When the middle aged man of to day was in his early teens most every farm of any size had one or two acres .some where near the farmstead en closed with a high rail fence, Within this enclosure was safeguarded and cultivated with pride the Home Orchard. The good farmers took special pride in arranging their or chard, keeping it clean, and having the varieties of apples, peaches, and grapes that would furnish the family a supply of fruit the year round and some to spare for every visiting neighbor. The homo orchard was not only a hixury but one of the main food sup plies that enabled our fathers and mothers to make a more independent living on the farm than we am making today. A one acre home or chard, will pay well on the farm by cutting down the grocery bill and ad ding to the health of every member in the family. County Farm Agent C. W. Til sou is very anxious to help at least ten farmers in various communities of the couuty plan and set out home orchards. In developing these ten home orchards the farm agent will help the owner to demonstrate the best orchard management to th? farm ers of that community. a CLUB HOUSE DES TROYED BY FIRE Marion, N. C.?Loss of approx imately $25,000 was sustained lato last Monday night when the Marion Lake club house, handsome, two-story structure, burned to the ground. No one wfls about the building at the time, it was stated, and when it was reached there was no hope of saving either the club house or the contents. The keeper, whose home is some distance from the place, found the structure a mass of flames when he arrived, and news of the fire did ( 4 not reach many of the club members until the next day. I^lans will b^qade quickly for re building ifl"ttmPtSr the busy summer season, it was stated by interested parties. Insurance is said to amount to $15,000. The club house, built over the laku belonging to the club, was a two story frame structure, containing si* large bed rooms, lobby, kitchen and dining room. Included in the destroy ed property were fourteen beds, a piano, kitchen, and dining 'room and lounge room, furniture and other fixtures. The clubhouse was the gathering place of Marion society life, and bed been the sccnc of many elaborate en tertainments. The property was own ed by about fifty Marion stockholders The blaze is thought to have start ed from the funAce, in which a small fire had been lew burning. "NO EXTENSION FOR FIL ING INFORMATION RETURNS" ? Heretofore taxpayers bave beeri urged to file their income tax returns early. The filing of returns this ye:./ is delayed, pending the enactment oi" the new revenue act now before the Senate, which ,as it passed the House, contains changes in regard to rates and other features. However, thero is nothing to prevent a taxpayer at this time from closing his books and computing his net income. Such com putations will not be affected by any provision of the new act. The ac tual preparation of the return itself, after the computation, requires, in a majority of cases, but a few min utes. Therefore, it is advised that all figures and data be assembled, land ing receipt of blanks by taxpayers. When released, blanks will be sent to taxpayers"and also may be obtain ed at the offiee of the U. S. Collector at Raleigh, N. C. | Forms 1099 and 1-096 used for mak ing information returns; also partner | Ship return#, Form 1095, aro now available at the office of the U. S. Collector of Interual Revenue a;:ra??fi ^ofiees.
