Devoted to the interests of Transylvania Farm ers and their problems. EDITED BY MARK T. ORR, under the supervision of ?T. A. Glazener, J. F. Corbin, and the Farmers of this county. t FARMERS IN BOYD ; , MEET AT PENROSE Giazener JkAjjUeurd? -Officers And Are Cbocotu (BY N. L. PONDER) The 5-10 farm meeting represent ing Boyd Township was hald at Pen rose School house Thursday night of last week with an encouraging atten dance. Prof. J. A. Glazoner was praa cnt and spoke of the future outlook . for Transylvania County and Wea a tern North Carolina. He read lettero i from companies giving a market for all products. These markets, as stated, require quality, a dependable delivery. So we see here where farm ers need to work together to market in a satisfactory way. Mr. Giazener also spoke of the mat ter. He mentioned once before, that of Swift and Company locating a packing industry in Asheville. This industry as figures reported to Mr. (Jiazener state, would required 200, 000 hogs as a minimum for one year. So here again is something for our farmers to consider. Mr. Giazener stated that Swift and Company are interested in Western North Carolina and that this company will put on a demonstration of live stock in Can- 1 ton on May 25, this demonstration to j show the people the kind of stock to produce, and also to find out the feelings of the people as to interest in such an establishment. So it is ex pected that a good delegation of people will attend from Transylvania County. Again, Mr. Giazener stated what Mr. Oaborne of Canton, chairman of the lave Stock interests n the 5-10 farm movement, said in regard to Transylvania County ? that other counties aru looking to Transylvania for breeding stock. ; W. L. Talley, Secretary -Treasurer of the Lime committee of the ' Lime association, reported the Lime house, at Penrose station completed and fill- j ed u ith lime. He also made reports . of work done and money expended. | The meeting elected the lollowing officers: Chairman of Women's Auxi liary, Mrs. L. F. Lyday; Vice-chair man. Mrs. E. H. Jones; Secretary, Mrs. T. G. Miller; Vice-chairman for mfcn, Mr. Sutton Wilson. Monday night of this week was set for a meet ing of the officers to appoint com mittees. Mr. J. A. Giazener and Mrs. Bates Patton were voted honorary members of the local organization. The prize of $1.00 for the best name and motto for the local organi zation was awarded to Mr. Jack Ly day. The name was "The Industrious I Farmers' Club" and the motto,! "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." Other very suggestive names and mottos were submitted but those chosen seemed to state the appeal of the movement more precisely than any. Mr. Giazener awarded the prize, and emphasized the idea of working together. Mrs. Patton spoke of the necessity of everyone doing his best! and avoiding a luke warm attitude. Mr. Giazener announced a meeting' in Brevard on May 16 for everyone 1 to attend who might be interested in I a Grange organization. Mr. and Mrs. Harley Msrrell and ! Mr. Claud V. Shuford and son Mer riman were recognized as visitors from Little River. The Executive Board will announce later a date for the next meeting. ONE COMPANY HAS h CONFIDENCE The International Harvester Com pany, which is in at least as good position as any other concern to know what is going to come to pass in the markets for farm products, not only believes that prices will be better soon, but guarantees they will The Company is offering to sell tractors or threshing machines at the regular price and to take the pay for them in wheat at 70c -and corn at 50c. If the grains are not selling at these prices, or above, when the farmers notes become due the Company will make settlements on this basis just the same. That is a practical assur ance of improved prices that should spread confidence and courage throughout the entire agricultural section of the country.

C, s Sl SROW A PASTURE OR STOP DAIRY EFFORT I The most economical way to feed iairy cows is to have a good pasture iiid supplement the grazing with the proper grain and roughage mixturao. This is the natural way to feed cows and to produce milk at a profit Either have a pasture or quit dairy ing. In this way does A. C. Kimrey, dairy extension specialist at State College, stress the value of having a plentiful supply of nutritious grazing for milk producing cows. Dairymen have at tempted from time to time to keep cows in unnatural conditions. But the wise dairyman assists nature by sup plying an abundance of luxuriant and tender grass during as many months of the year as possible. Nor is it impossible to have a good pasture in North Carolina. Mr. Kim iey finds some dairymen, particularly in eastern Carolina, wno say that it is not practical to have a pasture. This opinion has been formed from failures in seeding grass mixtures not adapted to conditions and in planting the seed on an infertile soil which the hot sun quickly bakes and destroys the tender roots of the young grass. This happens generally before the grass has had time to form a sod which would adequately cover the land and prevent parching. Grasses such as Bermuda, peren nial rye grass, orchard grass, blue grass, and herds grass are adapted to pastures in nearly all parte of the State. So arc the white dutch and lespedeza clovers. They wili furnish abundant grazing when seeded on rand properly prepared.- It is not ex pensive to prepare such a pasture and the returns will more than pay for the expense of limestone and seed bed preparation needed in the opera tion. Not only is grass economical in milk production but it is a source of vita mir.3 essential to the growth and, health of the human body, says Kim- . rey. j CARD OF THANKS We wish to express to our many friends and neighbors our heartfelt gratitude for the loving kindness shown U3 during the illness and death of our beloved hu3band and father, the late H.

BY J. F. CORBIN In last weeks paper I told about bsieg ir. contact with a business house that would buy farm produce. Before they could buy oar product we had to meat certain requirements or marketing laws. The first one w*s quality. Quality, not quantity, we hsrs that now. No one cares anything about just quanity, Heard of a man the ether dsy who was in the market for 1,000 bushels corn, but he was go ing to buy Raicombs Variety. If com was scarce and hiffh ha couid not de mand a definite variety but now it pays the farmer to have tfce quality a man want# for he can secure quan ity anywhere. Last September we shipped 3 car of potatoes from Cherryfield. The order called for i< ea>- of No. X; Irish Coo lers ; new 10C< lb, bags; dry, free of dirt, disease etc. We shipped the car but every variety in the country had to go in it to gpPlOO bushels. Some people brought muddy, scabby pota toes, The car came rear being turned down on the market after it arrived: Why? Because they could get quali ty potatoes for same money. Soma people in this community now fere finding fault with ;rse for * hippie# this car in this condition. It had to go that way. We will get orders for more cars this Pall like the above one. We. can not really fill them. There will not be a car of No. 1 disease free Cob bler potatoes ready for the market at one time and willing to be placed at the car in a day or two. Apples, yes our County has tbem by the 1000 bushels ar.d our mar chants are buying them from other states every week in the year; Eggs, yes we say we can't sell eggs. We haven't enough to sell or to in terest a buyer in coming after them. I don't believe this oid paying that our merchants will turn dawn bis own people and pay a distant man mow money for less quality. Someone said "we don't need Ag riculture men to help us grow stuff, we need them to sell it for us." It can not be sold unless it is grown to sell. To be grown to sell it must be grown in quanity to demand a buy er, this calls for cooperation; quality, best that can be put on the market. WANT ADS LOST ?
