fcUGAR GLAZENER IS GETTING $1 BUSHEL {Continued from P*g? On*) toiled information is not available, it is assured, however that Glasener will receive more than a dollar ? bushel for his com which he has fed to these hogs, instead of selling the eom on the market at 40 cent? ? bushel. Young Glazener's sow brought twelve pigs, ten of which lived. At five months of sge these ten pigs pigs averaged 187.9 pounds each. At present market price for hogs the return will bring in more than a dol lar a bushel for the corn fed to tho hogs. The young man had two acres in corn, and in feeding it to the hogs has made quite a sum on his corn crop. Julian Glazener, vocational agri tulture teacher, says there is no need of any one fussing about the price of hogs, when present market prices on hogs will bring the farmer more than a dollar a bushel for his corn. This contest will soon be ended, and Prof. Glazener expresses hope that Edgar will be one of the winners.

IS SUBJECT OF NEWS i ARTICLE ON COUNTY ( Continued, from Page One ) French Broad river. Where D&vid on river swells the swift current, ons of the same soil are being swept | rom the heights of the Pisgah range. U1 through the B]ue Ridge, veins ..ollen by recent rains are carrying .heir load of yellow and red earth ; iown to the lowlands in nature's back 1 :o-the->sea movement. i So it has been for centuries. Why j worry? j In the valley, corn grows 10 feet ' .ijgh, with well filled oars. Deep op soil, renewed by the increment rom the highlands that give as they ilways have given, has made rich .ooking garden plots for the Sky landers. That would be fine, if there were nore valleys. But the hills pile on ine another here, with so few inter stices, as to leave, in proportion to copulation, no more acreage in low .-.nds than Miami has in vegetable ardens between its paved streets. I Corn, on the local market, brings I 10 cents a bushel. A weekly news ; laper in Brevard, going back to ancient custom, offers a $1 subscrip ion for a bushel ? but who can trade 'lis whole crop for newspapers? Corn j tod to well-bred hogs, will bring a re i turn of 75 cents a bushel, J. A. Gla j z-?ner of Brevard has demonstrated. : There is money in corn at that price. 1 But Mr. Glazener is not in the busi j 'less of growing corn and hogs. He | ultivates minds. The corn growers seli their corn , as grain, rarely bothering with hogs. Sometimes, as now, they get 40 ; nts; often less. Pappy always sold , it that way. So did grandpappy. That ; must be right, j Within a radius of a few miles are i 13 summer camps for boys and girls. : They are building bodies, conserving health, and their business is holding up better than the farmer's. They ' represent the tourist trade that in j Western North Carolina is similar i in importance during July and Aug | ust to that in South Florida from ! January 15 to March 15. They buy produce of the mountain eer farmers, but the profit is about like that in growing 40-cent corn. The camps and improved roads' re gain as a legacy from a land boom ?imultaneously with Florida's. These ind the advertising that introduced to a large part of America the , authentic charms of summer climate and scenery here are about all that was left by the boom to offset tax ' failures and other ills. Floridians will understand that. Driving into Brevard, the nearest of the points from which tourists debouch into this scenic highland, we inquire for the county agricultural pgent. This steady coursing of soil through mountain streams has inter red us. We have asked one moun taineer about it and his reply is that it was ever thus. "Why worry?" , Someone must be doing something to heck this source of loss. The county's . ' -ocretary of agriculture" should . know. At the courthouse the attaches we i met are not sure whether such an i officer is on the payroll. The corner j drug store proves a better source of . information. The druggist is positive there is no county farm agent, but . he also knows a man who can tell us about such things. "'See Mr. Glazener, the agricul i tural teacher in the high school. If anyone in the county knows, he does." Clad in overalls and busy with a | hce in a patch of some strange plants, ! we found Glazener. 1 En route we had overheard a side 1 walk radio broadcasting the results of federal experiments which, sur prisingly, death with the very sub j jeet that was on our mind: erosion. Terracing, the method so familiar in the intensively cultivated slopes of the Rhine valley, with cover crops to bind the soil, had proved highly beneficial, the radio was advising all who cared to listen, as some expert described the work in western states. We formed the entire audience. Down the street, not 30 feet away, a half dozen farmers were listening to two negroes strumming guitars. Glazener confirmed cur suspicions, Nothing was being done, even experi mentally to stop the steady flow of ?oil from the highlands that must be farmed successfully if this agricul tural area is to prosper. Terracing is not needed generally here, Glazener believes, but there are ?ever crops that would hold the soil where it is needed. The state finally has appropriated some money for agricultural development projects and western North Carolina hopes to get ^ne of these stations, but until then, For lazy liver, stomach and kidneys, biliousness, indi gestion, constipation, head ache, colds and fever. 