1 ' Mftnhftll. N. C Apr. 19,1522 COMMUNITY MEETING. On last Monday veiling at 7:80 the farmer of the White Rock sectlon,held their third .'monthly meeting. 'Most of the time was used, at this meeting, for the discussion of the Farmers Ware house. It is the purpose to hold these meet ings, starting with the June meeting, on the first Monday night of each month. They will start at 8 o'clock. A program committee was named to GRIT GRINDS Edited by COUNTY AGENT Let us grow clover and grass on the hill; While intensely the le Is and flats we till.

Eggs will be purchased on a grade basis, three grades being used. They are as follows: GRADE A. Eggs are reasonably uniform in size, regular in shape, and with clean, sound shells; yolks are only slightly visible and the whites are firm and clear; shrink age not greater than one-eighth inch; minimum weight of each egg 2 oz. GRADE B. Eggs with reasonably clean, sound shells with maximum shrinkage of one-fourth inch, but j if white is slightly watery, tne ers a market for eggs that has been 1 taken. It is carried on under the su pervision of the FARMERS EXECU TIVE BODY but Mr. Brownell has charge of the egg candler. BRING 'EM IN. COOPERATE One of the best ways for the Farmers to secure help is by cooperating, helping themselves. It is the way that the surest results will be obtained. The Farmers of Madi son County have the opportunity to do this. They have been doing it to 'an increasing extent lor the past three years. They should continue ( to do it. ! Saturday and Monday were two o;mm ; fhrpp-sixtepnths of an nl aays al tne farmers warenouse. inch. Minimum weight of egg is 1 5-6 oz., and average weight of 24 oz. per dozen. GRADE C. Will include all other edible eggs except guinea and pewees. Eggs will be graded when deliver ed and the customer will receive his money. At tne present time zoc per dozen is being paid for Grade A; 23c for Grade B; and 20c for Grade C Mr. Brownell, who is at the head of the company installing this mar ket, is one of the best informed men In the United States on eggs. He has spent a lifetime in the egg business. Mr. Brownell c-ives the following sim ple rules for caring for the eggs in which the farmer manufactures his order to get the best results: finished product can be purchased KEEP NESTS CLEAN. and sold at cost thru the building. GATHER EGGS THREE TIMES Th's is a privilege that every manu- PER DAY facturing plant claims the farmer A carload of fertilizer was received on each of these days and the great er part of 'both carloads was sold. Raymond Eller was of the opinion on Monday night that he had earned his daily bread; he had banked for the Warehouse over $800. Saturday had seen nearly $300 banked also. Looks like business farmers! There must be a new warehouse on the lot if this is continued. There should be a brick building erected there in July ready for the Fall's business. In this building the egg market can be installed; later poul try of all kinds can be marketed thru the building; the raw materials from MARKET OFTEN WHILE EGGS ARE FRESH. KEEP EGGS COOL ALL THE TIME. CLEAN, COOL, FRESH EGGS BRING A PREMIUM. Not hard! It is purposed to have this egg market open to receive eggs for the next few weeks all the time, if it is necessary later, special days will be set upon which to receive eggs, setting aside 2 or 3 days each week. We believe that this is one of the .best moves toward giving the farm- should have it. You never hear of a manufacturing plant depending upon securing its raw materials thru a re tail dealer. It increases his cost too much. In this building should be a room in which the farmers would be able to meet, visit, discuss their business mat ters, hold meeting if they like, a lounging room of their own. There will be opportunity offered to the farmers of the county to make this building possible. When it comes, every farmer should grab it; it means much to every farmer. arrange for the June meeting. The meeting for May will be held at 8 o'clock on Friday, May 3. This is in order to secure moving pictures from the Agricultural Department. We hope that not only those living in the White Rock section but others in the adjoining districts may attend, j The community meeting is some thing that it would profit every farm communlitv to have. Once each month the citizens of a community should meet together and enjoy a program, discuss local matters, arrange for any movement that may enable their community to go ahead. It would be a pleasure to the county agent to ar range with other communities for such meetings. Dr. Finley is to be given a great deal of credit for the White Rock meeting. SELLING CREAM OR BUTTER. We were talking with ;i farmer liv ing near Marshall. He was telling how the cream market was helping him thouirh he sold butier. We learned that he was receiving 10c the year around for his butter. He was losing money; his cream would have brought him an average price of close to 45c, DerhaDS more, sold as cream. The wife was giving more labor and time to the making of the butter than she would have needed to give if cream was sold. This man was milking three cows. He was of the opinion tnat a separator was needed in order to sell cream. The separator helps but is not necessary. The cream can be skim med by hand. However if the farmer in question had sold cream instead of butter, if he had used a separator, he would have saved enough money in a couple of years to pay for that sepa rator. He would have had more but terfat for sale. Every farmer having surplus milk should set this milk, let the cream raise, skim it off, and sell the cream. It is the easiest and most profitable wav of disDOsine of the surplus. See the county agent about it. Now is the time to fix Model T Ford HOME DEM.

