Killing the Farmers' Friend
When an Iowa farmer complained
that the pheasants were eating his
corn, the game department killed two
of the birds, examined their crops, and
found 200 'cutworms and no cfrrn.
Almost without exception, when the
scientists investigate such cases they
find the same result. The farmer owes
a splendid, . progressive, prosperous j his crop to the teatnerea ponce inu.

' The slogan is "an aveage of 100
hens on Macon county farms."
Will the professional and business men
of Macon county get behind this pro

The last census shows that, there is
an average of less than 16 hens per
farm in Macon county.'
There is also a plan being formula

should . bring at least 50 cents per
pound at the car door. '
To do' this it will be necessary for
the farmers to build a small brooder
house, "buy a brooder stove and use
baby chicks that have been hatched
in an incubator. This brooder house
and brooder can be used for several
years to grow early fryers and to
grow the pullets that will be the lay

But that's not the- only record in
Macon County. Not by a long shot.
Since Joe Ashear has been selling
goods in Franklin he has made several
records, among, which are a record for
honesty, a record for fair dealing, a rec
ord for the good quality of his mer
chandise and, above - all, a record for
the lowest prices West of Asheville.
Joe's customers know this and they
keep coming to him year in and year
out By so doing they save money
nd they KNOW that this is true.
I have iust received 26 large cases of
Shoes and can fit anybody, a big ship-
ment of Men s buits and Uda rants, a
fresh supply of Ladies' Coatsuits and
Dresses, an unlimited quantity of
Men's Winter Shirts, the biggest stock
of Sweaters ' and Sweater Jackets ever
brought to Franklin, Hosiery for the
whole family.
My store is full. My basement is
full. I'm crowded and must have room.
How am I going to get it? That's easy.
I'm going to continue selling at lower
nrires than obtain elsewhere. And
what are these prices? Just
prices that's all.
