Kiilians of Catawba Expert Wheat
Growers.
Newton, July 26 —W. L. Kil
lian and J. Yates Killian, his son.
who is Catawba's representative
in the Legislature, although pri
marily nursery men, are alao
such good geceral farmers that
have about made the record in
Catawba county this jear on
wheat, threshing 216 bushels
from eight acres, an average of
about twenty-seven bushels.
Crops of every kind are luxuri
ous this year and Catawba farm
ers are for a fact "in clover".
Dr. R. B. Killian, of Lincoln
(county, brother of W. L. Killian,
I has produced perhaps the most
i phenominal wheat crop in this
j section, making 2,800 bushels in
fall, and on twenty acres receiv
ing. 719 bushels, an average of
thirty-five bushels.
Catawba's Wealth.
Newton, July 27.— Catawba
County will show an increase of
not quite $1,000,000 in the tax
able valuation of property this
year as compared with last—
-5944,850 to be exact. The total
valuation will foot up $7,130,397,
as compared with $6,135,547, in
1914. Details of the increase
and other facts about the new
valuation are being rushed by
the register of deeds for trans
mission to the State Tax Com
mission, which passes on the
showing and raises the valuation
if deemed too low. Catawba is
still one of the "pauper" coun
ties in that she gets more from
the State than she pays to the
State, and in the opinion of some
progressives this should not be.
Must Throw Away Cigarette.
According to The Carolina
Mountaineer the school board of
Haywood County has decided not
to allow any teacher who smokes
cigarettes to teach school in that
county. This is certainly a step
in the right direction, for there
is no way of estimating the ex
tent of the influence a cigarette
smoking teacher would have up
on the young boys, seeing the
teacher puffins away at a ciga
rette from day to day. would
look upon the habit as being all
right and doubtless hundreds of
them would fall into this filthy,
expensive and destructive habit.
The Haywood committeemen are
to be commended for their action
in this matter. May our school
board soon follow this lead. —The
Sylvan Valley News.
