Make Necessary Appropriation
District Manager Millsas Puts
Matter Before the Board Sixty
Five Counties Have Work Going
n. V
There is a strong probability that
Gaston county may Inaugurate the
farm demonstration work under the
direction of the United states de
partment of Agriculture, as it is
now being carried on in sixty-five of
the 1(10 counties in the State. In
terest in this matter was renewed
yesterday by a visit to the city of
Mr. K. S. Millsaps, of Statesville. dis
trict manager of the farm demon
&fation work for the western half
of North Carolina.
At J:::n o'clock ve-'erday after
noon Mr. Millsaps nn't the hoard of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce and presented the matter to
them. At the contusion of the con
ference the hoard unanimously
adopted a resolution eml.it sing the
proposition and recommending that
the county com m issionei s appropri
ate the amount needed for this work,
namely plim per year. A committee
consisting of President. T. I., (raiir.
Secretat.v A Lloyd and Judge A.
C. Jones, was appointed to accoinpa
71 y Mr. Millsap ai:d ina'-e the roiuest
of the commissioners for the appro
priation. This was done. No action
was taken at esterday's session hut
the board lias the matter under con
sideration and there is good reason
to believe that the appropriation will
bo mad.
The liepart ment of Agriculture ap
propriates the sum of $ mi for this
work pro ided the count v furnishes
the remainijig jilim. I'rder the pro
visions of the Love l,ii. which was
passed by Congress orilv a few weeks
ago. $10.0(10 mo'i' is available for
this worl in North Carolina.
That the farm demonstration work
has handsomely paid those counties
in North Carolina and in other
States as well which have adopted
it. needs no argument to prove, says
Mr. Millsaps. The facts and figures
constitute all the argument that Is
necessary. In 1 v.". ft. said Mr. Mill
saps. North Carolina produced f!".
00(i. (hiii bushels of corn. It took .Mi
years, or until limit, to raise that
production to I! I .ihi u ,u un. Since
100ft. (he years, under the farm de
monstration system of instruction
the farmers of North Carolina in
creased the production to iiimi,.
(mil. an iio rease of '1 1 .000. 000 hush
els in live vears. more than five
times the increase gained in the pre
vious .'it' years.
Cnder the farm demonstration
system Virginia last year built over
I. 1 silos, started l.loo dairies
and II' creameries, all of which are
now in successful operation.
Last year a Buncombe county far
mer produced more than in. (inn
pounds of bay on an acre at the first
cutting. In i number of other coun
ties splendid h i roduction records
were made in this on im't ion Mr.
Millsaps said that tUe history oT
agriculture showed tlia' no country
in the wo' 1,1 h il eve- " o-iiorcil
wh ! h il 1 ' r ise it'.- a r i I live
stock. Il l.-. a! - .1 true nr. Hon py
history that no coui.fr in the
world has e er prospered which ' on
lined itself to one crop :t the South
has done in the n, alter ,,f cotton Tn
some parts and tobaci o in others.
North Carol ina fa mers nn grow

the farmers of Iowa, vet they send

as well as any other State in the Un
ion but not on hay that we pay $20
a ton for. We can produce ensilage
Ht $4 to $"i a ton and false all the
livestock the State consumes.
Mr. Millsaps gave many statistics
to prove that the farm demonstration
work is one of the greatest things
the South has ever undertaken and
his talk impressed those who heard
him most favorably.
