TRY OUR CLASSIFIED COLUMN FOR RESULTS THE FOREST CITY COURIER FRUIT GROWERS ORGANIZE MARKET MOUNTAIN APPLES Asheville, Dec. 29. —To strengthen and perfect the organization of the Western North Carolina Fruit Grow ers' Society, a large group of grow ers met recently at the Battery Park Hotel in Asheville as the guests of Col. J. S. Bowen, president of the So ciety and manager of the Holston Or chards of Altapass. A constitution and by-laws was adopted having for its purpose the improvement of the quality and quan tity of fruit grown in the territory the use of better packs and grades of fruit, more attention to marketing and urging better systems of trans portation and crop reporting. Mem bership in the Society was set at $2 per year with a life membership of S6O. Mr. Eugene Carland of Ashe ville was elected treasurer. According to H. R. Niswonger, ex tension horticulturist for State Col lege at work in this territory, the meeting did much to develop greater interest in the fruit growing possi bilitier of western North Carolina. Short talks were made by President Bowen, Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt and James G. K. McClure. All of the speakers urged better co-operation because it was through co-operation that the fruit growers of the Pacific Slope had captured the market in North Carolina. Much attention was devoted to the need for better grading and' pack ing. North Carolina apples are known now only by the poor quality of fruit only by the poor quality of fruit shipped out. Mr. Niswonger states that the new organization will do much to improve conditions in the fruit industry and it is expected that it will later begin ad vertising Carolina apples. RENEW SPARK OF LIFE IN WORN OUT SOILS Statesville, Dec. 29.—1t is possible to renew the spark of life in worn out soils by the proper treatment of the land, the control of erosion, and by liming and growing legumes. "We often hear people say that a farm has been worn out and is worth less from a crop production stand point," says R. W. Graeber, county agent for the State College extension service in this county. "Land may be mined and abused until it is un productive but the spark of life can be made to kindle into flame by the right kind of treatment. At least this is happening on the farm re cently purchased in this county by S. J. Holland and Roger Moore. "The former owner of this land had hardly been able to pay taxes from the crops raised. The present owners purchased the farm in the early part of the summer and placed a negro with a team to plow in gul lies, ditches, all summer. This con tinued until about 50 acres had been plowed. Most of this was sowed in cowpeas and recently the crop was turned with a tractor preparatory to a grain crop. They continued their program of filling gullies by the use of the plow and drag pan. "On November 4th the County Agent surveyed a system of terraces for this entire field of 50 acres. These terraces are being built on the Man gum style. The entire field received an application of lime and 12-3-3 fer tilizer before seeding in grain. This will be followed in the spring of 1925 with a mixture of Red Clover and Lespedeza. "Does such work as the above pay? Let's consider the matter. The own ers paid S6O per acre for 85 acres. They have renovated 50 acres at an appropriate cost of $lO per acre out side the cost of lime and fertilizer. Since the renovation of the 50 acres they refused two offers of SIOO per acre for the entire farm. In fact, one farmer living on. an adjacent farm recently said to me, 'I did not know that it was possible to make a farm look like this, after it had been so badly abused. I wis'a now that I had bought the land myself'." EXECUTRIX NOTICE. Having qualified as executrix of the estate of J. B. Flack, deceased, late of Rutherford county, this is to notify all persons having claims against the estate of said deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned on or before the 10th day of December, 1925, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery.

A wise man doesn't attempt to pass an automobile driven by a wom an. If Congress intends to pass a public buildings bill at this session, it is keeping mighty quiet about it. SAVE THE BROOD SOWS Raleigh, Dec. 29.—Faced with the fehortest crop of corn in recent years, farmers of the midwest are selling their hogs so rapidly that there are not pens enough to hold them in the great markets like Chicago. During the first week in December 383,000 head were sold in Chicago alone and in the eleven large markets 1,106,- 000 hogs were sold. All kinds are be i*-g sold, runts, sows, unfinished and finished pigs—the sole idea being to get rid of them. "This means but one thing for the North Carolina farmer," says W. W. Shay, in charge of swine extension for State College. "Save the brood sows and breed them next April. Any man who has a surplus of corn can afford to breed every sow that he can support during the next sum mer." Mr. Shay bases his recommenda tion on the history of hog raising in the past when a short corn crop has been followed by just such selling of hogs and his in turn by the heavy planting of corn again the following year. With plenty of corn next fall, folks will look for pigs to feed. If there is a shortage of hogs, Mr. Shay believes that during the winter of 1925-26 good hogs will pay the price of one and one-half bushels of corn for every bushel they eat. Mr. Shay states that it is import ant that North Carolina farmers learn to think of the hog as a go" d medium through which to sell corn He has not generally advocated an in crease in the number of hogs for -North Carolina but rather has urged the better feeding of those on hand. However, things look too good now not to advocate more hogs and so he urges that all good brood sows be saved and bred for pigs next fall.
