H. Raxter, of Dunn's Rock ;ection, takes the prize in the tomato growing contest, reporting that he jathered 85 tomatoes from one vine :his season, and they were real toma- 1 toss, good tomatoes, and of good size, 1 roo. To cap the climax, Mr. Raxter ;aid that the vine was a volunteer fallow; that it just naturally, and of its own free will and accord, bobbed jd out of the ground and started growing. He said that he was at tracted to the vigorous looking plant, tended it, staked it at the proper time, and was rewarded with the great number of fine tomatoes taken from this vine. It is believed that this is the record for the number of tomatoes on one vine, and Mr. Raxters friends are asking one and all who have better records to come on with their infor mation. I '756 VACCINATED AT TYPHOID CLINIC IN COUNTY THIS WEEK (Continued from page one) 1 Nov. 6. All citizens w'no are inter ested in the health and protection of persons in this county from disease are urged to attend these clinics and receive the full typhoid treatment, ? The clinics are being held under the auspices of the State Health De partment with John E. Floyd, district sanitary inspector, in charge of the general arrangements. Dr. Newland and Mr. Floyd were well pleased with the large number of 'people who desired the treatment. Dr. Newland announced Tuesday that he I expected an increased number today, since the vaccination program is more widely understood and several have only recently learned of its value. 1 The typhoid treatment makes one immune to the typhoid germ either from water supply or from contagion by coming into contact with a "ty phoid carrier." Authorities made a thorough in spection of the water supply in Ros man and Pisgah Forest, searching for any liability of hiding place for : typhoid or other germs. When any i such locations were found, they were i changed in a manner sufficient to guarantee complete removal of any ' cause of typhoid from that source. The vaccinations are being made j entirely free of charge to the citizens of the county, since it is a state and county movement, the county fur- . nishing the typhoid serum. I County and state health officers urge all county citizens who use j springs as a water supply to ditch . around and above the spring, turning ! all the surface water away from it. i The spring should be completely and sanitarily covered, preferably by ce ment. This prevents the water from contamination and keeps typhoid | germs from entering the water. All ' measures should be taken in the in- j dividual home to assure sanitary : water and food supply.

Plans were made for a Hallo- t FARM AGENT IS NEED OF THE COUNTY SAYS PROMINENT CITIZEN ( Continued from page one) mer and trucker had. Many farmers assert that there is not another business or industry in the county that could operate upon the hap-hazard basis that farmers without a farm agent must operate. Saving in gas and oil, it is said, would more than pay a farm agent the county's proportionate part of the cost of having the agent, to say nothing of increased sales, saving of time, satisfaction in doing business in a business-like manner. The federal and sta1;e governments bear the ex pense of a farm agent except a few hundred dollars each year that the county is called upon to pay, and the matter of assistance in market ing is only one phase of a county agent's important work. Yet in this one item alone, it is pointed out, a farm agent would more than save the farmers of the county the sum that the county would pay to the agent. Services of a farm agent in prepa ration of soil, selection of seed, bal anced crops, proper cultivation as be ing studied all the time by experts in experimental stations, and the counsel and advice that can be ob tained only in a well governed and closely studied agency, all are at the call of the farmer in a county where there is a farm agent employed. It is said by farmers in Transy lvania county that thousaAJs of dol lars worth of farm produce is lost this year on account of there being no systematic method of marketing this produce. Mr. McCall has a host of people with him in his contention that this county needs a farm agent. fjm ween party which will be held next Friday night at the Masonic Hall Hot chocolate and sandwiches were served at the conclusion of the pro gram.
