Variety Tests Check On Small Grain Production Evaluation trials of small grain varieties are conducted each year on farmer fields by the North Car olina Agriculture Experiment Sta tion. According to F. W. Brittain, research instructor in charge of variety testing at North Carolina State College, performance of com mercially available and prospective varieties of oats, wheat and barley are tested each year. Brittain says that seasonal condi tions vary from year to year, and therefore a variety that appears to be excellent for a single year may not prove to be consistently superior to other test varieties. He states that records of these years duration present a better basis for choosing varieties that are more likely to excel consistently. Only those varieties, adds Brittain, tested for three consecutive years (1954, 1955, and 1956) are com pared in published tables. Since small grains occupy a rel atively small acreage in the moun tain counties, says Brittain, offi cial variety tests are not conducted in this area. However, small grain breeding programs use the Moun tain Research Station near Waynes ville to evaluate prospective new varieties for winter hardiness and cold tolerance. In conjunction with this project, a small variety test is conducted and used as a basis for recommending small grain varie ties for the mountain counties. Brittain adds that summaries of small grain performance for 1956, covering three consecutive years, have recently been published in mimeographed form by the Depart ment of Field Crops at North Caro lina State College as Research Re port No. 1, dated July, 1956. Griffin Faces Several Charges Following Chase Norman Griffin, suspicioned of carrying a load of “white lightning”, led local officers on a wild chase Saturday night be fore being apprehended beyond Keystone camp near Bracken’s creek. Griffin was stopped on Cald well street about 10:00 o’clock Saturday night by Police Chief Paul Fisher. When asked to open the trunk of his car, he said the keys were at his home. As the patrol car turned to follow, the Brevard colored man “turned on the gas”, and tried to out-run the local officers. According to Chief Fisher, who followed in hot pursuit, the Griffin car side-swiped one be longing to Willie Smith beyond Morgan street. Griffin was arrest ed when he failed to make a curve near Bracken’s creek and the patrol car blocked him from returning to the highway. He was tried before Mayor John A. Ford Monday morning, and was released on a' $1,000 bond of charges of possession, transporting, speeding, and hit and run driving. Lions See Film On Natl. Forests At Last Meeting Brevard Lions club at their last regular meeting in Gaither’s saw a color film, “Your National For ests”, shown by Ranger Ted Seely, of the Pisgah district. The film showed scenes from na tional forests in all parts of the country and included a commen tary on the most interesting fea tures of each.

Lutherans Will Beg ini __ Saturday Church School On Saturday morning, October 13, the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd will begin Saturday morning church school, offering studies, music, recreation and hand work activity to children from grades one through seven. The schedule is as follows: 9:00 to 9:50, study period; 9:50 to 10:25, music period; 10:25 to 10:45, re cess with refreshments being serv ed by the women of the Church; 10.45 to 11:30, handiwork or study period, the pastor states. The teachers will be: Rev. Keith J. Beam, Mrs. Jane H. Beam, Mrs. Nell B. Norman, Miss Wilma J. Waters and Mrs. Hilda N. Hardin “We sincerely encourage the par- . ents of the congregation, including the friends of the congregation, to see to it that all children have the * opportunity and privilege to at tend the Saturday church school,” Mr. Beam said. America by 1975 will be a land in which business* expenditures on plant and equipment probably will be about double what they are to day. The National Association of Man ufacturers cites a 1954 study of the Joint Committee on the Economic Report (Federal) which discusses this expected development: The report, taking 1965 as a goal year, says in part: . Business expenditures on plant and equipment are assumed to amount to $60 billion per year •by 1965 compared to $38 billion in 1953 . . . This probably implies a more rapid annual rate of mod ernization or productive facilities than now prevails and probably a ^considerable opportunity to de centralize or disperse industry both as a means of reducing the vulner ability of our industrial plants in case of war and as a contribution toward improved working, travel ing, and living conditions for em ployees.” Lutherans Will Hold Supper On Saturday Night The Brotherhood of the Luther an Church of The Good Sheperd will hold their annual “husband wife” supper at 6 o’clock at the church on Saturday night of this week. All of the men of the congrega tion, plus all of the men who have shown interest in the Brotherhood, and their wives, are invited to at tend this meeting. Also, all of the women of the congregation, plus all who have shown interest in the United Lutheran Church Women, are invited to come and bring their husbands. The evening meal will be served at 6:00 o’clock with the regular meeting and fellowship period coming afterwards. The program will be given by Rev. and Mrs. Keith J. Beam. They will present the program and objectives of the Brotherhood, and the United Lu theran Church Women. KIWANIS CLUB NAMES OFFICERS Directors For 1957 Also Elected.
