FARM NEWS
(By L A. AMMON)
Rye is not moving, and other sec
tions are letting down the price.
W e are holding to a general level
yet, and believe that October will
see considerable rye moving.
^ ield of molasses per acre is
hardly what the looks of the fields
would indicate. Juice is not rich in
sugar. Takes lots of boiling.
Molasses are said to make more
alcohol per acre than any crop we
can grow. If our gas gives out in
a few years, we ought to be able to
keep quite a few states running on
alcohol. A prospective industry if
some new invention does not come.
Mr. Gene Duckworth has an ex
ceptionally good field of late beans,
and the beetle is not doing a great
deal of damage yet. Expects to
market five hundred bushels of beans
during the next two or three weeks.
One good farmer is thinking of
buying a car load of heifer calves ?
grow them into cows and sell. The
present plan is to get Jerseys or
Gurnseys. A suggestion from pos
sible buyers as to breed preferred,
would help decide. Room for two
or more cars of good blood.
My first plans of buying cream
have fallen through, due to some in
formation furnished by our State
Dairy Specialist. Parties not what
we wish for. Now trying others,'
and preliminary letters look favor
able. Seems good to have someone
helping in a large way to help you
avoid trouble.
Moving pictures at Enon Thursday
night, and probably some other
places.
The Smith-Jones family have ad
ded three more purebred Jersey
cows to the county's family of
purebreds. Let's have more of
them, and a general disposition to
not buy anything but the purebreds.
Means much to the county in money
and time.
Have call for two purebred pigs
to head herds. Makes one feel good
to have requests to help get pure
bred animals for breeders.
Have you visited the Simmons
Ornamental Nursery? If you do
you will be surprised at what has
been done m two years, and doubt
less see some plants you will want in
your yard next year. Regardless of
the dry Spring, the plants have
made a better growth than in North
ern climates in a, favorable year.
That is why this nursery is work
ing here? Let's boost them along.
Time to put in that late patch of
rape for the chickens. Other
things are off the ground, so you
can sow. Good for humans too.

tries and compcte for the various
prizes t obe offered at the Western '
North Carolina Fair which will con

held at Recreation- Park, will be the ,
greatest fair in the state. I
Some of the different exhibits in

BIBLE INSTITUTE IS ]
CONSIDERING LOCAL I
APPEAL FOR MEET
ENDEAVOR BEING MADE FOR
PERMANENT LOCATION f
The Moody Bible Institute of
Chicago, 111., is seriously considering
the invitations sent from Brevird
by the Ministerial Association, the ,
Board of Aldermen and the Cham
ber of Commerce jointly with the
Woman's Bureau, to conduct a con
ference here next summer.
The Institute, conducted for two
weeks in Hendersonville during She
past summer, resulted in much goiod
in our neighboring city. Several
hundred people were drawn to the
community by it and the influence
for good was felt in many ways.
The civic organizations of Brevard
undertook to interest the extension
department of the Moody Bible In
stitute in conducting a conference
here next year in the hope of mak
ing this town a permanent location
for one of the annual institute. A
preliminary confercnce with South- '
era Field Manager Harry T. Mac
Broom and committees from the
four churches and civic organiza
tions of Brevard was held a few
weeks ago and the invitations above
referred to were authorized by ac
tion of the meeting.
Acknowledgement of the invita
tion of the Chamber of Commerce
is as follows:

