Winchester Emphasizes Poul try and Legume* In Franklin ton Community In a recent meeting of farmer! la Franklin County an agricultural leader made the statement that Franklin County produced fewer hens than it needed in the county. It was pointed out that thia condi tion was due in part to the large number of high producing flocks In the Frankllnton community. The teachers of agriculture In the coun ty asked Mr. Winchester to show them some of the good work being done In growing poultry and In Browing legumes, especially lespe deia. A number of conveniently located projects were selected, and a few others who were interested. The farm enterprises observed by those making the tour constitute a part of the practical work of the vocational department of the Frank llnton High School. Mr. Wlnchestor if kept busy assisting these and others who are enrolled as voca tional students. He finds that dur ing the summer months he has the opportunity of giving individual in struction to his students a* they meet their problems -on the farm. This metehod which is used by vo cational teachers Is considered a val uable means of assisting the stu dent to put into practice those farm operations which are studied in the ilass room by the high school stu dents and by those who attend eve ning classes. Brutus Barrett, an eighth grade student, began his (look of Single Comb White Leghorns with 306 blood tested chicks, which were hatched by the Frankllnton School Hatchery. Brutus had lost only 18 chicks. The others seemed to be heklHty and lit a thriving condition. Bight sacks of mash had been used during the first six weeks. The chicks were well housed In c brood er house 14. ft. x l?.ft. which was heated by a homemade brick brood er. Bill Banks, a ninth grade pupil, has paid all costs up to the present time by the sale of his cockerels as broilers. Bill began with 219 blood tested Single Comb White Leghorn chicks and 100 Rhode Is land Reds. He has raised 212 of the Leghorns and 90 of the Reds. His pullets are on range, and give all Indications that they will be ready to begin laying in August. In addi tion to his poultry Bill Is growing corn. Dr. Banks showed a very good stand of volunteer Korean Lespe deza, which he plans to leave after cutting his wheat. At the home of Rev. J. F. Mltch lner a pasture, which had been grazed very heavily last .year, showed an excellent stand of Kor ean Lespedeza. Several mules were grazing on it at the time. W. S. Goswick had an excellent crop of wheat with a good stand of Tennessee 76 Lespedeza. In spite of the fact that army worms did con siderable damage to his crop last fall, enough seed was left for a good volunteer stand. Billy Perry has a field of corn , following a crop of lespedeza, and also two acres of tobacco. On the farm of G. L. Cook army worms cut his lespedeza to the ground last fall. This land was disked and -planted' to . wheat. .A splendid crop of wheat an an ex cellent volunteer stand of lespedeza were seen. It was pointed out that lespedeza does not require any at tention at all during the busy spring months. On the farm of W. C. Wilder wheat showed a marked improve ment where It followed a crop of Tennessee 76 Lespedeba over land where no lespedeza was grown. In dications were that the lespedesa would more than doubla the crop of wheat The farm of C. T. Nicholson was a succession of grain, clovers, hay stacks, soybeans, lespedesa. alfalfa, and pastures Mr. Nicholson made almost three tons of alfalfa per acre at his first cutting this year, pnd the alfalfa was almost ready for a second cutting. It was easy to find heads of wheat with sixty or more well filled kernels to the head In a field be longing to R. L. Wilder. At the farm of B. B. Pruitt a heavy crop of certified Tennessee < Barley had been harvested. A field of Coker's Special Abrussl Rye in dicated that a heavy yield could be expected. In the field where bar ley had been cut here was almost a perfect stand of Korean Leepedesa. Uist year this field was heavily In fested with dodder.. Mr. Pruitt used a large blowtorch and burned the lespedesa and dodder In the spots where the dodder was growing. So .(?manly a'Hewvsmall place* showed as infestation of dodder.

Curb Market Needs Support Many Products Offered Fur Sale But fuliiw Ictlei The third week of the operation of the cuib market in charge of the various womens clubs under the su pervision of Miss Priest. Franklin County Home Agent, saw a slight de cline in both number of club members offering products for sale and num ber of customers and sales. Twelve club members with others to assist thftm from the clubs at Maplevllle, tfpsom, Mitchlnerg, Cedar Rock, Bunn, Sandy Creek, and Seven Paths, were on the market with their products. Dewberries was added to the liat of fresh fruits and vegetables and the l'st of other products remained about the same. Cakes and pies continued in popularity and sales of dressed poultry increased. Regret was expressed that so few i eople avail themselves of the oppor tunity to secure the fresh products direct from the producer when the same product are bought elsewhere. Those buyers present seemed to . be boosters arri much in faror of the curb market? The basket of fresh vegetables which is given to the purchaser who holds the lucky number went to Mrs. A. V. Person. Some slight annoyance was experienced in one or two instances when a customer reserved some product and then failed to take It causing loss of sales. .Members of the clubs expressed the desire that customers not ask them 10 keep articles unless paid for at the time. Mrs. M. M. Person and Mrs. Oliver Perry v/il be In charge of the market Saturday June 27 as Miss Priest will be In camp at that time with members of the 4-H girls clubs of Franklin County.

It Is rich la the history and traditions of more than a cen tury of Southern life and culture. The spacious campus with Its cen tury old oaks and the Beautiful buildings of colonial architecture seem alive with the eternal spirit of the best and the holiest from the days that are dead. Though old In years Loulsburg College Is young in faith and vision.

Days Of '49 One of the most amazing and in triguing periods of American history is depicted in "The Aveager," Col umbia's latest feature, starring Buck Jones, which comes to the Loulsburg Theatre on Saturday, June 27. The lccale of this picture is California in the hectic gold rush days of '49. That was the era, when long trains of prairto schooners, loadpd with voy ageurs, treked steadily westward. The travelers endured Svery priva tion and danger and finally arrived in California to begin Uktfr frantic ? arch for gold. Bt, as shown In "The Avenger," life in the mining camps vas usually as hazardous as life on the long trail. There was no estab lished law and "might made right." "The Avenger" tells the historical ly true story of a famous California bandit who was forced into outlawry because of unjust treatment Buck Jones, famous Western actor, has the title role and Dorothy Rerier plays opposite. The supporting cast Includes Eld ward Peil, Sr., Otto Hoffman, and Edward Hearn. Roy William NeiU directed the production.
