For the first time in the agricul tural history of Cleveland county a dairy herd has been named the best producer in its class in the state of North Carolina.

Mr. Kennedy has had several classes of adults, from young to old, and ranging the entire scale of oc cupations from mill workers, farm ers. technicians and housewives. His report in part says: "My rural class I found to be farmers who seemed to have just one object in coming to school, that j was to learn more arithmetic. The cotton reduction program of the government made farmers every where aware of their need for more education. Som farmers in my com munity, who had heretofore taken the attitude that a farmer didn’t have much need for an education except to be able to read ahd write, have changed their opinions. A cotton farmer now must sign con tracts with the government to re duce his acreage a certain percent. He is greatly handicapped if he is unable to read and understand the provisions of the different contracts. 1 concentrated on what I thought was the greatest need of this group. I We studied spelling, reading, and,' most of all, arithmetic. Later, we | got prices of ready mixed fertili zers and prices of the different in gredients. As a result of our cal culations, we found that a farmer can mix his own fertilizer and save more than enough to pay for the extra work of mixing. “Most of the farms in the ce*p munity had a few cedar trees on them.