Mr. W. H. Alexander
Brevard Chamber of Commerce
Brevard, N. C.
Dear Mr. Alexander:
We are in receipt of your cordial
invitation of the 23rd for us to con
duct a summer conference in Bre-(
vard, and I wish to thank you for
the courtesy. It rejoices ones
heart to find a group of business
men who have an appreciation of
the moral and spiritual value of a
Bible conference in their commun
ity. I can also assure you that such
a conference is a financial asset to
a city as well. It usually takes
a few years to get one estab
lished, but after it becomes known j
it brings a most desirable class of
people into the community. While
in Hendersonville last season J
learned of two families that had
located there, purchasing property
because of the Bible conference.
We are now beginning to work
out our program for next summer,!
and there are some related mattter?
that I should like to give considera
tion before giving you a definite
reply to your invitation, but I think
that we can arrange to be with you.
The hearty cooperation of the Min
isterial Union and the Chamber of
Commerce will, I am sure, count
for a great deal in making the con
ference a success.
Again thanking the Women's Bu
r&u, as well as the Chamber of
Commerce for the invitation, I am,
Cordially yours,
GEO. V. KIRK.
If the committee in charge of the
Moody Bible Institute is successful
in having a conference conducted
here next summer, it is desired to
make it one of the outstanding fea
tures of Brevard's summer season.
The Institute is non-sectarian in
character and is devoted altogether
to the study of the Bible. The fol
lowing citizens are members of the
committee endeavoring to locate *the
conference :

MOTION PICTURES ARE
SUPPLEMENTING CLASS
WORK IN B. H. S.
The past month the class tin vo
cational agriculture had special
study in selection of dairy cattle,
swine and poultry production. In
the study of how to improve the
dairy herd the boys learned that a
prepotent bull was the greatest fac
tor. In the pouHry production they
learned the importance of pure bred I
flocks, properly selected, housed and
fed. To make these lessons more
impressive, the boys this week have
had the opportunity of seeing mo
tion pictures that illustrated the les
sons just studied. The films are
furnished by the U. S. Department
of Apiculture. The motion picture J
machine is owned by the vocational
department of the Brevard' high
school.
The film on the scrub bull as
compared with the pure bred bull
made a forceful impression on the
boys as to the value of having a
good aire to head a c^iry herd. An
other film showed the food value of
milk and that it was good for
adults as well as for children. The
films on poultry showed the proper
methods of culling, housing and
feeding the flock. They also showed
how a county was put on the poul
try map. In this picture were some
splendid suggestions as to how we
might help put our, county on the
map in dairying, swine and poultry
production.
Motion pictures will be used in
connection with the class room in
struction in agriculture during the
entire year.

Goodwill Tour Is
Being Welcomed
by Northern Cities
Brevard Film
Goes on Trip
SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL
PARK IS STRESSED BY HAYNES
_____
Information coming to Brevard
through the newspapers concerning
the Third Annual Goodwill Tour
through Pennsylvania, New York,
Canada, Maine, Massachusetts and
Connecticut, sponsored by the Ashe
ville Chamber of Commerce, indi
cates the most successful tour ever
undertaken by that live organiza
tion. In every city where stops
have been made a cordial welcome
has been accorded the tourists from
Western North Carolina. The
newspapers in the cities visited have
been generous with space devoted to
news of this section and publicity
worth many times more than its
cost has resulted.
Brevard is fortunate in being rep
resented on this tour by two prom
inent lersonages. William E.
Breese, the accreditea representa
tive of the Brevard Chamber of
Commerce, a member of the tour
committee and Thornwoll Haynes,
of Brevard, the principal orator of
the tourists have kept this section
well in }J|e lime light beginning with
the first stop made by the special
train at Harrisburg, Pa.
The Brevard scenic film was taken
on the tour and through the efforts
of Mr. Breese it has been shown
in largest picture houses in all of
the cities visited and in other ways
$he film has contributed to the pub
licity this section is receiving in
the territory touched by the tour
ists. Mr. Haynes' talks have been
devoted largely to the Great -Smoky
Mountain National Park project.

