FORTY-FIVE ACRES
OF BRYAN FARM TO
i BE PLANTED IN 1931
J. Frank Miller to Tend Twenty-One
Acres of Beans, Cabbage and Potatoes.
"Cove Place" Will Be Put
in Corn. Property Lies on Oui
kirts of City. Plowing Is Almost
Completed.
One of the most interesting faratinjjr
operations started in Watai?
so far this year. is that taking place
on the old W. L. Bryan farm which
lies, for the most part, within the
city limits of Boone. Around fortysix
acres of ground is being broken
for various crops, fences are being
repaired, new ones erected, and the
entire plantation placed in "applepie
order."
B. R. Bryan, under whose management
the work is being carried
out, states that. J. Frank Miller, manager
of the local kraut factory, has
rented the meadow which lies adjacent
to the cannery, and will plant,
these twenty-one acres to potatoes/
cabbage and beans. An aged citizen
of Boone declares that this turf was
last broken more than sixty years
ago, one crop was tended and the
field converted into meadow. Plowing
is almost finished on this tract,
and the turf is said to be more than
six inches deep, necessitating the use
of an extra-heavy team to pull the
share. The rich, black loam which
lies underneath gives promise of;
bountiful crops provided the comingseason
is favorable.
R. L. (Dick) CoLvard will tend
the "Bryan Cove," which contains
around ten acres of choice corn land.
This property was cultivated by himj
seven years ago, when around fiftyj
bushels of corn was produced to thei
acre without the use of fertilizer.
Mr. Bryan states that the land this
year will be given a generous application
of nitrates, and he predicts
a wonderful yield.
Charlie Greer, who has charge, of!
the plowing on Mr. Miller's boundary,
has rented ten acres which will
be put in oats; Charlie Tcague will
tend about an acre and a half of'
truck, and '"Barber Bill" Hodges]
is plowing three acres of rolling land
for cabbage or potatoes. In addition
to this, Mr. Bryan will himself tend
an acre of cabbage and small vegetables.

22,500 Predatory Birds I
And Animals Are Taken!
11 1 ei
Birds and animals classed under,'
the State law as "unprotected0 num-j
r^bering approximately 22.5U0 broughtj
bounties to North Carolina hunters i
last veav. according to a icnort bv
State Game Warden 0. H. England.
Bounty claimants rid the State of
42i) wildcats and 22,00.0 crows and |
sharp-shinited and Cooper's hawks, i
the State Warden's report shows, j
These bounties were paid only during
the three monihx of the hunting
season and do not account for those
killed during the other nine months
nor for others for which no bounty
was claimed.
Special attention, according to
.State Warden England, has been given
to the extermination of vermin
on State game refuges. A report
from C. N- Mease, chief refuge warden
of the major Western North
Carolina sanctuaries, shows that 6f9t
predatory birds and animals were
destroyed on these refuges during the
year. These included wildcats, outlawed
hawks, foxes, weasels and
stray homeless cats.
Efforts have been centered on the
control of vermin on Holly Shelter
State Refuge and public hunting
Sag ground in Pender County. More than
two score wildcats, as well as nu-j
merous hawks and crows, were elim-inated
from this area by refuge I
keepers. |
- State -Warden England points out
liuillbci' ?~f tJM , V birds |

is an indication that the breeding

Caldwell Grand Jury
Returns a True Bill
Against A. B. Johnson
I i .
Lenoir. NT. C. A true bill charging
A. T?. Johnson of North Wilkes
h boro with manslaughter was returned
by the Caldwell County grnnd
Jury after Superior Court, convened
Monday morning. Judge John H. Harwood,
of Bryson City, was on the
bench.
Johnson, prominent in business
circles of North Wilkcsboro, was indicted
for the death of Miss Dollie

was killed in an automobile wreck
on the Lenoir-Taylorsville Highway^,

case was scheduled for trial, basing

The court ordered Dr. C. R. Hedrick,
qf f.onoirt to examine the defendant
at North Wilkesboro today
and to file his report with the court
one day this week. Should the physician
find Johnson's condition such
that immediate trial iti Superior
Court would jeopardize his life the
case is likely to bo continued until
later in the two-weeks term of court
lor until the August term. 9t*rf
The Cooi'troom was packed with
curious onlookers as the case was
brought up by Solicitor L: S. Spurling
for action. A legal snarl developed
when 'ihe s?*.vol.-s
covered that Johnson's bond in the
amount of $5,000 was to magistrate's
court' and was not binding: for .Superior
Court, requesting: a capias to
bind the defendant to the higher
court. Attorneys for Mr. Johnson
immediately placed a justified bond
with Clerk V;' D. Guire, which was
accepted.

* Gusher Now Throwing Out It*

Three months ago ttev. I riah Far
! thing, Baptist minister of the Beaver
Qam suction, very generously offered
his brother-tn-law, W. L. Cook o:"
Boone, tvro lot; in Oklahoma City,
provided he, Co6k, would pay taxes
<?n these and two other plots located
in that town. But Mr. Cook gra
ciot.sly declined the kind offer, bej
lievir.g this to he a poor time for reai
estate investment: Prices evidently
j took a boom out in "Alfalfa Bill's"
j commonwealth, notwithstanding certain
alleged depression, for one day
last week the Rev. Mr. Farthing,
who following Mr. Cook's refusal enveigled
a denizen of Oklahoma into
putting him right with the tax coi
lector, received an offer of $80,000
for this pair of 50-foot lots.
Something happened, of coarse,
and this is what it was: A certain oil
company took a co-operative lease on
this particular block of lots, sunk a
test well, and brought in a gusher of
some several thousand barrels output
j. each 24 hours. The -,veli is located
within fifty feet of Mr. Farthing's
property, and his share of the profits,,
according to a telegram received
by him Fviday. is $1154 per day. Un:
del* an agreement, oil companies op''
crating in the Middle West are only
* allowed to. pump wells three days a
month. At this rate Mr. Farthing's
income will be $2,862 per month, or

1 Lt is understood that operators of
the field will drill four more wells

& his income in^y be. multiplied by five.
~ He left for Oklahoma City the first
e of the week, accompanied by an ati*
