EDGAR GLAZENER IS MAKING SUCCESS OF Y. T. H. F. PROJECI Young Connestee Boy Realized $40.75 Profit From Sow In 15 Months Time SCHOOL INSTRUCTION IS MATERIAL FACTOR HERE Hobby Shows Great Possibility of Becoming Money ? Making Scheme V Fourteen year old Edgar Glazener, of the Connestee section went home from the Sylvan Valley Fair last Saturday afternoon just about as happy as a youngster of that age could possibly be, for he had sold eight fine blooded pigs that day for ?48.00, and his records showed that he had made a profit of $40.75 in fifteen months on his Y. T. H. F. hog project. Edgar, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Glazener, a Sophomore in Brevard High School, became interested in hog raising through his Vocational Agriculture class work under Prof. 1 farmers MEET A number of leading Transyl vania County farmers met in the Brevard High School on the even ing of September 24th and elected an Advisory Committee of farmers to work in conjunction with th? local \ SS Service Agency and the VSS (luring the coming year. The committee is as follows: T. C. Henderson, Chairman, Lake Toxaway C. R. Sharp, Route 3, Bre vard Paul Glazener. Brevard j ^ <A. P. Bell, Rosman rR. A. Merrill, Penrose r The purpose of the committee is: (I) To cooperate with the VSS r.and the local agency through Mr. pH. Garren, to the end that coop erative purchasing of farm sup plies may reflect maximum advan tages to the community; (2) To formulate policies for both the VSS and the Retail Agencies in the interest of farmers and pa trons; (3) To accomplish a more democratic control of the VSS and (4) To act in behalf of and for the community in matters relating "?o the collective purchasing of , farm supplies. J. A. Glazener, teacher of agri- I culture in the local high school presided and expressed confidence in cooperative effort. L. E. Raper, District Manager of the VSS Retail Purchasing Ser vice in North Carolina, was pres ent and discused certain VSS pol icies that tend to reflect savings to those who purchase the cooper ative way. He stated that the VSS (Virginia Seed Service) was organized in 1923 by farmers; that it is now owned by approxi mately 50,000 farmers who use it; that "the organization rigidly fol lows the recommendations of the Agricultural " Colleges in "the pur chase of seeds and in the purchase and manufacture of feeds; that the VSS operates at cost ? return ing as it does any net earnings to patrons; and that its retail agen cies, composed of local cooperatives and dealers work on margins ap proved by patrons and that such margins are public. The representative stated that farmers of Transylvania County had shown a desire to purchase cooperatively through their sup port to the service, since its estab lishment here some months ago. Mr. H. Garren is Distributor and assured those present of his will ingness to serve. Julian Glazener. With his saving? Edgar purchased a purebred Durcx gilt for $5.00, gave her the best oi care, using as his guide the intuition that all farmer boys of the moun i tains have, plus the knowledge gained 1 through study of a topic that was naturally interesting to him, and re ceived first returns on his investment of $32.25 Saturday, that is, if the I pride of ownership is not to be list ed as an asset in a farmer boy's life. The mother hog and eight Duroc Poland China offsprings came in for many comments at the Sylvan Valley Fair, and carried off first honors in their class. I Young Glazener, as does all Y. T. H. F. boys having projects as part of their ciasswork, kept an accurate record of all money spent in the rais ing of the sow and later the litter of fine pigs that averaged between 35 and 40 pounds each at eight weeks of age. His records show a total ex penditure for his project to date as being $32.25, including ? in this amount shelter, lot, all the feed pur chased from his father at market price, and the Purina Chows with which he supplemented his grain feeds. On the credit side of the ledger , his big item is the bale price of the ! eight pigs, $48.00, plus the estimated ' value of his sow at $25.00. This latter price was set by several stock raisers who viewed the sow at the fair Saturday. However', no time for care and at : tention is charged in the cost record, ' the young fellow giving as his reason for not showing this part of the cost: "Shucks, it wasn't any trouble at all. I always have some spare time any way, and I'm going to keep on rais ing pigs as my money crop." j Quebec News Items | | Mr. and Mrs. Eugene King and children are spending some time with the latter's parents, Mr. and James Chapman.

GUESSING CONTEST CREATES INTEREST Seven People Guess Within Half Pound of Large Bag of Feed According to Willis Brittain, man ager of the B. & B. Feed company, over nine hundred people made a written estimation of the large bag of feed displayed in their booth at the Sylvan Valley Fair Saturday, seven of them guessing within one half pound of the correct weight. Several bags of feed were dumped into a large bag by the B. & B. with part of a bag thrown in for good measure and the fair attendants were offered a prize of 24 pounds of White Lily flour for the nearest correct guess of the weight. Some who passed the bag by without handling it guessed in the wide range of from 155 to an even 1000 pounds, while other more enterprising estimaters filled in their blanks within a very few pounds of the actual weight. Ralph Lyday, Nathan McMinn, New ton Pickelsimer, Dwight Moffitt, W. K. Sprouse, Harold Aiken and Lynch Moore each guessed within half pound of the correct weight and were each given a 24 pound bag of White Lily flour. The bag of feed weighed 368 1-2 pounds. This week the Brittains are offer ing a checkerboard pencil free with each 24 pound bag of flour purchased at their store. and small son, Ear], of Tracey Grove, spent the week-end with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. I.
