FATHER AND SON
BANQUET HELD
AT ELLENBORO
Young Tar Heel Farmers Are
Hosts to Fathers At En
joyable Dinner
Ellenboro, April 1. —Despite the
inclement weather fifty were present
for the second annual father and
son banquet held in the agricultural
room of the Ellenboro school build
ing last Wednesday evening when
the boys of the Ellenboro chapter of
Young Tar Heel Farmers with their
"dads" heard addresses made by the
following: Roy H. Thomas, state
supervisor for vocational agricultural
education, from Raleigh; superintend
ent of Schools. Clyde A. Erwin; J.
M. Osteen, district agricultural sup
ervisor of Troy, N. C., and Profes
sor T. A. Jones of the Ellenboro
school. The home economics girls of
the school directed by Miss Myrtle
Xesbitt prepared and served the meal
as one of their school projects. Music
was furnished by a five piece string
band.
Mr. Thomas who was introduced by
Superintendent Erwin told the group
that he was proud of the work being
done by the Ellenboro department of
agriculture, and urged parents to co
operate with the teacher to make the
boys project work still better. In
telling about vocational work in the
state Mr. Thomas stated that there
were 10,000 boys and farmers en
rolled in vocational agriculture last
year and that this group produced
nearly a million dollars worth of ag
ricultural products. "For each dol
lar spent in teachers' salary last year
there was a project return of $4.10"
said Mr. Thomas in connection with
a statement that vocational educa
tion pays. During his address he re
lated the success of a Sampson coun
ty vocational agricultural student
who grew on his project 132 bushels
of corn per acre and won first place
in the corn growing contest for
Southern States. Then, he told what
was being done to improve our crops
and animals by reciting a poem, but
finally concluded by asking, "What
is the Worth of Children of Men?"
Professor Clyde A. Erwin, County
'Superintendent of Schools, who in
troduced Mr. Thomas said that he
brought greetings from the County
Board of Education and from all of
Rutherford county. Within his talk
which was filled with humor and wit
he stated that he was anxious to have
a type of education in each school
which functions to the needs of the
community and which will assist in
the development of the community.
"I want to see training in our schools
which will keep the boys and girls
in the community after they have
completed their education rather than
drive them away," was another of
Mr. Erwin's sentences. He expressed
himself as a believer in vocational
education for our schools.
Professor T. A. Jones of the local
school paid tribute to Mr. Erwin in
introducing him but stated that he
believed that the County Superin
tendent did not need an introduction

all the medicine I need."

to the parents and the boys present.
Mr. Osteen who was the first
j speaker told of the rapid development
|of vocational agriculture within the
| county and said that he believed that
,'the Ellenboro department has done
las much to influence this develop
jment as any other one thing. He
| told the group that he knew what it
! cost to grow cotton after summarizing
j hundreds of records but that he
: would like to know more about the
icost of producing sweet potatoes. In
[this connection he urged local farm
' ers present to keep records for the
| department on sweet potato growing.
' At the very beginning of the ban
] quet George Bland, president of the
I Ellenboro chaptfr of Young Tar
jHeel Farmers, welcomed the fathers
and special guests at the request
from A. B. Bushong who acted as
toast master. When the meal was
served the meeting was turned over
to the president of the agricultural
club who called on the students to tell
about the work of the Ellenboro dec
partment of agriculture. George Hel
ton told of the activities of the club
last year. Otto Owens followed him
with a report of last year's project
work. Wyman Barnett then explain
ed the results of the cotton fertilizer
I test conducted by the department
'last year and Carl McKinney was
(next with a report on the corn ferti
lizer test. Glenn McKinney was then
asked to tell how he won the second
prize in the state cotton growing con
test. Before the president turned the
meeting back to the agricultural
teacher he had J. D. McKinney, an
Evening student of the department
tell how he grew 50 bushels of
corn per acre on his project and
won the cash prize and silver cup for
j exhibiting the ten best ears of corn
lat the Rutherford County Fair last
(year. His ten winning ears with cup
were on display at the banquet.
It is believed that the banquet
given by the boys in honor of their
fathers for the last two years are
helping to build up a stronger rela
tionship between father and son
which seems to be one of the needs
of the day.

SPINDALE SCOOTS
; BUILD LOG CABIN
Mr. J. H. Hill's Troop of Scouts
; Erects Cabin on Lands of
Mr. L. C. Ellington
| Spindale, April I.—The Spindale
; Boy Scouts have just completed a
j handsome log cabin on the lands of
1 Mr. L. C. Ellington, two miles west
|of Spindale, on Stonecutter creek,
j The cabin is built of logs which were
. donated by Mr. Ellington, and is of
, ample size to comfortably accom
imodate twenty or more scouts. The
j Town of Spindale aided in the con
; struction of the cabin. The Spindale
j Scouts also had a full share of the
i work in building, as they spent a
j number of afternoons after school
Jat work on the building. The struc
ture is about sixteen by twenty feet,
j with an earthen floor. The roof is
l of tin, which was bought by the
j scouts from the money derived from
! dues, and from donation of interest
!ed friends.
This week the scouts are placing
wall bunks in the building, and are
filling the "cracks" with a liberal sup
ply of mud. It is planned to have a
chimney built at one end of the cabin,
so that it may be used in winter.
An ideal location was picked for
the cabin, which is located on the
Stonecutter Creek, and in a heavily
wooded forest. The short distance
from Spindale makes the cabin eas
ily accessible to the scouts for week
end and over night trips.
Mr. J. H. Hill, scout master of the
Spindale troop, is fast making his
troop one of the outstanding organ
izations in the council. He is ably
assisted in this work by his assist
ant, Russell Northy.
Mr. L. C. Ellington is a prominent
farmer and truck grower and de
serves the thanks of the people for
the interest he has shown in the scout
work, by donating the logs for the
cabin and giving permission for its
erection on his lands.
Last Friday night eighteen mem
bers of the troop spent the night at

WHEY USED AS
A CALF RATION
VERY VALUABLE
Wisconsin Experiment Station
Makes Interesting Test
For a long time whey has not been
given its rightful place as a supple
ment feed, but tests recently made
at the University of Wisconsin Ex
periment Station by Professors Mor
rison, Humphries, .and Hulce predict
that whey will soon come into its
own as a gainful part of a calf ra
tion.
Farmers have always known that
whey is not very high in protein con
tent but the experiments have shown
that what protein is contained in
whey is of an exceptionally high
grade.
Eight calves were used in the ex
periment. When they were about
three weeks old, their food was grad
ually changed from whole milk to
separate whey. Ten days were tak
en to make the change. Together
with the whey, the calves were fed a
protein-rich concentrate mixture con
sisting of 30 parts ground corn, 30
parts standard middlings, 40 parts
linseed meal, with legume hay for a
roughage. v
The allowance of whey was grad
ually increased until the calves were
fed 14 pounds each daily of the whey
at the age of six weeks.
During the course of the experi
ment which extended over six months,
the- calves made a daily gain of 1.48
pounds per head, and in addition
were a vigorous and thrifty lot.
The calves that.were given a liber
al allowence of skim-milk made
slightly higher gains of 1.68 pounds
per head daily.
Whey that is soured in clean con
tainers is just as valuable as sweet
whey the results of experiments
showed.
Very satisfactory gains through
the use of whey in the ration have
also been reported by the University
of Kansas Experiment Station.
