If we are to get these seedlings we must get our order in at an early date. That Haywood county is short 25, 00(J head of cattle and that that short age can he met with tfood Western .stock are two of the fact brought out at a meeting in Asheville Friday, February Tl. After discussion and contacting the Asheville Stock Yards Association the committee submitted the following plan to the group: Mr. Hawkins, a buyer for the Asheville Stock Yards and well known in this section of the count ry, is now in Oklahoma City. He agreed to purchase for our farm ers a carload of heifers for breeding purposes and ship to Asheville within the next few day.-; so that the farmers ASHEVILLE FAT STOCK SHOW Any farmer or 4-H Club boy wish ing to line up their animals to show this fall in the Asheville hat block Show, the prize list of which is given elsewhere, should get in touch with the county agent at once, in order that we may select the best animals for the show. We are depending on Haywood farmers to back this movement fully. .Mr. W. M. Laridess, of the Agricul-u.-ai Administration of TVA, and other representatives of the Authority, II.

Moie- over, many farmers sold their own oattle with the expectation of win tering some of the Federal relief cat tle from the drought region, and per haps pasture them next summer. Mr. T. L. Gwyn, who had charge of the federal cattle here, said there are now none of the relief cattle in North Carolina. As a result of their re moval there are many farmers and cattle growers in Western North Car olina who have r'enty of feed and will have pasture which will not be consumed for lack of livestock to use it. , . plus $1.00. Any farmer who is inter ested in getting some of these cattle should get in touch with his farm agent at once, and place his order with him. Mr. Gardner, of Columbia, in dis cussing the objects and methods of the PCA, said that his association will advance money on their loans. Cat tle bought with the loan money will stand gooi, for (! per cent of the loan; the borrower will have to put up oth r colla eral for the other Ii5 per cent. A eomnvUee was elected to work out some thing definite relative to the situHtii l in which the cattle in 'ustry is .involved in this section: Mr. T. L. Gwyn, Mr. I,. I. Case, of State Col lege, cx-oflicio members, Mr. T. J. Wilson, '..-evard s ock grower, Mr. J. Dills, Sylya, farmer and stockman, Mr. drover Roberson. Candler, farmer- stockman, and Mr. ; Frank M. Davis, $1 wood, chairman. The committee recommends that the purchases be good, light, young cattle. Although it looks now as if the prices are good and going to be, there is less risk in buying young cattle. ' To 4-H Club boys and farmers who want to fit young animals for the Fat Stock Show next October: We have, 'received notice that a carload of very choice Hereford calves will be on sale at the stock yards in Asheville Friday, March 1. This ear load will not be. sold at auction, but will be sold to private buyers. This is an opportunity for us to get some choice animals to grow out this sum mer. To 4-H Club boys I would say talk it over with dad. If you do not al ready have the calf, then go ever to Asheille and see if you can get what you want and need. In this carload are five young Here ford bulls which can be bought. If you are interested in these act at once, MR. LANDISS TO SPEAK IN WAYNESVTLLE On Thursday, March 7, Mr. Landess, of the TVA is to be in Waynesville for a public meeting. This should be a good opportunity for the people of the county to enjoy and profit by this contact with oik- of the men who is heading the TVA program of farm development. We suggest that the farm folk and business folk all over the county plan to be in town and listen to Mr. Landess at 10 A. M. March 7. It is probable that there will bi an opportunity for questions to be aske 1 and answered. With TVA ' ope-a-!on in the county to the ex tent of the cannery, and the possi KHty cf our getting other projects under way by the proper interest and "ffort on our part we should take advantage of every opportunity to in form ourselves about the program. Mr. W. M. Landess, Administrative Assistant of Agricultural Division of TVA. Wo have just received the noticu that we can secure a few more AsiatU chestnut trees for this county. Those who., wish to get these trees should come in and make application at once. Those who wish to do some refor estation work on their farms'this ysar should see the county agent and get TEN-TON TOMATO JLUB Ten tons are a lot of tomatoes to be produced from one acre of land, but the best tomato growers in Maryland have been doing it consistenly during the past few years. Maryland has long been a great tomato grow;,g state. Only a few years since in IKill has Maryland failed to produce the largest pack of canning tomatoes of any state in the Union. It was not 'intil VJ'Z'.i, oowever, that growers and canners began to real ize the possibilities ol big yk-kls per acre and their relationship to hi'i quality products l. '"'hat year the University of Maryland extension service, under the energetic and de voted leadership of Dr. 'i nomas R. Symons, co-operated with the Tri State Packers' Assi.cia ion m the or ganization of the "Maryland Ten-Ton Tomato Club" to encourage the pro duction oJ. higher yields per acre of canning tomatoes. - Tli , so farm r entering the contest we-e urged by the extension service to adopt tli following cultural practices; 1. Select a wellriliaineil, fertile, field. '' - 2. Plow the land in the fall or winter. Follow a four-year rotation, in cluding green manure crops.

Theodore Jones and Henry Grob will build new houses for their moth ers, fill the wardrobes with new dresses, and the cupboards with shining new Dots and nans in fairv- taie style, it no higher court ruling upsets the award given them by Judge r-ugene u iJunne in Circuit Court. Judge O'Dunne ruled that the two sivteen-year-old boys had a right to keep the cache of gold they dug up from a cellar under the Jones home at 132 South Eden street last Au gust 31. Awakened from their beds with the news that Judge O'Dunne had given their treasure back into their hands, the two boys, close friends for many yars, lived again t..e thrill of finding a fortune under their fingers. Theo dore lives with his mother, Henry with his mothe;- and sister. Both families have long been in straitened circum stances, and Theodore and his moth er have been on relief rolls. The youngsters, who have heard the word "numi .natic" for the first time in the'r lives, hnve been told that the numismatic value of their treasure is much greater than the actual worth of tie coins themselves.

There are 2,472 banks over fifty years old. while 64 of all the banks in this country, or 10,391, are twenty-five years old or older. In other words, practically two-thirds of the banks in this country have come through several successive periods of depression and panic. Including 1907, 1914, 1920 and 1929-33. The Oldest Bank The oldest bank In the country, which Is in Boston, was chartered February 17, 17S4. In the 64 of banks that are twenty-five years old or older is lodged a major portion of the banking re sources of the nation. In commenting recently upon the stability of a great majority of the banks in the United States, Dr. Harold Stonier, Educational Director of the American Bankers As sociation, said: "The fact that we have so many banks that nave been in existence a long period of years is an eloquent tribute to the genius of American man agerial ability, for no other country , has experienced such wild gambling; eras and resultant periods of business stagnation as those through which our country has passed at frequent Inter vals during the past century."

We hop to have 1 number of Haywood farmers mak ing an effort to produce ten tons or more of tomatoes per r -re. The Co aperative is furnishing the best plf its possible. These plants are grown from, -ertifieil seed and are sprayed to prevent diease. We are goinp to do everything nossible to make a sue- ,'ss lnls year of the Co-operative ( annery project. New wi-iltb which comes from the soil is of special interest to those to whom falls the responsibility of main taining our credit structure. Unless agriculture is successful farm borrowers cannot ultimately succeed, neither can the banks they serve. Fore closure sales are not a sound basis for good farming or good banking. Bank ers, therefore, are as much interested in the permanent success of the agri cultural industry as are the farmers, whether tne deposits come directly fi on. tarm patrons, or indirectly through the ordinary channels of busi ness. D. II. Otis, Director of Agricul ture, American Bankers Association.
