There are three lines of live stock

Now I have been met with the argue- ,
bi
ment that there is no market for
Dairy products. The reason is because
there is none to markel. If
a
we will produce the milk and cream,
there is already a grasping market
for every pound we can produce.
The Town of Hendersonvllle is now
st
buying milk and cream from another
state for her own people, and ship- p
ping it into our own Town of Try on; w
while we stand around and while
that there is no market for milk and _
cream. So, whether or not we admit
that there is a market for Dairy
products, there is ail the same. It

PRIZES OFFERED IN j
STATE GARDEN CONTEST:
Raleigh, N. C., April 6.?An oppor-'
tunity for those who have won fame
as good vegetable growers to win substantial
prizes is ofered in the State
Garden Contest which , began on1
March 1 and wil close on February
28, 1927. The time for enrollment In
this contest closes on April 15 and all
gardens to compete for prizes must be i
enrolled by that date.
"Those who wish to take part in
this contest should hand . in their
names to the home demonstration
agent on April 15," says E. B. Morrow
extension horticulturist at State College
who has charge of the contest.
'We are arranging pur closing date to
coincide with the contest being put
on by the Southern Ruralist. Our contest
is open to every county in the
State where as many as 25 entrants
are secured. The county organization
is headed by the home agent cooperating
with the county council of farm j
women. It should be remembered that
the State prizes go only to those
counties making the best showing in
enrollment and reports. Prizes to individuals
are offered by the counties
Last year one county organization offered
16 valuable prizes. Three of
these were for the three best gardens
in the county and the others were distributed
on a township or school district
basis."
Mr. Morrow states that the success
of the garden contest in North Carolina
this year will depend on the enthusiasm
and energy of the local communities.
In some of the more sue
cessful counties last year, the organization
was on a township basis, with
chairmen "for each township and vice
chairmen forthe school districts, and

department at State College. t
"There are four sound, fundamental
reasons why this is true," says Prof.
Curtis. "First, the rapid development
in industrial and business Lines' will
make necessary the production of
more livestock and livestock products
With the increase of industrial workers
in this section, there will come
some who are livestock-minded and
both of these facts will have their influence.
"Second, the coming of tourists or
settlers from livestock states is
bringing to the attention of our home
people the possibilities of livestock
farming in a climate suitable for its
successful propagation andin a territory
adacent to the great consuming
markets.
"Third, the eradication of the cattle
tick is now nearly completed and
opens up the way for a freedom of exchange
of breeding stock which
makes all territory accessible to the
best markets of the country.
"FuorUTT the lesson taught by the
war, post war conditions and the destruction
of cotton by boll weevil is
having and will continue to have a
favorable effect on diversified farming.
This will take into account the

Prof. Curtis states that there are f<
several other minor considerations but Q,

hese are the leading ones. The grow- tj
ng of livestock is sound in principle Sj
md the fact as proven by the accumllated

>LANT CORN WHEN
DOGWOOD BLOOMS S(
Raleigh, N. C., April 5.?When the I g
logwood tree is in run wnite cioom, ti
hen it's time to plant corn in North
Carolina. This is not farming by the tl,
noon but is a fact based on scientific it
nqqiry which shows that the dogwood ^
ree and the corn plant have about
he same heat requirements for sucjpssful
growth. s]
"Some plants thrive in the coolest tl
veather, others in warmest weather
ind between these extremes, a majori;y
of bur farm plants grow best,"
lays G. M. Garren, grain specialist for 'a
he department of agronomy at State it
?olege. "The dogwood tree and the ci
;orn plant have about the same heat T
equirements. The dogwood being al- a
eady rooted starts growing just as w
oon as its heat requirements are met p
rhe flower is its first growth. Corn 0|
slanted at this time will germinate w
ind grow off with best advantage for rj
t successful crop. Apart from its ac- |(
suracy, this rule has two other aa- s
vantages. The dogwood remains in p
lloom about two weeks which gives
imple time for planting the corn crop. e
The application can be made all over 0
he state except in the extreme north- n
western corner." tl
Mr. Garren states that there is not p
% farm worthy of the name that does t
lot grow some corn. The garden, too, -t
should ahve some corn and agrtcultur- t,
il workers, as well as farmers, should v
work to the end that not a pound of h
corn Is imported into North Carolina. s
ro help bring this about the time of
planting is important and early planted
corn outyields in quantity and qua- y
lity the late planted corn. The rule "
if planting when the dogwood is in
flower will be found a great hep in increasing
yields per acre, thinks Mr.
Garren. >

