AMMON The Farm Agent will go to Ashe ville to see the seed houses about grass and clover seed on Wednes day. See him after that for prices. Just now it looks like high prices for most seed. ' Hay Crop 1927 With seed high, but a few kinds ( more reasonable, it makes one scratch his head to know what to , plant. Clover at 40 cents is out of reason to use in large quantities. I Four pounds to the acre mixed with timothy at 12 1-2 cents, makes a mixture that does not cost, so much. Orchard grass is also among the reasonable ones. Tall meadow oat grass, is about the same as last year, ? about 20 cents. Prices are not ' sure yet'. Where only horses are to eat the r' hay, I would recommend timothy alone. Six to ten pounds per acre. Good soil and good seed six pounds will give a good stand, while on poorer land and more chafy seed* you may need ten pounds to get the same stand. Good soil saves on the seed bill. Tall meadow oat grass can be j used alone at the rate of 16 to 20, pounds per acre. This grass has. , proven very good so far, for hay or 1 pasture. Makes two crops of hay and an all season pasture. The worst drawback is in sowing. Seed hang together so that you must sow by hand and in corn one row at a time. Should be drug in as the seed need much moisture to bring them . up. On loose land that is fresh, a ! good rain will do this. Red top or herds grass at 40 , cents is too high to use outside of a1 pasture mixture. Velvet grass, we! know as misquite is a good substi- j tute for the herds grass. Seed : hard to get. Hunting for some. Pasture Mixture Red top 3 Pounds, orchard grass 3 pounds, timothy 3 pounds, white clover 3 pounds, Japan clover 3 , pounds. On north sides use Ken- 1 . tucky blue in j)lace of timothy. On j black bottoms increase red top a pound or so, and leave out timothy, and orchard grass and add tall meadow oat grass instead. If you wish to add to the first mixture add tall meadow oat grass, say three or four pounds. These mixtures have been tried out in this county and at the Buncombe Experiment Station, and have been found good. The nine girls making the trip to the Summer Short Course at Ra leigh, left with the Home Agent, on Monday, in the highest of spirits. Let's have more of them next year. The County Club meeting will be held from July 19-22 inclusive. Expect to meet at Rocky Bottom Club Camp in Pickens County, just three miles from our County line. The cost will be higher, as we have to pay rent for camp. Two dollars per member is the fee. Make your plans to be there boys and girls. We hope to have fifty or more. MRS, W. N.

IMPRESSIONS OF BAXTER M'LENDON, (By S. P. VERNER) I went to hear Baxter McLemioi; Sunday night prejudiced against him by what some people had said about him. I went home regarding him as ^>ne of the most remarkable men 1 had ever heard, and as the most powerful preachcr with the excep tion of Dwight L. Moody ? and 1 have heard Moody, John Hall, Tal madge, Palmer, Vance, Roosevelt. McAdoo, Tillman, McKinley, Taft, Cleveland, Cameron Morrison and ? some others. * i "The common people heard hhii gladly." That was the test in the days of Jesus Christ, and it still 1 holds good. But the cultured Ro man had also somewho could ap preciate Him, an 'dthose who can . get most out of Baxter MeLendori, j if their intellectual and social cul ture is high enough, are exactly those whose powers to appreciate pathos, wit, description, intense concentration of thought, the abil ity and the courage to tell the truth, and sincerity, are highest. , This man ought to be encouraged. He is a phenomenon ? a voice cry ing in the wilderness, a note come up from poverty and hardship into the notice of mankind, who need I him. He does use a strong, lan guage ? but so did Christ, John, Shakespeare, John Knox (what did he call Mary Stuart, Presbyterians?) There is a sort of weak varnish af fected ''culture worn by some peo ple which may not stand McLen don, but those who have the real thing wil lnot be hurt. It is amus ing to hear some folk who think it culutred to read Balzac and Du Maupassant and Tolstoi profess to regard McLendon as "vulgar." If they think the Frenchmen and the Russian may be read because they are not preachers, then be it said that they might give a chance to a preacher who is wittier than tiie Frenchmen, wiser than the Russian, and donig among his pepole what Savonarola did in Italy. McLendon is not a conscious sensationalists. I believe he even tries not to be unconsciously so. But the volcanic quality in him can no more be kept from making an impression than the fires of Aetna can be kept from stirring up the solid rocks of the mountains. Give him a fair show. Lake Toxaway sections, including Camp Comfort, Camp Greenville, Piedmont Camp, Camp Toxaway, Camp Merrie-Woode, and others. Just prior to the opening of the camps for the regular summer sea son, three pre-season camps were in session, with a total of approxim ately 500 people in attendance, j These included the ten day encamp- ? ment held at Rockbrook Camp of i the American National Red Cross, and the ten day conference of the Southern Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A., also held at Rockbrook, and the gathering of the Episcopal Diocese of North and South Caro lina convening in a two week's ses i sion at Camp Transylvania.

