THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1939 PACE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN Local Lions Club Has "Clayton Night" .' On Monday , night, October 9, tire Franklin Lions club held their reg ular bi-weekly nice ting at Cable's Cafe with a nood attendance. Claude Bolton, genial accountant of the Nantahala I'owir and l.-ight company, was . welcomed as a new tuember. The program for the evening wa,i furnished by the .Claytoii Lions dub whiich was invited to give suggestions and inspiration to the young Franklin chili. Thc.-e were well given by X. M. Young, presi dent of the C'laytoii Lions club and an employee of. the Clay tun Mark et ; Ci. L. Tomlin, past president of the club, and manager ot the Tri Statlt Klcclric comiiaiiy, and Kev. W. d. Henry, Jr., cliainnan f the program committee and pastor of the Methodist church. From the energy and the strong public spirit that these men tioin Clayton exhibited, it is easy to ,-ee why Clayton's streets are al ways filled with tourists' cars. The conclusion was that what Clayton citizens have done, Franklin can do likewise-.. There has bren a Lions club in Clayton tor live vears. Chapel ' School P.-T. A.

Trees Grow Better When Land Prepared November 13 is the beginning of the planning season for broad leaved, or deciduous, trees and it is wise to prepare the land before setting out the seedlings, says K. W, Graeber, extension forester of State college. Pines and other evergreens iluould be set out in the winter and early spring, Graeber recommends that fur rows or light beds be plowed seven feet apart and checked with cross furrows at six-foot intervals on level land. If the land U roll ing, contour furrows should be plowed seven feet apart. ".In eith er case," the forester declared, "furrows should be plowed several weeks before planting." On galled spots, a mulch of woods litter, brush, cane pomace, grain straw, or similar material should be spread several weeks in advance of the planting date. Where the land is badly gullied, Graeber advises that dams be built before trees are set out tor provide a silt bed above each dam. ''Shovel off the edges of gullies to furnish better soil for silt beds behind dams,'! he says. As a rule, forest trees should be planted in idle open fields not suited for profitable production of annual ' crops or good pasture. Large openings: in the woods where "root competition is not too great also may be planted. Iln the mountains.' and upper Piedmont regions, where woods are open or poorly stocked due to grazing, the extension forester says that, tinder plantings of white pine or Norway spruce are advisable. Forest seedlings may be bought at a nominal cost from state for est nurseries through' county farm agents, Clippings LOOKING BACKWARD (From The Asbeville Cititen) Thanks to the public spirited ac tion of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, ar- tangements have been made for the transfer to the Library ot Congress at Washington of the papers of the great wartime President. The nation especially at this time should be grateful for such a gift. If Mr. Wilson's brain child, the League of Nations, had received the support it deservtd from the United States the planet might not be where it is today. In making up a list of the men who have brought about the present war, Senator Lodge Senior must have a place along with Mr, Hitler. One was at Jhe beginning of the chain of events, the Other at the end. INCOME American farmers' cash income during August totaled $643,(XX),0(X)I a rise of 13 per cent above the July income, and a slight increase over the $628,(XX),000 income of August, 1938. Prices The war in Europe will strength en .many farm prices here, the agricultural advisory council says, but consumers need have no fear of shortage or runaway prices.
