KEEP OUR STREETS CfcEyfN VOL. XXX No. 36 KEEP, . ?UR STREETS FARM NEWS By L. A. AMMON It Has Rained Not quite proper "to talk about weather in society, but that was sure enough a rain, covering much of the County. The most general since last April. The wind and hail that was with the rain did some damage to. corn. The dough farm reports much corn down level. Shall We Seed Yet? Now that regular rains are quite sure, the big question is. shall we put in the grass and clover seed that we failed to get in or lost"? For ^imson clover and hairy vetch I would say yes. without much fear. The grasses can yet be sowed with out a great deaf of gamble. The red clovers are the most uncertain, but that will largely depend on the winter. Moist and mild winters us ually follow dry summers. Last year a large number of peo ple seeded clover in September and some in October, after corn was off. The com wa> blown down so that they could not seed earlier. To my surprise, the clover came through the winter in good shape, and would have made a pood average crop, had the weather not been so hot and dry. There is some gamble, but it looks to me that the chances are in favor of ' sowing during the early part of September, and if it contin ues warm, then a little later. ?" To fail to sow your hay crop will carry the results of this years drought over into another year in a most definite way, and as for the soil, it will be remembered several years, unless other means are taken ~ to supply what your hay sod does. I saw a similar summer in Michi gan. where the seeding was all ' killed. The result was that the av erage yield of potatoes was cut 25 bushels for the first year, and less for three years. It w^s a Hard blow to the farmers, and from that I would say. "Get in your seed if possible." Cattle The expected rush of Western cattle on the Eastern market has not materialized to any great extent. "They haven't got 'em." is the way a Southwesterner put it today. Ac- j cording t othis man's talk, the ; ern cattle raisers, and by that be meant those whet have them by the thousands, have given up the gaiwe. Now having about one-fourth the usual number. Over-stocking of ^ht range has just about killed the na- ; rural grasses. If ;t is true that the West hast not the cattle, it will help explain why , cattle are higher this year than last. The market is now two cents higher than last year. The local price is around one cent higher. With market, conditions as they are, good steers should bring not less than five cents. Some have been s?ld for four and one-half. Potatoes On strength of the favorable , northern crop, and the extra amount rtf early Northern potatoes, they have dropped around twenty-five cents per bushel. One-fifty at the farm is now the general price, and i a reasonable <>De. considering the price obtained by shipping. The prospect of a large yield o: Northern potatoes during Augi> does not mean a great deal, as bep tember makes or spoils the crop. The trucks are taking our pota toes at a rate that we will have no surplus by December. The big ques tion is, shall we disregard them and ?hip our potatoes, or wait till they come for them. STATE AUTO LICENSE BUREAU OFFICIALS VISIT IN BREVARD Officials from, the State Automo bile License Bureau from Raleigh, were in Brevard Tuesday of this week regard the use of - expired license tags. Several automobile owners in and around Brevard, who are still getting by with thei old license tags and ' without any. . ere seized by the of-j ficials. but were allowed to go after' putting up the price of a_ tag. No arrests were. made. LOCAL CAMP SONS OF CONFEDERATES FORMED The. French Broad Camp Sons of' Confederate Veterans was organized here last Friday with a membership of 15. Ti H.

It is hoped that Mr. Ross will visit the site of the course within a few days and will do the preliminary work toward laying off the eighteen holes. Actual construction work is to be started just as soon as possible. Construction work is now going forward on one hole to be used by the members in practice. Thirty ;ier cent -of the subscriptions to the capital stock of the. club were called at the meeting and with the $5,000 thus secured work will be pushed a* rapidly as possible. Minor repairs and alterations are being made on the club house and lights installed, bringing the build ing up to the requirements.

A number of social functions are ex pected to be held immediately fol lowing the formal openmg of the dub house.

