The Cherokee County Fair was a
eeided success In spite of the un-1
ivorable weather according to an
inouncement made this week by
embers of the Executive Com-'
ittoe. The displays were of a
igh character, though they were
it as numerous as they have been
jretofore, due largely if not wholly,!
i the extremely rainy weather on I
zst day of the fair when the ex-1
ibits were to have been placed in the |
adding. There were a total of 87!
ltries. The continued uncertainty!
I" the weather throughout the fair'
so checked the number going:
irough the gates daily. In the face |
ice of such handicaps, it is consider-!
i tl it the fair was a very decided i
iccess.
All expenses of holding the fair,'
id all premiums for the present!
far are being paid this week and
is expected that approximately
' seventy-five percent of the unaid
premiums of last year will be
aid out of the earnings of the fair
lis year. Members of the Execuw
Committee of the Fair announcI
this week that the balance on the
npaid premiums would be paid out;
F the receipts from the annual fair.]
hich will be held next year. The ^
cact amount of the receipts this year

POWELSON'S PROPOSITION
NOT UNDERSTOOD BY SOME
The Librarian announced this week
i that a number of inquiries had been
| received as to the proposition of Mr.
W. V. N. Powelson with regard to the
nomination of the books he is to
give to the Library. Some think
that the 100 books placed in nominai
tion by the Librarian are the ones
j to be given by Mr. PoweUon. it i*
I said. This is not the case. There
are to be nominated 100 other books
1 by the people using the Library or
i by those who have access to its
shelves, BESIDES THOSE LISTED
IN THE SCOUT.
It behooves every citizen of Murphy,
young and old, to read Mr.
Powelson's proposition elsewhere in
these columns, get acquainted with
it. and act accordingly. Whether or
not you have ever been to th Library
for a book, you are privileged to use
the books within its shelves, and
therefore privileged to nominate a*
j many of the second 100 bocks as you
, please. It is an opportunity to have
your lavoruu hooks piaccn in tni
[ local library and no one should nog
lect the privilege of having a "say"
in the selection of Mr. Powelson's
1 Rift.
When the books in nomination
reach 200 the nominations will close
A ballot of the 200 books will then
be prepared for the puipose of deciding
the 100 books to be given, antl
everybody will have the privilege ol
voting in this final selection, jus1
as they have in nominating the sec
. ond hundred.
Turn to page two, read Mr. Pow
elson's proposition, and act. Don't
.wait! "Procrastination is a thief ol
time." Selah. ill!

^OUiHIY t ARMERS ?
I DISPOSING SUPPLUS CATTLE
Andc.ion Worked Out Plan Which
y Returns One Owner Sum of $5.50
p j For Two Month# Old Calf Above
Selling Charges. y
| in
j Hayesville, Oct. 20.? Willard R. ^
^' Anderson, county agent. has just v
. | made public a statement here to the
effect that on account of the short3
j age of feed there is a movement a;
I mong many of the Clay County farmers
to dispose of nil surplus cattle
t this fall. Especially is this move
jment more manifest among the own
jers of the more common class of cattle
e but the dairymen are holding te
j their best milkers, he stated.
In response to the desire of a numpjher
of farmers to dispose of their
r surplus cattle, especially their young
: fall calves, Mr. Anderson gave out
, ho following statement.
1 "Mr. Fletcher Hawkins, Tal Massey
t and other Crawford creek citizens
urged the county Agent to find a
. market for veal calves which they
I -said they could not winter. The
County Agent realized that there
was but one way to dispose of these
calves and that way was very expensive,
unless there could be car >
load shipments made co-operatively.
"Tal Mossey furnished the calf, the
| county agent guaranteed the calf to
pay all expenses, but could not
j guurantee any return on the calf.
Here is what hai>pened: rope halter
was placed on the calf and it sent to
Murphy by Hunt's truck. A tag was
; placed on the calf addressed to
Hubbard L. Hagesdale Co., Onion
Stock Yards, Cincinnati, Ohio^ ex- i * a
press prepaid, $6.42. The returns
i .were as follows: a common thin black
calf weighing 115 pounds, at 8c per
pound, $11.60, charges 20c yardage
and 75c commission. Total of all <
Tal Mnssey for his calf $5.50.
"This calf was thin and about two
! months old. If the calf had been fat
and the same weight he would have
1 received 13c per pound for it, or
$18.85, and his net return would have
been $12.75. The conclusion from
this demonst-ation is, get the calves
i real fat and they will pay you well.
In case they are thin and you must
dispose of them, perhaps this is the
dest way. Any further information
desired on thie experiment will be
I gladly furnished you.
