The first woman to be appointed to the position of assistant farm demonstration agent in North Carolina is Miss Helen Millard of Great Barington, Mass., assistant to Lee B. Gowan, Gaston County. She is a native of Georgia, but has been living in Massachusetts and is a graduate of the Massachusetts Agricultural College.
Miss Millard’s salary is to be paid by the Kiwanis Club of Gastonia, which has a special program, a movement to improve the opportunities of boys and girls of Gaston County by means of the proper instruction in farm work and in kindred activities.
