was set up on a voluntary basis
designated to encourage the carry
ing out Of soil conservation practices
and crop adjustment programs.
More Help Added.
During these latter years the
work of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration became so
heavy on the county agent that his
duties in connection with the regu-
lar phases Of the office had to be
neglected. Boys Ali CLUB work
was completely abandoned for the
time being, and terracing work
which had been outstanding in the
county could not be carried on.
The increase in the normal duties
OF the office, together with the need
Tor carrying on the other phases of
the work that had been established,
made 1t necessary that some pro-
vision be made for additional help
in the work, and in 1896, M. Ed
mund Aycock was appointed assist
ant county agent and served for a
little more than a year, when he
was transferred to Johnston county
as county All Club agent, and JUL
ian I. Richardson was appointed in
December, 1897, as his successor.
The duties of the assistant agent are
principally directing the work Of
the county terracing unit and con-
Quoting All Club work with the
boys Of the county.
Taught in Schools.
The Congress of the United States
has recognized the growing impor-
tance Of educational work among
the farmers Of the nation, and in
creased facilities have been added
for carrying the work forward.
Early provision was made for teach
ing agriculture in the rural schools
under the vocational agriculture
set-up, and George B. Blum was
appointed vocational agriculture
teacher for the Farm Life School at
Mlddleburg in the early twenties.
and his duties were later extended
to cover the Charles B. Aycock
nigh school. His work among the
boys and their parents for the past
sixteen years has been worth much
to the county. AS we all know. Mr..
Blum is still very much on the lob
at the Middleburg school, where
the increased demand for his SER
vices takes his full time.
Farmers Can Buy Own Farms.
More recently provisions have
been made for the rehabilitation of
farm families who, for various rea-
sons, have found themselves with
out adequate equipment and credit
for carrying on their normal occu-
pation-farming-but who still have
tne ambition to get another start in
lie. The Farm Security Admins
tratlon, which has served under
several names since its beginning
IN 1884, now has a staff of four
workers, headed by I. w. Day, coun-
" supervisor, permanently workin.

Education Program
Among The Farmers
Was Begun In 1914

Continued From Page One)
IN launching an intensive "live7at-
nome" campaign. John Goodwin
had at this time succeeded Mr.. Biv-
ems as county agent, and Vance
county farmers and farm women
fell in line with the new program.
The chief slogan of the Extension
Service since that time has been
'live-at-home", and all later pro-
grams have been designated with
this in mind.
Work With Tobacco
Early in 1919, j. c. Anthony sue
ceeded Mr.. Goodwin as county
agent in Vance county, and during
his service the use of magnesium
limestone on tobacco became gen
eral as result of his demonstra-
tions and cooperative orders. In
terest in poultry raising increased
and carlot shipments of poultry
from the county were made.
All Club Encampments.
County All Club encampments
were started by Mrs. Plummer and
Mr.. Anthony in 1924, when 35 boys
and girls spent a week at Balance
Rock, which had been put in shape
for camping by the local Kiwanis
clubs erection of a hut on the
premises. All Club encampments
have been held annually since that
time, with the exception of the years
of 1888 when the State Depart
ment of Education took over the
school trucks one week prior to the
date for the camp and refused to
allow their use for transporting the
club members to camp-and 1884.
1885, and 1886, when the A.A.A.
program was consuming all of the
county agents time. All Club en-
campments have been held at wide
ly scattered places, including White
Lake, Little Washington, Reidsville,
and Jamestown, Virginia.
First COOperatives.
Following the period of the
tumbled, there came an era of or
ganization of farmers, the principal
outcome of which was the organiza-
ton Of the Tri-State Tobacco Co.
operative Marketing Association.
Practically all tobacco producers
signed agreements to pool their
tobacco crops in a marketing asso-
citation in an effort to receive
equitable prices for their products.
The county agent was very active
in the organization of this associa-
ton and the benefits of coopera-
tive marketing by use of a strin-
gent contract for the time was very
outstanding.
However, in a very short period
dissatisfaction among the members
began to become evident, and
other factors in connection with
management were played up which
caused the disruption of the noble
undertaking, which for while
promised to be the 'boon" for
which farmers had been looking to
lead them out of the dependency
which had always been upon them.
Cattle Are Tested.
In 1927 all the cattle in Vance
county were tested for tuberculosis
and the extension agents Cooperated
to a large extent in getting this
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31

in the county.
The latest provision for assistance
in agricultural work in the county
has been the organization of the
Tar River Soil Conservation Dis
trict, which includes all of Vance
county. There is at present a staff
Of four men, headed by E. c. Jones,
district conservationist, permanent
ly located in the county and render
ing service to the farmers as they
call upon them for the services
which the Soil Conservation Ser
vice renders.
All of thse various groups of
workers, while being representa-
tives of different branches Of the
Department Of Agriculture, are
working with one accord for the
betterment of farm conditions in
Vance county and indirectly for the
urban population as well, since
they all prosper or suffer together
according to the degree of success
that the farmer meets.
The office of the county and home
demonstration agents, known as the
Extension Service, has cooperated
in the establishment of each of the
above branches in the county and

TEACHERS RESPONSIBILITY

Theme Of this convention was,
"The Teachers Responsibility"
Miss Amy H. Hinrichs Of New
Orleans, La, new NEA. Presi-
dent, said: "Our responsibility is
nearly overwhelming when you
realize In your teaching work that
child grows up but once and
that you can not afford to make a
mistake with an impressionable
youth. Mistakes or lack Of guidance
may result in a misfit citizen. In
these troublous times when jobs
are scarce, and the cause Of
democracy needs fullest support
the teachers of the Nation have
the gravest responsibilities of their
lives before them"
Every meeting of these 10000
teachers-who represented about
$4,000 American teacher members
of the N. E. A.-was devoted to
finding a better and more efficient
as we'll as more interesting way to
present to youth the educational
tools to fit them to step off the
graduation platform with more
than a paper diploma in their
Science Monitor.

Has His Arguments

Why not set the financing up on
a different basis, argues Frank.
After all, when railroads default
in interest payments on their
bonds, the bondholders are thrown
into something of the same position
as the common stock holders. They
can't sell the railroad and get their
money out of it, regardless OF what
is written on the bond The best
they can claim is a priority share
in such earnings as the railroad
may have. And when the railroad
reorganization is complete, chances
are the face value of their bonds
is cut down much as if it had
been common stock
But the real danger, Frank ar
CUES, is that when a railroad runs
shy of income, the management
begins neglecting upkeep and other
necessary expenses in order to pay
interest on the bonds. Unless such
payments are made they face what
Frank calls the "hideously expensive
and drastic remedy of bankruptcy
and reorganization"
The pending railroad legislation
would, among other things, set ur
a special bankruptcy court to ex-
pedite railroad financing. Frank
would take the next step and see
to it that the indigestible bond val
ues are replaced with more flexible
types of security whose values ano
earnings will rise and fail with
railroad earnings.
