If somebody should carelessly or otherwise let lire burn up the aver age dwelling house and bartij < of Jackson county farmers we would say the loss amounted to four or five thousand dollars. Surely we do not often realize the fact that when we carelessly or otherwise allow fire to burn over fifty acres of average woodland the farmer or his children are damaged equally as much as if his house and his barn had burned. Most of us s$y oh! well it's not half as awful to have the fifty ^cres of woods burn as it is to lose the house and bam. But that's just a superstitious idea we have, alnjd as soon as we open our eyes to tho fact that dollars are'dollars whether in barns or houses we will be more willing to stop carelessness with out door fires and stop being contented to see a neighbors woods burn with out joining to fight the forest fire the same as if his house was burn ing. v V Do/you know the fire njot only de stroys practically all young timber but stunts the growing timber three we carelessly or oheriwise allow fire , ^ o WALTER /BROtV N DIES AT OOWARTS Walter, 14 year old son of Mx. and Mrs. John Candler Brown, of Caney Fork, died at his home this morning, following a long illness.

A car of unusually good Jersey cows arrived at Sylva Wednesday.; These cows were bought by farmers from Wittier to Glenville and Bal sam. When the County Board of Ag riculture made out its program last November for this years work in Jackson County's Agricultural de velopment they set on(e hundred good Jersey cattle as a goal to be placed on the farms in this county.! Al ready 84 good Jerseys liave been placed in the county and County Agent Tilson has orders in sight for cows and excellent bulls that will go well over the on,e lmndred head to be brought in this year.

W. Tilsonv County Ajgjent) We have had the privilege of working with many of the farmers of Jackson county during the past eight months. We, have also had splendid cooperation^ from the banks and business men of the county. Through this cooperation of the business men an,d the progressive spirit and ideals of the farmers in their communities 84 head of high producing Jersey cattle have been placed on the farms in, most every section of Jackson county. In this article it is our. purpose to state briefly some very vital facts about tuberculosis or the fundamental health problem connected with the ; dairy cow or family cow. Read these facts and draw your own conclu sion: 1. At this time the most accurate information obtainable shows the majority of tuberculosis contracted by young children comes from drink ing milk of family cows that have tuberculosis. 2.We know that a cow may look healthy and still have tuberculosis. 3. Seventy-six counties in your state have put on county wide tuber culosis tests having all. their inflect ed cattle killed and these cattle are paid for by your state and Federal Government. ? -4; The Jersey cattle placed in Jackson county during the past six months have all bi3cn tested and are free from tuberculosis. 'Should these , good clean healthy cows be placed in with some of your infected oowst 5. Besides the problem of the healthy family cow many of your most progressive men are laying tlie foundation, for a' substantial dairy industry and onjy healthy cows will prove successful. 6. You** beef cattle will be sold more every year for feeder a cattle and the railroad officials will soon be requiring that they be tested un less your county is clean because the law forbids them to *be shipped into clean or accredited counties for feeders. '7. Macon and Transylvania coun ties neighbors to Jackson^ have put on the test and are now soon to be accredited counties. Sixty tuberculo sis cattle mostly in family cows were ?ondemned ia Maeonoounty and BAPTISTS TO MEET AT GREEN'S CREEK The Jackson County Union Meet ing will be held with Green's Creek church on the 5th Sunday in May.
