Storey knew that Jefferson Rotary is so much interested in Soil Con servation, Calves, Chickens and Children, that he called Colonel Earl Norman, who is the leader in bring ing about a revolution in agricul ture in Wilkes County, to come to Jefferson and talk to this club. The invitation was accepted and Colonel Norman told the story of Wilkes County, which talk may be entitled, “From Poverty to Prosperity.” The poverty was brought on by boll weevils and depression. After the bpll weevils invaded Wilkes County, the more land a person owned, the sadder was his financial plight. Then the county turned its atten tion to grain, pastures, cattle and soil conservation, which have brought prosperity again to Wildes County, the home of that great statesman, Robert Toombs. Colonel Norman and others, not only with adults, but with the 4-H and F. F. A. Clubs, gave Jersey calves to each of a certain number of boys and girls. The first heifer calf born from these Jersey gift calves was given to other boys. The result is a chain so that there are now more than two hundred Jersey calves in Wilkes owned by 1-H and F. F. A. members, obtained from this source. Wilkes is now a great cattle coun ty which sells hundreds of gallons of milk each day. Prosperity has re turned to the county and the people there are happy. Colonel Norman is a very pleasing and magnetic speaker and everyone who heard him was charmed with his message. He was presented by Prof. J. L. McMullan. By motion of Henry W. Davis, Rotary will sponsor the calf proposi tion which is expected to prove a splendid success. Guests present were A. C. Brown of Ft. Pierce, Fla.; J. L. McMullan, Pittman Carter, Worth Wilkes, Mays A. Venable, Hoke Hardy, R. H. Mc- Ever, and Scott Waddell. Only two members were absent. U. D. C.
