Governor O. Max Gardner has set In motion plans for a series of practical demonstrations of the feasibility of growing food for North Carolinians within North Carolina. The first demonstration will he a luncheon to be given by the gover nor and Mrs. Gardner at the exe cutive mansion, at which memre.-s of the council of state and their wives will assist in entertaining and nt which the 200 guests will be rep resentatives of all the newspapers In North Carolina. The luncheon (has been tentatively set for Tues day. December 17, but may be shift ed to some other day of the week. Mrs. Jane McKlmmon, state I’.mdj demonstration agent, has been re quested by the governor to ake charge of this luncheon, the only stipulation being that every Item on the menu and all of the decorations shall be North Carolina products. Winter vegetables, pickles and oth er articles which can be grown ard manufactured in North Carolina, but which are usually imported from other states will be featured at this luncheon. This luncheon, by which he hopes to enlist the Interest and co-opcrn tion of all the papers of the state, lhe weeklies as well as the -ladles, is only the starter in the governor s program of demonstrations. The luncheon here will be followed oy u request from the governor of each civic club and each other organisa tion in North Carolina, wlllcn serves meals at its meetings, to demonstra tion. Each local organization will be requested to feature the products of its own county, securing such foods ns may be necessary to make a well balanced meal from other counties in the state, but under no circum stances going without the boun daries of the state for either food or decorations. Except that milk will be the drink and there will be no sugar; the gov ernor is confident that MTs. McKim mon will not only be able to nro vlde a "well-balanced meal" tor his guests, but will find herself with an embarrassment of riches from which to select her menu. The luncheon at the mansion will not be an occasion of speech-mak ing, but the governor will probably avail himself of the opportunity to explain his whole agricultural pro gram, with the progress of which he is much pleased.
