for meat and egg production.
The work with certified seed po-
tatoes is not only developing the
seed potato industry for the county
but it is through the methods of ham
ding, fertilization and cultivation,
having large influence on the pro-
duction of table stock potatoes both
in quality and quantity.
Farmers who have never attempt
ed to grow seed potatoes are growing
more bushels per acre because OF
high grade potatoes because. of the
fact that they are giving the subject
more thought.
The kraut factory is working its
way into the market. By reducing
the cost of manufacture, lessening
the waste, by securing commodity
freight rates and by the production
and canning of kraut that is of the
highest quality in every way, the
business promiled to develop into
large and profitable market for
the farmers cabbage. This, like any
other industry, could not develop
all at once but has to develop by de-
grees working out it's problems one
by one but the progress that has been
made so far gives promise for a sue
cessful future.
These and many other lines of
work are being carried on to the
end that the farming may be more
profitable. The soil is the basis of
all work and must be fertile if the
crops or livestock are to eturn the
maximum profit.
Since the eye seems to be the
most direct avenue to the brain the
method of teaching by means of local
visible demonstrations has been de-
veloped. For the same reason the
Watauga County Agent has added
motion picture machine to his eq-
uipment so that the actual visible dem
onstration can be placed before the
masses of the people. Many who are
not sufficiently interested to travel
several miles to see a good piece of
work done along some line, will go
seek further information and be-
come demonstrator himself.
Seventy six counties out of the
100 in North Carolina have county
agents. In each of the counties de-
finite program has been worked out
between the county agen and the
people to meet the greater needs of
the county an. state. A definite
group of people in every county in
are assisting in making the program
as useful as possible in bringing
about improved farm practices and
improving rural conditions and the
prosperity of the county and state.

1t would be hard to find buster

the past week. The registration of
students is at a high water mark.
there being at this writing 636 on
roll, as fine student body to all
appearances as ever registered in this
or any college. The great mass of the
students were registered on the first
day OF the term, beginning on Tues
day the second, and classes began re
gularly on Wednesday, and the work
is running smoothly, save for some
classes which were so large that thew
mad to be arranged in sections and
additional teachers employed to meet
the situation. At the faculty meeting
on the 9th the fact was immersed
upon the teachers by President Dou-
gherty that they should emphasize
department, judgment and common
sense, as well as credits, and that
this important fact must be realized
by all the student body. Prof. Dou-
gherty was delighted to express his
impression that there is a verv high
type of students here, and it is gen.

take the lead in thoughtfulness. 70

fruit, berries and all kinds of truck
crops. Even tho this section is we'll
suited to the above, the section is
just in it's infancy from the stand
point of development. This is largely
due to the fact tn at timber, and in
some sections roots and herbs and
minerals, have furnished an occupa-
ton for the inhabitants. Since the
natural resources are becoming ex-
hausted there is need for developing
the resources of the farms.
At present the problem facing us
is one of increasing the production
of certain crops, of certain types of
livestock, of certain fruits and truck
crops; increasing in sufficient guam
tity in every community to insure
enough to ship, in car lots, after sup
plying the home demand; improving
the method of growing, packing and
marketing
To bring about these conditions it
is necessary to employ definite sys-
tenn in orde that we may reach and
teach the fundamental principles in
building up a great system agri-
culture in Watauga county. AS far
as is possible the County agent is
following the definite demonstration
as a means of translating scientific
knowledge into a practical app''ca-
ton on the farm. Since there are over
1000 farmers in Watauga county is
not possible for the agent to con-
duct demonstrations along the var
ious lines on every farm or even to
visit every farm; therefore the agent
puts it up to each community inter-
ested to select the farmer and the
farm where the demonstration will
be of the greatest benefit to the COM
munity as a whole. Field meetings
and meetings at the school houses
in the communities are held to as
sist the other members Of the COM
munties to profit by the teaching
brought out by the demonstration.
The dairy work is being develop
ed around the cheese factories. The
chief method of improving the grade
of cattle MIXED is by the use of good
sires. Within the last few months
many have been brought in, also the
dairymen are buying goodly num-
Der of puebred cows and heifersi and
trades. The growing of the necessary
feeds on the home farm is an assem-
tial part of the demonstration and
it is encouraging to note that aefw
farmers are making definite at
tempt to do this.
The work with the poultry is being
done on the same definite basis u.s.
ing the standard home flock Of from
/ 80 to 200 hens as good maxim to
work to, The important poultry work
for Watauga County is not to dev-
eIop commercial poultry men but to
improve the breeding and the condi-
tons surrounding the farm flock.
The program includes the proper bree
ding, feeding, housing and culling

