LETTERS
Dear Brother Editor:
For some weeks agents of the 1
liquor interests have been canvassing 1
mostly in the cities and towns of 1
this state securing signers to peti- 1
tions asking for the weakening of
our liquor laws and seeking through \
a "'Wine and Beer" amendment tc
get an entering wedge by which 1
they can bring back the liquor
. traffic. 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.

This resolution is from ...

At our last regular business meet

our endorsement of the prohibitior
aws as they are now written on th
statute books. We urge you to upic-ld

'trengthen them and secure bettei

rules and regulations, and erect
rivid traffic signs at most dangerou?
joints.

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

elation. 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

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.
