'? i HOLLOWEL STARTS Hollowells Mountain Farmer, a new farm journal which announces that it will limit its main activities to the various phases of agriculture in Western North Carolina, makes its appearance as a monthly publi cation filled with the news of the most successful farm practices and the agricultural opportunities in Western North Carolina. The publication has the endorse ment and cooperation of the agricul tural promotion and extension forces in this section and the first number contains contributions from such authorities as John trict agent; H. R. W. Goodman, dis Niswonger, dist rict horticulturist; Mrs. Sarah Porter Ellis, district homo agent; O. B. Jones, Henderson James G. K. McClure, president o t' the Farmers Federal;ion of Buncombe, Henderson and Rutherford counties; John Ewbank,' seen tary to the Hen derson County Road Commission. Scv eral other items of interest bearing on rural life in this section are includ ed. county agent; The ne wfarm journal is published ! at Hendersonville by Noah Hollowell, who recently sold his paper, the Hen dersonville News, which he published for several years, to the Hcndersou ville Times. Mr. Hollowell was a farm er before entering the newspaper bus iness and his sympathies for the farmer were evidenced in his news paper. Mr. Hollowell is hopeful of suc cess because of the unique field his journal occupies, a vast territory which can claim no farm paper as its own, a home publication devoted ex clusively to the development of rural life in Western Carolina, where agri cultural advancement is making won derful progress but needs a medium for its own publicity, says the far.a journal editor. )UNTY JACKSON COUNTY FARMERS TOUR OBSERVATIONS sheep and werej i have been kept told us the sheep By C. W. Tilson ' . Some of the things Jackson Coun ty's 35 farmers found in Southwest Virginia and Eastern Tennessee will be worth while for most all of our farmers to practice. In Virginia we found approximately 75 percent "f the land, hills mountains and all in grass for hay, corn or good grass pas ture. We found the farmers all busy mowing, sprouting and cleaning up their pastures. They told us th-w worked just as hard through July ami August on their pasture to keep them clean and good grass growing as thav worked on the corn crop in May and June. They say we have to work our pastures the same as any other crop to have good pasture. We saw hun dreds of steers and on farms where bot for years. Everybody paid them best always and was more dependable cash crop than cattle, j These men grew early lambs and their lambs sold the first of June for 14 and 14 1-2 cents iper pound at the local scales. We found the cattle and sheep mud fat and in grass to their knees. Every farmer making the tour decid ed it ^takes good graffs and lots of it to grow good livestock. In East Tennessee we found the farmers feeding lots of hogs with corn and tankage or fish meal. They were making money and told us they absolutely would not grow one hog for home meat or market now unless they could buy fish meal or tankage to feed with their corn. They say the 100 gains lm hogs with corn and flsn meal is only approximately half the cost of 100 lb. gains when corn alone is fed. We found the dajry cow and hen along with the hogs in East Tennes see. And the farmers told us they were averaging making over $200 per 100 hens clear of feed cost. The dairy cow has been paying them $75 mm TAX RATE RAISED TO $1.75 The general county tax rate will be raised from $1.70 on the $100 valua tion of property, last year's tax rate, to $1.75 for this year, according to information from the office of the commissioners of the county. ' This does not include the special school or special road taxes in thd different local tax districts of the county. The rate is made up as follows: General School 74o General County 15o General Road _ 03o General Health 03o Special Purpose 05c Indebtedness 75c Total f _ $1.75 CULLOWHEE INVITES CITIZENS TO HEAR DANIELS Cullowhe,e August 23?The citizens of the county are invited to attend the August commencement exercises at the Cullowhee State Normal School on next Tuesday morning at 12:00 and in the evening at 8:00.

TO CELEBRATE 14 TEAR The local camp Woodmen of the ,World will celebrate the 14th anni versary of its organization on Aug ust 29. Dr. Ashley Chappell, pastor of Central Methodist church, Ashi ville, will be the principal speaker. Starting with a small membership, 14 years ago, the oamp has steadily grown until it now has more than one hundred members, it is said. The East Sylva Male Quartet will render a number of selections. The celebration will be held, in th<; auditorium of the Sylva Graded School, and the public is invited to attend the exercises. to $125 per oow above her feed when good cows are kept and cream is sold. They impressed the fact on us that the oow with cream selling and feed ing skim milk to pigs and chickens was a safer and more profitable cash crop system than to keep cows and sell whole milk. Record for the past five years at the N. C. State Test Farm and Tenn. State Test Farm told us this on our visit to them. We found Tennessee pushing their cow, sow and hen program of farm ing more than ever for it will always pay they say. We saw fields growing 3 times tli3 grain and legume hay they did six years ago according to the owners, two and three tons of lime applied per acre was the main reason for this. We found Tennessee farmers art? fast turning to sweet clover for pas- j ture and for hay and qping lime on all their land. They told us cow pens and soy beans particularly were the best hay to grow for feed and for building up land. We found them using Tenn. Beard less Barley for winter pasture and for feed instead of rye. There are worlds more we could tell about but will have to stop bv saying that we allacame back homo determined to do our best and got our farmers to do all they can to get 1 ten times the good grass growing that we 'now have and our county stocked up with high quality cowsr sows, hens, sheep and beef cattle an?l} grow the best and grow the pastors* and feed to keep than.' f l'. !
