X/—\ MITCHELL COUNTY hS \ EXTENSION OFFICE By Mrs. Joyce McKinney Extension Aide I am working with thirty four program families and six non- program families, visiting them at least once a month. The needs and requests of the homemaker determine what field we work in. I recognize the lace of a balanced diet as a major problem. I have demonstra ted the preparation of meals to several Emilies which provide good nutrition. In all demonstrations of cooking and other food pre paration, I keep in mind limited budgets and alsoise low cost items. A casserole made with hamburger and macaroni has proved to be a success. The Agency provides typed recipes for distribution when a demonstration on cooking is given. I find that most of these families are eager to learn new and betterways to feed and clothe their fa milies, These families en joy the nutrition lessons I give on the four basic foods, and how to stretch their food dollaß to feed their familia cheaper, although not sacri ficing any nutrition. The ladies that are learn ing sewing are so proud of their new skill and the gar ments they have made,that they are now making cur tains for their home. I now have invitations to meet in homes where little interest was shown when our program was started. ★ By Mr*. Juanita Gouge I have been working as an Extension Program Aide for two and one half months. I really do enjoy it, became I like to help p® pie. I have met and worked with all my program families and visited several non-program familia. I have also added nine new program families. During my work I have had several new experiences, one in particu lar I would like to tell about. One young mother of five children has impressed me very much. I helped her Mitchell’s Citizen Os The Week Charles S. Baker was bom in Bakersville on December 18, 1915, the son of George M, Baker and Eleanor Teagro Baker. There were four children In this family, the other three besides Charles being girls whose married names are now Mb. Mary Morgan, Mb. Louise Fergus on and Mb. Lucille Kirby. Eleanor Teague was not a native of Bakenville, big came here from Chatham County, N.C. in 1911 when her brother, R. T. Teague was principal of Mitchell College Institute. Mr. Baker started to chcol in Bakersville in the early 1920'5. The first year he went to what was then call ed the "Free School". This building was located on a hill just above White Oak Road. The rooms were di vided by curtains. There was a water bucket with a dipper on the table and someone had to go down to the spring every now and then. According to Charles, who has a good memory of his early school yeas, "We only went to this school one year, as the state bought the Mitchell Collie Institute the next year and the rest of our schooling was at the high school down where the present buildings are lo cated. A few of our favorite teacheß through the yeaß were Mb. Florence Phillips, Ma. Mertie Dale, MB.Clara Lambert and Miss Ruby Was som. And of course, when we got to high school we had Miss Helen Mcßee and Mb. Cerena P. Yelton." Charles graduated from with a Western Style Noodle Casserole dish consisting of macaroni, tomatoes, ham burger, onion and sauce. She liked this meat extendervery much. Later I visited her again and she told me she had really been using the recipe I gave her in many different ways. She had only a small amount of the com modity chopped me at and knew it would not serve five children, her husband and heßelf. So she took this meat, added onion, macaroni, a little milk, tomatoes and cheese and made a dish large enough to s erve her whole family. ft is with families like these that progress can be made, I feel, if we are will ing to work and try hard enough. sous SSfly ADS .....

Baker the Appalachian State Teach eß College in Boone in the spring of 1942 and entered the Army where he served four yean in the Signal Corps. Two of these years were spent in Iceland. After the War Charles re turned home where he has worked ever since. Besides his duties at the Baker Lum ber Company, he has a farm and a sizable herd of white face cattle so there is always plenty of work to be done. One of Charles' hobbies has been working on the fa - mily history. Some of it has already been published in "The Rugged Trail" by Elma W. Baker of Dallas, Texas, ft is impossible to get the his tory of one family without getting into the history of a dozen or more families be cause the old families that settled here around 1800 or before have all married back and forth several times. Es pecially Is this true with the Bakeß, Wisemons,Buchanans and Young and McKinneys. Charles is the great-grat grandson of David Baker, the first settler in Bakesville. Since the family has been in Bakersville almost 200 years, a good many old documents and pnpes have fallen in to his possession. He has the fist deed for land in Ba kemville. A deed for 400 acres made in 1778 and a deed for 100 acres joining it in 1799 and another for 300 acres in 1798. Thus David Baker owned at least 800 acres in Bakesville. This land was mostly divided be tween his children in the 1800's before his death. Most of this land was bought by Robert N. Penland who later gave the land the city far the courthouse and built the Penland House which was later known as Young's Hotel. Another item of ixterest which Charles has is an old Ledger Book which came out of an old store or trading post run by David D. Baker in 1830. It contains the names of almost everyone living in the valley at that time. Store accounts were paid by feathers, hides, brandy, com or most any thing a man happened to have. Another project has been restoring the home of his grandmother in Bakesville. This house was built by John G. Heap, one of the big mica miners who came iito town in the early 1870's. The Mitchell Ledger proudly names Mr. Charles Baker our Citizen of the Week. Extension Pruning Notes By David E. Terrell Extension Agent Now is the time to start improving the quality of ap ples to be picked in the fall of 1972. One way to do this is by pruning correctly. Every variety of apple tree requires just a little dif ferent pruning practice be cause of fruiting habits of each variety. Factoß that affect pruning arc:the am't fertilizer applied, spraying equipment to be used and the variety to be pruned. When a tree is heavywith fruit buds pruning can be done on a heavier scale. This practice helps reduce the load of apples on the tree and lets the tree produce fruit buds for the following year and keeps the tree from breaking due to a heavy crop. Since the fruit(apple) trees had a heavy crop this past year a moderate arrount of pruning should be done . Keep in mind not to "mule Sy HIGHWAY 19- E BY-PASS BURNSVILLE, N. C. W M J T.
