The Industrious Farmers club
of Boyd township met at Penrose

Professor Julian Glazener, leader
in the 5-10 work, Mrs. Bates Pat
ton, director of the women’s work,
and Miss Virginia Wilcox, home

Several talks were made in re
gard to entering the county fair
to be held in Brevard October 1,
After these informal discussions
it was voted to enter Boyd town
ship exhibits in separate booths.
The^ different fair committees
of the townships are to meet Mr.
Glazener this week and formulate
plans, Mr. Glazener announced.
After discussing' plans for en
tering the fair, the ladies repair
ed to another room and discussed
with Miss Wilcox their part in the
fair program. Mr. Glazener talked
to the men on winter cover crops
and shov/ed what many people
need to know about the three le
gumes, crimson clover, vetch and
Austrian peas. This last named
legume seems to be more desir
able. according to statistics 'given
by the leader. Some of the Pen
rose farmers are expecting to give
this winter pea a good trial. The
good in this plant is that it is a
legume and produces a very large
amount of foliage that may be
turned under earlier than vetch or
crimson clover.

FOOTBALL IS NOW CERTAINTY
FOR BREVARD HIGH SCHOOL
Brevard is to have a football
team. Definite action is being tak

the purchase of equipment, which
w-'ill be received by ihe last of the
week.
Season tickets are being sold
this week to every person in the
community who is interested in
the football team, $1.25 each be
ing charged for the season tick
ets, which will allow privilege of
seeing four games at Brevard dur
ing the season.
Thirty-five boys are out for
practice, with a likely looking
first string being whipped into
shape by Coach Tilson. Several
last year men are out for their
old positions with new material
adding interest to the race.
In the backfield Clayton, Eng
lish and Price are again seeking
a berth, while Hinton, Neill,

are trying for places in the line.
First scheduled game calls for
the local eleven to play at Christ

Tilson stated Wednesday morning.
Daily workouts are being held
