Tal-' ley of the Penrose section, is fol lowing a practice many othej' farmers would do well to try. Some time ago someone suggest ed to 'him to cut his com acreage and-have more pasture for live stock. The idea seemed sensible to Mr. Talley and was put into effect. He cut as was suggested and is now making more corn on much less land, with less work, and besides sells cream and milk. He is contemplating further cuts. Mr. Talley can show some, excel lent corn, uniform and good siz ed ears, running very free of small ears and “nubbins.” He is becoming an experienced believer also in lespedeza, lime and' clover, grows his own wheat for biscuits, and uses intelligent judgment in rotating crops, ex perimenting, etc. Several Penrose farmers have, the Austrian winter peas coming along nicely. We believe this win ter legume is going to do well here and hope for a success with it. C. F. Woodfin has been run ning two teams in fall plowing, turning under I’ye stubble. That’s good farming to_o. That stubble will have time to decay and feed the corn crop next year. Mr. Woodfin is another farmer^ who reads and also uses bis own good judgment in farming. He too is a believer in lespedeza. He has •threshed .several bushels^ of, les-. pedeza seed for sowing ' next' spring. Ralph Woodfin has been spend ing sometime sowing grain on his farm near Gramling, S. C. He ex pects to move to his place the first of the year. T. G. Miller of Penrose, and railroad operator at Pisgah For est, has sold his place here to W. L. Couch and has moved near the Ed Patton farm at Davidson Riv er. Mr. Couch is moving into his new home. We are sorry to lose the Millers, but glad to have the Couch familv in our midst. ,Mr. Couch works «s yard man Tor'the Southern In Ashevilk. He was formerly a very successful salesman of Ford and Chevrolet cars, working at Brevard, Canton and Hendersonville at different times. Mr. Miller has been very much alive to community inter ests while living here. He has been chairman of the 5-10 farm movement and rendered excellent services. Through his planning and help Boyd was assisted in winning the township prize at the Sylvan Valley fair.
