Charlotte, inside ?vr three hours? but the larger part is err >wh to feed the kraut factories, the major factory being located at Boone. Watauga took the initiative a few years ago in cheese-making, and cows to! feed the factories since developed dot the meadows oyer the mountain counties in general. The mountain folks quickly demonstrated skill in manufacture and business capacity in marketing, and the cheese industry has been developed into one that gives occupation for many pi pl< : ? tij i re over that section.

The disclosure is that five new fermenting vats have been added since last season with a capacity of;50 tor.s each, which? ex actly doubles the capacity of the plant. It is expected to fill the vats twice, making 1.000 tons of the nowfamous Watauga sauer kraut. Last year. Mr. Miller said, only 40 acres of cabbage were useul by ilne factory, whereas this summer 721.;. acres have been contracted. Under the terms of the contracts the land seeded to cabbage is to produce lo tons to the ac^. Twenty-five people will b&wmpioyed during the cutting, fermenting and canning the bumper crop will not be finished before the middle of March. The finishen output will be equivalent to more than ;>?> standard guage car loads, or about 40.000 cases, in addition to huge quantities of 'juice" which enjoys a widespread distribution and is considered a luxury at the breakfast table.

The Genuan ah liner was over San Francisco at 9:1( p. m. It was en route to Los Aiigeltru, where it will be tied to a mast. When the titantic German craft suddenly sailed majestically from a bank of fog and clouds, il was a signal for a huge demonstration here. Cannons boomed out a salute. An escort of 14 army planes were alongside the Zeppelin. Approximately 200,000 persons lined the shore of San Francisco Bay ox stood on the top of buildings, waving hats and flags. When the Grai Zeppelin was first seen from here, it had been in the an- 68 hours, covering more than 4,800 miles *4 water. ?.

The calf is usually allowed to stay with the mother in a box stall for three or four days after it is born, nursing at will.
