Smith | and family of Kinards were one j of the nine additional Master Farm Families named jointly by the Progressive Farmer magazine and the South Carolina Extension Ser vice. Other South Carolina Master Farm Families were named by these organizations in 1928, 1939, 1947 and 1950. The selections are made in a rotation plan among states covered by the Carolinas- Virginia edition of the magazine. To be named as a Master Farm Family is considered as one of tiie highest and most coveted honors which can come to a farm family. The families are selected after Aaving been personally visited and carefully considered by officials of the sponsoring organizations. Their achievemeents in farming, home- making, and citizenship are stud* led, scored, and compared with those of other farm families nomi nated by county committees from the various counties. A 1,000-point score card is used as a basis for evaluating the ac tivities of each family. The four main divisions on the score card and points assigned each are— Family and community life, 225 points; operation and organiza tion of farm, 350 points; business methods and ability, 150 points; and home farmstead, 275 points. The farm and farm homes of the 1953 “Master Farm Families” provide excellent examples of good farm practices and wholesome, helpful, farm life with a different emphasis in each instance. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and family will be presented a beautiful bronze plaque later in the year in recognition of their outstanding ac- complishmeents.
