Good stock is not only a source of personal pride and I satisfaction, but it enhances the agricultural value of the community or county where it is found. It is a unit of1 measure in agricultural progressiveness. Dairying is one phase of farming that is neglected in Polk county. Recent statistics show the^e are 1,225 farms in the county, and only six or them are carrying on dairying; thai have as many as ten cows and make it, there are just six farmerrs who dairying their main source of income. Practically every farmer In the coun ty owns one or two cows> and in ttie latter case he has some milk or butter to place on the local; market occasionally. Unfortunately, there are very few registered cows in the pounty, and most of them are owned bly one dairyman; in fact, this county ranks low in number of purebred Icows when compared to other counties in the state. Why do our cattle stay at such a low ebb? Principally because we permit the use of scrub sires and, as a consequence, we gel a crop of calves that, when mature, will produce no more or richer miljc that their dams. Of course, there |are exceptions. A recent survey has shown there are approximately twenty scrub or grade sires in Polk couinty against two registered ones. This jis certainly a wide ratio, and we sholiid endeavor to better our condition by replacing the scrub with the more desirable and THE STORY OF A ROSE. By Albert L. Berry. There has bloomed in oijr garden ra Tryon this spring a new rose, with a history, a tragedy and! the fulfillment of a promise. ThePe lived In one of the quiet valleys <^f Southern T France a noted horticulturist, Monsieur Pernet, whose onlyj son, Clandius Pernet. was killed In! the recent war. His son, like his father, was a great lover of roses, especially the yellow rose, for the yelloy Marshall Niel had long been the rose of France. At the battle of Peronnp, Claudius Pernet was killed on Easter day, and Monsieur Pernet said ttyat! If he were spared he would perfect a rose and name it for his son; and the beauty of the rose should commemorate the lore for his son. So Monsieur Pernet polled patiently and long in his gardens in Southern France to perfect 4 yellow rase. Then fire years afterwards, when the Easter bells were ringing in the quiet villages of France, anfj the city. Being built of stone, with exquisite architecture, and Its central location It will serve as a great factor in the transaction of the company's businesi affairs. , Some people go to Europe by rail That is, they lean over the rail moat of the way.

A registered sire costs more than a grade. However, the offspring is likewise more valuable. We know that a well bred cow will usually produce more milk ana a milk richer in butter-fat than her degraded sister.

"We realize what a great economic waste this Is," says Prof. S. S. Steinberg of the University of Maryland, "when we consider that one-third of all the antomobllee In use are owned by farmers, most of whom are compelled to use the eprth roads. "Many attempts have been made to solve this problem. North Carolina has used a sand asphalt surface, made up of a mixture of 98 per cent sand and 7 per cent of asphalt "Realizing that this la one of the most Important problems confronting highway engineers, the highway research board Is attempting to co-ordinate completed and current research on the subject with the hope of developing a low-cost road surface that wlH Ra - aa?a-A.

Randel, vice president of Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc., who recently returned to Asheville from a tour or inspection. "We expect, within a few weeks," said Mr. Randel, "to be ready for guests at the hotel. Our company will not operate It. Arrangements have been made with the officials of the Contlnental-Leland hotel syndicate of New York City to manage this hotel. These people have made a great success with the Shelton.hotel In New York and a score of other hostelries they manage and own. They hare selected the furniture and other equipment to avoid delays in opening. "Foundations have also been laid for several buildings at Lake Lure. These include a new administration building, offices, bank, postofflce, stores, bus terminal, city hall and other buildings necessary to a well regulated town. j "We also have under construction boat landings, bath houses and amusement facilities at Mermaid Beach, which is just in front of the Lake Lure hotel. The business center will have every unit which a model town should possess. Everything is of the very best construction and the high, est type all the way through. A feature will be the civic center near the Luremont sub-division, which will be built in the nature of a rustic natural park surrounding the Bottomless Pools.
