Markers To Be Placed
At Historic Spots
A survey of e.lstoricat/spots in the
mountain area of North Carolina, for
the purpose of erecting highway
markers, will t>e undertaken during
the next two weeks by Miss Maryh;--u
Deiav. ar. acting collector for
th North Carolina Hall of History,

ruarker program in co-ope. ra&o;:
with the department of conservation
and development and the highway
ar.'i public works coramissior. The
legislature at its last session appropriated
$5,000 a year for the present
biennium for this purpose.
Miss L'ekuiuii on. this trip expects

? Bonner Elk,, Nov, 2.?Marjorie
I Kinnan Rowlings, well known author
of "South Moor. Under" and "Golden
Apples," novels of life in rural Florida,
has been spending* the month ot
October here in a cottage near LeesMcRae
College. Mrs. Raw-ings came
to the mountains to begin work on a
j third novel.
The popular novelist praised the
beauty of western North Carolina
and told how she happened to come
to this part of the state to write.
"I first fell m love with the mountains
when 1 came to Slowing Rock
to lecture at the School of English
which was held there last summer."
said Mrs . Rawlings. "Mr. Edwin
Cranberry and I agreed that if there
was any place ideal conditions in
which to write, it is North Carolina."
Mr. Cranberry was also lecturing at
the Blowing Itock School of English.
After the close of the School of
English. Mrs. Rawlings returned to
her home and orange grove in Florida
and began plans for her book It
was then that she decided to return
to the mountains to write and chose
a little cottage on Hemlock Hill in
Banner Elk. There, alone except for
her lively pointer, Pat, she spent the
early part of the autumn hard at
work on die novel. Few persons
were aware that she was Marjorie
Rinnan Rawlings. the author.
In speaking of her newest work,
Mrs. Rawlings said that it would
more nearly resemble her first book,
"South Moon Under." than her later
one, "Golden Apples." The scene will
be laid in the "scrub country" of
Florida.
When asked if she had ever considered
writing of the Carolina
mountains. Mrs. Rawlings suit! she
did not know enough of the eouniiy
and people to write of them, but that
she considered them very interesting,
She said that, in her opinion, some
very talented authors had written of
the mountainc, and mentioned the
novels of Fielding Burke, author of
'Call Home the Heart" and "A Stone
Came Rolling." One of her favorite
books "The Erie King," by her
friend. Edwin Cranberry.
Mrs Rawlings leaves this week for
her home in Florida, but declared iicr
juLcnuun ui iciurmng to isorui crarolina
and said that she plans to build
a summer homo here some day.
BEST TURKEYS SHOULD
BE KEPT AS BREEDERS
Big turkey prices during the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays
oflen tempt producers to sell
their best birds and keep slower developing
turkeys for breeding purposes.
That's about the worst thing they
could uo, corriinr.iits C. F Fairish,
extension poultry specialist at Statu
College.
Now that the holiday season."- are
not far off, he said growers should
classify their birds into three groups:
Breeders, market turkeys, and culls.
Although the very best birds
should be saved for breeders, there
will be many good birds available
for marketing,. and growers should
ngue every eriort lo get their market
birds in good condition, Parrish
pointed out.
Turkey meat is considered somewhat
of a luxury, he added, and
therefore quality birds will command
higher prices than other meat products
of the same food value.
Early hatched, well developed
quick maturing pullets and young
I tonis are given first preference. Consequently,
these should be the type
selection for breeders. Breeders
should also be healthy, active, well
balanced, and free from deformities
The market turkeys should be divided
into two groups, one foi
Thanksgiving and one for Christmas.
In the first group place healthy
birds that have large frames, art
reasonably free from pin feathers
and appear ideal for marketing lati
in November. Confine them in s
place that is not too restricted ant
feed them a fattening ration.
Smaller, timid, slow developing
birds should be placed in the scconc
group, where they will have a longei
time to develop before being placet

