THE RIGGEST COUNTY RAISES IRISH POTATO ES. EGGS, HAY. BEEF AND VEAL. MUTTON AND RYE TO SUPPLY NEEDS AND HAVE SURPLUS, BUT OTHE R STAPLES SHORT f ? H. Jeter, Agricultural Editor, N. C. State College uraiiam county farmers in 19281 raised enough Irish potatoes, eggs, j hay, beef and veal, mutton and rye ' to supply not only their food and 1 feed need? in these staples but the j needs of the entire county and to j have surpluses left over for export ! and sale outside the county. This is revealed in a survey made : by the State oCllege agricultural ex- i tension service in co-operation I with the "Live At Home" program i announced by Governor O. Max , Gardner as a major project for I North Carolina in 1930. Governor Gardner and the agricultural leaders of the State agree that the surest way to restore the basic prosperity j of North Carol'na is to encourage 1 the farmers of the State to raise enough food and feed crops to make ? them independent of outside markets. Aiong this line farmers are be ing urged to produce the so-called . "money crops" only after having tak en care of their own requirements j in the food and feed line. Graham county is remarkably free : from bondage to money crops be- ' cause on account of its geographical i location it raises practically no cot-| ton or tobacco, the two big tyrants, of Tar Heel agriculture, but Graham | county in 1928 did not prcr'.uce | enough corn, wheat, oats, sweet po-i tatoes, milk or poultry to meet the requirements of its population. These j requirements are based on the aver- J age food and feed consumption of ! humans and livestock throughout ' the United States. Production of these staples in Graham county in 1928 fell about | $198,000 short of meeting require-] ments. On the other hand Gv&hamj county produces surpluses of other j staple products valued at $80,030. I Graham county goes in strongly for livestock and in connectioi. v/ith its livestock in<histry raises plenty of hay to meet its own need:; and to have a pre at deal left ovet for export. Hay production in Gn haru county was boosted five thousand tons in the eti^ht year period from 1920 to 1928. During this period the production of beef and veal fell off about one thousand head hut the production of milk was increased from 299,432 gal lons to 369,420 gallons. The produc tion of pork fell off sharply from, 4,993 head to 1,778 head. The pro-! duction of mutton increased by 260 head. Production of corn increased about twelve thousand bushels. Production of poultry was boosted from 16,791 fowls to 21.366 while the production of eggs was increased 88.000 dozen. There is a need for the production of more corn ? about 31,000 more bushels or about twenty percent ? and there is a wide open market for oats. Wheat growing has complete ly died out in Graham since 1920. Production of sweet potatoes has increased but production yet lacks five thousand bushels of meeting re quirements. In 1920 the production of pork was sufficient to meet the demand of the entire population of the county but in 1928 the produc j tion was 717 head short of require ments. While the production of milk has been increased it still falls 211,917 gdllons short of meeting the require ments of the population of the coun ty based on the average consumption of milk and milk products by the av ; erage American "itizen. Poultry | production, too, fans 0,604 fowls I short cf meeting the county's needs. ? * * ? - - * | WITH THE CHURCHES PRESBYTERIAN CirT.CH I>I H ECTOR Y Pastor J. P. Anderson DKAGONS Chairman .... J.

Bailey RALPH MOODY ANNOUNCES FOR SOL ICITOR Youm Murphy Lawyer Throw.* Hat In Rin^ After Solicitor Davis De cide* Not to Run Ralph Moody, prominent young* Murphy lawyer, announced this week that he is a candidate for solicitor of the 20th Judicial district in the June Primal y. Mr. Moody's decision to enter the race was made only after he had been assured by G rover Davis, the present incumbent that he would not, be a candidate to suc ceed hin-.self. and upon the urgent re quests of friends from all over the district that he throw his hat into the ring. Mr. Moody".- announcement places five candidates in the field for this office, making two from Cherokee, two from Haywood and one irom Swain. Mayor Harry P. Cooper is the other candidate from Cherokee. James \V. Ferguson and John M. Queen are candidates from Haywood, and Thad D. Bryson Jr. is the candi date from Swain. Although Mr. Moody is the last to announce for solicitor, his qualifica tions and ability places him in the front ranks < f the five candidates as a strong contender for this office. A native of Graham County, hi parents moved to Murphy in his ear ly youth, and he received his elemen tary education in the Murphy public schools. He attended the Asheville school for boys, and later spent five years at the University of North Car olina where he equipped himself for the practice <>f law.

During his seven years of practic ing law he has made for himself an enviable reputation in the legal pro fession, and his ability and integrity a^- a lawyer and citizen will undoubt edly make him a strong contender for the office in the June Primary. A LOVING THOUGHT OF RUTH) MALLONEE. "Of such as she was there he few on earth; Of such as she is, there are many in heaven ; And life is all the sweeter that she lived. And Death is all the brighter that she died. And Heaven is all the happier thai she is there."' And so I think as 1 look above to the peaceful sky. Looking through my tears to that tender blue, I know ^he is beyond the rcdiant sun. And "Heaven is happier that she is there.*' Oh, snow white Dove! Thou has winped thy way To God while thou wert still as pure as the lillit's That bloom about His throne. In the beautiful Morning of thy life, while the velvet grass grew Softly 'neath thy feet and the birds sang in the trees, Ere the noonday heat or evening cloud.
