i i t ; . . J. V. Arrendale The County Agent For Four Years .Will Sever Official Re lations With County. Resignation Tuesday of . County -Agent J. V; Arrendale "on account of some dissension' in regard to some -of County Commissioners here com mending Mr. .Arrendale's work, and 'continuing the office of county agent for a period of two years, brought to an' end the mooted question of what the county commissioners would , -do about a county agent. r Mr, Arrendale agreed to continue in the office until 'February . 1, and , District' Agent John W. Goodman assured the commissioners that he would secure a new county agent for this county as soon as he could find ai inan whom he feels will prove sat ' asfactory. j , The question of a county agent - "was expected to come before the commissioners Monday, but was post poned until Mr, Goodman could ar rive. Farmers, meanwhile, on Monday afternoon, ' at a mass meeting in the courthouse, went on record favoring -continuance of the office, and refen lion of Mr. Arrendale. ' . Mr. . Goodman was closeted with the commissioners most of the morn 'ing, and it, was at an afternoon ses -sion that Mr. Arrendale tendered his resignation, after which the board -adopted its . resolution commending his work and continuing the office ior two more years, ? The contract with' the State for the new agent will be the same as that in force during the past year, ex cept that it will be for a period of two years : . previously the commis sioners have made appropriations for 'only a year s county agent work. Mr. Arrendale, who came to this county four years ago, . has been ac tive, especially in co-operative market -ing of . poultry,: the bringing into the county pi purebred Gurnsey cattle, and in establishing cream routes. He is credited as havme been largely re sponsible for organization of ,. the Macon ' County i Farmers Federation and of the establishment here of 'a .branch, o "the Carolina Creamery. The text of his resignation follows : ""Having senved as county agent for -a period . of tour years, and during this time having undertaken, to the foest of my ability, to best serve the interests of the , farmers , of . Macon county, and it appearing, as is usually the case, that while my efforts seem to have been ; appreciated by the . "larger part of the farmers, that there , Tias arisen some dissension in regard ;to some of the work that I have undertaken to do, thereby causing a breach between different citizens of the ' countv. and deeming it unwise to change my policies in order to attempt to 1 close such breach, I, therefore, consider it to the best interest of the citizens of Macon county - for me to discontinue my services as county agent, and there fore, respectfully submit my resigna tion to take effect not later than February ; first. 1927." """""" Following is the resolution adopt ed by the Board of Commissioners "Resolved: That whereas four years ago the County of Macon, in co-ope ration with i the State and Federal -governments, installed the office of muntv aeent. ana at tnai time pro- fiired the services or Mr. jonn V. Arrendale to fill such place' and ."Whereas, after four years of ser vice, it has been. found that such of ; fice is highly proftable to the farmers of Macon county, and that Mr. Ar rendale has filled the position in such manner as to , have rendered to the farmers of Macdn county a . service ',' I worthy of the commenndation of the farmers and the Board . of County i rnmmiiKjinnprs of Macon countv : . !

Wood, of Graham, has been reclaimed the use of pyrotol, and now three years after the soil was blasted, excellent crops can be produced by the owner. The reclaimed crop never produced, crop until the last three 1 years, states Mr. Wood, but this year an average of three tons of lespedeza hay pet acre was made. On No vember 17, when this farm was visited by A. T. Holmanj agricultural en gineer at State College, and W. Kerr Scott, county . agent of Alamance county, the area, drained with pyrotol was in excellent shape while neigh boring fields of the same Iredell sou type were too wet to plow because f rain of one and on-half inches of falling on the previous day. "This soil did not respond to sur face or oncn ditch drainage so in 1923, I decided to subsoil it with ex plosive which I had purchased for blowing stumps," says ' Mr. Wood. "With a large augur I drilled, holes through the soil and : hard pan to rock about, eight feet below the sur face. These holes were, placed eight feet apart each way. From the edge of this area to the ifnch I had an open ditch, so I placed a line of holes in the center of the ditch at the same depth as the others. One stick of pyrotol primed with cap and safety fuse to reach the top of the ground was placed in each hole and fired. The explosion broke up the hard pan and heavy subsoil but' left the sur face undisturbed.", As a result of this work. Mr. Wood refilled his opu diuh and has r.cver had any trouble with the area since. lie has also usci the explosive to drain a depression in another field. "I find that dairying and diversified fanning are proving successful for me,, but I, am working to get each acre on the farm to produce econom ically. I do this by removing stumps, draining land , and maintaining the supply of humus in the soil," says Mr. Wood. ' . ! . TROTTER'S NEW OFFICE ' Mr. John Trotter has an office in room No. . 6, McCoy.
