aiuj a half acres in Sudan grass and
Tfstffg 73 pounds of 3u<?sn
: and *6 bushgls of soy heans. He u.-ed
as fertilizer for this crop $ sacks
| of nitrate of s:da and 5 sacks oi
1 3-8-3 fertilizer^ He has on eXhibi
tion a bunch of this mixture which
i is ten feet high, and has mowed
1200 pounds, 6 tons, which he >iys
is as fine hay as any one could wish.
On this farm Mr. Pass sow.$jjt,
this season 175 pound-? of Sudan^
; grass. 160 pounds cf vetch, 11 bush- 1
! els of soy beans and four and cnej
half bushels of peas, and in addi
tion has sixty thousand tobacto hills,
forty thousand of which is as fine
as Was ever seen In that section.
Mr. Pass says next spring when
many farmers will he hauling out
western hay, at a c;st of thirty or
; forty dollars a ton, he will be f ?etl
; ing his. own Hay at a cost f les?
, than five d,ollar< a ton. And /what

REPORT OF GRAND
JURY AUGUST TERM
County Jail and Courthouse
Are In Good Condition; la
adequate building
COt'NTY HOME VISITED
We. the grand jury at this the
August 1 926- term of Person County
Superior Court, make the following
import to His Honor, Frank A. Dun
iels,. .ludge presiding.
^ We hats? examined all bills pre
sented to us by the solicitor ?nd
acted upon, them as we have .see n
best and have, made presentments
as we have seen fit.
. The cunty jail and the courthouse
have been examined and we find
both in. as go .id condition and as
well kept as the rather inadequate
buildings wiil permit- The offices
in the court house appear to be well
kept. We wish to approve of the
plan to build a decent toilet in the
court be use which we -understand js
under the consideration uf. thife. coun
ty commissioners.
A committee from our body vi.-;t
ed the county home. Everything
tliere was . in good shape, ' the build
ing shewing the effect of careful
attention, the farm and garden the
effect f skilful cultivation, and the
inmates expressed themselves: as. be
ing well treated and looked after
carefully, all testifying to the dili
gence and attention to his work on
the part of the retiring superintepd
ant, Mr. Harris.
A. report from the county supet
intvndant of sch-tols wa3 heard w'fvch
was full and informative.
We wish to recommend to ojjr rep
resentative in the next state General]
Assembly that he take such sUps
as to secure the adoption of the six
month's grand jury system, for Poi
son County, as we think the change
to that system would be in the test
interests of the coiinfv. We tin- j
cerstand that this, system is gradual- ]
ly supplanting the old system ever
the whole cf the state, and we think ;
It" in line with progressive irrand ?
jury s^ryiqe.
We wUh to thank -His Honor fo;
his kindnrr.s'to this body during 'hi.
term and to bespeak ur admiration
of his method of conducting a ^sTi'irt

A MARKET FOR EGGS
HELD OUIJO FARMER
Hatcheries of State Offer Prem
ium Above Local Price Of
Esks In State
WANT PITREBRED STOCK
Continuous!^ throughout our lives
j opportunity presents- Itself time and
??<tfain. Somethimes we fail to reoog
| nize it, and ;even at times when we
i do, we fail to realize its wo-th. Con
sequently, it passes oh and .--omo one^
else takes 'advantage of it;
This is as t^'ue with farming a*
any other vocation in life. "EVery
Xorth Carolina farmer knows that
i for the past three year* it has been
? possible for hip> t . sell his poultry
On a* basis compared with market
prices 011 the ro: thorn markets.
This is a newly created opportunity,
. that of selling live poultry ..cj-opora
? lively,. and many farmers are taking
advantage of it.. However, this has
not been true with the selling of
eggs. It has been more difficult to
market " North Carolina eggs com
pared with market prfes on the
? northern markets and many requests
have been made by farmers for a
market for their eggs.
N':w here the new opportunity:
The loading hatcheries in this state
are offering this year, for the com
ing hatching season, a premium
above local prices for eggs. The
eggs must come from purebred flocks
? that have been blood tested. The
' cost of this to the flock owners will
be to cents per bird tested.
It is very simple. Just a little
j. effort on the part of flock owners
and they .will have ? a continuous
market tor their eggs. This will be
true- tor an indefinite number of
I years. Hatchery owners hare had
? tj ten outside of this state. in order
to obt iip -.'gs from purebred flocks
for their 'hatcheries. In addition
new and larger hatcheries are open
ing for business this year One
. hatchery ;u ' partic-iiiii Wjil. oe able
to "use the eggs from 3,000 hens this
?eason, and is now. contracting for
iggi from pui'ebred flocks at a
premium ;ihove local price. Fron
. December 1st- through February 23,
not ? less than 50 cents per dozen.
From Match 1st through May 1 5th,
not less than 3? cents per ti /.en.
Got a Baby
For Two Tires
A Stranger with Ms wife and baby
drove ;ip to the parage of J. Maf

: to buy two used tries at $18,50 on
time. Mafente refused. "We'll leave

pi opo-ed apparently jokinsr. Further
conversation developed that the eou
I pit- were planning a trip into ttte
hills and would be triad to leave the
, baby with somoonc as they intended
to routfh it for a few days. The
baby had an appealing smile and
the Mafeiites agreed to care for him

the baby. "It. n't care if they nrver