10 f and 35^ at dealers* fV L THE PRAYER CORNER ? : {Trom the files of long ago) CHARACTER BUILDING It takes more than one re minder to. get some people build ing character such as God would have us build. A writer whom I admire has said that "It is strange, how many of earth's most beautiful lives have grown up out of what seemed defeat and failure. Indeed God seems to love to build spiritual loveliness out of the cast away fragments of lives, even out of sins waste." In a great cathedral there is said to be a window made by an appren tice out of the bits of stained glass that were thrown away as refuse and worthless waste, when the other win dows were made, and this is the most beautiful window of all. You can build a noble character for yourrelf j in spite. of all the hurts and injuries done to you wittingly or unwittingly by others, with the fragments of the broken hopes and joys And the lost opportunities that lie strewn about your feet No others, by their work of hurt or marring can prevent you 1 building a beautiful character for I yourself. ! When the ancient temple of Solo i mon was reared, the whole world was j sought through, and its most costly . and beautiful things were gathered ? and put into the sacred house. We I should search everywhere for what i soever things are true, whatsoever j things are lovely, whatsoever things I are pure to build our life. "All that we can learn from books, i from music, from art, from friends; I all that we can gather from the Bible ! and receive from the Hand of Christ j Himself, we should take and build i into our character to make it wor I thy. But in order to discover the things that are lovely we must have : the loveliness in our own soul." | "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful," says one, we ; must carry it in our own heart, or Ko where we may, we shall find it i not. Only a pure, true loving heart , can discover the things that are fine, pure and loving to build in the char i acter. We must have Christ in us, and then we shall find Christly things every where and gather them into our life. A PRAYER FOR CHARACTER BUILDING 0 Thou, in whom we live, and move, and have our being, we thank Thee that Thou dost seem to love to build spiritual loveliness out of the castaway fragments cf lives, even out out of sins waste, for how many ! of earths most beautiful lives have ; Rrown up out of what seemed defeat j and failure. Enable us to see that we can build I a noble character for ourselves in j spite of all the hurts and injuries j done to us wittingly or unwittingly ' by others, with the fragments of the j broken hopes and joys, and the lost i opportunities that lie strewn about our feet. That no other by their worst ; work of hurt or marring, can pre vent us building a beautiful char j acter for ourselves. Help us to search | every where for whatsoever things ! are true, lovely and pure to build our 1 life. All that we can !earn from books, ' from music, from art, from friends, all that we can gather from the Bible and receive from the Hand of Christ Himself help us to take and build into our character, to make it worthy. But give us grace to fee that in or der to discover the things that are lovely, we must have the loveliness in our own soul, for though we travel the w orld over to find the beautiful, we must carry it in our own heart, or go where we may we shall not find it. Show us that only a pure, true, loving heart can discover the things I that are true, pure, and loving to I build in our character. I 0 bring home to our hearts the | truth, that we must have Christ in I us. And then we shall find Christly I things everywhere and gather them I into our life. Grant this, 0 Thou in Whom we I've and move and have our being, that we may become worthy of Thee, f>nd of Thy Christ, and build into our character all that is true and pure and loving, to the honor and glory I of Thv Blessed Name, Amen. ? r\ n RECITAL DELIGHTS I A LARGE AUDIENCE Miss Rheuemma Katherine Bed dingfield who was presented by Pro fessor Alvin Moore in a piano recital on Tuesday evening, August 17, in the Brevard High School Auditorium, was received with plaudits from a j large audience. It was declared by ! many finished musicians who were present that Miss Beddingfield's play ing was equal that of any college graduate in music. Miss Beddingfield rendered several unusually difficult numbers even be l yond the skill of a large number of advanced piano students. j It is said that Mr. Moore's vocal , numbers were excellent also and that 1 his was one of