After the meeting, Z. O. Jenkins,
who is a staunch Democrat and who
was an ardent supporter of A 1 Smith
in 1928, was asked if it was not un
usual for a Smith supporter to act
as county chairman of a Simmons
club. He made the following state
ment :
Issues Statement.
"No, it is not unusual,., We regret
the fact that, the Democratic nomi
nee of 1928 created such a rift in
the Democratic party, but that
should be considered history.
"The question that confronts us
today is selecting a Democratic
nominee for United States Senator,
a man whom we know is well quali
fied for the office and, as I see it,
Senator Simmons is one of the great
est statesmen that not only North
Carolina, but the entire South has
ever produced. I feel that it would
be very cfetrimental not only to the
Democratic party, but to the progress
of the State as a whole should we
fail to reelect Senator Simmons.
"Furthermore, by his election it
would bring- about solidarity in the
Democratic ranks in North Carolina
such as we had prior to 1928."
Time To Plant
The Early Garden
Down in the coastal plain, the first
of the tender garden crops may be
planted with safety during the per
iod from April 1 to 10; in the pied
mont from April 10 to 25, and in the
mountain area from April 25 to May
10.
"Some of the crops that we can
get ready to plant are snap beans,
early sweet corn, cucumbers,, egg
plant, okra, melons, peppers, squash,
sweet potatoes and tomatoes," says
E. B. Morrow, extension horticultur
ist at State College. "By all means
have plenty of snap 'beans. Good
varieties are Black Mountain, String
less Green Pod,and Bountiful. Among
the lima beans, Henderson's Bush
and Fordfiook ,are good varieties.
Every garden should have some early
sweet corn>, A few of our garden
demonstrators report good yields
from the Early Market, Burpee and
Golden Sunshine varieties. The Coun
try Gentleman and Stowell's Ever
green are two good old reliable var
ieties."
For cucumbers, Mr. Morrow rec
ommends Snow's Pickle and Chicago
Pilckling The White Spine and
Early Fortune are two varieties good
for slicing. Then with the egg plant,
the seed may be started in a protect
ed bed and the plants set in the open
as soon as it is warm enough. Okra
is a favorite in most North Carolina
gardens and may be cultivated like
cotton. The melon patch, is a delight
in this State, says Mr. Morrow, and
he recommends early planting before
the pickle worm gets active with the
cantaloupes. Good cantaloupes var
ieties are Hearts of Gold, Hales Best,
Perfecto and Eden Gem. Good water
melon varieties are Kleckley Sweet
Thurmond Gray and Stone Mountain.
i Set the peppers about the same
time as the tomatoes and give the
same cultivation. The Summer Crook-
I
neck and White Bash varieties of
squash are best for this State. Plants
for the early crop of sweet potatoes
should also be set in April, advises
Mr. Morrow.

THE COUNTY CLUB !

HOME PROGRAM
Attorney Walter Haynes
Speaks to ' Members and
Farmer Guests on Ag
ricultural Problems.
Spindale, Mar. 24.—Speaking to
about sixty members of the Ruther
iord County Club and their farmer
guests Friday afternoon at the Spin
dale House Attorney Walter Haynes,
of Asheville, brought one of the
finest messages to the club ever heard
on the subject of agriculture and
living at home.
"During this panic," said Mr. Hay
nes, "and during any other period
of depression the people go back to
the soil. All industry emanates from
the soil, therefore it is natural that
at such a time the individual should
return. The dairy industry has be
come the nation's biggest industry,
and is now referred to as the "three
billion dollar industry."
| Mr. Haynes appealed to the farm
ters present to raise the best in their
I lines, and to specialize,., "If you are
rearing* only a hound dog, grow a
thoroughbred; don't tolerate scrubs
on your place," he said. The speak
,er outlined methods through which
farm life may be made more attrac
tive, and enumerated -among the
plans a hard surface road to every
farm home, running water and lights
in the, home, modern conveniences
which make the place a more de
sirable place to live. He further urg
ed each farmer to raise his own
meat, a garden and the things need
ed for home consumption.
Mr. Haynes was introduced by
County Agent. F. E. Patton, who
stated that Mr. Haynes was one of
Buncombe county's most progres
sive farmers and dairymen, in addi
tion to his duties at attorney at law.
i O. J. Holler presided, and Clar
ence Griffin acted as secretary in the
absence of S. E. Elmore.
Several of the children of the
Spindale elementary school, with
their teacher, Mrs. W>, R. McDonald,
were present and sung during the
luncheon period. Vivian Rimmer gave
a reading on Rutherford county;
Dorothy Wells sang sweetly a solo
and Margaret Wylie and Helen
Rourke each played a piano solo.
Rutherford County Luncheon.
About sixty plates were served at
the luncheon. Rev. Wim. C. Rourke,
of Ellenboro, asked the blessing.
Miss Laura Howard, county home
demonstration agent and her dem
onstration classes, served, the lun
cheon. Everything served was grown
in Rutherford county. The menu
consisted of creamed potatoes, tur
nip greens, chicken, sugared yams and
fruit salad.
Mr. Charles H. Haynes reported
for the committee appointed to con
fer with Henderson county officials
in regard to the extension of the Sea
board railway to Asheville and re
ported that there was little hope for
such extension at this time, he
thought.
R. E. Price presented Mr. R. D.
Hilderbran, secretary of the state
game and fisheries commission in
western North Carolina. Mr. Hilde
bran spoke briefly about the work of
the hatcheries in western North Car
olina and stated that within a few
weeks fish would be available for
stocking purposes to anyone desir
ing them.
Mr. Walter Haynes was next pre
sented by Mr. Patton, and spoke on
the farm situation.
On motion of Dr. Duncan the
clirb extended to Miss Laura Ho
ward and her class of home econo
mics girls their thanks for the splen
did luncheon served.
