FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1325 THE FRANKLIN PRESS PAGE FIVE An Honest Reply An honest reply to the unjust thing that have been Said about the men who buy and ship chickens and eggs Can Mother Mark Her Child Many mothers will tell you that they not only can but do. They will lite all kinds of examples, telling you out of Macon county. We are called how this one saw an accident and the perdlers. Some one had better see blood formed a wing-shaped pool, what the definition of peddlers is. When the child was born the next My understanding of the word is one day. it had a birth mark a red stain who goes from place selling at a pub lic outcry. We men who buy and ship poultry and eggs do noi do this. , Now be' it imderstood that I am , not opposed to the poultry sales in Macon county. No, not that, , but I simply want every man to have credit for what he really does and no more. In the 'first place just after the first poultry rale in Macon county a statement leading something like this came out in the Franklin Press, after ' giving the proceeds of the sale the .'. writer said the sale price on hens was 20c per pound and that the author of that statement would have done well and yise and honest to have investi gated just a little before making it because I was paying 18c and going to the peoples' homes and getting their hens. He went on to state how much Mr. Arrendale had saved the people on their poultry. He either forgot that farmess' time is worth something or either he does not consider that our time is often our capital. There was possibly ISO teams there loosing from 4 to 10 hours. Mr. Ar rendale, please see what this would amount to. Just say 150 teams 6 hours each at 30c, per hour $270.00 in time. ( The report came out at another sale that the peddlers was paying 15c, . when I was paying 17c. Now it is not ' pleasant to be mis represented or under-estimated and it makes me sick to see any one over estimate themselves or be over esti mated. Now lest I be misunderstood I will repeat I am, not opposed to the poul try sale but what would the farmers do with their poultry and eggs the othennine months of the years if it was not for we local buyers Some , people would do well to think some as they go. There are "two sides to most all questoins and there is unquestionable two sides to this one under consider- , ation. I suppose that I am the second largest-shipper in Macon county and I have been actively engaged in the business far nine years and I have saw several pass in and out of the game in this nine years. There is quite a number of my cus'tomcrs who look at both , sides of the question ; with both eyes open and says that Young comes all the year around eve week if they only have bc dopn o: t'ggs or pne old hen or none and bring their groceries to them and waits for his pay until they can pay and; say it would be unfair to sell their poultry to any other buyer. To those who think and act thus I raise my hat and thank them. A few weeks ago some -one made a statement in the Frank lin Press that Mr. Arrendale would likely not conduct another sale be cause some people sold their poultry to some local buyers. Now I have never been at one of the sales to try to buy. Surely if Mr. Arrendale refuses to conduct the sales for the people, he will have man enough to stop draw ing our money for there is quite a number of farmers who say that this is all that he is doing. Now dear farmer friends if he quits you just let your friend Young know it and I will market your poultry and eggs 12 months in the year and do it for less money than Mr. Arrendale is receiving Now don't misunder stand .me. I am not looking for the job, for I have one that keeps me busy, and I om not boasting when I say that there is at least 75 homes that would object to me quitting my business. There are other things that I could say but I will only say one. Anyone with one ounce of gray matter under their hair konws that any one can pay more for a car load of anything delivered than they could and go all over the country and col lect it up. " I hope I want have to say any more, biit if I- do I can. . JAMES L. YOUNG. Nation-Wide Survey of Peach Industry Being Made just .'ike blood and its shape was that cf a tulti-rfly. "It wis d-e tp the sight which the jnother haUwit nessed." , Well-it was notl Birth marks are little tumors made up of blood vessels and they are pro duced by t defective development o; the circulatory system. The excite ment ine mother may have felt had nothing to do with the mat. ;-. Some mothers say that they are quite sure that because they spent hours at the piano before the baby was born, the child was a musician. Others read poetry in the hope that thev will make their offspring poets Many go to the art galleries, to study the paintings in the hope that they will have children tamea as arusis. Why is it that some mothers who do all these things have commonplace children who have no ear for music, no love for poetry, and are bored by art? And why is it that the son of a woman who, by someunfort,unate turn in affairs, has to scrub floor's for a living and has to keep upthe work until shortly before the baby arrives, does not have a mop-complex but may be singularly gifted as a sculptor? Let me tell you something. The moment the two germinative cells united, a new life began and its characteristics were all there at that moment. They, may be characteristics dominantly the mothers or they may be those of the father; certainly they will be a mixture of qualities, which came down from all the ancestors of both parents. A child may be more like his great-grcat-great grandmoth er than like either. No matter. He will have inherent talents at the mo ment of conception and if he is not a member of a family with latent or previously active talent, all the hours spent at the piano will not make him a musician , What a terrible race of monsters we should have in the world if mater nal emotions, aroused by the. sights and accidents of the day, fir if her activities could "mark" the unborn helnless jnfant 1 That it is impossible for a mother to "mark" a child, we should be thankful. ICaleiph, N. C The united StUe Department of Agriculture is at pres ent engaged in a nation-wide survey of the Peach Industry. The object of this is to supply growers with the information that they have needed in the past to make rasonablc profits j growing peaches. Much difficulty has arisen from the fact that plantijigs have been made without a knowledge of the amount pf competition in the markets between varieties in one area and those in an-, other, and without sufficient infor mation as to the buyers likes o dis lies in the matter or variety and qual ity of peaches. In other words, grow ers planning new dvelopments have often been going it blindly. This, to a considerable extent, has been una voidable because the necessary infor mation was not to be had. With this in view, the United States Department of Agriculture, in co operation, with the state experiment stations, state departments of agri culture, state horticultural societies, various marketing agencies, railroads.. and individuals, has started a thor ough study of the entire peach indus try. Enthusiastic support has been given by all organizations, but the s.uccess of the survey will dpend upon how carefully and promptly the grow ers lend their, support. A part of this study is a complete census of all peach trees on farms of 100 trees or more, and an inquiry has been sent to all commercial peach growers in North Carolina and other states calling for a classification of their trees according to age and va rieties. " This study is to be completed at an early date. Prompt reports from all growers will save much time and ex pense for follow-up work. Schedules were sent out . from the Cooperative Crop Reporting Service at Raleigh on September 11. In case any grower has failed.. to receive one of these, it will be appreciated if he will request one from the Crop Reporting Service at Raleigh. This renort is intended solely for the growers benefit and the Depart ment of Agriculture requests the en thusiastic cooperation , of all North Carolina peach growers.

Consequently it quietly movltd toff down the hill, gathering momentum as it proceeded. Near the bottom of the hill this shiny Sedan saw an dectric light pole to its liking, knocked the pole, down, jumped Pal mer street and landed against a tree in the yard of Mr. W. C. Cunning hams residence. No one was in the car and no one was hurt during th wild race. The chassis was pretty badly warped.