WOMAN'S BUREAU
OUTLINES PLANS
FOR YEAR'S WORK
FLOWER SHOW MAY BE HELD
NEXT SUMMER
An enthusiastic and interesting
meeting of the Woman's Bureau was
held Monday afternoon, at which
time plans for the year's work were
discussed.
The matter of beautifying the
parkways of the town with shrub
bery and small trees was again
brought before the Bureau, and was
stressed as of great importance in
the town beautification program and
that now is the time to begin such
planting. It was pointed out that
shrubbery, and especially the dog
wood, which has been adopted as the
town tree, may be obtained by com
municating with Horace McCall,
who will furnish and plant the dog
wood for $2 per tree. This is con
sidered a very reasonable sum, and
it is hoped by the Woman's Bureau,
which organization is sponsoring
this movement, that that all resi
dents and property owners will avail
themselves of this opportunity to
secure shrubbery and will enter one
hundred per cent strong into this
movement for a more beautiful
town.
It was thought advisable to inaug
urate the custom of holding an an
annual flower show in Brevard, to
answer the double purpose of beauti
fying the various premises through
out the town and to stimulate a
greater interest and friendly rivalry
in the culture of a variety of
flowers.
The matter of co-operating with
other women's organizations of the
town in securing a teacher for a two
weeks' course in some form of
home improvement was presented to
the Bureau by Mrs. Oliver Orr, and
the members present expressed them
selves in favor of the proposed
classes.
It was decided to have the nex(
meeting, on Monday November 1st.
of a social nature in connection with
the regular business meeting, and
an urgent invitation is extended rV
members and prospective menibc
to be present.
THE PRAYER CORNER
PRAYING ALWAYS
Read Ephesians 6:18, 19.
Now the soldier is already, hut
' he cannot use his armour without
prayer. To pray always means to
use all occasions of prayer. Employ
all possible attention and r;\erence
in it, bear it in mind, even when our
hands are busy with laboui : never
do anything which could spoil our
prayers; Present before God, all
our friends, all our wants, all our
blessings. This great business of
prayer in which we commune with
Almighty God, requires more care
and earnestness than we commonly
bring to it.
We are in danger of forgetting
that prayer is a mighty force in the
world. We live in a working age.
We believe in all manner of earnest
activities, in full consecration of our
gifts and services to God. This is
well, but after all, there is no such
power as the power of prayer.
Jesus made a great deal of it in His
own life, and in His teaching.
In the Acts of the Apostles we
find prayer everywhere, and in the
Epistles it is continually command
ed. Saint Paul many times plead
with his friends to pray for him, and
he exhorts that intercessions shall
be made for all men. "Here he asks
for prayers for all the saints, and
for himself, not that he might be
set free from his chains, but that
he might have greater power ir. wit
nessing for Christ.
A PRAYER FOR FREQUENCY IN
PRAYER
0 Thou who hearest and answer
est prayer, let us never forget that
we cannot use our armour without
FREQUENT PRAYER. And that
to pray always means to use all oc
casions of prayer, employ all pos
sible attention and reverence in it.
Enable us to bear it in mind, even
when our hands are busy wHh la
bour, never do anything that could
spoil our prayers, and present be
fore Thee, O God, all our friends,,
all our wants, all our blessings.
1 Let us never forget that the great
business of prayer in which we com
mune with Thee, the Almighty God,
requires more care and earnestness
than we commonly bring to it for we
are in danger of forgetting that
prayer is a mighty force in the
world.
We live in a working age. We
believe in all manner of earnest ac
tivities and in full consecration of
our gifts and services to Thee, our
Father God. It is well, but after
all, may we never forget that there
, is no such power as the power of
prayer.
We know that Jesus, our beioved
Lord and Saviour, made a great
deal of it in His own life ard in
His teaching: that in The Acts we
find prayer everywhere, and in the
Epistles it is continually com
manded. - Does not the blessed
Apostle Paul exhort us that first of
all, supplications, prayers, interces
sions and giving of thanks be made
for all men: for all that are ir au
thority that we may lead a quiet and
peaceful life in all goodline?- and
honesty.
So praying for all our friends, all
our wants, all our blessings, aye for
all men, we shall be safe und< r the
care and keeping of our great High
Priest, who ever liveth to make in
tercession for us. Unto Him be all
the praise, now and forever, .Arr.cn.
