of the National Farm and
. Home -Hour of the United States De
partment of Agriculture Wednes'
diay afternoon, September 21,. Miss
Garrett, who won a trip to ' Washington
and here placed on the radio
program because of being selected as
the best all-around club-member in
seven states, described the activities
of tih,e clubs in her state and community

vegetables, and meats, improve 'tlieii
homes and surroundings, introduce

Miss Garrett was elected president
of the club in her community when
it was first organized and has serv
~ ed in that capacity ewer since. She"
has also served for two years as
assistant local leader, three years as
state treasurer, two years jas vice-"
. president of the county organization
and two -years as a member of the
?' cotrrrty -executive- eommiiUccv This,
activity considered in connection with
the standard of her project activities,
record of public presentation,
and personal narrative report on
- club won for her the award.
0 Through hefr club projects, Miss
Garrett, the oldest of a family of
nine, has succeeded in screening her
rlome, installing kitchen convenienc
es^ and beaul il vintr both the inside
ad surroundings of the farm house,
"'-i all at an expense far below the cost
of the movie entertainment of most
city children. Perhaps her most in
teresting project was the ins'allai
tion of running' tt'utor in the kitchenusing
a 65-gallon tank on a wooden
scaffold which she tiersdlf erected,
which was connected with a sink on
the inside made from /a gas tank
from a discarded Ford car which also
furnished the pipe which connected
tho tank and the sink. The only
cost for the system, was ten cents
paid for a faucet.
In the kitchen Miss Garrett has
built her mother an attractive kitchen
cabinet- mjade from waste lumber
and two boxes given by a merchant.
She drew out the nails "from the box
and used tihem again in the construe
tion of the cabinet,- Handles came
from the hood of the old Ford.
The lawn of the Garrett place has
-been improved by building up the
low places, planting giLss, fencing
and making a driveway to the house
all of which was done by the young
girl'* efforts or under her direction.
Purebred chickens have taken the
"" -place of mixed breeds. . She and her
mother have learned to grow, can
and prepare seven new kinds of veg
oV-fcblo*;?tn can moiit-S, t.n plan
prepare quick wholesome meals,
thereby making meal planning a
pleasure rather than a burden. Thirty-five
of their neighbors have adopted
Itho improved practices used by
the Gtarretts. She- has learned- 4^raiso
ibahy beef; pigs and garden.
During the past four years Ozie Bell
has learned to can and lias canned
from her garden 372 quarts .of' vegetables,
of which she sold 285 jars,
using the vest for her home and as
gifts to neighbors; 202 cans .from
her baby beef, 33 cans of sausage
from her pipr, and 365 cans of fruits
much of which she sold. Her gross
income from all sources for the fouryears'
'period was $1,211.11, of which
there. was a "total net profit, of $992.
73 after her expenses of $21^.88 were
deducted. She Has bought all of hor
school - clothes,. helped her family
with-igifts to the children, and in addition
thas a nice sum left which she
intends to use for her education.

Five hundred white farmers nj-ike

Ui'uige Simmons t? ace and hear him
tell his story about growing Lespedtnsa
Sericea. This Negro tenant,

lirst man in North Carolina, to grow
this wonderful legume cioti. accord-^
... u. Yeager, Rowan County Farm
Agent; at tf*e Sericea growers
meeting, Thursday, September 22.
The first sqeds were sent to the
county by Dr. A. J. Deters, Chief
try, U. S. Department of Agriculture
TTaidiinglon, D. C., to Mr. Walter
Bailey of Woodleaf, North Qarolina.
The two ounces of seeds were turnd
over to George Simmons because
of the success he had had in growing
Korean Lespedeza. The first plant*
..f*,s were made about five years ago
in three rows, seventy-five feet in
length. Enough seeds wore harvested
to plant one fifth of an acre.
Fi oni this .one fifth acre Simmons
harvested 100 pounds of seeds which
mid 'for Sili nnn nn mv.*,
uet-u lur commercial plant food.
About <50 acres of the farm are
planted in small grain, wheat, oats
and* rye, (50 acres in Korean Lespeyza
and vetch; 25 la.res in corn, 15
acres in certified cotton seed,. 12 in
l.cspedeza jSericea and one* half
acre for the family garden. One of
the visitors asked the operator time
food and feedstuff. His reply wlas,
"I have not had such in SO years". ,
The farm inventory shows 5 head of
v.ork animals, 14 head of cattle, 12
hogs, 5o geese and 125 b'rds in the
a j.n flock. The large , number of
fatm machinery on the farm; such as
t diet or; hiowers and thrashing machine
indicates the tenant has modern
views in regards to the use of
labor saving devices on-the farm. '
Again Simmons proves himself <1 if
