Continued from page one)
farm people of this state great
er program than has ever before
been attempted at a convention.
Perhaps the best way for the
farmers and others in Henderson
county TO show their appreciation
for the work that Mr.. Mckay is
doing for agriculture in this coun-
ty and for the state is to go to
Raleigh with him for this great
convention over which he will pre-
side. know that he is anxious to
have as many Of his own county
farmers as possible go with him.
Mack has worked constantly in
this county for a better agriCui-
ture. 1t has been due to this un-
selfish work on his part that he
has been chosen for the honors
which have come to him and indi-
rectly to the county which he
represents.
Now, we have an opportunity
to show him and the people of
this state that we appreciate his
services by going with him down
to Raleigh in a large body and
holding up his hands as he directs
the work of the convention. He
would appreciate this more than
anything else. Every man and
woman who will go down for the
convention will come back home
with a new vision of the agricul-
ture and the agricultural people
of this state. They will find them
selves doing more things in a COM
munity way and entering into the
public life Of the community and
county in many ways that they
had not dreamed of before. 1t
will fit them for larger service.
An effort is being made ut this
time to interest several people
who have tive-passenger cars to
take their cars and go to the con-
vention carrying three or four
people with them. Those who go
should be willing to pay the own
er of the car three or four dol
lars, so that the total amount for
one car would pay for the gaso-
line and oil for the trip. Several
of our business and professional
men and women will be interested
in the convention. They could be
of much assistance in working out
this plan to get as many to go
from Henderson county as posi-
BILE. Many farmers also have five.
passenger cars and they can make
parties in their own communities
in some instances.
The train OF bus fare for the
round trip to Raleigh would be
several times the amount required
by this plan.
The college dormitories will be
open to those attending the con-
vention. These are clean and airy
and furnish an excellent place to
spend the time. No charge will be
made for the rooms during the
convention. Meals will be served
at rs cents each at the college
cafeteria. BY taking advantage Of
these arrangements the necessary
expense of the trip will be very
small.
This will be one of the greatest
meetings for farmers that will be
held anywhere in the United
States this year. 1t is a great OPP
portunity and an opportunity for
those who have never attended to
visit the capital Of their own
state and to see much of the state
Oh the trip.
Everyone who is interested
should call Mr.. Mckay or the
Chamber Of Commerce and state
whether he or she has car avail
able. Please do this just as early
as possible. If you do not have a
car and wish to go with someone
whom you know, please make that
known also.
