The Continental Congress gave gener ous grants of land to her soldiers; the Congress of the United States operates agricultural schools all over the country. . One of these "On the Farm Training Program" schools, flour ishing under the tutelage of Bob Evans, teacher of vocational agri culture at Clyde High School, proves that the Haywood farm boy needs no more than a fair chance to make a farmer a master . farm er. ' V."-",, They say that the best teaching is done by example. The old remark: "Don't do as I do; do as I tell you to do" provokes a wry grin. Bob Green, former chief warrant officer, with 8I2 years of service In the Navy; assistant teacher of agriculture, has proved indisput ably that a Haywood farmer has to be shown. Ex-Chief Warrant Officer Green has two 500-capacity poultry houses completed and now housing 1000 hard-working hens, laying eggs for the flourishing hatching egg mar ket. The completed year cycle of his initial 500-hen unit netted him a profit of better than $6.00 for every hen in his house.

Ten . of the student farmers raise, tobacco, Whether the outstanding success'of the Medford boys, Charles and Robert, in raising the weed is 'due to guidance given them by teach ers, Evans and Green, or simply to the fact that they are Medfords is for you to decide. There is an old saying around Lake Junaluska and Clyde that "those Medfords sure know how to raise Burley". Charles Medford for Instance, placed his rows five feet apart with plants spaced at 10 inches, pro ducing more than 3,412 pounds of marketable burley on one acre. I say "more" because hard luck cost him a considerable quantity of the total poundage., Brother Robert says that you will find his" rows 10 feet apart next year. , Robert did all right himself; with W - - jj.rm a a n u wmmi 1 esso &(m (sm 4,080 pounds on 2 110 acres bring ing an average of 60 cents a pound. Although Clifford Ernest Brown's long line' of baskets in the Carolina warehouse in Asheville hasn't been sold yet, I wouldn't mind having a small share in the proceeds. I know what I am talking about, because the palms of biy hands itched when I saw them there. James Holt who lives in the Jones Cove section is one of those fellows who have a natural knack for growing burley. Mr. Green re marked that James Holt's tobacco is always good and to grow 5,600 pounds of the best quality on 2V acres is good. Hilliard Clark of Upper Crab tree, Neal Hipps of Beaverdam, George Hoglen of Dutch Cove, Mar vin Mattcson of Lake Junaluska, George J. (Julian) Smathers of Clyde, Norman Burgess of Iron Duff, Arlis Summey and Harley Wilson, both of Dutch Cove do a splendid job in the "tobaccy" patch and grading shed, but tend to place greater , emphasis upon ; other branches of farming.

"Olin" is an enthusiastic grower of the king of the forage crops alfalfa. His newly seeded acre of "Atlantic", a .strain highly recommended for this section, will , draw the close scrutiny of his farm er neighbors. 1 ' . Homer Sorrells of , Thickety reacnea the "school so ution" to use the lingo of Fort Benning's 90-day wonders, by keeping a very fine herd of grade beef cattle. Another of the beef barons is Lenoir Smathers of Clyde who has 65- head both purebred and grade. Many jof you saw his bull in the recent cattle show. George J. (Julian) Smathers' herd of live registered Guernsey heifers Is headed by a Brahman uun, dui uon t get tne idea that he doesn't eye with appreciation, the glorious pedigree of the finest bull in Haywood County, John Carver, of the local artificial breeding asso ciation. Let's end with the statement of Bob Green that a Haywood county farmer can earn $15.00 an hour growing tobacco.' Could be, but bur hypothetical farmer would have to be a fast worker'and A skillful one and he couldn't keep count long, hard hours of waiting for pay day.

Following Is a summary of the sanitary conditions found, nqt including the school cafeterias, which were inspected separately and which grades will be publish ed in a separate report. All schools were graded on a numerical basis as follows: 90.0 100.0 per cent equal ,to Grade A; 80.0 to 89.5 per cenjt Grade B; 70.0-79.5 per cent equal to Grade C, and any grade below 70 per cent means the sanitary condition of that school is below the minimum standards as required by law and common decency. It is apparent that the school administration has accomplished a great deal with the funds available but due to the large Increase in number of children many of the toilets, drinking facilities and other equipment is very inadequate as to number and repair and accounts for many of the low grades found on this preliminary survey. So it is very apparent that we must have more money to supply our school children with schools that will at least be In as good sani tary condition as our prison camps. ' Haywood County has five schools which do. not measure up to 70 points or Grade C, which, as has been stated, is .the minimum re quirement to operate. We have 9 Grade C schools; 10 Grade B and 1 Grade A. The major violations in all of these schools are: (1) A safe, adequate and potable drinking water supply; (2) Inadequate sewage disposal; such as, 3 schools discharging raw sewage into very small streams of water, same stream being on school yard and used as part of the play ground; thereby making very pos sible and very probable a means of transmitting communicable dis ease from one child or one family to another such as diphtheria of which disease we have a record number of cases in Haywood Coun. ty this past year. This stream could also be the source of typhoid, pos sibly infantile paralysis and a num ber of other , communicable dis eases;:" : ' (3) Toilet facilities are very in adequate, out of style, poorly con structed, in poor repair, thereby making them almost impossible to keep clean" and sanitary consider ing the load using them each day. ; (4) Drinking fountains are in adequate, poorly located in build ings and a few of the wrong type whereby one child may contamln-at-or pass such diseases as trench mouth," colds, influenza3 and gastro and Intestinal upsets to other chil dren. '; '.':"': (5) Garbage and refuse disposal is very bad in many of our schools. A typical example, one of our larg er schools takes their tin cans, garbage, paper and food scraps to a dry wash behind the school house and dumps them there without cov ering or burning thereby creating a rat harborage and feeding ground and a place where flies and mos quitoes can breed and thrive, there by producing another situation whereby communicable disease can be transmitted as well as several thousand summer tourists can talk about when they leave Haywood County. . . , (6) Overcrowding of the school rooms, due to the Increased enroll ment; (7) Lack of coat and clothing closets or storage space; , (8) Lack of proper size spats for the very small and the very large and a number of other viola tions of the Sanitary code as drawn up;,to, assure our children of at least minimum .requirements for decent living." ; 1 ' Use Want Ads for quick results WAYNESVILLE CHILDREN UNDER 12 ADMITTED FREE Show Starts at 6:30 P.
