FARM EXPERT SEES SHORTAGE OF _ Florida County Agent Is Surprised at Few Hogs Raised Here FARMERSTbSlNG BY SELLING BULK GRAIN Corn at Present Prices Is Losing Proposition He Says “Your biggest shortage in Tran sylvania county insofar as I liave been able to see is hogs and cat tle, with special emphasis on hogs,” sail County Agent S. A. Albert of Jacksonville, to a rep resentative of The Times here Monday. Mr. Lawton, who has been visiting for several days at Camp Keystone, is regarded as an authority on farming and agricul tural interests, and has traveled over the entire county while here. “With all the corn being grown in the count.v. and with the low price at which it is now selling, it is easy to see that thousands of dollars are being lost each year by the farmers of Transylvania county, by not selling the corn through hogs and cattle instead of putting it on the market for a cash price that will not pay for the raising,” the agriculturist said. Mr. Lawton was impressed wijfch the “Rotating Pig Club” move ment being put on in this county, expi-essing the opinion that i't was one of the most forward steps -taken in any county in th’is section, and one that would con tinue to grow in importance as the purebred stock became scat tered over the community. Many acres of land can be seen lying idle, the Florida man said, that could be made profitable if put to grain and the grain in turn marketed through livestock. Street Dances To Be Free in Town Economy Step Taken Re garding Light System No charge can be made in the future for participation in street dances in the town of Brevard, and dances of this type can only be held on consent of the street department of the town and con sent of abutting property owners, the city fathers ruled at the meet ing held Monday night.