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY | TO SELL CURTIS MAGAZINES j The Woman's Missionary society of the Methodist church has accep ted the selling plan of the Curtis Publishing company to take sub scriptions for the Ladies Home 1 Journal, Saturday Evening Post and 1 the Country Gentleman. Different members of the society Will accompany the agent THE PRAYER CORNER THE LOVE OF FREEDOM "For ye brethren wore called for Freedom" Galatians 6:13. A writer whom I highly esteem and whose love of freedom no one ques tions, says: "Nothing is more diffi cult to preserve than the True Love of Freedom in a Free Country." Being habituated to it, men cease to consider by what sacrifice it was obtained, and by what precautions and safeguards it must be defend ed. We need also to have a clearer conception of what Real Freedom is: "It is not a state of things in which every man does exactly and only what he likes. It is rath-r a state of mind in which men like to do what they can, what they oiay and what they ought. To enjoy it, a man must have some knowledge of his naatral powers, his civil privileges and his moral duties. By knowing and accepting Miese he becomes free to realize his host self as a member of mankind. Liberty itself is the great lc to our hearts the truth that no!hi::g is more difficult to preserve th:n the true love of freedom, in a :10c country, for being habituated t ?> it, We cease to consider by what ori fices it wss obtained, and by \v:;tt precautions and safeguards it :st be defended. Show us the lit- ! of having a clearer conception of what real freedom is. Let us .v.maber that it is not a state of thing.- in which every one does exactly and only what they like, but a stai- of mind in which we like to do v. hat we can, what wc may, and wlv" we ought. And that to enjoy i; Ae must have some knowledge of our natural powers, our civil privileges, and our nforal duties. By knowing and accepting these we become free to realize our best selves, as members of mankind. Open our eyes that we may see that Liberty itself is the great les son, and in learning it We need the wise, the just, and the free teach ers of all the ages. Above all and most of all, we need the help of religion, by which alone the foun dations of the state are laid in righteousness, and democracy is saved from its own suicidal tenden cies. Engraven on our hearts th o;;e blessed words of the Psalmist: "Happy is the people whose God is the Lord, and whose trust ,s in the Lord their God." And ..rive "S grace to show them forlh in o'ir lives, for Jesus sake. Amen. ? C. 1). C . MEETING IN PROGRESS AT BAPTIST CHURCH The revival services being r.?ld at the Baptist church this week are continuing in interest and attend ance, under the forceful preaching of Dr. Walter N. Johnson, of Mars Hill. Dr. Johnson is a deep thinker and preaches the plain Bibie truths in a strong and appealing mariner, and those who hear him are enjoy ing a rare treat. It is doubtful if a stronger man or a greater thinker has ever been to Brevard. The town is fortunate in having a :r,nn of his calibre to come among uf. Dr. Johnson is a quiet, unassum ing man, void of sensation or emo tion, but impresses his hearers as an earnest man of God whose chief de sire is to implant the unvarnished gospel truths into the hearts and minds of his audienc.', a.'.d to giw them a clearer insight and under standing of the scriptures as ap plied to present day life. These special services will con tinue through Sunday, with two ser vices held tacit day, one at ten o'clock in the morning and at eight o'clock in the evening. The attend ance is increasing with each ser vice.
