acreage as here to fore. In many of |
the tobacco counties of the state fam
ers are organizing dairy associations
and taking up dairying and cutting out
the tobacco. Taking it all over the
dairying has paid in the last year and |
will continue TO pay. The little cream
check coming in each week TO the
farmer Though il be little) helps to
meet the every day needs and in our
own county in the valley land dairy
ing can be made very successful un.
dertaking. Where farmers are Coop
Grating and working together in
community it has proved very sue
ccsstul to them. In every community
there should be Farmers Club where
they could meet once month with
their neighbors and discuss the needs
and improvements of their commune
w. Every other profession is under
organization but the farmers and yet
they are beginning to see the good
obtained and in many counties and
states they now have their organi-
cations. Farming is business and a
profession and why not treat it so. As
n general rule the farmer can not take
up an entirely new crop to demon
strate its value but he can make this
demonstration on a small scale. In
our own county many farmers have
done this and will continue to do so
BY this means of test they are con-
WINGED one way or the other. Along
the line of cooperation the farmers i'm
the county are cooperating to GER
tain extent while they have the coop
Grafton of all the school teachers, the
business men, the banks, the County
paper etc. The teachers are helping
with community work in their dis
tricts, with Boys and Girls Club work
and various other things. The teach
err should be an asset to any commu-
NIFTY where they teach. The business
men are dependent on the farmer and
they realize this and want to see the
farmer prosper and are ready to give
their assistance in any way they can.
me banks in the county are ready to
loan money without interest to boys
and girls to buy pure bred eggs and
pigs etc. to encourage them I'm their
work Tor they see the results in the
form of better live stock, better boys
and girls who have greater desire to
stay on the farm and ali of this makes
their business grow and tends to make
better place in which to live. The
county paper is constant source of
help and service TO the county and its
people. Ii should be i'm every home in
the county because it is a part of the
county, belonging to the people. The
man who reads is the man who knows.
knowledge is power
Today the state of Kentucky has
something better than $1,000 boys and
girls enrolled i'm the different projects
OF Club Work, such as: raising pigs.
calves, sheep. poultry, field crops, gar
den crops, sewing, canning and num-
bers of other things. Our own county
has more than 400 of thest boys and
girls enrolled for 1921. Through the
work of these boys and girls in the past
we lind pure bred poultry, pigs, sheep
and various other things and not only
have they started something worth
while but their fathers and mothers
have taken it up, so today we have
some good pure bred live stock over
the county. The demand for pure
bred eggs and pigs will be great this
spring and many are asking about
them now wanting to get lined up and
ready for work. This year besides the
? County Agri cultural and School Fair
these boys and girls will hold camp
+ Tor one week where they will have the
best time of their lives. There is also
being planned at the present time a
community and school fair in every
school district To be held few DAYS
previous to the county fair. In this
way every one will have chance 10
cooperate and by SO doing will be OF
: greater service to the county. All OF
: this means work but after all what is
accomplished unless we work. Our
county is not the best county, neither
is il the worstin the state. Rome was
not built in day, neither will we have
the best of roads, the best of schools,
