OLD FORT LAUDS FIRST SETTLERS Large Arrowhead Marker Un veiled Before Crowd; In dians Smoke Peace Pipe. Old Fort, July 28. —Commemorating the days of the pioneers, and mark ing the spot where pnce stood an olc Indian fort, a gigantic Indian arrow head, said to be the largest in the world, was unveiled Sunday after, coon in almost the center of the town of Old Fort, where oiore than 5,000 people from this and other states had congregated to take part in the celebration. Before the unveiling, eminent men from various walks of life ad dressed the assembled throng and paid tribute and respect to the spir it of the pioneers who first ven tured into the mountain fastnesses and thus started the onward march of civilization westward. Indians Smoke Pipe. Twenty Indians, representing the tribes of Catawba, of South Caro lina, and Cherokee of western North Carolina, wepe seated on the speakers rostrum. All but Chief Carl Standing Deer of the Chero kees were accountered in the clothes of the white man. The old chief donned his war bonnet for the oc casion. Each of-the speakers had a good word for the Indians and turned to them frequently during their addresses. Little Martha Nesbitt, six-year old great-great-grand daughter of Mrs. Martha Burgin, the only white person that was born in the fort, pulled the cord that caused the veil to drop. Talkies Recorded. A sound news reel company sent a camera and equipment from At lanta, Ga., to record the unveiling When]^od Sours tote, of folks who think they have have only an acid condition jtrhich could be corrected in five or ten Xninutes.

This territory was 2 then embraced in Rutherford county. i r Common Toad Is Enemy Of Insects' A healthy supply of toads about ' a place is an insurance policy a ' gainst heavy insect infestation as a bout 90 percent of the toads food consists of insects. "The common toad is generally] recognized as and important enemy of insect pests," says Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, head of the department of entomology at State college. "Those who have studied the habits of the toad have come to the conclusion that insects make up about 90 per cent of its food and the number - eaten at a single meal is almost be yond belief. While the toad eaus nearly any kind of insect which comes its way, it especially destroys large ; numbers of cut worms which are active early in the morning and late in the evening, the principal feeding time of the animal." Dr. Metcalf suggests that toads could be readily increased about any garden by building permanent pools with water plants in which the toads could breed. Eggs laid in long strings i hatch into tadpoles which live in | permanent pools. If loose boards are j laid about such a pool, especially un- | der the shrubbery where the toads j might find a safe retreat during thi j heat of day, the number of toads j would be materially increased. The chief enemies of toads are j [siakes and herons while fish ardjl \ducks prey vpon the tadpoles. How- I lever, it is a constant warfare for I existence in he animal world. Some- I t ; nies the enemies of the toad gets J the upper hand and the number of J toads decfepses. At other times, I these enemies are lessened and the toad population increases rapidly. t Dr. Metcalf says he fed 177 May Beetles to a toad in his yard in Ral eigh in five nights. If each of these 88 pairs of beetles laid 100 eggs, j this one toad prevented the develop ment of 8,800 white grubs in his I lawn that summer., Quality And Selling Governs Hog Profits With cold storage holdings of pork more than 63 million pounds less than they were one year ago and with the price of live hogs $2.73 [lower than it was last year at this [time, what is the farmer going do, asks W. W. Shay, swine ex tension specialist at State college. "The price he receives for good hogs is something that the farmer cannot control, but he can control the quality of pork he produces and also the time or date of selling," says Mr. Shay. "These two factors affect to a large extent the price he receives and to a much greater ex tent the net rturns which shotas the profit or loss from this farming ac tivity." - According to Mr. Shay the aver age market price of live hogs dur ing the week ending July 19th was $2.73 less than the price during the same period last year. Mr, Shay states that prices for [hogs have shown the highest aver-j age during September with August ! following a close second over a five] year period but that only twelve per- j cent of the market hogs produced • in North Carolina are sold during that time. During these months a 200 pound hard hog will bring as much as a 300 pound oily hog will in De cember. In spite of this many spring pigs are now loafing in woods lots itnd pastures with little other feed, he says. Another factor that the farmer can control is that of feed, says Mr. ! | Shay. Where there is not sufficient! feed on any farm shows a lack of! foresight on the part of the farmer! except in cases of crop failures. In J many cases feed crops were planted but the yield was reduced through weather conditions or from insects.! Under these circumstances Mr. Shay; recommends that the herd be reduc-1 ed so that the remaining hogs will' be full fed. , THE FOREST CITY COURIER. THURSDAY, JULY 31,1930. Garren Gives Hints On Raising Wheat j Five points in wheat raising are j given by G. M.i Garren, cereal agron- I omist for the North Carolina Exper • iment Station as follows: A stiff, red clay soil; a red clover sod; land turned the latter part of August; [seed drilled about October 20; crop, j fertilized with acid phosphate at. 'planting, and, an average yield uf j 40 bushels an acre. These five things were a:i done by S. W. McCachern of .Linwood in! Davidson County who is recognizfi generally in his community as a good wheat grower, says Mr. Garren. Mr. McCachern grew an average of, 26.8 bushels on one 30-acre field.; jHe then made 410 bushels on an-, [other ten acre field which had re-i Iceived the special attention as sug gested by Mr. Garren. I One this ten acres, the soil was a stiff red seems to be be*t i. adapted to wheat growing in this State. A clover sod was turned as;, the initial preparation. This, says : Mr. Garren, saved the expense of a . high priced commercial nitrogen' fertilizer. The sod was turned the latter part of August. All the data. secured by the North Carolina Ex-, periment Station confirm the desir ability of turning land early for i wheat. During the latter part of Oc-j tober, the land was disked and liar-' F OWNED STORES I DUKE'S COMO LILY HOME MADE M GOLDEN CROWN . M - PLAIN Mayonnaise, 8-oz OQ B H CI AIID 24-lb.