WEEK OF APRIL 21-27 IS NA TIONAL BETTER HOME WEEK AND IS BEING OBSERVED IN MADISON COUNTY. This program is a part of the gen eral plan of education carried on by Better Homes in America, and is one of the projects in which President Hoover is deeply interested. Presi dent Hoover has headed the organi zation from its inception and has al ways been active in shaping its poli cies and following its progress. Head quarters are maintained in Washing ton, D. C, under th ce irdfonoite ... ton, D. C, under the direction of Dr. James Ford. The purpose of a Better Home campaign is to promote home owner ship among families of modest means, and to call their attention to ways in which they can improve their homes and premises at minimum cost. Lo cal committees, made up of repre sentatives of civic and educational groups and individuals, are organized in every community and through their efforts the services of the ablest specialists in the country are mobiliz ed for the benefit of the millions of homemakers who are reached each year by this educational program. These committees are headed !by men and women, appoint by the central office at Washington, who are known to have an active interest in the im proving of conditions of their com munities. More than 5,000 com munities took part in the programs conducted last year. The campaign this year is paying particular,-attention, to the improve ment of architectural design for the small home. This is being done in several states through architectural merit awards for houses built within the year. Contests of this type are extending also to gardens and land scaping, and in some instances to en tare neighborhoods. Such, improve ments are making a most important contribution to the development of civic interest and pride and are help ing to provide the best type of home environment for ail citizens. .. The program of. Better Homes in America is not confined to cities, but is finding Ks way into the most re mote rural districts. . This is being done through the. organization of counts committees. A special Guide- book for the lose of these chairmen provides material specially- salted to the needs of rural communities. In this way rural as well as urban fam ilies can have access to high - stan dards in house building, home fur nishbu? and home life, and can be riven encounurement and help in the buildinr of sound, attractive homes and. the reconditioning, and remodel ing of old homes. , Farther effective ness is given to the .program through the organization of state committees composed of leaders in the various organizations dealing with problems of housing-and horn Ufa. Through these ' committees the national , pro gram is being adapted most effectrva- ly to .state problems, and in turn to local problems. Forty-four states are now organized in this way. Better Homes in America is now conducting its eighth nation-wide campaign and the response which this movement is receiving proves mat the homemakers of America are ea ger to place homemaking and home life upon the high plane which they should occupy. No other movement in recent years has evoked such in terest from specialists and leaders. Government departments and bu reaus and national organizations are lending their support and supplying information and material for the working out of this program. In addition to the help which is given each year through the cam paigns which are conducted, the or ganization has published several help ful bulletins for the individual home maker. These include one on How to Own Your Home, which deals with almost every problem which might confront the prospective home own er. How to Furnish the Small Home is another popular publication. It explains the basic principles of good taste in furnishing,' including color combinations and designs. Because of its simple presentation of the sub ject it is now being used as a text for homemaking classes in many schools throughout the country. YARD IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN In connection with the program for Better Homes Week, the Yard Improvement Campaign which is County-wide, will be started. This campaign will close November, 1930, and we hope to be able to offer some worth-while awards for the best im proved yard. Mrs. Sarah Porter Ellis, District Home Demonstration Agent, will Score the yards, beginning April 22, and continuing on through the week until finished. As this will be the only week we will be able to secure the services of Mrs. Ellis, it is neces sary that any one entering the cam paign must notify Miss Frances Crafton, Home Demonstration Agent, not later than Monday morning, in or der that you may be included in .the itinerary. This campaign is open to any home in the County that will enter and is not for just the club members. Only your yard will be scored by notifying Moss Crafton. The following is the score card for judging the yards: 2 Lawn 25 1 ; Clean up 25 Walks . 6. Drives 6 Trees & Flowers 20 Dairy Extension, May 20 12:10 Superstitions Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, Department of Zo ology. I. O. SCHAUB. Director. Miss Frances Crafton, Home Dem onstration Agent, wall not meet her clubs the week of April 22nd, as it will be necessary to be with Mrs. Sarah Porter Ellis, District Home Demonstration Agent, who will be in the County scoring the yards for the Yard Improvement Campaign, but these clubs will be met at their next regular meeting. She did this until she had brought four rabbits and all died. This was so unusual that Mrs. Ball called sev eral people to see them. Union Countv is turning to the dairy industry and farmers are plant ing pastures and buying foundation stock to begin the work. From BEAR CREEK Rev. Cecil Reese preached at the school house last Saturday night and Sunday at 11 a. m. His subject Sat urday night was: "Warming Around the Devil's Fire." He spoke very in terestingly and it did anyone good that heeded what he said. I fear many of us are guilty of warming there, if we sanction worldly things. We agreed to change our regular church time to the 4th Sunday in each month and on the Saturday night before. Our next service will be the 25-26th of May. Brother Reese having an appointment for the 4th Sunday in this month. Our preaching time was the same as Caney Fork. We like to visit them. This writer doesn't know anything very interesting to write, but would like to tell of something unusual. ,Mrs. H. E. Ball has a part Maltese cat whose kittens all disappeared. The cat brought in a young rabbit a few days old and mothered it until it died. FINISHING Mail your Films to The PLATEAU STUDIOS Asheville, N. C. For prompt service. We pay return postage. E. M.
