Teachers Observe
Project Work
G. L. 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.
Near an' old abandoned fara
honse an excellent stand of sweet
clover wns found In 'an old eotton

Improvised tahle. Pork chops, hot
rolls, pickle, ice tea and cake were

in which It was being cared for.
About thirty guests were present
including somo from Raleigh and oth

All thoroughly enjoyed the occas

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.

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.
