Fire Destroys Lee
Winchester Home
(Continued From Page One)
upstairs furnishings were de
stroyed. The garage, which was in
use only B" a shed at the time,
held several odd items and 2,000
feet of poplar lumber which Mr.
Winchester's son had bought prior
to entry into the service, and
which he planned to use in build
ing a home when discharged. No
insurance was carried.
Mr. Winchester has been em
ployed by Unagusta Furniture com
pany for nearly 35 years. Wednes
day night most of the family had
attended church services, and upon
returning had retired about 10:30,
except Beulah. She was reading
in her upstairs bedroom, and upon
noticing the odor of something
burning looked from her window
to see the garage door afire.
Since the fire was burning from
the bottom of the garage upwards,
Mr. Winchester thinks that the
probable cause of the fire a rat
setting a match afire rather than
through an electrical wiring de
fect. Members of the family in the
house Wednesday night included
Mr. and Mrs. Winchester, two
daughters, Beulah and Virginia; a
daughter - in - law, Norma Jones
Winchester; and a four-year-old
grandson, Jehu. They now are re
siding in the home of their son-in-
law, Arie McChire, and Mr. Win
Chester states that he will rebuild I
his home as soon as possible.

County Agent
Urges More Feeds
Grown In County
'We are now beginning to ex
perience real shortage in food sup
ly for livestock and poultry and
will probably be running into still
further shortages as tiine goes on.
As you have noticed in liie papers
the commitments of pra:n for re
lief shipments to Europe have been
falling far short of actual com
mitments," said Wayne Corpening,
county farm agt i t this week in
speaking of the situation.
Mr. Corpening also pointed out
that unfavorable Weather condi
tions in parts of the United States
and shortage of labor on farms and
commitments that have been made
by this conutry to Europe, that it
will be necessary that more feed
be grown at home.
"We must now start working on
the feed crop for this winter. There
is just a little while left that we
can get more summer hay crops
in," said the county farm agent in
cooperation with the drive to grow
more feed.
There is time between now and
July 1st to seed some more crops
for hay and in this group that may
still he grown are the following,
according to Mr. Corpening: soy
beans, and cowpeas with millet and
cane; cane in rows for more forage;
and Sudan grass.
These crops should he fertilized
with from 20(1 to 400 pounds of
complete fertilizer. On the hay
that is being cut now more at
tention should he paid to the time
of cutting and the length of time
the hay is left in the fields before
stacking or putting in barn loft.
Many of the hay crops in this
county are not cut soon enough,
according to the farm agent, to
get the best grade of hay and then
it is often left in the field too long
before being put in the barn or
stacked, it was pointed out.
One of the best ways to save
food is to have good pastures wint
er and summer and growing cover
crops in the winter for grazing.
Haywood farmers are urged to
start planning now on seeding more
Alfalfa in August as this is one of
the best hay crops available.
Flames shoot from the house front.

No Driver's License
But a Good Substitute
BALTIMORE, Md. Joseph Za
moiski of Baltimore, says he was
driving his car and fast when a
Virginia Stale Trooper waved him
clown, and said sarcastically:
"Let me sec your pilot's license."
Mr. Zamoiski, a pilot, pulled out
his airplane papers. The officer
laughed, and let him go with a
warning to slow down on the
ground.
