EDNEYVILLE WOMAN TELLS , OF EARLY DAYS IN W, N. C Mrs. Mary Haydock, 80, Des cendant of Pioneer Settler. f Picturesque and interesting in-- deed is Mary Haydock, 80 summers young, and a direct descendant of Jacob Lyda, earliest pioneer settler of Edneyville, who lives in a charg ing little country home three miles north of that village just east of Hendersonville. "Grandfather Jacob," she will tell one in referring to her paten; I grandfather, "was a regular old rod coat. He was sent over here by the government, and then liked the country so well he just settled here. He was buried in his uniform at Sc. Paul's, too."

She was born, lived her girlhood, her married life, and now her tran quil declining years on the estate, handed down from generation to generation since "Grandfather Ja cob's time." She remembers the War Be tween the States and the days when people hid their valuables from the Yankee soldiers. Sherman himself marched up the road past their very home. Both her father and her hus band's father served in the war, the former coming through without a ) scratch, but the latter, or iginally from Pennsylvania but later a resident of South Carolina and therefore enrolled in the Southern I army, was killed in the battle of Chiekamauga. When her father, Isaac Lyda, was dismissed from the army, the nearest railroad was in Green ville, S. C. From there he made the rest of the journey on foot to Edneyville, a distance of 65 to 70 miles. Mrs. Haydock has the story teller's ability of making the past stretch vividly before the listener's eyes. In her clear, unfaltering ac cents, and with that far away look in her wise old eyes, which are still bright and birdlike, she tells of her girlhood on the mountain farm. Dresses wer not to be had except by the work of one's own hands. Ali the wearing apparel was spun and woven in the home. Hats, too, were skillfully plaited out of rye straw and wheat straw. Traveling was done on horseback, , and from the way Mrs. Haydock's eyes twinkled as sh> told of her love for riding one sus pects that there is not much of tho countryside she did not explore as a girl. Another story, not quite as peace ful but every bit as interesting, is that, of her great-grandmother Stepp, who was scalped by the Chickasaw Indians. It happened over near the Swan nanoa river She had sent her son up the river to look after the prop erty, and was waiting for him to re turn. Her youngest child, a baby, was in her arms. Seven big Indians, hidden by a log, leaped upon her. They scalped her but providential ly, she held her breath and outwit ted them. They left her for dead and went on their way. She was taken to the fort to recover. While at the fort recuperating, she was annoyed one day by the gobbling of a wild turkey—or so the inhabitants of the fort told her it was. She would not believe them, and, taking a gun from one of the men, she went to one of the holes, leveled her gun, and fired. The gobbling ceased. She handed the gun back to its owner and laconically remarked, "There's your d big Indian!" Her father, the Isaac Lyda who served in the army, was a black smith and made all the axes, plows, pot-hooks, and tools usei by this community. Many of these old tools are still in the possession of the Haydocks. Characteristic of Mrs. Hay-- dock's life, too, is her own ro mance. James J. Haydock, from South Carolina, was driving thru the country one day. As he pass ed by the Lyda farm he saw Mary Lyda, then a girl of 14, out i n the yard sweeping. He looked at her and she looked at him and that was all that was necessary. It was an authentic case of love at first sight. Five years, or more, they were sweethearts, during I which time Mr. Haydock went j away to school and then to the army. In 1875 he came back and they vwere married. Seven chil dren were born, six sons and one | daughter. I n 1888, Mr. Haydock Jdied. One by one the sons grew up and went away. All of them are living and working, one in North Carolina, one in Idaho, two in South Carolina, one in Massa chusetts, and one in Virginia The daughter, Mollie, married and now she, too, and her little daugh ter, Margaret, are back on the old farm. In that little house in the country, rich in memories for the older woman and dear to the two younger ones as only a home that j has grown with a pioneer family can be, the three women now live.

Hens Fed Well Pay In Summer Because eggs are low in price and the hens are allowed to range over the farm, many North Carolina growers neglect their birds in mid summer and fail to feed them the proper rations. "When the hens are fed a proper ly balanced ration made from home grown feeds, they continue to pay their way even in periods of low egg* prices such as occur generally in the summer in this State," says C. F. Parrish, extension poultryman at State college. "Some growers sell off their hens or let them shift for themselves. This is a bad practice and ruins a source of additional revenue. The successful poultryman gets his greatest profits by feeding for continued egg production thru out the whole year rather than de pending on seasonal production." Parrish says he usually finds some owners of farm flocks giving their birds the range of the farm in summer and giving them little mash feed. This is followed immediately by a decrease in egg production. Con sumption of mash should be encourag ed during this season if the greatest number of eggs are to be obtained It takes about 25 pounds of feed for each hen for the four months of June, July, August and September. Each bird eats about 11 pounds of grain feed and 14 pounds of mash. This will cost about 57 cents. The average of eggs laid during this period according to records kept by North Carolina growers is 63. Valu ing these eggs at the low average I Housewives!

This would indicate, says Mr. Par rish, that feeding the old hens prop erly during the summer is not a dead loss and proves that proper care of the flock will return a prof it at all times.
