I think it waste be spent in soil
conservation" Umstead said. La
ter, he increased that sum with
monies from relief funds.
'Now, combination o. expert
ment with relief money is some
times a dangerous thing, bus in
this instance that project was
worth the risk.
From seven small experiment
tai projects-two of which were
Laid in North Carolina-there has
grown the present great program,
which ties in with the Triple-A
to rebuild a portion of our vast
national wealth that was lost.
whether you agree with all
the things that the late President
Roosevelt did, it is my humble
judgment that no man has lived
in our day who saw more clearly
the need of conserving the ma
tons resources-all the rescurc-
es of every kind.
81 am pleased to know that 81
districts have been created under
the State Law, involving SO Of
our 100 counties; that under the
program are some 23,600 farmers
who have adopted farm plans, and
that of that number 46 per cent
are fulfilling the recommended
tons concerning those plans.
That means that scattered
throughout North Carolina there
are farmers which, under the di-
rection of skilled men, arc being
brought back to greater fertility
and great production.
Through the soil conservation
program and the Triple-A, the
farmer is being aided. The main
thing about these programs is
that they help the farmer to help
himself, and I have always be-
lieved that that is all that the
farmer wants"
Umstead paid tribute to Dean
I. o. Schaub, chairman OF the
State Soil Conservation Commit
tee and director of Extension at
State College and others for
''their fine vision of the future
and kOOW1a6oa Of the D3cT-th9t
is, by experiment and patient
work, bringing in new things and
ways to aid the farmer in North
Carolina"
A. c. Edwards. newly elected
president, presided at the ban
quet. The invocation was given
by D. C. Wilson, of Davidson
county, and the group was led in
singing "America" by DR.. J.. D.
Baver, of State College.
