intensive farming and the full de-
Velopmeat of farmers interests. He
held that a want of knowledge and
haphazard methods were largely re-
Sponsible for the lack of interest in
farm life. Schools in the country
were needed and he urged a little
more taxes be put on by the farmers
for their own interests. Agriculture
he held to be advancing, and its in
terests We're being enhanced by good
roads, by telephone systems, by free
rural delivery routes and with these
advantages we will not want to move
to town for we have thus moved the
town to the country.
He held that the farmers were the
least educated of all men, and that
Tor this reason he could not take adj
vantage of agricultural papers unless
he were better educated. He insisted
that love and enthusiasm for the work
was necessary in the young man if
they would make the best farmers,
and that it was a happy sign for them
that on August the second Ctoday) the
bids of the contractors for the new
Agricultural building of the A. and
M. college would be opened, as it
marked the beginning of new era
for the young man who would study
agriculture.
In the education to be obtained in
such institutions he said these was the
best thing for the boy who would farm
and argued that the State could well
afford to educate such a one free if
he would agree to go home and work
for some years on the farm. eff
my boy with such training is not able
to make q success then | have him
become a professional man or a poll
tician (Much laughter.)A
In closing, Mr.. Scott paid a tribute
to North Carolina. and its native
born population, holding that it was
equal to all the demands made upon
it, and that being the equal of any
in the world it was capable of being
as highly developed as any. He de-
clared that the outlook was bright in
agricultural lines in North Carolina,
and urged that progress be made the
watchword and that the farmers go
forward with valiant hearts on their
work.
For To-Day.

Burkett, who outlined the work for

that then there would be a visit to
