C.?How a few j acres of bind on the edge of a town? can be ; : leverage for building a j major farming operation is illustrate j ed by the experience of Mrs. F. B.! Bitnch, wife of a prominent business: man, here, fh six. years she has devel-f opod what is now the largest, hatch- i f:ry in the Southeast. j "There were eight children of ours! to be fed, clothed and educated/- says! Mrs Bunch, "and there were beyond! our control co tain circumstances j which caused me- to feel that I should! help with the family income. I had j kept a small flock of white leghorns j on the- place: so I decided to add a{ hatchery. Several of the children! were small; so we attached the hateh/f cry to the- house and thus it remains." i She still raises chickens but mostly j ibr purposes of demonsiirulion. Her j hatchery is the operating core of !?0 j to 7'? f Jocks of purebred chickens on us many farms in Iredell and adjoining counties. The handling ox oil these flecks; is sjipfefised by 31 rs. Bunch, for from them she gets the eggs with which she procures some ] 200,000 baby chirks lor distribution in spring and falJ. Before starting the Hatchery Mrs. Bunch took a course in poultry management at Perdue University in In- , diana, and every November she par- ; takes in the week-length short course ], in the same subject at State Co liege, j' with the poultry department <jf which ]( she operates in close co-operation. She started off with an incubator of 12,000 capacity; now she has two, both of high efficiency, with aggve-gate capacity of 77,000 eggs. Lasi year she did a business of about , 000. and specialists in touch with her j, work say her earnings- amount to j, $4,000 to $o,000 a year. Out of her j ] earnings she has paid the expense of keeping several children regularly hi : college* < "Bracticaily |8i of o?i baby chicks , remain ?n the State.'* says she. < "About, half of them are inkc-n by s nearby operators who come for them j SiV^tjtbrptber half arc di^tribuLed by j parcel post.'* Jfer operations hu,*c veen a great ] J stimulus to improvement and ex pan siiiji of poultry raising in tl?!^ section. ] .

"We do think, how- 5 c-ver, there is a great need to build ; up the fertility of the soil so that it. j v may produce move profitable acreage . yields in the future. There is little csh to be obtained in producing cot ton and tobacco anyway and the man 1 who has grown all of his food and feedstuffs is in a good position to j plant legumes so as to add to the fertility of his soil.

The State should continue to produce s this staple but devoting its energies : to growing only the highest quality \ which measures about an inch or an J inch and a sixteenth, leaving to oth- 1 er acres the production of low grade lint. Cotton growers should not in- J crease the acreage to tobacco next!1 season. j This means that the thing to do j j is to plant soil improving crops in j , rotations that will coninue to irn- : prove the soil and will provide plea- 1 ty of food and feed. With pastures added, the State may then turn to c livestock and thus build out oi the present depression an agricultural system which can easily be the peer of any in the nation. BLIND LUCK s Berkeley. Calif.?-Mrs. Margaret j "Wilson, comptometer operator, blind L since birth, stood on a busy inter- 5 section here, waiting for some one 1 to help her across thf-street. Aman stepped up and asked: "May * I go across with you?" "I'd be very glad if you would," ^ replied Mrs. Wilson. ? Safely across the street, the man s thanked Mrs. Wilson. 1 "Why, I want to thank you," she c said. * "You know," the man continned, s "when one has been blind as many 1 years as I have, it is a mighty big c favor to have someone help him over the street." * Democrat Ads.

