MEETING IS HELD {From Front Page—Second Sec.) he favored passing out cards to them this year on which they could «nter what they proposed to un dertake. England, after the war broke out, R. E. Lawrence said, doubled its production of food crops by using more machinery and plant ing abandoned acreage. Every farm in the county, he said, should have 400 hens and grow more feed. He also stated that the cannery at the high school should be put into operation. F. S. Best told of the success of the Victory Garden movement at Ecusta. Around 1,000 people, he said, had gardens in 1943 and 50 acres were rented by the company so that 95 more persons could have them. The company, Mr. Best stated, will endeavor to induce its employees to plant gardens again this year. “You can easily spot the garden raisers around the plant,” Mr. Best said. “They look better fed than the others.” Ecusta was awarded a handsome plaque for the success of its gardening effort by the National Victory Gar den Institute, Inc., of New York. Mr. Best exhibited the trophy, de scribed in an accompanying letter as “the highest award” for such achievement Soybean Varieties Tested James Dickson told of tests made with different varieties of soybeans in the county. He said he was skeptical about the value of spring oats and remarked that barley sown in the fall was help ful in keeping down weeds. Miss Annabel Teague, county home agent, said if the men would prepare the soil the women would raise the gardens. Mrs. Ar thur Whitmire, president of the county council of home demon stration clubs, concurred in this statement, and Mrs. Perry Cheek, secretary of the council, said the women would try for an even better record this year. J. E. Rufty, Brevard elementary school principal, told how the gar den program was conducted last year, and said that some of the children suggested projects their /}nnh\/ pienamin* VittminiAB.C,D.E,|k'JiJrQ'S [ iGpfa» inrer snd iron. £ MACFIE’S DRUG STORE elders had not thought of. Mayor Verne Clement said the chief criticism of last year’s pro gram was inability to get plowing dons and the cost when it was procurable. He thought some sys tem of getting this work done should be worked out and that competent supervision should be provided for what lie termed “greenhorns.” Tom Renshaw, FSA agent in this county and Henderson, dis cussed milk production. He ad vocated more cows on small farms. Canneries in Henderson county ran day and night during j the season, he said. He stated that i Transylvania and Henderson coun-' ties could produce more “high class food” than any other two counties in North Carolina, yet, he declared, many families in these counties do not have enough to eat. The FSA, he continued, is advocating year-round gardens for its clients. Feed Cost High Walter Hart approved Mr. Ren shaw’s proposal of more cows on small farms. High cost of feed, he stated was a curb on milk produc tion, although there is no shortage in this county. G. H. Farley, manager of the college farm, said they were in creasing their herd of cattle and were getting about seven or eight cases of eggs a week, which was more than enough to fill the col lege’s needs. More hens will be bought, he said. A. M. Paxton, of Rosman, who is also farm labor assistant on the local draft board, favored more effective use of the land now be ing cultivated. He also remarked that last year some men who were deferred in order to farm shirked on the job. This year, he declared, there would be none of this. T. S. Gash, assistant farm agent, said that again this year Victory gardens would be stressed in the 4-H clubs. Around half of these youths had gardens in 1943, he stated, and he expected them to do better this year. W. B. Collins, farm management supervisor for the TVA in Western North Carolina, said he figured that around 1,800 acres of land would be needed to plant the ad ditional crops assigned Transyl vania farmers. He also remarked that this would be “the tightest year of all,” calling for denials of many kinds. Just before the 2-hour session ended, Mr. Glazener presented Ira B. Armfield, business manager of The Transylvania Times, who han Order Spring Fertilizers EARLY To Be Sure Of Your Supply! Scarcity of shipping facilities, manpower shortages, and lack of sufficient storage facilities may have caused some farmers to fail to get a part of their fertilizer when wanted last year. This year the situa tion is even worse. So be sure of your supply, place your order now . . . take delivery early. Order Ar mour’s Big Crop or Planters Fertilizers To Make Every Acre Do Its Best! Farmers Federation FRED MONTEITH, Manager EAST MAIN STREET BREVARD, N. C. [wartime Hints —for— Transylvania and Brevard HOMEMAKERS, By AUNT SAWYER Midwinter Charm Whether you regard January as a sort of dead-end month—a time to sit back and hibernate—allow ing your personal charm and clothes to reach a low ebb, maybe wishing somebody wouldTnake you over, or whether you regard it as a time to do something about it yourself—a time for self-improve ment and blooming out — is to be determined altogether by you yourself. If you decide on the lat ter course, and of course you will, you might begin by following a few simple rules for personal charm. Rest, the experts tell us, is a “must” charm builder, and this applies particularly to sleep. You should get at least 56 hours sleep each week. Take measures against the ever-present wrinkles by massaging them oftener with a good rich cream. If you are un derweight or overweight, work out a diet and exercise plan to over come it. You might also catch up the hems, buttons and worn places in the clothes you’ve neglected so long. And for a good mental stimu lation, read at least two good books, one substantial and one light book. Odd Fact Over a year after he was tor peoded in the West Indies, a sea man, applying for new papers af ter losing his wallet in Boston, was handed the original papers he had lost at sea, which had floated ashore at Miami, Fla., and been forwarded to the proper office. Drawn Window Shades To conserve home heating fuel for the duration, draw the window shades whenever light from the windows is not needed. Draw shades to sill in all rooms at night, and in unoccupied rooms, and keep them drawn half way in rooms occupied during the day. The Lowly Turnip The world’s record for turnip eating is said to be held by Jeeter Lester, famed character in “To bacco Road,” who is estimated to have devoured at least four tons of this humble vegetable during the play’s five-year run. Not many people have a preference for Jeet er’s custom of munching turnips raw, but they are cooked and eat en almost everywhere. There are two kinds of turnips—yellow and white — and their close relative, rutabagas. The white ones are of a sweet and delicate taste, and the yellow ones are more strongly flavored. Since the water content of turnips is about 90 percent and they are low in calories, they should be served with more nour ishing vegetables. We’ll give you some good turnip recipes another time. died much of the publicity incident to the enlarged farm program last year. The county agent said that not only had he handled the pub licity in such a way as to produce gratifying results but that many of the ideas evolved had been utilized in other counties in North Carolina. Mr. Armfield spoke brief ly, pledging the paper’s energetic support of the new farm program. After the meeting adjourned, there was a joint conference of the county Triple-A committee and the TVA committee to discuss the proper use of lime and phosphate, at which Mr. Collins presided. Did You Know That? Did you know—That parachutes taken out of service are cut up and made into scarfs for the fly ers, and that at the end of 7 years they are taken out of service? That 75 passenger and freight trains are needed to move one U. S. armored division? That ma chinery formerly used in the man ufacture of station wagon bodies is now being used in making parts for gliders? That camphor is used not only as a drug but also in the manufacture of motion picture film? That 75 percent of the earth’s surface is water? Tommy Speaks His Mind Tommy Jones, three and a half year-old son of Supt. and Mrs. J. B. Jones, plainly showed his momentary irritation with big brother Paul, when the latter, shortly before entering military service, was teasing little Tommy one day. Out of a clear sky, the family, never having heard Tom my mention such a thing before, heard him say this to Paul: Tommy—“I just wish they’d put you in 1-A and draft you.” Former Brevard Man Dies In Oklahoma t C.