BOONE'S BIGGEST ASSET

The following is taken from a re-
cent issue of the Winston-Salem
Journal:
The eyes of the state are on Boone.
Recently the news came of the COM
pletion of splendid new hotel in
that mountain center. This hotel is
destined to be a tremendous aset to
that community, because Boone is at
present one of the most easily acces-
sible points in the mountains of the
State west of the Blue Ridge. It is
true that the town has no railroad
connection with Piedmont and East
ern North Carolina. But it now has
two of as fine highways to the east
as the State affords.
But Boone's biggest asset is not
its hotels. Roone's greatest asset is
coming to be one of the biggest things
in Northwest North Carolina, and for
that matter in the whole state. It
is million dollar plant for the train
ing of school teachers.
President B. B. Dougherty of the
Appalachian State Normal School of
Boone spent few hours in Winston
Salem this week. We learned from
him that the institution he heads has
made remarkable progress in the last
three years. Few people realize that
this college for teachers now has a
plant that cost million dollars and
is worth a great deal more than that.
And still fewer DEAN that when the
summer school for teachers opens in
June there will be teachers there
from no less than rs of the one hun
cred counties in North Carolina.
Over five hundred thousand dollars
nave been invested in buildings at the
Appalachian State Nrrmal School in
the last three years. This brings the
total value of the buildings up to one
million dollars. Last year the school
drew students from seventy counties
in North Carolina. President Dough-
erty says the institution will draw
students from every county in the
State, and from every state in the
South. The school is already crowded
for the summer school which opens

SUPT. HAGAMAN OUTLINES GROWTH
OF WATAUGA COUNTY INSTITUTIONS
Education Throughout the County On
Steady Incline, According to the
Report of Educational Official

The public schools of Watauga Co.
nave been run with two things con-
stantly in view-first the progress
ana development of schools and of
school facilities within the limit O
reasonable taxation, and second. that
the citizens opinion shall be treated
with great Difference always.
The last quarter of a century has
seen very great changes, going from
a term of three months to six months
and In numbers o schools an eight
months term, in many cases untrain-
ed and poorly educated teachers to
much better prepared teachers. At
that time we spent for public educa-
ton but little more than $4,000. This
year we shall spend about $4,000.
OF which amount the state will do
nate $4,000.
There has grown a strong demand
TOR larger schools, better buildings
and especially high school facilities
to take care of the rapidly increasing
numbers of boys and girls who are
completing the free school course,
In order o meet these require
ments the board of education has
made number of consultations un-
der the law providing for a county
wide consolidation. These consolida-
tions will be worked out as the roads
finances and other conditions will per
nit.
One of the larger consultations
known as the Stony Fork Consolidat-
ed School will be worked out this year
The building is now under construc
ton and will be ready for use by
Aug. Is. This is modern six room
building with an auditorium that will
seat 500 people. This consolidation
will take care of five districts.
The people Of Stony Fork are to
be congratulated upon the progress
i've movement and the fine spirit be-
hind it.
The high school students of the
county are being taken care of in
two standard high schools and four
junior high schools. Instead of build,
ing more high schools at present and
perhaps for number of years the
board of education has figured that
it is better much cheaper
to provide where practicable, trans
portation to schools already built.
The board has bought three school
trucks that will be used this year,
one of these trucks will carry high
school students from the state line
over the Boone Trail Highway to the
Cove Greek High School. One will run
from the Wilkes county line to Boone
for the same purpose. This truck
will pick up a small school on the
way apd thereby eliminate the price
OF a teacher and school building.
The County superintendent of
Schools has so arranged the elemen-
tary schools that each teacher follows
weekly schedule worked out in ev-
cry grade covering the same amount
of work in each school every year.
