Bt asstcwn Nut Growers Take Trio I lie first expedition of the Brass-' town Nut Growers" Association start ed out on Saturday. August 25th. to ?tudv fruit and flowers at Colonel Witherspoon - farm on the Valley River Road. In spite of the threat ening weather fifteen enthusiasts turned up and piled into two cars in the best of spirits. Although it, began to rain before the\ reached Murphv. it stopped for a few min utes when tlie\ arrived at Colonei Witherspoon*- and they were given; an opporiunit) to examine his fine pei an and walnut trees, sample his splendid grapes, and admire his magnificient dahlias before the ' ir-t storm came on. K\er\ one was driven onto the porch by the sudden downpour, and watched the storm blow down a little walnut tree, whieh had a fine crop "t nuts on it. Their host gathered some of hi- prize dahlias and explained their fine points to an admiring au dience whose members all agreed that they had never seen such, splen did l lowers. The Cherokee Vk ar rii?r. a magnificient dark red hybrid which Colonel Witherspoon had or iginated himself, was the favorite, though others had their share of ad miration. Most unfortunately the rain prevented further investigation of the garden, but a cordial invita tion to return was extended and the club hopes to take advanta: ? of it a a later date. In case you have not heard of the Brasvown Nut Grower's Ass <? i at ion a few words of explanation may be necessary. \ few weeks ago a group of young people of all ages between eight and twentytfive got together under the leadership of Mr. George Ridstrup of the John C. Campbell Folk School, and planned an organ ization to encourage the planting of trees and study of agriculture. The rules which were subsequently drawn up were as follows: Purpose of the Association 1. To put wase land to profitable u<e. 2. To stimulate interest and pro vide instruction in fanning and for estry for the younger generation. Requirements for Membership 1. To own at least one acre of land and to take full responsibility! of ownership. 2. To improve land as Roard of Directors shall suggest. 3. To keep larfd in good condi tion by measures for fire protection, etc. 1. To work on common enterpris es whenever :?ecessar\. 5. To resign from Association if Roard of Directors find member de ficient in any of the above require ments. The parents in the community are n er\ enthusiastic and many of them ha\e already promised to deed their children an arte* of land to plant trees on. So as soon as the I?lack walnuts an* ripe for planting there HOW MACHINES INSURE PURITY 1 IN SOFT DRINKS Local Bottler Tells of Modern Meth od If hich Prevent Slightest Chance of Contamination While it seems almost impossible th1' a orodwt can be manufactured and prepared for the consumer with out the touch of human han^s. that i- iit??rail\ what happens in the fa^ture <?f a Coca-Cola, accord ing to C.
