Mr. Raesie Howell and Mr. Clyde Young, coaches, state that although there are 15 men reporting for practice, the prospects for the 1935 cage sea son does not look so bright. Of the 15 men reporting there aresixformer lettermen, and four of them are members of last year’s Yancey Coun ty championship team. In a practice game held between Deytoii Bend Ail-Stars and Ciear- mont, the blue and white boys showed their superiority over the more experienced All-Stars in foot work as well as in hitting the ba.sket. It was a hard fought game from start to finish, but Clearmont lield the large end of the 27 to 25 score when the final whistle blew. The team is drilliug upon form, floor-work and passing. They have their goal set to duplicate tlie title. County Champs, again this year.

Armistice Day Lest we forget: A prayer for the boys who never returned and a celebration for those who did—a fervent petition that the Good Lord will keep us out of an other war. By Geo. \V. Smith, J. C. Lynn Comity Agents Yancey County Soil Improve ment Association Lays Stress on Farm Manure (This is the liegin'niiig of a serie.s of articles on farm inamires prepared by J. C. Lynn. Assistant County Agent, Yancey Coupty.) Animal food has not renched its ul timate end wlicii consumed by the animal. Only a small part of-- the essential elements of the food ^are ret.ained by tlie aninml. It is na ture’s plan that these unused ele ments be used agai*.in fertilizing the soil to grow more plniits to feed suc ceeding animals. ' ; Since tlie fariiiers}!io ioiiger allow the livestock to roani at large, it is their responsibility to see that the manure is saved aiql used to replen- ish tlie earth. With the fyeseiit methods used in saving this valuable element the loss between aninn^[j^^il field is eiiur- nious. Itisdoi^Hl if 25 per cent of the manure jii ij^R'ikI on- the farm reaches the fields. Ji is impossible to save all the inaiuirAproduced on the farm, but wiili a little tlumglit and effort we can save 7/per cent of the iiiaimi'e produced. M'ith the large Viumber of farm animals in North Carolina the value | is enormous when calculated on the' basis of the cost of nitrogen, phos phorus, a-i.d potash in conimercial fertilizer. It is highly probable that farm manure produced in North Ca rolina has 11 value of fifteen to twenty million dollars annually. With the present mefliods ii.sed to save this manure probably only six to eight million dollars wortli is saved. It must be realized that^ manure is an inevitableaiiimalproduct of great possible value and profit- While tliere nre not endiigli animals in North Carolina to -supply all the niahure necessary to fertilize onr cul tivated acreage, this is no reasdn wliy we sliouid not save as much as possible of wliat i.s produced. Effects of Farm Manure on Soil Manure liaS a beneficial effect on file ph.ysica.1, cliemical, biological aiul bacteriological conditions of the soil.' Hard, tight clay soils, nre made easy to cultivate aiuf easier for plant rootj to penetrate. Distribution of water in such soils yv- made more uiiiiorni. Loose made mortj cohesi ing capacity Nitrogen, qjihasplior are added to the soil, minor, but very , often important, plant foods such as magnesium, cal cium, etc., are also increased. Decay of the organic matter sets up chemi cal action that causes unavailable plant foods to become more avail able. Beneficial bacteria are put into the soil by an application of manure. Often times we have a very unpro ductive soil that perliaps has suffi cient plant food to supply the plants, but tills food is not in available forms. All plant food neutreiits as as applied to tlie soil are not avail able. They must be changed to available forms. Manure helps co bring about this change by adding beneficial bacteria to the soil. Since our soils require additional food elements for a profitable crop, os farmers we cannot afiord to miss this great opportunity to improve our soil and increase our profits thvougli greater yields.
