Birds, Report Shows ^
ti
Proof that proper feeding and
breeding of poultry is highly profi- p
table in Cherokes county was shown
by the records of Charles Barker,
. Andrews boy, who filed his yearly
report with A. Q. Ketner, Cherolcre
county agent, here this week.
Barker, a high school boy, has
been keeping an average flock sjf 60 5
White Leghorns in his backyard and h
during 1934 realized a net profit of B
$63.97 out of the birda, hie report n
shows. w
J Barker has raised his birda accord- Xi
intg to North Carolina State college y
specifications and C. J. Maupin, state
college poultry specialist, gave him F
a fine Tating stating that the average
of 180 eggs per bird_during the y<ar p
was 37 higher than the average c o
the entire state and 12 higher than ?
any other .poultry raiser in Cherokee 1
county. \ ci
Barker's total feed ci.a' for . the P
year was armmd $88 and over 900 2;
dozen of eggs were produced. He
had a r.turn of $157 form them leav- s<
ing him his net profit of $70 or di
$1.15 per bird, the records showed. Xl
"I am highly pleased with the record
this boy has made," the County B
agent said. '1He has shown that if ai
cared for prdpterly, poultry is one of, B
the Cherokee county farmer's grer
est assets. i*|
? "Many farmers in tV ect.?n turn j

!: HENDERSON CO.
? PETITIONS TVA
: TO BUILD DAM
I?
French Broad Project,
* Abandoned Five Months
it Ago, Sought By People
* Hendersonville, N. C? Dec. 27.?
s Several thousand citizens of Hendt
erson county, it is shown, have petitt
ioned the United States government
it to begin work on the construction of
the proposed dam at Bent Creek, on
the Prenrh Broad river. Petitions,
placed in many stores in the city and
carried by interested citiiens throughout
the rural! Section, have been gen{
erously eigned. These hnve been assembled
and are this wekk being plaeed
in the hands of administration rep'
rwentatives.
Examination of the petitions discloses
the fact that practically ail tead^
ing business and professional men of
the city and the farmers generally
J" have signed the petitions Of especial
interest was the copy of the petition
. that was circulated among the resiU
dents of Milla River Section. It is
, said 90 percent lof the -citizens of
' that section signed the petition asking
the government to begin work on the
. dam.
Thirty Million DoFar Smith
o Walter B. Smiih, outstanding lead|r
tr in advocacy of erection of the dam
here, expressed confidence that the
government wiU skxon begin work on
e the dam, basing his belief, he says,
upon the fact that so many of the
II citizens and tax payers have petitions
ed tile government to go ahead with
l' the work. Others here likewise be3|
liev:- that work will soon start on the
massive structure that win create a
lake which will cover a large area of
the lands in the bounty.
It was the belief of many citizens
f interviewed this week that the work
wocfid have already been started had
. it not been for an apparent objection
' to the plan. Since the petitions have
been so generously signed, however.
tt ? now belie-ved tile government will
. go ahead with the original pfans.
The dam at Bent Creek was in'
eluded in the TVA's original plan for
development on ine rennesSQK valiey.
" Severn danw were included in the .
' orogirral plans four of which have
been completed, or are now in conn*
| of construction. Many of the nation's

A fart grade of baseball that was
played here last season attracted huge
crowds and the fact was brought to

$150 for material, the iabor
being supplied by FE2&A funds. Built
150 feet in length it will extend along
the third base line between the diamond
and the highway. Also included
in the plans is a high backstop to cut
down the losa on balls.

forward by Hickman. He announced
