county to come together and work
out an organization to develop g
larger agriculture for their county
and a richer and fuller life not only
for the rural sections but for the
county as a whole. The farmers OF
this section realize that they have
passed the pioneer stage of farming
and hat not even a farmer with his
flocks and herds can live to himself
alone, but rather that we are all a
part of greater community life, and
that we must each contribute to the
success of the other man and the
other interests if we would really live,
and do the most for ourselves, our
county, state and our nation. Breed
ers of livestock have realized this
within their groups, and have been
organizing for their mutual benefits.
Blount county as a whole has felt
the need of a closer working basis,
and has seen fit to employ County
and Home Demonstration Agents to
keep in touch with the various parts
of the county and to help as far as
possible to unity efforts, and thus
foster bigger agriculture.
Now, the time has come when we
need closer working organization.
Not for the work of destruction, but
for the work of construction. We
have a growing number of county
wide interests which need our COM
bined efforts to make succeed, and
their success means the greater sue
cess of the county and other inter
ests. We need an organization WHICH
will help to plan constructive wc~k
along the lines of soil Improvement,
education, health and santa ion,
livestock development, etc. Such
an organization is now in the process
of formation in Blount County.
Since July, there has been Temper
ary Council of Agricul ure in Blount
county, ard the organization made
possible the Stocker and Feeder Cat
tie Sale put on Oct. l. Now, the
leaders in the Temporary Council feel
tina. as far as this county is concern
ed, the organization has already
proven it's merit, and that the only
thing to do is to start the machinery
to going to make the organization
permanent, and to enlarge its scope
50 tina. it will be broad enough in its
foundation to take in the interests of
the county, and include in its men,
bership any and all who have love for
Blount county and real desire 70
help make it what it ought to be
agriculturally, educationai1y, in point
of health and especially in community
rural development.
Saturday afternoon twelve repre-
farmers of Blount county
came together and subscribed and
paid their membership due of three
dollars for one year and promised for
,wo years in advance, $500 for each
