""""" ' The work of the state board of charities and public welfare in rais ing old age assistance grants from less than an existence level in many instances to more nearly ade quate sums is shown by the fact that the estimated average month ly grant to the needy aged indi vidual during the coming quarter will be $12 as compared with an average of $8 for the state during August, when, the county average's ranged from $4.02 to $16.50fper in dividual, Mr. Parker said. It is estimated that 14.0(H) chil dren will receive an average of $5.50 a month ( during the quarter on the basis of the social security board grant for the state-federal aid to depenreiu children program, Mr. Parker said. As in the other programs, the social security board grant will be supplemented with state funds! During August, he pointed out, only 4,000 children in 1,223 families were aided under the program. They received an average of $5.52 (luring that month. Similar development of the Norm Caroliaa-Federal program for aid to the blind, which is administered by the state commission for . the blind of which Dr. Roma S. Cheek is cxectitive secretary, also is shown by comparative figures, Mr. Parker said. . The social security board grant of $47,287.01 for that program during the next three months, he pointed out, was based on estimates that 1,490 blip d persons would re ceive an average of $20.15 each month during the coming quarter. During August aid was extended to 978 blind persons, who received an average grant of $14.27 through out the state, while county average payments ranged from $8 to $21 a month, Mr. Parker said. Arouse Interest To Sell Home Products interest in the ' marketing of home products as a source of cash income for rural women is. being stimulated over the state this year by attractive ' exhibits of roadside markets, handicrafts, and herbs. Attention was centered on road side, markets last spring when the Wake county 'home demonstration club women won the sweepstakes prize at the Raleigh Garden club flower show with their roadside market booth. Similar exhibits, all prize-win tiers, were displayed during the summer in flower shows and festi vals at Middle-burg, Graham, Wal lace and Wilmington. The , exhibit at Wallace received favorable comment from Mrs. Franklin , D. Roosevelt when she visited there, and was mentioned in her newspaper column a little later, said Cornelia C. Morris, of the State college extension service The most recent exhibit of road side marketing, arranged by the Long Branch home demonstration club at the Robeson county fair, won first prize of $25. Much attention was also attracted by an old-fashioned herb garden and shanty arranged by the Lumb er Bridge club, Robeson county Forty-eight specimens of locally- grown henbs were on display. . A tea table prepared for brewing herb teas displayed cookies, jellies, and candies flavored with mint and other culinary herbss Medicinal herbs and herbs used for fragrance were also shown. Jackson county sent an exhibit of more than 50 varieties of herbs to State college last summer for ex hibits during Farm 'and Home week. Many of these were rare speci ments brought from foreign lands by early settlers. .

This cove is almost on top of the Blue Ridge moun tains and is four miles from High lands and eight miles from Cash iers Vailey. The Cove used to be known as 'TickCns Horse Cove" and is said to have derived its name in this way: General Andrew Pickens, many years, ago., owned the well known "Tcmassee" farm in the up per part of Oconee county, S. C. He was a stock raiser and was in the habit of sending his young horses and mules to these moun tains to pasture on the wild pea vine which grew so luxuriously here, but alas is gone, . with so much of the natural wild growth. So he would come at intervals to this cove to visit his stock and would camp, here for. a week or so, hunting deer, bear, turkeys and other game which was to be found he"re. The country in those days was inhabited only by Indians. The place continued to be known as Pickens Horse Cove until 1852 or 1853 when a postofficc was established and called Horse Cove. The office was in the hotel of S. W. Hill, who at that time owned and kept the only hotel for many miles, his daughter being appointed postmaster. The mail route ran from Cashiers to Horse Cove and on to Clayton, Ga. It was carried on horseback three times a week and how welcome that mail must have been ! After the war was over a. new mail route was established from Walhalla, S. C, to Horse Cove and Franklin. It took six days to make the trip, on horseback. Tins place has been visited for years past by not a few Charlcs tonians, who well remember it as being a very attractive place, and it is today as I write this, one spot pure as the mountain air, and now as the last rays of the setting sun arc turning the top of Black Rock mountain, the prayer comes to me, "God grant it may never be, spoiled by the hands of man.

How often should male -birds be changed in the poultry, flock? A. This, of course, depends .upon whether there is a danger of di rect inbreeding. Where this hap pens the male birds should be changed every year. Direct inbreed ing lowers, the vitality of the. lock and makes the pullets susceptible to disease. However, a good male anay be used two or three years if there is no inbreeding, but it is always best to introduce new blood lines in the flock every two or three years under any conditions. Q. Should fertilizer be applied to a lawn after planting? A. If the lawn has just been seeded there is no need for any fertilizer application as this is al ways mixed in the soil before the seed are sown. For a year or two year-old lawn an application of 300 to 400 pounds of a 4-10-4 mixture should be made either during the winter or early spring. The ferti lizer should be applied when the leaves are free from rain or dew and, if possible, just after a show er. These annual applications are not usually required after the lawn is three years old. LEGAL ADVERTISING NOTICE OF SALE State of North Carolina, , County of Miaoon. Macon County, Plaintiff, vs. W. L.
