wore prop r-ilv h< ated and every condition made favorable for tin* young birds. ({??cause of this activity the marketing conditions were grow in:; more serious. Not only did the farmers have more dairy pro ducts than they could dispose of hut there was a surplus of fresh /o.getable, fruit and poultry pro ducts. Mr. Harris' next move was the establlHhineiit of a curb mar ket in the University town to which these products w*rc brought on certain days and he helped with the grading and pric Iur. ? During the summer of 1^24 the supply of tin produce grown i for market in the area served by I | the school wan so great that some | organized method of collecting i and delivering wan necessary. Mr. 1 Harris procet-ded to organize six , truck routes, covering the main public roads iu the end of the country served by the Chapel Hill , school and placed weekly delivery trucks within reach of more than than half of the farmers of the , county. The truck had different , routes each day. "An association was formed for , the operating of the truck and th-' : marketing of the produce to which the County Board of Com missioners appropriated $1,000 I to pay th*- salary of the truck driver and the Chapel Hill School lent $1,000 to be used as a revolv ! in:: fund in order to prevent delav f In payijig the farmers for their I produce. Six years was allowed 1 the association in wMch to repay the County Hoard of Commission ers. Forty six farmers advanced $10 each for the payment of the | truck. "The upkeep of the truck was I provide d for by a tax of one cent on a pound of butter and cent on a dozen eggs and a five per ! cent commission on all vegetables j handled for the farmer by the truck. I 'Each of the 1.200 families now I served by the truck gives one five pound hen annually to the asso elation, which at 25 cents a peund will return $1,500. This will be used to repay the farmers who1 ' advanced the $4f?0 for the truck and any other debts of the asso ciation. "An average month's business on the three principal products, cream, 3151 pounds; poultry, 2 rt 4 8 pounds; and eggs 1.571 doz ens. bought $1.G27. These fig ures were for July 1924. "This Is only the beginning of a service which bids fair to put a I check each week in the hands of J every farmer In Orange County who avails himself of this weekly market wagon. All this has taken ; place because a wide awake young ; man with a passion for service was located in a village school. ; surrounded by a farming section known far and wide for Its poor soils and unprofitable farming."
