and Make Two Tons of Hay

1. M. Stonor promineno citizen
f Murphy, believes that Alfalfa will
irlvo the rouphape feed question of
he farmers of this section. To prove
is theory, Mr. Stoner planted a small
orner of his pardon to Alfalfa. The
atch is 120 by 120 feet, and was
own last October. The fiist outline
as made the first of May. and it is
Mr. Stoner says he will graze his
i'\v ??n it all summer ar.?l gather two
>ns of hay besides. He brought a
talk into the Scout office the latter
art of last week that measured 33
u-hes. He says the patch now, less
nan a month after the first cutting,
ill aveiage l.~? inches high all over.
On a plot 120 by 120 he put 300
ounds of lime, six loads of manure
nd planted ten pounds of seed,
lo !-tated that a rich. deep, loam will
row from three to four crops of ah
a! fa hay a year for seven years withut
replanting.
"The farmers of this section are
uy:ng thousands of dollars worth o(
rwph feed a year." Mr. Stoner stated
and if they would prepare the land
nd plant it to alfalfa with a few
ears they could be shipping thousids
of dollars worth of rough feed
ut of the county each year, besides
aving enough to tide their stock over
?e winter."
Mr. Stoner invites anyone interred
in growing alfalfa to visit his
lace on Dillard Street and see his
itch of alfalfa.

Extension of r-:v.: >f Hon. Zeb'
I-.n Wf.tver. of North Carolina in thfl
House of Representative.--. Friday,
..iay i4, 2i?2b. On the bill ?H. R.
11287) t provide f< the establishrr.ert
of the Shennadoah National
Park, in the State f Virginia, and
t? Great Smoky Mountain National
Park, in the State- of North Carolina
and Tennessee, as taken from
the congressional Record:
MR. WEAVER. Mr. Speaker, for
; ma: v year- the subject < f the creation
? f one or more national parks
in eastern America has been more
?r less discussed. It remained, however,
for the present Secretary of the
Intei ior. Hon. Hubert Work, actively
to project the present effort looking
to the consumr Ait ion of this
purpose. This bill, H. R. 11287. introduced
by Representative Henry
W. Temple of Pennsylvania, provides
for the establistnent of two
great parks in the caster Appalachian
Mountains, one in the State of
Virginia, known as the Shenandoah
National Park, and the other in the
mountains of North Carolina and
Tennessee, to he known as the
Great Smoky Mountain National
Park. Another bill introduced by
Congressman Thatcher, of Kentucky
seeks to convert that great natural
phenomenon, the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky, together with numerous
other caverns of wondrous beauty
and interest, into a third national
park.
1 am more familiar with the area
sought to be included in the Great
Smoky Mountains National Purk than
with either of the others. I have no
doubt that the Shenandoah Valley
Park is of superb and commanding
beauty. I know that the natural
wonders of the great caverns of Ken.
tuckey are most worthy of preservation
by the National Government.
?ui it, is my purpose to call the ot- ,
tention of my collegues particularly
to the Great Smoky Mountains area.
The 18 national parks are situated
west of the Mississippi, where there
is only about 24 per cent of the
population of the United States. It
is now desired to establish these three
areas in the eastern United States,
within easy reach of its vast and
growing populations where more than
80 per cent of the people reside,
j The Great Smoky Mountain area, the
greatest mountain wilderness east of
the Mississippi, massive in its proportions,
and covered with primeval forest,
instead of being in some remote
part of the Nation, is, in fact, very
near to the center of population of
i the United States. The center of
! the population of the United States
: is in Bloomington, Ind., a compare'
lively short distance from the Great
i Smoky Mountains of North Carolina
and Tennessee. This area can be
j reached by rail and automobile from
every Eastern State, from every
Southern State, and from every State
I east of the Mississippi without any
j long and enduring journey. To visit
the great national parks of the West
now requires days and weeks of
I travel, and while their beauties and
| grandeur are superb there are com*
i paratively few people of the United
| States who can undertake this jour1
ney, from lack of time or want of
means. With these great parks
I established in the East they would
be open to her teeming population.
It would be the Mecca for her millions
of people in quest of health
and pleasure and recreation.
B\it how few there are who know
or have the slightest conception
of the area that is embraced in the
territory to be acquired on the Smoky
Mountain area. Its very remoteness
and lack of roads has preserved it in
its primitive grandeur, but now with
the coming of roads and means of
transportation, unless steps shall be
taken to keep it as God gave it to
us, its glory, its wonders, and its attractive
beauties, its primeval forests
and wonderland of flower and shrub
and tree will not survive the attack
and the inroads which will be made
upon them.
Concretely it is proposed to set
aside in the Great Smoky Mountain*
of North Carolina and Tennessee
some 400,000 acres so as to preserve
for posterity a typical and
primitive area of the great Appalachian.
The Appalachian range of
