It is t|ie connecting link in the Asheville.,- Franklin -t Atlanta high way, the shortest route, by 32 miles, between these cities, between the .South iiiul the mountains. 2. It is the logical route from an engineering standpoint, since it pass es through the lowest gap in the Blue Ridge, south of Virginia. Kabun Gap, with an altitude of slightly less than 2100 feet?lower than the courthouse at Franklin?is one of the few low passes in the Blue Ridge not "wat>r gaps'*?probably the lowest of this kind in the entire Blue Ridge. No water jMisses through this gap, but the mountains virtually disappear io allow, the highway to pass through the mighty Blue Ridge. Asheville - Franklin - At lanta highway is scenically one of the most beautiful drives in Southern Appalachia. It carries on by the gi gantic Tullulah Gorge, through Rabun Gap and into the North Carolina Mountains, across the Cowecs, thru Balsam Gap, the highest point on the Southern Railway, and into Asheville ?through the very heart of the Sou thern Highlands. 4. At Cornelia, Ga., it becomes a purt of No. 15, which traverses Geor gia, stretching frdni the Florida state line to the North Carolina line, just south of Franklin. 5. In North Carolina it strikes highways which connect with those to be completed into Tennessee and tins to connect this section with the Miss issippi Valley. Thus, the Asheville - Franklin-At lanta highway, traversing one of the most picturesque regions in Eastern America, eventually will not only connect Asheville and Atlanta, but Florida and the "Land of the Sky", and the southeast with the middle west and the Great Lakes country.

THE FOUNDATION LAID FOR -I I I The* bull Baron's (iamhage Oxford, Registration No. 249.'546 is one of the 20 well bred dairy bulls placed in twenty different communities of Jackson county through the efforts of these men shown in picture and others of Jackson county's foreseeing and most progressive citizens. From left to right are: C. W. Tilson, County Agent; John R. Jones of Jackson Hardware Co.; Billy Davis, Cashier of Tuckaseegee Bank; D. M. Hall, Manager Sylva S; pply Co.; and M. D. Cowan, Cashier, Jackson County Brnk. In early May of this year these men as well as lur^iy others had al ready realized the fact that dairying was destined to take the lead in the agricultural development of Jackson county. Like all other successful bus iness they realized the foundation for it must be laid oty bed rock and here is where it was placed. A sur vey made by these men and the state and Inderal fexteusion Dairy Spec ialist showed that we have practical ly one hundred high grade Jersey cows brought into the county dur ing the past 8 months and these with some four hundred other dairy type cows of average crossbred qual ity were scattered throughout the county. The survey showed only 3 registered dairy bulls and the only bulls in the county that would ; sire daughters from these cpws that would produce more milk and butter than their mothers. Around fifty-five scrub bulls that were neither beef nor dairy bulls were found in the county ami these of course will al ways sire calves of lower milk and butter production than their moth ers. With these facts before them and the idea that we must start breeding our cattle right this year and no later if we are to have dairy pro duets for the market and a market for our dairy products the men in this picture in a meeting with others representees from the chamber of commerce started the move which re ceived the cooperation and backing of the business men of Sylva and Dillsboro and the most progressive farmers of the various communities of our county. This move was to place an outstanding purebred Dairy I bull in every community where j dairying is practical and slaughter or castrate the scrub bulls in these communities. The banks, and busi ness firms of Sylva and Dillsboro ac tually donated or took interest to the amount of $410 in the purebred dairy bulls and through this progres sive and generaons spirit 20 out standing registered dairy bulls have gone into 20 of our best communi ties and 35 scrub bulls have gone dur'ng the last eight months. /f These bulls are now on the farins of the following men and in the com QUALLA Qualla Methodist church is almost completed. Every dollar that has been contributed to this church is very much appreciated by its mem bers. We invite our friends to see our new jbuilding and to worship with us. The door was opened Sunday morn ing and the room was soon filled to its utmost capacity. The Baptist and Methodist- S. S.'s united in giving an interesting programme of readings, recitations, songs, and concerts. Much pleasure and interest was added to / ( munities stated: C. R Moody, Sylva, B. 0.

Nicholson, Caney Fork, John Tritt, Fast LaPorte, Jun.e Hooper, Tucka seegee, Frank Holden, Glenvillc and. C. G. Wilson, Glenvillc and Cash-1 icrs. Already the fanners in these com munities have accepted the fact that others have proven in hundreds of e.< jH'riment which show tl.at hciters from cows like we have and bulls like these purebreds will produce 30 to 40 percent more milk and butter than their mothers. And they also realize on the other hand that heif ers from oui cows and scrub bulls like *.ve had will reduce BO to 40 per cent less milk and butter than did their mothers. Consequently the scrub bulls arc going to the butehcr or becoming steers and these \alua blc dairy bulls are being used for breeding. Seeing that our foundation is right the Carolina Creamery of Asheville is now sending its own truck to I)ills bero to get our cream and pay us Chicago standard price for all but tcrfat delivered to Dillsboro. Butter fat is bringing 40 cents per pound this week. Several of the Jersey cows in the county are jmying their own el's ten and twelve dollars per month cash just off of pasture. Lots of our native red cows are bringing their owners n good ercam check every week. Jackson farmers are getting the same price for b'lltcrfat as Macon farmers and the Chicago Standard Market juice we get is all any mar ket pays. A We need more good cows and purebred heifers than we have. A. creamery will be built here when our volume of cream grows a year, but Ave have the market now just the same as if we had the plant already built. the occasion by the splendid singing, both in the morning and afternoon, of the Fast Sylva choir.

This ought to be a red letter day tor all contvmed, and for a number who are not concerned. Sylva takes just pride in schools, -but this is the most important school in the community, because it is the portal to school life and education for the child. In the public school he gets the stait which menus, for him sucpess or failure. It is a mtfmcntous experience for the child, because he is entering a new world. lie is en tering in the plastic state or stage when the moulding is to be dune. 01:, that iKU'cnts and citizens cjuld feel deeply the need and duty of helpful co-operation! The late Dr. J. L. M. Curry was right when he said, "To let a child grow up in ignorance is treason to the State, to humanity, to God." Martin Luther was right when he said "Let it be one of the highest virtues on earth faithfully to educatu the children of others who neglect it themselves." This a matter of so vital impor tance that the parents of the chil dren and the citizens of the town and community should.be willing to eome out on the morning of the opening for a short while, for an informal round table discussion of some things of tremendous importance to the suc cess of the schools and the civic pride of the town. Come and shake hands with us, wish us well, promise to be with us in your prayers and efforts, and make us feel that you are glad we are here. This will help us all, children and teachers, to get a start j with such momentum that nothing can stand before our success. Come learn just where you can place vour shoulder to the wheel and "do your bit," remembering that, to succeed, it. requires the "everlasting team work of eyerv blooming soul." J.
