Irdell Farmers to Hear Brooks. . . Accepts an Invitation to Speak at Annual County Picnic. . . Display Purebred Jerseys. . . Committee Announces That Many New Features Will Be Found On Program
Statesville—Dr. E.C. Brooks, president of State College, Raleigh, will be the chief speaker at the annual Iredell county farmers’ picnic to be held at the Piedmont Experiment station here on Thursday, July 19. Since Dr. Brooks has recently assumed the presidency of the State College, his address will be especially interesting to North Carolina farmers. Nowhere in this section of the State would he have an opportunity of speaking to more farmers than at this great annual gathering.
County Agent R.W. Graeber, secretary of the picnic committee, announces that reports from all surrounding counties indicate that there will be a large attendance of the farmers. Inquiries as to the date of this picnic have come to the county agent from Asheville, Charlo9tte, Raleigh, Troy, Catawba, Rowan and Davis, which indicates that all Piedmont North Carolina is interested in the Iredell county farmers’ meeting.
The picnic committee announces that many new features will be found on the program this year. One of these will be an educational display of purebred Jerseys, staged by the North Carolina Jersey Breeders’ Association, along with a display by several Iredell county farmers. With this campaign as a starter, a campaign for better cattle will be launched in Iredell.
