EARLE BRINTNALL RESIGNS POST
AS F ARM DEMONSTRATION AGENT
LaTo Take Up Work in Catawba
County adouc tne rirai
Of August" -
Since our last issue went to press
we have learned that Mr. Earle Brint
nall, Farm Demonstration Agent for
Madison County, has resigned and
expects to move out of the County
about the first of August. This news
will come as a shock to his many
friends in the County. He has held
this position for more than ten years,
having come to Madison County May
1. 1925. Mr. Brintnall is one of the
best informed and most conscientious
farm agents in our experience. Mr
Brintnall graduated April, 190G, with
a B. S. degree from the Iowa State"
College and in April 1922 he was
given the degree of M. S. from the
same college. He taught in Massa-
chusetta State College, in the Kansas
Agricultural College, he actually
farmed for eight Jfcars and did ex
perimental work with the Mississippi
Experimental Station. Since he has
been in the County, he has been a
hard worker and has written almost
continuously every week for the
News-Record. His articles have been
well written and doubly interesting
because of the fact that he has made
a. practice of mentioning people in the
County who were putting into prac
tice some of the ideas which he and
the Agricultural Exension Courses
County for two or three years he
JVt were promulgating. After being in the
built a home on Hayes Run where he
and Mrs. Brintnall and their one son,
Philip, have since lived. Socially pro
minent, these (people will be missed
by their friends not only in Marshall
: but throughout the County. Mr.
Brintnall will have charge of similar
work in Catawba County, and will
task his home at Newton. N. C.;u,v

Making clear that foreclosures will

owners who refuse to make their pay

the Corporation points out that, of
the 568 foreclosures to date, 166

Usi .M the entire number, were taken in
such instances of wilful default The
remainder were mainly brought about
by theeath of the borrower, or by

holders of second mortgages.
