COUNTY AGENT AT WORK

Club Agent J. NJ. Feltner and
County Agent Earl Mayhem held ten
farmers meetings last week at the
following places: Davis Bend, Swan
Pond, Logan Gap, Upper Little
Brush Creek, Lower Little Brush
Creek, Coal Port, Artemus. Hi-Land
Park, Callahan and Smoky. They
carried a stereoptican and gave IL
Illustrated talks on Lime, Fertilizer
Crops, Live Stock, Poultry, Fruit
Growing and the Junior Agricultur-
al work. They had an average at
tendance of sixty people to each of
these meetings which shows that the
people are interested in better farm
ing.
The most interesting meeting was
held at Logan Gap where two humid
red people attended at night to hear
the lecture, see the pictures, and to
cheer the boys and girls who recciv-
ed Certificates of Merit from the Tn
iversity of Kentucky for the excellent
work they did in the Club Work last
year. There were thirty Certificates
of Merit awarded the thirty boys and
girls who belonged to the Club last
year. The Logan Gap Club now has
one hundred and seventy-three mem
bers and every one of them is on
thusiastic as can be to finish their
Club work and receive these Certi~
ficates of Merit next year.
Other Clubs were organized and it
is hoped that they will grow as did
the Logan Gap Club. The County
now has about five hundred Club
members enrolled and many more
boys and girls are expected to en-
roll soon.

NO STRIKE IN BUILDING
FEARED BY NEW HAVEN
Workers Not Believed Able to
Stand Ne,O Fight.

NEW HAvES, March 30.-Thc belief is
growing that there will be no strike in
tie building trades when the present
working agreements expire within a few
weeks. The master builders have threat
ened to make q wage cut OF 20 to %
per cent. While the men are unwilling
to accept il, their funds have been ex-
hausted BY strikes. and high rents and
other living costs will force them to re-
main at work, according to this opinion
Members Of tn. union committee APP
pointed at 4 recent conference OF build
ing trades of Connecticut to meet with
employers have pledged themselves 10 do
everything they can to prevent a strike.
The housing situation is getting ma
terially worse. There appears TO be no
relief and rents are climbing out OF the
worlSingmaas rcach. lcrcments that
once brought SIS a month are Eow rent
ing for $40 and $50 This situation. il is
felt. is the direct result Of the 5ong con
tinued feud between the builders and
the workers. The opinion is growing on
both sides thai it is time TO call halt
and patch up an amicable agreement
and boom construction.
