The winter rains will settle the soil around ^ the roots, and the plants will be < established before the hot wea- i ther of next spring comes along. J Deciduous shrubs and trees ? j those that lose their leaves as ^ soon as cold weather arrives ? may be transplanted as soon as they . have lost most of their leaves. They are usually dug up with bare roots. The roots must not be allowed to dry out while the 3 shrubs are waiting to be trans planted. 1 It is not uncommon to see a per- ' son drive out Into the country. 1 dig up dogwood trees in the woods, ( tie them to the running board of ' the car with no protection for the roots, drive back home again. - and, with the roots thoroughly '? dried out, transplant them in the, 1 yard. Such a plant has very little 1 chance to live. Evergreens are usually trans- 1 round with a ball of earth a- i round their roots held in plance i by a piece of burlap. It is not < necessary to remove the burlap < in transplanting. After the shrub i is set in the hole simply untie i or unpin the burlap around the stem, throw the flaps back and ] fill the hole with earth. The bur- i lap will soon rot away. Balled i and burlapped shrubs in cans, may be transplanted at any time , during the year. ( In transplanting shrubs or trees, c dig a hole large enough and deep enough to accommodate the root i system without bending or crowd- < ing. Separate the topsoil from the BUbsoil and fill in around the j roots with topsoil. Do not put I fertilizer or fresh manure in the hole in contact with the roots. 1 Pack the soil around the- roots so that no air pockets are left. Thorough watering is advisable. ' Shrubs and trees that are fresh ly dug for transplanting probably have had a considerable portion of their root system cut off in the ' digging operation. The tops of ' such trees and shrubs should be carefully pruned in order to bal ance the tops with the root sys | tems. Killian Animals Among Best Of Feeder Sale Dr. Frank M. Killian was the lone consignee of animals to the W. N. C. Feder Calf Sale from this county. And, his 10 animals were among the best of the sale. He had three heifers and two steers graded "fancy" and four steers and one heifer "choice." One of the steers was in second place in the sale, bringing $23.10 per hundred. The six steers brought an aver age of $21.28 per hundred; three heifers averaged $18.60; and the fourth heifer brought $17.88. "Creep feeding" with grain pro duced these top quality animals, according to County Agent T. H. Fagg. The sale was held October 3 in Asheville.

CitijPadi Scene On The Beaten Path By MRS. ALLEN SILER The splendor of October coloring las now reached its height in Vestern North Carolina. That and )ctober's matchless weather are /hat make the month stand out n my mind from all the others, rrlbute has been paid October >y Innumerable writers and poets >ver the years, and we mount ?ineers can understand why. We re literally surrounded by beauty luring October. What does October mean to ou? To me, it means a yardful of eaves to be raked and clogged :utters to be cleaned, but it also neans the new moon coming up iveV "Leafy Hill" (Slagle Memor al). It means getting winter clothes, melling of mothballs, out of itorage, but it also means the estive and exciting air of a foot >all game. It means starting a fire in the urnace and cleaning summer's iccumulated dust from the radi itors, but it also means the smell if wood smoke on a chilly autumn evening and the comfort and cozi less of sitting before an ? open ire. It means fallen walnuts to be >icked up and stored, but it also neans the indescribable glory of a unset over Trimont. It also- means the last picnic if the year and a drive where each urn of the road brings new and xciting combinations of color. It means days of cloudless blue ikies and the golden sunshine >f Indian summer. It means that I am thankful ust to be alive in the month if October. Deal Graduated From Army School Pvt. Charles F.

She was one of 31 at tending from this state, which, in cidentally, is second in the nation in home demonstration member ship with 69,053.

"Texas Fiesta" in an open air theatre; another play, "Texas Un der Six Flags," which traced the birth and growth of Texas from the Earliest Indian to the pres ent; or an address by Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, former Eisenhower cabinet member.