the most beautifully ac complished recitals ever heard here. ! V. F. W. BENEFIT DANCE SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR I A large number of Brevard's dance ? lovers attended the benefit dance held | at the Waltermire Grill, Thursday i evening August 11 under the auspices < of the Pisgah Post 2428, Veterans , Foreign Wars. : Music for the dancing was furnish ed by Fishers String Band of Ros | man. Committeeman who had charge j of arranging for the dance were How ! ai d Wyatt, Grover Jackson and E. L. I Sims. DR. TOLBERT THOMPSON I" AT DAVIDSON RIVER ? Dr. Tolbert Thompson of Union Theological Seminary at Richmond, i Virginia filled the puipit at the Bl'e I vard-Davidson River Presbyterian church, Sunday morning. The members of the church were proud of this rare occasion to hear a man who is one of the outstanding ministers of the Presbyterian circle. there is not much to be expected from governmental sources. "It's education we need first," Glazener said. "A few are waking up. Thanks to the Asheville Citizen Times and the radio station there, we have a five-'and-ten-year plan that is taking hold. I have some pure bred Spotted Poland China hogs among boys in three counties now that will be good missionaries, too. That will be part of our job in checking erosion and all of our problems, but there are at least 10 men in every one of 18 counties working on this job now, and in five or 10 years you'll see re sults. Education is slow, but it's the only way I know to break down the barrier that's more formidable than all our mountains ? 'the way pappy always did it.' " The French Broad river is as muddy as ever, as we drive back into the hills, with rich soil stream ing from the Pisgah National forest that conserves game and timber but cannot hold the land. Broad mountain sides elsewhere show the ruthless in roads of the woodchopper, the erratic coursing of tumbling brooks that of ten cut three beds to bare rock before they fix their way. Down in the valley stands the 40-cent corn, with a few cows of uncertain breed and here and there a scrawny pig. But we think of Glazner and his 10 menjWho think there may be a better Way. And then we can smile.

SIMS VISITING HIS I MOTHER ON BOYLSTON ROAD j i Henry Coy Sims, native of the ' Boylston section, is here on a visit | to his mother, Mrs. T. B. Sims. Mr. ! Sims has been in the Walter Reed i Hospital and other government insti | tutions much of the time for the past i eight years, trying to recover from j injuries received in the World War. j He was a member of the famous 81st j Division. He will be here until tke first of the month. EROSION AND SOIL DISCUSSED AT MEET (Continued from Pago Owi) spoke of the tons per acre that ??e being lost and the many acres that are gone forever beyond- reclamation. A casual observer can easily s?e how this is being done. A field is put in corn and the corn is harvested in the fall leaving a stalk land with the naked ground exposed to all the heavy rains that follow. Much of such wasteful farming is done in Transylvania county. Such waste could be noticed in the tobacco sec tion in Rockingham County a few years ago and may still be seen. Farmers cultivated a field so long eg it produced a good bright tobac co. Then it was thrown out and new land cleared to make the bright leaf. So one can notice there field after field of nothing but gullies. Only a poorer people is all this can mean. The and will be disastrous. Similar famines to those of China will visit us later on, as Mr. Jones stated. A resident of Little River section said only three days ago that our up land, table lands, as we say, is a bet ter type to hold improvement than the bottom lands that are usually 3andy and too loose and open. So these sloping lands can be held by proper attention. A heavy rain can remove in a few minutes what has taken years to farm. Scientists say that nature has been millions of year3 forming our soils, Mr. Jones stated. The writer has in mind a man who has let his small farm prac tically all leave him by erosion in the last five years. And he cannot now make his support on it. So our waste will eventually bring us to pov ertv and ruin. With proper thought, study and care much of this waste can be pre vented. Keep the ground covered. Terrace if necessary. Rye after corn will not only hold the dirt but the plant food also. Deep plowing helps. Whv cannot our 5-10 farm work give more attention to soil conservation? Our government should have a strong control in this matter. County agents do what they can but something else needs to be done. We owe it to our children to have these soil resources held intact. It's easier to conserve than to try to reclaim. FUNERAL SERVO ! FOR LEWIS GROGAN i Funeral services for Lewis Fraser Grogan, seven year old son of Mr. ! and Mrs. W. H. Grogan, who died at : the Lyday Memorial Hospital Wed ! nesday, August 11, were held at the i Brevard Baptist church last Thurs ? day at 3 o'clock with Rev.
