This is not surprising when one considers the progress in farming methods and the raising of the standards of living through out Haywood county that has been brought phout in the past few years, "I wish to commend Haywood county for the outstanding job it is doing.

I have not learned of it as yet. We have taken the liberty of passing on to other counties the ideas developed in Haywood county and I shall look forward with interest to future reports and results in that county,'' is an excerpt from a recent letter from I. 0. Schaub, director of the state co-operative extension work, to J. C. Lynn, county agent. "We plan to send sample copies of your posters to other counties in that it may be worth something to them in the form'of a sugges tion for their own problems. Nat urally, in doing this Haywood coun ty will not lose anything through the publicity," is taken from a let ter from J. F. Griswell, extension leader Land-Use planning, to the local office, "In my opinion you have one of the best organizations in the state and the interest and enthusiasm shown by the members of your council, I do not believe will be surpassed in any county. You are all to be con gratulated for the fine work which has been done and I am sure that future reports will show that this good Work is being continued in a very fine way," is in part a letter received by J. C. Lynn, coun ty agent from F, S. Sloan, district farm agent. J. S. Criswell was so much im pressed with publicity given the program in Haywood county, that he ordered copies of the poster designed and printed by The Moun taineer and the double page ad sponsored by the merchants which was carried in this paper sent to other counties to be used as a pattern for them to follow. The National Defense program was first launched on March the 11th, when the officers were elect ed and the organization plans were inaugurated. J. C. Lynn is president of the county council; W. H. F. Millar, vice president; and Mrs. Henry Francis secretary and treasurer. J. E, Barr is head of the publicity committee and much of the credit of the well laid plans should be given to him, according to the other members of the council. Through the various features of promotion which will arouse the citizens of the county to the im portance of planting and "living at home" from their gardens dur ing the coming year, more vegeta ble plots are being planted with larger acreages than ever before in the county. In the interest of stimulating the urgency of the national defense program, Mr. Barr has distribut ed 250 posters throughout the county, the merit of which has al ready been referred to in the excerpts from the letters. Through the schools of the coun ty 6,000 garden plans have been distributed through the students in the schools, which they in turn took to their parents. In this material were directions for veg etable gardens for families of five persons, outlining daily food charts. They also contained va riations of planting and best meth ods of garden fertilization. There have been: mailed from the county farm agents' office 2,600 cards containing better food and feed charts, to the rural fam ilies of the county. If a family fails to return the first card to the county agents' office according to instructions, they will be mailed a red card asking why they have failed to comply with the request, pointing out their responsibility at this critical time. Each family in the county that takes an active part in the Na tional Defense program and through the outlined instructions actually produce 75 per cent of their food and feed needs will be given : a certificate signed by the Governor, director of extension work of the state, and the supervi sor of vocational agriculture. Each landlord Where the ten ants can qualify as to the produc tion of this stated per cent of food and feed production will be given an additional certificate. Miss Mary Margaret Smith, county home demonstration agent, is Stressing the preservation of foods and is urging that not only the rural women, but those resid ing in towns take part in this fea ture, as the usual summer garden can supply not only immediate needs, but the surplus offers can ning opportunities. The ground work of the na tional defense program has been well laid in Haywood county and whether or not the results equal the initial start depends upon the co-operation of the people. The county farm agents and the mem bers of the county council are willing and ready to lend every possible assistance in carrying out the plans.

President Prevost said that in the past, separate campaigns had been made soliciting funds for many of these events, and that this year one canvass and one soliticitation would be made in order to raise the $4,200 budget necessary to carry on this general program. "We have found that those who are soliticted for every community wide event, prefer the one solici tation plan. We have been encour aged in this program by a number of leading contributors saying they would rather give to a community-wide program than have so many solicitations come up dur ing the course of the year," "The plan is similar to that which many large cities use in their community chest drives, In which all charity organizations share from the gross proceeds without having to stage separate campaigns. This means less trou ble to the contributor, and certain ly saves time with those having to make the drives." Complete details of the budget under which the program will be carried out, will be given next week. THURSDAY I Byers Resits (Continued frft vacant by the resig,...
