fum papier. The whole world was
diependant on the fanner. The hi^
cost of living called for the greatest
amount of production fro mthe least
amount of ground. He thbroQs^y
endorsed the work of Mr. Lawrence
and Miss Cassidey.
Chairman Zachary said he would
like to make a few remarks o nthe
subject before the house before in
troducing Mr. Mast who would speak
in a general way on the advantage of
Farm and Home Demonstration work
to the county, state and nation.
R. H. Zachary said in the past that
he was afraid the farmers on the
other side of this question were those
of the know-it-all and you-can't-teach
me-anything-about-farming kind.
Thescmen don’t go to demonstrations
and don’t need advise on farm topics.
They say it is a big expense to the
county for nothing. The actual cost
said Mr. Zachary, is buttwenty-six
and a quarter cents on the thousand
dollar valuation. Two and a quarter
cents on the hundred. Is it worth it?
I have personally been benefitted suf
ficiently by these demonstrations to
pay my taxes for the next hundred
years. The trouble is that when there
is anything to learn from a meeting
of this kind you will find two hundred
men on the streets and a mere dozen
at the meeting.
In 1913 farming the old way I
raised 20 bushels of corn per acre.
By following the knowledge gained
from the farm demonstrator my farm
yielded 66 bushels in 1918.
Now look at the number and quali
ty of the ho?;s exhibited at the Coun
ty Fair. The first year there were
two reg'istered ho{2:s, two sows and lit
ters and a few rejxistered shoats. This
year there over 1,000 re.i?istered
ho,u:s w'orth over $11,000.00 to the
County. Mr. 0. W. Clayton lost 13
out of 13 ho'Ts by cholera. Mr. Law-

J. B. Neal said he had been in con
stant touch with these agents since
their first arrival in the County. They
have been a wonderful help on the
farm, among the stock, in the orchard
and with the chickens. He couldn’t
begin to put a cash value on their
work to him and his family. Many
of the improvements were in the na
ture of foundation laying which
would develope into a grand tructure
of benefit along all lines in the years
to come.
O. L. Erwin, who is both merchant
and farmer said that these agents of
the county were, both energetic and
capable. It was a good thing for
Transylvania to have them. They
were always ready to talk farm and
home matters and their advice was
valuable to the farmer and housewife.
Tom McCall spoke of the cannery
at Quebec which Miss Cassidey or
ganized and developed. They had no
funds to start with but Miss Cassidey
raised $140.00 by a big supper, put
in a stock company and established
a cannery. Now they had hundreds
of dollars worth of canned goods in
store for the winter.
C. C. Young said he wasn’t blind,
but thought that even a blind man
could see the improvement among the
crops and stock of the county farmer.
He was heartily in favor of letting
the good work go on.
Mr. Blythe said most people knew
him as a druggist and wouldn’t sup
pose that he was a farmer. He also
sjiid the trouble with the average one
horse farmer w'as that they knew too
much; that was why they staid one
horse farmers. You can’t teach a
man who knows it all. In times gone
by farmers thou.2:ht little of the chem

Zachary. He ?aid a few months ago
a party went to Lurope; on their re
turn a member was asked: “Did you

;iijed, “I called on them but they w'ere
out.’’ (Laughter) See the point. Ig-
nnrnnco, pure isinorance. The w’ork
of Farm and Home Demonstration is
quite old in our country and goes
back to the “Land Grant College.”
This school distributed bulletins and
forms but didn’t get results. Then
we had Farmers’ Institutes, The
Smith-Lever Act and the Agriculture
Extension Bill; ali aiming at bring
the colleges to the farmer.

Catawba County now makes 500,-
000 pounds of cheese where it made
one five years ago. He told of a man
who wanted a machine harnessed on
his mountain stream to run a saw and
a grist mill. The machine he got
w^ould cut wood but would not grind
corn. The county agent showed him
where he could get a machine that
would do both, run the churn, pump
the water and furnish electric^ light;
all from the ame stream. He knew
of a boy who had a registered cow
which gave five times as much milk
as his fathers five scrub cows which

U. D. C. with sixty members heartily
endorsing both agents.
W. E. Breese said that it would be
a great mistake t odiscontinue the
work of Mr. Lawrence and Miss Cas
sidey. He knew of the good work
done in this and other counties. Some
farmers have the idea that these
agents have only book learning, but
they are waking up to the fact that
they know the practical side also. He
said he personally objected to, canned
goods in any form; but must say that
the absolute cleanliness and appetiz
ing quality of the various articles put
up by the canneries he visited, was
fast dispelling his prejudice against
the canned good put up in Transyl
vania. The demonstrators, said Mr.
Breese, are worth many times what
they cost the County. It would be
a backward step if the commissioners
discontinued their services.
Rev. Seagle said he wasn’t farming
