THE FRANKLIN PRESS FRIDAY, CCTCCEn 2, 15Z3 PAGE EIGHT Personal Mention. Legislative Reference Librarian H. IU London, of Raleigh, has recently compiled and published a very useful synopsis of the game laws in trfe various counties. Local game laws were amended or changed in 60 of the 1Q0 counties of the state by thejast Legislature, so that up to this time it has been almost impossible to know just what changes were made. The booklet can be obtained free on application. ' . ' ' , . y " Hugh Awtrey, son of Judge and Vrr..

"STANDARD" $3 MOTOR OILS biased on over ; i 50 years' experience Home Orchards Macon county has almost an ideal soil and climate for many necessary and wholesome fruits. Some health expert has aptly said that "An apple a day will keep the doctor away." The same might be said of many other fruits that can easily be grown in Macon county. Many things are done on a big stale by "campaigns" and "driven." Why not give our assistance and sup port to our county agent in a "Home Orchard Campaign?" All that have thought about the matter will agree that the averaT-' family dos not i r.e enough friut at all seasons of the year. With fruit trees and vines sell ing at' very reasonable prices, there should be growing on every farm a few varieties of each, of the following fruits that have been selected to ripen in succession : apples, peaches, plums, pears, cherries, grapes, raspberries, dewberries! blackberries and straw berries As the trees and vines in these home ' orchards ' increase in size and age there should be a surplus for sale that should bring very good prices. When our proposed 'roads and 'high ways are finished there is expeted an ever increasing number of tourist that will come to this county to enjoy our wonderful climate. They must be fed and will expect to pay good prices for what they get. When the National Park is opened, and no doubt it will be, there will be a constant stream of people from Georgia, Florida and other southern states passing through Macon county on their way to and from the park. When roads are built through the park connecting us with Knoxville there will be thousands of northern tourist that will come or go through the park an their way to or from Florida. The direct route will be" trough Macon county. ' ' We all knowihat our soil' and cli mate enables us to produce a very fine quality of .'apples: As an example of what can be done with peaches we wish to call your attention to what has been done in Macon county this year. Mr. C. H. McClure sold 534 bushels of peaches for $534 00 at the orchard and the buyets did most of the gathering. Fifty-hye seven year Elberta trees produced 240 bushels that sold for $1.00 per bushel An acre of land will n row 134 peach trees planted 18 feet apart. ' Recently Mr. Noah Jollay sold over $200.00 worth of peaches from a few old; trees-that had not had special care. Most of the peaches sold in our southern cities at this season of the year are shipped here from Califor nia. Had Mr, Jollay's peaches been properly sprayed they should have sold ,as well as California peaches. If we do not have enough surplus to make shipments we can at jeast grow enough to supply the home needs. The men working on' the Georgia road a few weeks ago counted twenty-five cars and trucks coming from Georgia with peaches. This money could have beep kept in Macon county had we been planting and caring for peach trees as we should Betaw is a list of the different kinds of fruit that can be successfully grown in Macon county. This list was pre pared by Couuty Agent Arrendale as sisted by the Experiment Station and Extension Socialist jn Horticulture. This should give' the - farmers some good' suggestions on-kinds and vari eties. ' ' Variety Probable Date of Ripening . Applet ' .' Transparent , June 25th Carolina Red June..
