Our idea of a failure in life is the fellow who starts at a ribbon counter and ends in an office full of red tape.

Our reiigious papers, our * pastors and our churches fought 1 long and prayed earnestly to outlaw the liquor traific in North Ifc. .= w V/ vBrunii.i miiu in mis nation. v> e ?* " cannot afford now, to let these paid agents to the brewery interests and the corrupt politicians delude our people into cutting a hole through the prohibition dyke which, by united effort and hard work, we have built around this state and around our nation. I write to urge pastors, temperance leaders and all friends of prohibition in the churches to at once secure the adoption of a resolution by their churches urging our congressmen and senators to stand by the laws which we have enacted, and. in every possible way seek to strengthen these laws and make them more effective. Send the resolutions to me and T will forward them in bundles to your congressmen. I submit below a simple form which may be followed with jiny changes that may seem proper. I would suggest fu.*.: r I Chambers of Commerce. ?VClubs. Civic Clubs, FraterOrders and o'her groups might follw out this suggestion. If our pe-j; will heed this simp'e hint we an give to our representatives ni much needed cooperation and encouragement. This is one of th most effective ways by which t- t Lord's people can combat the effort, of the Devil's friends. Very sincerely yours, N. C. Anti-Saloon League. C. A. Upchurch, Sapt To M. C. This resolution is from ... Church At our last regular business meet ng it was voted that we send you our endorsement of the prohibitior aws as they are now written on th statute books. We urge you to upic-ld the laws which we have and. :o seek in every honorable way, to 'trengthen them and secure bettei mforcement of same. Done by order of , Church Address ?iyned Pastor signed Cieri I his 1926.

Most respectfully, GILLIAM GRISSOM, U. S.

As suggestions; eliminate all joy walking, white-line all cross walks, ind enforce the well defined traffic rules and regulations, and erect rivid traffic signs at most dangerou? joints. (Signed) A. W. LOVIXGOOD ORCHARD HINTS FOR THE MONTH If the winter pruning and sprayng has not been finished, get busy vith it now aa 1 should be done before the Spring growth starts. Prum first and burn all the limbs so that ,*ou will destroy all insects anc diseases that could be on the twigs. Then spray with either lime sulphui ar Scalecide for your dormant Spray This spray is very important as vol :an not grow good fruit with a diseas sd tree. The above applies to apples, pean and peach trees. Your grspe vines should be prune< now as it will soon be too late to prune them. If you prune a grapt vine late your vines will bleed t< freely-and injure your vine. Your grape vine? should be spray ed just before your blooms come ou in the Spring. m hubc aeimif uui yuung orcnara should begin to get the ground read; as your trees will soon be delivere< from the nursery if they have no been and they should be set before .he sap begins to rise. The next article to appear in thi >ap?r will be on Fertilization and th summer sprays and how to contro .he different diseases and insects tha infect the fruit.

Hundreds or c- i o d. ocstratcd In a most striking manner that tho weeding ont of non-productive milk cows and better c^re f the producing members of tlio m.: 1 herd pay big dividends. This point was strongly stressed ;n en exhibit a: the International Da!:;. Exposition held at Indianapolis * i October. An actual instance was i given which disclosed tho following : facts. A milk producer had a herd of . ' milk cows producing 27.000 pound ioi mint annually, tic jjinea a c c'tin^ association. The first step eken was to treed out tho non-r* ductive cows, taut is. those cow > biding insufficient mliK to not .. ; rrcfi'.&'.Ie income over and above i feed cert. The weeding out process loft only j four cows in tho milk herd. But . | these remaining1 cows were fed acI' cording to their individual requirements. No sanitary or bcneflc:al feeding measure was neglected. During stabling months, they were given plenty of clean bedding: stables wcrkept clean; the long hair on flanks i and udders were kept clipped. Tho 11 The Cherokee Scout. ; Murphy. N. C. Mr. W. R. Anderson County A pen1 of Clay County, should not firn fault with the farmers for asking questions, since he does rot visit th< J: faimers. He is paid for what he 5 does and tells the farmers and ? i he does not tell them how will somt of the farmers make anything o \ their farm? 1 can speak for only one. I have " never received any advice from th< ! county agent on how to grow rye ar.d I will pay a $5.00 bill to any on? t in the county that can show a bettei t field of rye, at this time of year. f I have an orchard but I do rot as] for advice. If the county agen , wants to come to my j lace ani orchard, and if his system suits me I will he glad to have his help, but I am not going to move my farm tc Hayesville just to have the count} agent look it over. If Mr. W. R. Anderson will gei out among the fatmers he can stor some of the questions. The farmers in Clay County art of a class that are trying to do some thing for themselves and seek for something to do for their benefit. And since the County and State pay Mr. Anderson for his time. The farmers think he should know what is best, as the State pays for the best to be had and the County wants the best for Clay County farmers. As the County grows, it wants its farmers to grow also. With good 11 farming and with other resorce? Clay County has, it can easily lead 1 Western North Carolina but if we have a few more to lay around in the shade and tramp on the grass. 1 how can we expect the grass to grow? What I have to say to the ClayCounty farmers, is to step on the gat and keep off the grass and watch ? the grass grow! We like hot air, but give me action 1 first. H. R. Mcintosh.
