SECTION TWO— KIWANIANS DINE AT CHIMNEY ROCK Rutherfordton and Henderson ville Clubs Hold Get-To gether Meeting Thurs day Evening. Kiwanians of Rutherfordton and Hendersonville became cliff-dwellers for a while Thursday evening when I hey met at dinner in the cafeteria beneath Chimney Rock. Admission to the resort was through the court esy of Dr. L. B. Morse, owner. W. ]Vf. Sherard of Henderson ville and G. A. Williams of Ruther fordton, chairman of the intercity committees of the two clubs, had charge of the program, after Presi dents J. Allen Rhodes of Hender sonville and Clyde A. Erwin of Ruth erfordton had expressed pleasure at the opportunity which brought the two groups together. About 75 per sons, including several ladies, attend ed. The Asheville club sent a dele gation of six, including John Pfei fer, district chairman of inter-city relations. The' program included humorous readings by Mrs. Williams of Ruth erfordton and an address by the Rev. Arthur Jackson of Hender sonville on the aims of Kiwanis and the accomplishments of the Hendersonville club in particular. He urged every club to tie to a program that will call out the best in every member. Informal talks were made by Ross Hill, of Ruth erfordton, who invited Henderson county people to participate in the Rutherford county fair, and Mr. Pfiefer, who extended a similar invitation to attend a Kiwanis- Rotarv baseball game in Asheville next Friday night. Mrs. Cecil Rhodes of Hendersonville had been scheduled to sing, with Miss Mary Brooks as accompanist, but this feature of the. program had to be emitted when it was learned no piano was available. Fall Freshened Cows Pay Biggest Profit Again the creameries of North Car olina face their regular annual fall shortage of cream and are forced to buy butter from various sources to supply their trade while the creain t-educing farmers of the State are losing potential profits by not having cream to sell. "This is a condition we face each fall," says John A. Arey, dairy ex tension specialist at State college. "There is always a heavy decline in the quantitv of cream produced in this state for buttermaking in the fall and winter. The reason for it is that too many of our best dairy men breed their cows to freshen in the spring instead of in the fall. The cow which freshens in the spring produces her largest amount of fat when the butter market is lowest. In June, butter often sells from 10 to 15 cents a pound less than in December." Mr. Arey suggests therefore that cows be bred so as to freshen in the fall. Through the records of cow testing associations, he has- learned that when this is done there is less seasonal variation in the milk flow and that the cows will produce more butterfat through a twelve months period than those which freshen in the spring. Cows which freslien in the fall, he says, will go .through tiie winter producing well on dry feed and when turned on pasture in the spring will increase their milk flow. The reverse is true of those cows freshening in the spring. Such cows milk well in j kAsfi ■ - V—i Rf 2 ZB&ilili-; I '•- ?*± if: yf* >• * : >?

I can recommend Cardui to others, for my health was so much better after I had taken a course of the Cardui Home Treatment."

Fall calves are j easier to raise because they are not annoyed by flies and are not so subi ject. to scours so prevalent during the hot summer months. tiKOOM YOUR DOGS_ Lovers of the grand old sport of fox hunting will be delighted to hear | of the Bench Show that is to be held at the. Cleveland County Fair. This |is hearalded to be the best Bench Show in the annals of fox hunting history in the old North State. Jim ! Kanatgur, the well known breeder lof fox hounds will leave his Ken tucky home to judge this show. Kanatgur has the reputation of be ing one of the fairest and finest judges of fox hounds in America. A full list of prizes will be announc ed later. f I • I MR. AVERAGE FARMER BROADCASTS. | STATION YFBL—YOURS FOR ; BETTER LIVESTOCK. Mr. Av erage Farmer at the mike. : I've been hearing lots of talk lately about the value of wheat ;as a feed for livestock. I have : tried it and find that it is just ' as easy to feed as corn, and makes j just as good a feed. I always grind it, rather coarsely, and feed it in about the same proportions and in about the same mixtures as corn, i It works out better for hogs than any other farm animal. One year I led my hogs coarsely ground wheat |in one side of a self feeder and a i mixture of equal amounts of tank age and linseed meal in the other side. They gained as rapidly as they usually do on corn, and were in just as fine condition when they were ready for market. If you have a good supply of oats or, hand it might be advisable to feed some of them to your hogs, though they are better as a horse or cow feed. A mixture of equal parts of ground corn, ground oats, and mid , dJings in one side of a self feeder and equal parts of linseed meal and : tankage in the other side makes a pretty good ration, and not such an expensive one. | When feeding a ration like eith er of those given above the feeder does not need to worry about wheth er the mixture is well balanced, for I the hogs, unlike other farm animals, balance their own rations when they have all the necessary ingredients.' Some of the experiment stations have experience with wheat and oats as feed. They say that wheat is worth | from 10 to 20 per cent more than j corn, and that oats is worth about j 20 per cent less than corn, as an all i around feed. 1 STATION YFBL—YOURS FOR i BETTER LIVESTOCK—Signing off.

Preparation Pays Large Dividends Thousands of dollars are lost each year by cotton farmers in North Carolina through improper handling of the staple from time it is harvest, ed until ready for market. "It is not unusual to find bales of cotton that have been damaged from ten to fifteen dollars through poor handling and this is an extre mely high price to pay for a short period of neglect especially when most of it could have been avoided, says Dr. R. Y. Winters, director ot the experimental work in agriculture at State college. • Too much moisture in seed cot ton, mixed grades and staples in the same bale, and poor ginning are the three principal causes of this dam age, he says. The moisture content can easily be determined by the grower and proper measures taken to combat this condition. One sure test is to reach down into the pile of cotton and take a handful of seed cotton and squeeze it tightly. When the hand is opened if the cotton remains in a tight wad it is too wet to gin and should be spread out in thin lay ers to dry. If possible it should be placed in the sun as the sun will not only dry it faster but will also improve the color. The last two causes can be con trolled in the ginning operation and Dr. Winters recommends that the growers cooperate with their local ginners in setting aside a special day for ginning the improved strain or the cotton with an extra staple In this way the ginner can clean up and make the necessary adjust ments for handling this cotton. With the delivery of reasonably dry seed cotton and the proper ad justments on the gin rolls thousands ot dollars can be added to the re ceipts from the cotton crop this year, says Dr. Winters. Full Feed Necessary For Egg Production The difference between proper and improper feeding and handling of the growing pullets during the hot | summer months is always reflected in the egg production during the iall and winter months when egg prices are high. "It is a serious mistake to neg lect the" pullets at this time of the year as the way they are fed and handled from eight weeks of age to maturity will largely determine the poultry pic fits during the com ing year" says C. F. Parrish, ex tension poultry specialist at State College . "It is a common practice of many poultry men to turn the pul lets out and let them rustle for the major part of their feed with the result that the bird is weak and under weight when they go into lay. This means about fifty percent pro duction for two months and then tney go into a molt." Mr. Parrish states that for best results and the largest profits the pullets should be fed for continued egg production. They should go into lay in a healthy condition and be free from internal and external parasites. The pullets should have growing mash before them all the time and be fed a grain ration twice a day with green food available at all times. When the pullets are nearing the laying period, a scratch feed should be fed freely in order to get them in good flesh. A few pullets will nat urally go into lay on the growing mash but it is best to continue this mash until all pullets are fully de veloped, when the laying mash may be substituted. This substitution is best made by a gradual mixing of the laying mash j with the growing mixture, being; careful, however, that the birds do j not lose flesh, says Mr. Parrish.
