Mountain Farm Fund Backed to Boost Western NC Agriculture
James G. K. M Clure Jr. leads the Farmers' Federation Asheville effort completing a $100000 Educational and Development Fund to promote mountain agriculture. The plan, built on years of work and a $25000 pledge from Dr. E W Grove with $75000 to be raised, gains New York backing from leaders like B F Yokum Magnus Alexander and Arthur W Page. The fund targets poultry butter canneries and allied industries to capitalize Western North Carolina's farming resources and expand markets.