Except for brie! items of interest there was littlc news in the capital city during tlu j week. A number of State official, are on vacation and the summer per iod is being passed with as little ef fort as possible. The Governor issued an official statement Sunday morning declaring he had investigated conditions at State Sanatorium for Tuberculars and found conditions better than heretofore, no reason for alarm, and that the turning- out of patients w?.s NOT a new policy. He criticized the Associated Press for sending out a story portraying- conditions at the Sanatorium which focussed public at tention on the institution. He backed up his statement with letters from the officers of the institution regretting the impression which had gotten out. It was stated that if a'1 emergency arose it would be cared for at any and all state institutions. The Associated Press replying to the Governor's criticism merely content ed itself with reciting that its story had been issued with an official statement from Sanatorium as its basis, that fifteen days had elapsed and no denial of the story had been made until the Governor investi gated the situation and pointed out that the essential facts that the pa tients were to be turned out was not denied tior was it denied that shortage of room was the reason. i I It is estimated that the total v;..ue 1 of land sales transacted in Brevard the past ninety days is in the neigh- j j borhood of one million dollars. A large proportion of th?* property exchanged has been sold to tourists and people with outside interests, and also much of it has been ex changed among the residents them selves. Some of the property sold is in the business section, opening up most desirable locations for business enterprises, of which there have been | about fifteen during the past three months. 1 | During the thirty days just pased there have been ten or more land auction sales, including both busi ness blocks and residential subdivi sions, with the total value of sales for the month of August amounting to approximately $300,000. In ad dition to the property sold as sub divisions, some 200 private sales have been transacted during the month. The property sold as subdivision during the month <>f August may br listed as follows: The Dr. Wall is subdivision on I'a'r Avenue, consisted in the sale yf lots, or one and one-half .acres, with the value of sales estimated a* $3,670.

The* press organization added its re gret that the story ha<* been con strued to mean maintenance were low and stated its basis f?i this was the statement of the super intendent of the sanator-uni that n< funds had been provided to cafe for maintenance of prisoners for 1925 1927, while $37,500 a year had beer provided during the previous bien nium for each year. As the situation stands, it is ap parent that patients will be re quired to leave within eighteer months after they were taken into the institution or as soon as possible thereafter. The Governor's investi gation has nott changed the :;tatu of this order of the Board though : explained its reasons for issuing the order. The earlier press reports on Sanatorium cited this as its majo fact. Patients will be turned out of Sanatorium because of lack of room. SERVICES AT METHODIST CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY Rev. S. C.

THE PRAYER CORNER I * ? | THE HABIT OF CHEERFULNESS We have no right to add to '.he sorrows of the world by being: gloomy or discontented. We. all create a certain soul' atmosphere. Let u.s see to it that the atmosphere we are creating every day may help others to thank God, and rake coin age. We can all walk in the glad consciousness of sins forgiven, and in the radiance of God's wonderful love. Dorothy Quigley shows how vital j soul force can be thrown away I- J those who are not careful to culti vate "The Habit of Every Day Cheerfulness." She says: "Every thing proves to us that cheerfulness upbuilds, uplifts, attracts." Be cheerful. Grumbling, whining and complaining are just so much-< apitaf taken from your bank account ol" mental force, and put to a very iioir use ? indeed t" no use at all. If you drew your money out of your bank every day, and tossed it into t h? ? sea. people would deem you i lsane. You would soon become poor and neglected. You waste your precious God-given force just as foo.ishly, and lose your power of attracting by fretting over trifles ? a let tt r ex pected. a bit of, dirt on the floor, imaginary insults, and a hundred other silly false ideas. Your vita? energy, your very life, is thu-. use lessly dissipated and soon, you neg lect, ami people study how t . avoid you, and you lose oppurtun ie? oi success. Determine t-> f>e < he -rful Project a vision, a picture of your self as cheerful, lovable cou?;igeou?. hopeful, and make vourseldf li :e it. A PRAYER FOR CHEERFULNEES O Thou God of Cheer and Good Will, let us not add to the soitowV of the world by our gloom ot dis content, but let u?i see to it that thi atmosphere we are creating, eve-j day may help others to thank Th"? and take courage. We can all walk in the glad consciousness of >i.- for given, and in the radiance "f Thy wonderful love. Help us to culti vate the Habit of Every Day Cheer fulness, for cheerfulness upbuilds uplifts, attracts. Make u.s cheerful, our Father, open our eyes to set that grumbling, whining, -complain ing. is just so much capital taken from our bank account of mental force and put to a very pour use ? indeed to no use at all. Let us not waste our preciou* God-given force and lose our power of attraction by fretting over th trifles, thus uselessly dissipa ,:g on ? vital energy, yea, our very life, turning people from us and lo-in;*" opportunities of success. u cheerful, Thou God of Che.r. giv to us a vision, a picture of ou.Mivo as cheerful, lovable. courage< u- and helpful, an dto make ourselves !ik?; it.
