STOP! LOOK!! LISTEN!!!
These words have become
the safe guard for modern
progress. Men did you hear
the rumor that Quorum Court
voted to discontinue our
County Farm and Canning
Club agent? Stop! Look!!
Listen!!!
What have these already
done? Beginning with noth
ing they have organized our
boys and girls into the corn,
pig, peanut canning and poul
try clubs; first teaching them
that great principle of co
operation. They are enab
ling labor when one knows
how to do a thing it is a pleas
ure not a drudgery. Thus
they are doing for our boys
and girls. The farm today
holds the greatest onportuni
ties for our youth of any call
ing in America.
uur puDiic scnoois, tnus tar
are inefficient to take care of
their training in Agriculture
and Home Economics. This,
these agents have been doing.
Shall we rob our children of
these and leave them to de
pend upon absorbing dad’s
methods of farming or
mother’s prineinles of cookery,
for their knowledge of these
vital subjects? Look! Do we
want th^-m to follow the path
^be calf made? Lets give
them a better bringing up
than we have had.
In grandmother’s time it
was not necessary to know the
food properties of what we
ate, but today when 75 per
cent of our food comes from
the market we must know the
food value of what we pur
chase. So long as we have no
domestic science in the
schools the canning club agent
is the only person who teach
es this to our mothers and
future mothers. Some say
these agents have not repaid
us. Teaching men the vacci
nation of hogs has saved the
county thousands of dollars.
They are teaching the farm
ers co-operative marketing is
necessary for our methods.
They are showing the farmers
that they must rotate their
crops to keep the land bulit
up. The canning club agent
has introduced convenient
cooking utensils in the kitchen
of the poor tired farmer’s
wife. They give lectures t<3
1 their girls on planning of well
balanced meals, inese are
some of the few. things they
have been doing for us.
Those who say that they have
not done anything are pessi
mists. We get out of a thing
what we put into it. How
manv of you have tried to
work with ‘these agents?
Some stand in their own light
by saying that “book learnin”
is of no value in these lines of
work. It was once that the
doctors did not need special
| book learning, practice was
11He necessity. Today would
I you feel safe to call a doctor
without an M. D. attached to
his name? The time will
soon come when those farmers
who have no book learning
are going to be forced to take
fhe leavings or live at the
back of some man’s farm.
Our homes will not be safe un
less our girls can plan well
balanced meals and conduct
the household in a scientific
manner.
Listen! Let us use our
money where it will bring the
greatest returns. These
agents are for better citizen
ship, better communities, bet
ter homes. We should have
the appropriation for our
county agents and until we
have a well developed Agri
cultural and Home Economics
course in our public schools,
give us these agents.
