Farming and Gardening.
It has been estimated that a
back yard 2.")X,")0 feel with a small
investment in seed and fertilizer
could be made to supply a fainilv
of six with fre.sh vej;etables
throughout the .season or yield

In the face of the high cost of
living it ])ehooves every man with
a family and back yard to convert
it into a money value by cultivat
ing a garden. In addition to ma
terially reducing the cost of living
it will give whole.soine exercise
and result in better health and
more contented minds.
It appears to the News that
there are great possibilities in this
respect in and around Brevard,
where there is always a good mar
ket during the summer season. A
few acres of ground under intense
cultivation would work wonders.
Farmers are confronted with
great possibilities. Their crops
were destroyed last year but the
fields for the greater part on the
river were covered with rich set
tlings and the day has come for
the two proverbial blades of grass
where one used to grow.
Coy Whitmno, who was seri
ously hurt while workins; on a
railroad trestle near Quebec, is im-
provinfr slowly, being able now to
walk about the house by means of
cratches.
Mrs. T. C. McCall, who has been
seriously ill for some time, while
improving a little, is still unable
to use one arm in any way.
The little pound and a half baby
of Mr. and Mrs. John Miller died
on Wednesday afternoon of last
w’eek and was buried Friday morn
ing at Rosman.
On Thursday night of last week
some parties—doubtless moon
shiners—pried up the ties on a
railroad trestle between Quebec
and Reid’s siding and took from
the trestle chords five tier of the
sheet iron which is used by the
railroad company as a covering for
the chords. It is the general opin
ion that those who filched this
sheet-iron trestle chord protection
intended to use it in the manufac
ture of a moonshine distilling
plant. The signs about Reid’s
siding Saturday night seem to con
firm this opinion.

DRV BOARD MEETING
ThA special and regular meetinsr
of the town council was void of
any interesting developments on
Monday night, when those holding
receipts for taxes advertised as due
were requested to present same.
Very few tax receipts were pre-
sented, the showing being much
more favorable than complaints
had indicated.
CIVILIZATION VS. BARBARISM
Editor, Brevard News:
We have a national flag, al
though some people don’t seem to
know it to judge by their attitndo,
and now’ is the very besf time to
show that all true Americans are
behind our president in whatever
steps he thinks best to ui)hold the
dignity of our country and protect
the rights of our people on sea and
land. It hardly seems possible that
war with Germany can be averted,
certainly not if (Jermany can bring
it about, and we should all be
ready to do our part and show our
patriotism and loyalty to our
country in these days, now and to
come. I would like to see every
one who has a flag (and get one if
yon don’t have one) display it as
long as relations with Germany are
such as they are today. And be
fore this is in print we may be at
actual war with Germany. “As
sume a virtue if you have it not.”
Even if you don’t feel patriotic
show that you are in touch with
the rest of thecon?»try, andthereb-
show the i)resident that you ar^
backing him up even if some cow
ards and pro-Germans in congress
are trying to hamper him.
Goethe wrote: “The Prussians
are savages; civilization makes
them ferocious.” Do yon stand
for humanity and civilization, or
ferocious barbarity? The lines are
clean cut; put up your flag and
show that you stand for civiliza
tion. P. Noble Simons.