Town Planning Needs
Ability of High Order j
There Is little to be guined by at- f
tempting to determine whether the en- a
glneer, the architect, or the landscape t
architect Is better fitted for the work
of town planning. Each has his own
peculiar advantages and limitations. *
In this country, the landscape archi- 0
tect has taken a prominent part in c
town planning for two reasons: First, c
the profession has tiad the good for- g
tune for several generations of having
a leading firm of gifted men, with
high ideals of professional work and
public service and a developed social
sense, who in turn have trained many
younger men. 8
"A second reason for the high place
occupied by the landscape architect
in town planning is the fact that the
most complete course of specialized j t
training in town planning offered by j e
an American university Is most close- ?
ly related to the advanced technical | d
courses and research work in land ^
scape architecture. These courses of 11
instruction, however, are equally open C
to engineers and architects, and have ^
been taken by many men already well 1
trained in these professions. J
Town planning finally simmers down '
very largely to the relation between ?
design and construction, and the meth- i.
-J- C.. ?klAk '1 ? ko triinslutPil I ,
uu* uy n niv.ii ucoi^n w ^
successfully Into construction, keeping | j,
always In view the element of cost and ; c
the legal authority with which to pro- a
ceed. li
There must be wider training in de S
sign of those who have to do primarily j h
with construction, and a larger expe- | I'
rlence In construction of those who a
have to do primarily with design. The ^
town plan Itself must show an orderly
distribution of all Its parts, with a '
Ice regard for the practical require
ments of each part, and Its esthetic g
potentialities. And there. must be 0
foresight and vision as to what is In- s
voiced In the social and civic life of ?
the community In the execution of the a
plan.?Philadelphia Record. s

Millions of Americans 0
Are Owners of Homes ^
Fourteen million American families p
re home owners today, it is estimated ti
by the Tndiana Limestone Quarry- n
men's association In a survey showing J
the growth of the home-owning idea, b
"America, perhaps rightfully tagged s
the most extravagant nation In the s;
world, spends In one year the sum of o
nearly $3,000,000,000 for autoinobiles. ^
Its tobacco bill runs almost as high, 8
white candv. cakes, lcc <-reim and the v
like consume another 000,000,000. g
Yet with all this see in.rig disregard
for the future the great enterprise of g
home-making Is by no means over- j
looked," says the association. s
"Residential building being approxl- s
mately 60 per cent of the year's estl- s
mated $6,000,000,000 construction pro "b
gram, home-making Is easily the big- a
gfest business of the country; Most *
convincing evidence of the Stability v
and strength of the American people,
despite their <fo-called pleasure extravagance,
Is the ever-growing influ- F
ence of the more substantial type of

HOULD PLANT MORE
SOYBEANS THIS YEAR
Raleigh, N. C., April 5.?There are
jur excellent reasons why a larger
creage should be planted to soybeans
jis year, states E. C. Blair, extenion
agronomist at State College.
The first of these reasons is that
, I
3ybean seed are lower in price than
i several vears. Mr. Rlair states that
ood seed are obtainable at about half
le cost of last year and this in it&lf
should be -a good argument for i
rowing more legumes in the state
lis summer.
The second reason is that there Is a
eed for more legume hay, especially
i the Piedmont and western parts of
le state. The severe drouth in 1925
illed nearly all the clover sown last
p.-ing and soybeans may be planted
lis spring to make up for the scarcir
of clover hay.
V,
The third reason given by Mr. Blair
the possibility of a big cotton crop
i 1926. Indications are that a bumper
rop will be grown all over, the South,
he severe winter has probably killed
large number of the hibernating boll
eevils and this with a large acreage
lanted will cause a heavy production
f cotton resulting in a low price. The
isc cotton farmer will therefore aringe
to have a good supply of feed
? carry his livestock next winter. ,
oybeans make excellent hay for this
urpose.
The fourth and final reason is basil
on the probability that the Coperative
Tobacco Association will
ot function this fall as in the past. If
his be true, states Mr. Blair, a low
rice for tobacco will prevail In North
Jarolina next fall which will show
he thinking planter that he needs
o prepare now for winter feed. It
rould also be wise to reduce the toacco
acreage and put more land to
nvhoaim
