Miss Mildred Hutaff, a student in the Summer School, is studying to be a farmer. Her plan is to get a tract of land near Wilmington, raise lettuce and strawberries and other truck and fruit products, sell them in large quantities, and thereby make a lot of money.
After spending two years at the North Carolina College for Women, she went to the University of Wisconsin and studied agriculture. Having now finished her second year there, she is going back for a third and expects to get two degrees, B.S. and A.B. And she has sandwiched in several weeks at a California summer school.
After the completion of her course in Wisconsin, she will proceed to the State College in Raleigh, because she wants education in the sort of farming that is peculiar to North Carolina. Being only 21 years old, she has plenty of time for preparation and is determined not to start in until she has got about all the farming knowledge that colleges can impart.
Miss Hutaff’s father has land near Wilmington. She will take over part of that and probably buy more. She is convinced that the soil and climatic conditions in that region offer exceptional advantages for the sort of farming she plans to do.
Just at present, in Chapel Hill, she is taking courses in sociology and modern drama—as a summertime diversion from agriculture.
