fastened on my mind wh-le in Clay

mvniioni'd; oi course beefcatlle and
sheep would thrive, and sheep husbandry
should b>' carried on whce individual
taste may indicate, but the
hree ? ' . ??!' be our present goal,
-he ::rst necessity f"r this purpose.
: is i:rol"= for ire to mention, but
I will and .hat is the pevisnent pasture.
Strange to say thai I did n -r
find a single pasture that could be
called first class. This is rot all
chargeable to the farmers of the
county nor to the County A cent
but largely to the excessive drought
last year. Yet, .f last summer had
been normal, the pastures would he
"a'* he low what they should l?e. Th;
best sign I saw everywhere in Clay
County was that the farmers feel and1
see the need of better pastures, t<?
support the lines of livestock to grow
and the breed of Dairy cattle to
adopt, and I see a fair chance f??>
them to get together on hogs and
poultry. I nsited the Bank in Hayes\il!e
and found it in excellent condition
and willing to cooperate to the.
limit with our Farm Extension Activities.
1 found W. R. Anderson at the
Clay County line to give me a hearty
welcome. He worked me almost to
a frazzle, not giving me time to eat
dinner one day. And made me talk
myself so hoa'se before night that
1 could only speak above a whisper.
Anderson has the right idea of
what should he done in Clay County
and i: doing it. lie is making soil
improvement, |>a.-turo and crop im-,
provements as a base for the Dairy
cow. the Sow and the ?ien antl Club
work; and is driving it with nil the
sense and energy he has.
At a chimney corner meeting at
the hotel in Hnyesville where several
farmers assembled invitation, 1 sug?sted
the idea of a county-wide Clay
County Club on the plan ot our Polk
County Club, which was unanimously
indorsed, and I believe it is a great
leed for all small counties that have
no large town with a Chamber of
Commerce to mould public sentiment
for the county. I found the farmers
perfectly courteous and open for
nforniation and in perfect accord
with our Mountain District and State
Plar.s.
Clay County is one of our greatest

If you want to know whether you
are destined to t a i. tt or a ^
failure in iit'e. You tan va.-ily find ^
? .it. The test i- s :r. <? ..ntl infallible;
Can you save m ?n?-y on the
farm? It not, drop out. Vou are
not a farmer and you will lose. You ^
muv think not, but you will U?>e a- .
tt
sure a? you live.
l'he stetl < :' success is not i:i y< u.
Not I eonuso money in itself mean?
so much, but because the habit of
iclf-tiiscipline. .-e'.f-cor.trol, si if mastery,
which it takes to -ay "no" to ^
unnecessary ?i unwise expenditures
is a fundamental basis .>f character
w
and success.

week after week what to do but not 1
how to do it. To us?e feed of th s
an dthat kind but not what variety
that is the best for your section and
land. There is all kinds of clover and
if the right variety is used and the
land limited it will stck; if not, you
lose.
.There are ail kinds of soy beans "
ami if you use the wrong kind you s<
lose. You were told to use soy beans lt'
and if you do and get the wrong kind.
what dors this do to our country? It
hurts, because you say it does not St
pay to use such and such, for you t'1
tried it out and failed. c'
My advice to the farmers is this:
Since your businos is what you make Vl
it, either make it good, or try some- ^
thing else. And if you still try of ^
farm, try to have the best in your sec- es
lien of something, it makes no dif-|
ferenee what it is. If every farmer * '
has the bc<t of something, we will t
/.ave one of the finest sections of.,s
farms in the 1". S. A. Why? Be- ;i
cause we have advantages that no ^
other country can boast of, what the 1 '<>5
best stock, the best fruit, dairy cows j
hogs and sheep, all pure broil and >"c
purebred chickens, turkeys, ducks J 'eJ
and geese, pine seed of all kinds and W(
your will power to have the best of th
something. If you have the best
field of wheat, it is something that ;?*"
will make history for you. The liv
best cow, or anything else, it will
bring you something you can never m<
lose. A blue ribbon is not much. I? >'n
is the honor and will follow ydu
to your grave. When you are old th;
and gray you will look back to the an
time when you got the ribbon. kn
Your friends and others will say: th:
"Mr. Soandso has the best." And he
when some other fellow wants the ho
est he will look you up and you can th:
make a nice sale if what you have is pii
for sale.
It helps you in other ways. It th
builds up your section of the country wi
and as it grows you grow also your CI
children acquire the habit of doing gii
something and desire to have the boat ;nj
of everytihng. za
Rut if you are advised to use lime po
on your corn land, or Irish potatoes, fo
lime should not be applied to either, po
as they do not do as well in a sweet hh
soil as in one slightly acid. But for th!
clover, it is necessary and is one of

KEEPING POULTRY FOR
A FARM INCOME
Hayesville? A purebred f ork of
?ny variety shouid produce twelve
(12) dozen eggs, per year, on a
alance ration and rightly housed.
The heavier bioeds (Ileus and Rocks)
miched off in .March, and the lighter
breeds (Leghorns) in April, will;
iDgin laying in October, when eggs
ire high. One hundred (100) hnis
itariing laying in October, should
ire luce a crate of m h ??0 doz.M
?ggs per week through the winter to I
pring. Fiesh yard eggs, with heavy
iroduction from October to March. ]
hould net you on avenge t' rough the

darket 40c per dozen. Sixty pounds
i jeeti win teed a hen one war. if
rou lot her and feed her everything
he gets. It can be bought for 3c
>er lb. and# you can make money by
ceding your grain to poultry at this j
irice. Cost per hen, Cu lbs. at :le
quals $1.80, production 12 dox. at ]
10c equals $4.80, difference $3.00. j
'rofit on one hen $3.00 profit on one
tundred (100) hens equal $300.00. i
Records we now have in Clay
bounty; Mr. W. I. Winchester bought!
100 baby chicks May 25, he selected
07 pullets, they layed 15 <loz. eggs j
n November. 100 dozen in Pecember j
md by Feb. 22, they had laid 340 i
lozen eggs. M r. raw-ford has
in equal record, ami they both re-'
eived 40e per tio7.cn for eggs in Ashe-;
ille, in February.
These records show* that you can
roducc eggs when they are high, from
k-tober through Feb. The greatest J
eed in Clay county is a cash income I
tiat the farmers can realize money j
rom every week in the year.
If you want to get into the poiil-1
