Having been Invited to talk to an engineering club it is of the ut- moat importance that I know What . an engineer is. When I waa a email ' boy in my mind there waa only one kind of an engineer. He pulled the throttle on a locomotive and for many yeara my definition of an engineer waa Just that I don't be? lleve that many of you, if any, will qualify as an engineer of that kind, and to yearning for an, expert definition I went to ' our friend "Webster for his opinion. He tells me that an engineer is first, a de- . signer or construction of engines.' ; Second, one of a corps of men who lmorm engineering work as . in building forts, bridges etc. , Third, one versed in or follows as a calling any branch of engl- ? nee ring. Fourth, one who operates an en- 'Sine. Fifth, one who skillfully man ages or comes through with some enterprise. I believe that number 2 and 3 fit you gentlemen more than the others, but I would like to add .Number S to our thinking for to night.. . -, t An engineer of any kind has to , have vision to successfully conduct his vocation. He- must be going somewhere because be wants to go there; he must have an ideal in mind and that ideal must permeate It's evetjr Uua a..J I . - . - -t.ii" "S a ly to your px ..t wo in tue greatest pos ie de;;Tee. It is neceaMrr that you nave a menial picture of your completed Job. You must see in your mind's -eye a beautiful and safe highway, with farmers, doctors, school children, mail carrier and all types and kinds of business representatives using these roads (or tne nenents of their Individual businesses. You must visualize these people using these roads in a happy, contented frame of mind. Behind all this you want to know that the fruits of your labors mean greater happi ness, richer and more prosperous living to those folks who use your road. : , From every indication. believe that you have done your work as to Webster's , two - and three definitions in a fine and creditable wayJ What about the fifth definition given us as de fining an engineer.

It will take courage and nerve to follow through . on the things that we should do. But: we should remember that things worth while do not. come without extra effort on someone's part.

What would nave been If every one had Joined with him In helping him Instead of trying to hinder! I leave you to answer that question. Bringing our discussion to a county district level. With the many improvements that have come to us from a state level, we are now in a most favorable posi tion' to . continue this great work on a -county level, bringing more benefits, more - happiness, more riches to our people. Duplin County and Southeastern North Carolina , Is predominately Agricultural. " Consequently tur thinking should be along the lines of solving the farmer's problems. In the olden days the fanner lived on his farm and used the products of his labors for his living. . It took him and nine more fellow farmers to feed themselves and one non-tf arming family,. Today one farmer can feed himself and family plus nine more non-farming fami lies. 'This trend has been in evi dence for several years and is oc casioned by greatly Improved meth ods of .. farming plus mechanical labor, so now the farm income in our county has to be divided Into Alone with boir thinking of mak ing Jobs through industry for our aumkis labor, we must also think bout our farmers and their pro blems. There are many things that we can do for them that will make life easier and more profit able. One thine that comes to my mind most frequently is tne drain ing of North East River. That river ia so filled up with sand bars and deb res that hlch water overflows the low lands of our county and encroches on the higher lands to the extent mat tne drainage ox ine highlands is a definite orooiem The Chamber of Commerce of Winston Salem realizes the lm- nortanee of the farmer. They have an agricultural department along with their industrial department. forever making plans and study ing the problems of .the farmer. This department is headed by Mr. Neil Bolton, wno once was agri cultural agent for the T'.de Water Power Co. If Winston Salem, with it's highly Industrialized section considers agriculture a dominat ing factor in their economic life, don't you think that we, in a most pure ; agricultural section should show more interest and concern over the fanner? That is exactly governor to launch bis road, school, 100 manv shares, which means that welfare and other public benefit "ul VI programs of the state. But he had that idea, and that ideal. He vis loned happiness, contentment and prosperity for his fellow citizens of North Carolina ; He' struck out on an uncharted road. Opposition was rampart. ; Jealousy and Envy created tremendous opposition. But today, three years after he started his program, we see the wisdom of QUESTION: When should shrubs and seedlings be set out? ; answer: Joan M. Harris, ex-: tension horticultural specialist at State College, says any time be tween now and tne last, of Mircn is a aood time to do transplanting. Pick out a day when the soil isn't too wet. If your plants arrive when the sou is wet or frozen, keep tnem outdoors, open she package and oile soil, sawdust, or sand around the roots and keep tua moist until they can be planted. QUESTION: How much butterfat must a dairy cow produce each year to be profitable for her own er? v.--:, ANSWER: A summary of Dairy Herd Improvement Association re cords for 1950 shows that a dairy cow must be a high producer if she is to make money for her owner. The cow producing 200 pounds of butterfat for the year returned only $126 above feed cost as com pared to $274 returned by the ani mal producing 300 pounds of but terfat. When production increased to 400 pounds, the return above feeds. 3. Cut coats by culling out low- producing cows while beef prices are nigh and xeea scarce Because of the 199 ldraugbt S. Breed as many heifers and cows as d radical during the Nov ember-January peried to make milk production more uniform through out the year. 4. Use bulls for high production. This can be done at small expense through the artificial breeding pro gram. -VV-, . 9. Keep milk quality high by fol lowing the practices of good sani tation. Maintain herd beaitn through efficient management.

