Everett Farm Sold
To New York Man
Dr. Edward H. Jones of New
York and Texas has purchased the
Everett farm at Davidson River and I
plans to use the l,t>00 acre tract as
a place for fattening cattle that are |
raised on western, ranches owned by
the purchaser.
Dr. and Mrs. Jones have already
taken possession of the farm with
0. E. Shipman in charge of opera
tions. In addition to the Everett I
farm the Jones have also purchased !
a 200-acre estate near Henderson-j
ville where they pian to make their j
home.
The Everett estate of 1,600 acres,'
known as the Lowndes estate, is I
located i n Transylvania county.
al i:g Davidson river south of the j
present state highway from Header-:
sonville to Brevard. It has long been !
famed for its fine grounds and the |
beautiful farming lands. On this,
estate the buildings alone are said to i
be worth about $100,000. There is a !
beautiful old mansion on the pro-j
pci ty and two large stone barns, one
of which was built at a cost of about j
$30,000.
The establishment ot a catue •
ranch in this section at Davidson j
River is the second time within the I
past two years that the value of
Western North Carolina for this I
purpose has been recognized. About i
a year ago the Half Circle B ranch:
was established near Fletcher in:
Henderson county.
Dr. Jones, who has had wide ex-1
perience in both cattle raising and
dairying, having two large ranches:
in Texas and large dairying inter-1
c-ts in New York state, plans to,
use the Everett estate for the pur-;
pose of fattening about 1000 head
f cattle at a time from hTs Texas |
ranches where he has about 3,500,
head of breeding cattle.
Dr. and Mrs. Jones came to ■
We; tern North Carolina several j
years ago and built an attractive
mountain retreat near Henderson-!
vilie. They liked this section so well j
that they decided to locate here per-]
manfully and after looking over of- ;
f . rings they decided on the two es-j
tales mentioned.
The Baldwin estate of 200 acres
is one of the finest and best known j
in the Flat Rock section. It was <
the original home of Charles Bar-1
ing of London, who is credited with ;
being the first to recognize the value j
of the Flat Rock section as a sum- j
mer resort.

Brevard Man Heads
Western WPA Setup
W. E. Breese, Brevard attorney,
has been appointed Works Progress
administrator for the western dis
trict of North Carolina comprising
16 counties.
John P. Brady, Emergency Relief
engineer for the Asheville district
for the past six months, has been
named assistant director of the of
fice, with Polk L. Threlkeld, former
ly in charge of the district highway
offices in Brevard, as WPA engi
neer.
Mr. Breese expects to have the
di: trict office open by August first
and at that time will probably have
a large part of his organization se
lected. The headquarters for the
district will be in Asheville and the
Bi;evard man will spend considerable j
time there.
The district loffice will receive,
study and approve applications for
! work projects from thi- territory
I and forward them to the state of
| flee for final approval and alloes
| lion of funds.
I The Works Progress administra
I tion will have charge of projects
! that have heretofore been operated
under the several federal agencies,
such as the Public Works adminis
tration, Civilian Conservation Corps.
Federal highway and Rural Reset
tlement administrations, and other
branches of the federal agencies
that have been in operation for the
past two years.
Plans .under the federal setup of
the Works Progress administration
call for placing of people on jobs of j
materia] cr lasting value, wages to ;
be paid from the four and a half ,
billion dollar appropriation made by j
congress.
The Works Program Administra- j
tion will finance projects costing j
under $25,000 each while the Pub- j
lie Works Administration will con- ;
tinue to finance projects costing over j
$25,000. •
It is pointed out that whereas the |
PWA grant is 45 cents out of the j
d: liar to local government units, the j
WPA will b? able to grant a max
imum of 70 per cent, and will there
by enable more needed projects of a |
civic nature to be started immediate- j
ly. All labor costs under the WPA .
will be borne by federal funds and a |
part of t'nc material costs.
Roads that are not on the federal:
or rtate systems will be ideal pro-1
jects according to announcement:
made by George W. Coan Jr., state,
director, and projects of modern,
sanitation. This phase is especially |
interesting to Transylvania county
residents, there being several road ■
projects in the county that will come
under this classification, as well as
sanitation programs and improve-1
ments of .health conditions. This type 1
project will be financed by federal
funds, under plans of the WPA. j

sist and encourage the farmers in j

program includes soil building aou.
suii conservation, which can be ac
complished la rely by planned crop,
rotation to include legumes and •
grasses, along with a balance be-,
tween crops and livestock produced,
on the farm. . . ,
Farmers who have planned then ,
farm program to include soil build- [
ing and soil holding crops, namely;
grasses and legumes, are to he bene-,
fitted by the use of the triple phos-:
phates that wifi be furnished them!
by the TV A. Farmers who have not,
given this farm planning idea a
serious thought are urged to con
sider it carefully, weigh all points
and see what is to be gained by so
doing. It means more than just a few
hundred pounds of phosphates at the
present time for the program is be
ing planned to help the farmers for
the next several years. If any phase
of the prorarn is not clear kindly
I pop in at the county agent's office

vitally affects both Transylvania

This highway, which connects
Newport, Tenn., via Waynesville and

other points in South Carolina, is
regarded as an ideal scenic and at
the same time a short route from the
Middle West in to the South, and the

dition with the exception of that
stretch from Brevard to the Ten

makes the matter very imperative
from a business standpoint to the
two communities meeting today.