Liggett?leading figure in the drug svorld, old friend of former President Coolidge and a keen student of modem business. The message sent, from Boston headquarters of this outstanding pacemaker in successful merchandising is as full of good news its an English walnut is of meal. Mr. Liggett throws some mighty interesting sidelights on current, business affairs and has crowded much unanswerable logic into the document. Referring to one of his conversa;;>ns with former President Calvin '3dolidge, ho tells that after an hours iiscussion of .business problems, Mr. 'oolidge declared* '-Supply and denand will make the price. It always and always will. You cannot con ;rc?l what God produces." Mr. Ceolidge was referring to tha Rngiish attempt that failed, to regulate production and price of rubber, and .Mi*. Liggett's comment ir, "No special legislation?-no national legislation---ho world intercourse or world courts can establish a value that will turn the flow of business. Calvin CoolidgO was right when he said that price can he regulated only by sup ply and demand." Thy? fact that at this particular lime of business stress tfcerc is listed the targcst number of Itaxnll drug stores in Drugdom's history, was received' with no little satisfaction, be aUs-'1 it proved to him the wisdom of becoming the Uexall druggist ir. rhis particular locality where the profit and good will assured by the ioxall plan to both the one who soils and the one who buys lias been a mmmuniiy affair of mutual benefit. "X think the biggest merchandising idea, that has ever been promulgated r. America is the fall one cent sale," continued Mr. T.iggc-tt, and he gives this bit. of history : "1 brought this sale to you in the fall of 1934, after ear had been declared between tfce European countries. Everything was it a standstill. Stock markets wrc dosed- Everything was going to hell n a hack, and the one-cent .sale put pour business over then and it will ao tiie same thing- this fab." ?>fore money is being spent on the publicity program for this autumn Dne Cent Sale than has ever been expended before. As its projector .vho gave it to the independent druggists who have accepted the Rex all merchandising plan, Mr. Liggett says: 'The theme- and scheme back of the One Cent Sale it clean?-it is whole orac?it is truthful. It is merchandising from factory to consumer with he lowest possible intermediate arofiL You will give employment in mur stores by reason of what your ronsumers buy. And after all, that s v/hat is going to tide- us over!" This Rcxali One Cent Sale will be un the first week in November and he people of this community rwiil hare in this greatest festival of buyng opportunity of the current strenious year. 1TUMP STILL CAPTURED IN STATE OF WILKES (Elkin Tribune) - A whisky distillery, set up to reiemble a couple of stumps, was 'ound and destroyed by Deputy Sheriff R. F. Eller in Boomer Townhip, Wilkes .County, several days tgo. The still was near the Wilkesiins o" the west side of he Brushy Mountains. According t? the officers, the outit had a stone furnace and a 50;a!!on steel drum used for making team.

STOCKBRIUGE I' i , i Edison Twenty-three years ago, when Thomas A. Edison Was seriously ill, ; 1 prepared an account of his "life, for j publication in case of his death. I 1 found in the reference room of the : New York Herald an article several ] columns long which had bc-en writ| ten about Edison in 1879. ; What man ever lived whose life I was a matter of public interest for i | so many years? I can think of none, i j As far back as 1879, fifty-two years i j ago, Edison's name was known all 1 : over the world. Great men have ? i sprung into the limelight, lived their 5 full careers and gone to their graves ; since then. Theodore Roosevelt and j 1 Woodrow Wilson were just finishing; college in 1879, William J. Bryan had not been heard of, drover Cleve-j land was an obscure lawyer in Buf-i falo. Each of those and many others i who have long since passed from earth left his mark on human affairs, but none so completely revolutionized the world as Edison.

Decency Librarians report that there is a revival of interest among young folks in the sound, decent literature of the days before the war. Young folks of boiih sexes who were too young to be influenced by the war are reading the great, books of Dickens, Thackeray and Scott in preference to the modem sex novels. From a famous socologist I learn that the wave of sexy literature is waning, and thai books whose chief claim to interest is their indecency are no longer be! ing widely read. This friend attributes the let-down in moral standards, which was so -noticeable for a few years after the war among young people, to the desire for thrills, on the part of those who were just too young to have any part in the war, but who were emotionally stirred up by it They have npv/ had their fling and are largely .^ottlin^r down to decency, while the younger ones, who were infants in wartime, have no such emotional disturbance to be compensated for. Whatever there is in that theory, it is gratifying to feel that the age of indecency is approaching an end. It was bound to end sometime, as such manifestations always do, in time. Hoover ! ?r-.i - - .... - ? most 01 toe criticism of President (Hoover is based upon his inability to stir the emotions of the crowd. He never "makes the eagle scream" and | he does not like to quarrel in public J with his political opponents. But [when he can get a group of men i around a table to discuss any quesItion of public importance, he usually gets what he goes after. That is what Mr. Hoover has been doing ir. the matter of the war-debt moratorium, the new plan for credit relief, and other measures of great public | importance. It is a new method in* A American statecraft, but it seems | to work. It takes leadership to work] it, and those who have been saving that Mr. Hoover is not a leader need jto revise their views. Leaders do not always wave their swords and parade with a brass band. JOHN E. BROWN ATTORNEY AT LAW BOONE, N. C. Offices Postoffice Building Phone 63 ? m i ' I?#*:EKY THUKSIM Y-BOONE. N. C.