I FEED QUAIL AND CHECK
EROSION AT SAME TIME
j Every farmer knows a bobwhite
j quail when he sees one, hut few are
i thoroughly familiar with its food and
J breeding habits, its enemies and the
J diseases that thin out its numbers.
George B. Becker, biologist of the j
soil conservation service, says that:
86*;; of the food of the quail consists
of waste grains and plant food.
In providing quail and other de|
sirable forms of wildlife with food
and cover by the planting of shrubs,
legumes and grasses in gullied areas,
galled spots and odd corners, the
farmer in co-operation with the soil
; conservation service and State Col'
lege extension service not only helps
[ to replenish the supply of wildlife,
j but controls erosion on his farm.
Cowpeas, soybeans, waste grains
left after harvest, sorghums, millet,
wild plum, mulberry, dewberry, ragweed,
lespedeza, bcggarweed, blueberries.
huckleberries, dogwood, wild
cherry and weeds are among the
food producing piants attractive to
the bob white quail.
Fourteen per cent of the food of
the bobwhite quail consists of animal
life, including grasshoppers, weevils,
locusts. chinchbugs, caterpillars,
squash bugs, cucumber beetles and
wireworms. said Becker.
The bobwhite mates usually in
May and lays from 0 to 20 eggs,
which aro hatched in 23 to 24 days.
Soon after hatching the young are
able to take care of themselves in
their new environment, and if everything
goes well with the first, brcod
the female usually does not lay
another set of eggs. ,
Among tiie agencies tending to be- -*
crease the bobwhite. Becker pointed jg
out, aro its predatory ehetvut=?, d:s- case,
and weather comUtons.
Some of the prominent enemies, of I
the quail are stray cats and dogs, 1
Cooper's hawk, sharp-shinned hawk,
skunk, o'possuni, cotton rats, snakes, f
ticks. ro<'hugs and rod tints.
Quail are very susceptible to poui- t
cry aim cannot oc propa - j
gated successfully near chickens.
Quail disease, eoccidiosis, and blackhead
axe among the diseases of the
hobwhite.
While farmers have no control '
oyer tin- weather, Becker stated,
they can provide the quail with food
and cover, which \viit at the same
time help to control soil erosion and
builil up the fertilty of the soil .'is
well as add beauty to the farm. ?
STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS >
TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
Question: How can I inoculate soil for
seeding hairy vetch this fall ?
Answer: in the mountain ar.d piedmont
sections the hest method is to
' moisten the seed with molasses and j
water and then mix them with from
j 200 to 300 pounds of soil from a field
' known to be inoculated. If this cannot
be done a good commercial culture
may be used. In the coastal plains
' especially on the sandier soils, it is
' advisable to use 200 to 300 pounds of I
' soil from a field that is already inoculated
for vetch. If this is impossible,
use cither of the other methods
1 with a good application of stable manure.
It sometimes takes two or three
crops of vetch to establish the inocu'
lation thoroughly and it is thereiore
' | best to start on a small scale.
Question: When should pullets be
I moved to winter quarters ?
\ Answer: This transfer should be
| made from two to four weeks before
the average pullets start to lay, or
' certainly by the time they are in
1 twenty-five per cent production. This
' often causes a conflict, as in many
| uit" ileus arc idling IUU WCII
' to be disturbed and the pullets are ready
to take their place. Where the
' pullets are well matured, of high qual
ity and are in 25 percent lay then
' they should be given the preference. [
If the pullets are immature and of
inferior quality if would be best to _
: j sell them and keep the hens as it is
11 a mistake to replace superior hens
' I with immature or inferior pullets. ^
| Question: When should skim-milk
be substituted for whole milk in feed'
ing the young calf?
r Answer: The substitution should
begin when the calf is four weeks
old. One-half pint of the skim-milk .
should be substituted for whole milk r
at each feeding and continued until
- all the whole milk is replaced. At this
/ time the cal should be getting about
f two quarts or skim-mi.k at each feedo
ing. This amount should be gradually
increased until the animal is receiv- j
ijr from four in five quarts. The
