gL.,.- The Iie,t Advertising Medium In Haywood County Published At The Eastern Entrance of The (ireat Smoky Mountains National Park Head by Thinkin- IVople NO. Elaborate Farm Program Being Developed Fast U:.e of the most far-reaching and t-a rii-: farm programs ever staged ;,'-' Haywood county is now under, way, r.d committees have been named t,-, work with the county agent and others in all townships in the county Cjx :hrve, and these will be organized The purpose of the meetings was to present to the people a new program of farm demonstration work. Under TV A and state co-operation a new ..ystem is being inaugurated, and Haywood county is to be congratu ;a:e 1 that it has been selected to be made a model demonstration county, for this part of the state- Co-operation of the people of this county, of .course, will determine the success of the experiment. The organization meetings were rushed in order that a report of progress made could be :r.:cde to the State County Agents' ( Terence in session in Raleigh this ,vo,k. The pian in brief is to select ( se lection to be made by the committee men in each township) a farm in each township fairly representative of the other farms in its township. What seems to be the best program for that individual farm is worked out by the owner, in conjunction with the county .".rents, the committee, and the other farmers of the community. At least once a month the county agent or as sistant agent will meet the farmers of the community there and work out with them any problems or projects which have arisen or seem advisable. Any assistance from specialists which seems advisable will be asked for and received. The farm is to be considered as a unit, its assets .ami liabilities taken into 'account when the plans are made. Iw s.,il fertilifv and adaptability, the S. farmer's need for crush for taxes, cdu- cat .ion of children, and so forth. will be 1 factors determining more or less the crons used and stock raised. The aim of the whale program is to 4 enable the farm agents to do more f thorough job of demonstrating, to a larger group of people than if they try to visit every individual farm and perhaps can not get around for lack of time. That way of serving, however- will be continued as far as pos sible and feasible.. It is hoped to prove that a farm with proper and carefully thought out programs can be both self-sustaining and family .supporting. . Therefore no great out lay of cash is to be used in these projects, if any at all. Any one interested in co-operating to the extent of making his farm available for a demonstration should make that known to his township committee at otice. Only such farms as are offered to the committee will IK' considered in the selection. It is desirable that the program carry over a 'period of at least five years, but there is nothing compulsory about it. if a man decides it is not the wise course for him to follow. CO-OPER-A.IIOX is to be the keynote of the whole project the farm owner, his family, the community, the agents, the state extension department, spe cialists available, and the TVA. : Meetings were held and township agricultural committees elected as follows: lrm Duff.
