March, 1935, issue of the Carolina Co-Operator (formerly The Carolina Cotton Grower)
“You can take the boy out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the boy,” they used to say out at State College. Now officials are paraphrasing the above, “taking the woman out of the city and the city out of the woman.” For helping former city women adapt themselves to country life is one of the new functions of home demonstration clubs, according to Miss Ruth Current, district home agent.
As an example, Miss Current points to Mrs. A.C. Robinson, Rowan County farm woman who formerly lived in Charlotte and Spencer, and who “didn’t even know how to milk a cow” when she and her husband moved to the farm a few years ago.
She joined the home demonstration club, learned rapidly, and today her canning activities, year-around garden, sewing and record-keeping come near to making her a model farm woman.
