FARM EXPERT
SEES SHORTAGE
OF _
Florida County Agent Is
Surprised at Few Hogs
Raised Here
FARMERSTbSlNG BY
SELLING BULK GRAIN
Corn at Present Prices Is
Losing Proposition
He Says
“Your biggest shortage in Tran
sylvania county insofar as I liave
been able to see is hogs and cat
tle, with special emphasis on
hogs,” sail County Agent S. A.
Albert of Jacksonville, to a rep
resentative of The Times here
Monday. Mr. Lawton, who has
been visiting for several days at
Camp Keystone, is regarded as an
authority on farming and agricul
tural interests, and has traveled
over the entire county while here.
“With all the corn being grown
in the count.v. and with the low
price at which it is now selling,
it is easy to see that thousands of
dollars are being lost each year
by the farmers of Transylvania
county, by not selling the corn
through hogs and cattle instead
of putting it on the market for
a cash price that will not pay for
the raising,” the agriculturist
said.
Mr. Lawton was impressed wijfch
the “Rotating Pig Club” move
ment being put on in this county,
expi-essing the opinion that i't
was one of the most forward
steps -taken in any county in th’is
section, and one that would con
tinue to grow in importance as
the purebred stock became scat
tered over the community.
Many acres of land can be seen
lying idle, the Florida man said,
that could be made profitable if
put to grain and the grain in
turn marketed through livestock.
Street Dances To
Be Free in Town
Economy Step Taken Re
garding Light System
No charge can be made in the

ing held Monday night.
The matter of operating public
dance halls was taken up by the
board, but definite action on a li
cense fee was deferred until an

town, with especial order made in
.regard to the Whiteway system in
the business district. This order
Avill go into effect October first
and will leave one light burning

EXCHANGE HAS BEEN SUCCESS
DURING FIRST YEAR’S WORK
That the Women’s Exchange
has proved a profitable enter
prise for its first season of op
eration was brought out at Mon
day afternoon's meeting of the
Women’s Bureau, which organi
zation is sponsoring the Ex
change.
It wa;? pointed out in the re
port of Mis.? Lilian Jenkins, in
charge of Hie Exchange, that 35
members had enrolled during the
past season, and that the greatest
profit had been made on, the ex
change of fancy articles, though
food supplies predominated in the
greatest quantitie:^. A Balance
of something over $30 was' shown
to remain in the treasury, over
and above Llie season’s total ex
penditures, and including the 10
per cent pi’ofit due the Exchange
on sales. The remaining proceeds
went to the individuals or organ
izations contributing articles for
sale. Fancy ai'ticles were sold
through the exchange ranging
from the tinieid and daintiest
handkerchief to the most ela
borate quilt or spread, and food
supplies of all kinds.
The generally expressed opin
ion among members of the Bu
reau was to the effect that the
Women’s Exchange was an alto
gether successful undertaking for