It further means that these young boys and girls on our farms will be seeking other locations to live in and to help build up. It means that Duplin County and other agricultural counties will be denied the brains state' departments; we can draw that one purpose.

When we realize that the fathers and mothers of our county spend an average of $20,000 each on their children's ec location from the first grade through college, we can begin to realize the dollar loss to us when these same boys and girls leave us to go into other locales, i So don't you think it behooves us to do some tall thinking about improving the economic condition of our people? ' There Is much to be done and all of us qualify as engineers under definition 5 to promote a better ano nappier state. One of the first things tbat should enter our minds is a nlan to put to work thousands of our people, giving them honest and de sireTe work to supplement the in come irom tneir fathers farms. At this time, thousands of dif- terent. towns and counties of the south are bidding against each other for factories. North Caro lina with her 100 counties is in the midst of this bidding. Competition Is keen and the water is cold. But when we look about us and see what we have to offer, we even suipnse ourselves at tne many wings inai are very manly attract ive to proapectlves. The only thing help from them that will enable us to . emerge irom our letnergy and place us in a comparative posi tion with other more prosperous counties. This council has the op portunity to remake Duplin County. The men that are oenind it are some of the most prominent citi zens of the county, but they need more help, more backing and more encouragement. The uupnn coun cil will succeed. How fast they go forward depends on how much support they receive from the mass es. The men behind this council realize that they have a hard Job, From this," say the specialists, we may expect an increased re turn of more than $1 for each pound of butterfat Increase. By increasing the production of our cows we can increase our returns." QUESTION: What is the out look for dairy products In 1952? ANSWER: Prices for dairy pro ducts are expected to be moderate ly to materially higher this year. mere will ne a further shift in a consumer demand for butter fluid milk, toe cream, and cheese.

M. Covington, horti cultural specialist for the State College Extension Service. The variety is recommended in North Carolina for use by home gardeners and for trial plantings on a commercial scale. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture, which released the new snap bean recently, describe it as "out standing in productiveness and ap pearance." It matures 54 days after planting and bears over a long season, a characteristic that appeals to home gardeners. Other favorable characteristics include resistance to major bean diseases, superior quality, low fiber content, and ability to ship well and to retain freshness. The nearly round pods of the Wade snapbean are dark green and the color remains through blanch ing. This makes the variety suit able for U. S. fancy frozen pack. Seed are the color of port wine. Pods are stringless. After harvest the new bean does not wilt nearly so rapidly as the other commer cial varieties. The variety has been widely test ed by USDA's Vegetable Breeding Laboratory in cooperation with agricultural experiment stations of the Southern states and with com mercial producers and seedsmen. - stetweaaatattt Far WARSAW FLC2AL COMPANY WAIU H.

The circulars, prepared by Tobac co Specialists R. R. Bennett and S. N. Hawks with the assistance of Entomologist T. M. Dobrovaky and Plant Pathologist H. R. Gar rlss, cover such topics as loca tion of plant bed, water supply, weed control, fertilization, covering the bed, and control of insects, blue mold, and wildfire. 'Bennett and Hawks suggest that growers seed sufficient yardage to insure a pltntlful supply of strong plants .avoid over-fertilizing, apply water when needed, protect the plant bed from flooding toy ditching around the edges, and follow rec ommended practices for control of diseases and Insects.
