I \ #? "Farmers Just Commencing to Get Started in Western North Carolina By James G. K. McClure, President Farmers Federation in Hollow ell's Mountain Farmer The farmers of Western North Car olina are just commencing to get started. Our highways, and our agri cultural teachings arc putting fresli energy into the farmers in the moun tains. The only way that we can win success in agriculture is by having s definite goals at which to aim. We must decide just what crops our section can best grow. Then, we must learn how to produce these drops efficiently and cheaply. |We must next create marketing machin ery to win our way on the markets, and enable us to get the best pos sible prices. The four main lines of endeavor for this section seem to me to be as follows: 1st. POULTRY'. We have a coun try that is ideally adapted to-poultry raising. Summers are cool and win ters are mild, and the range is excel lent. At present our poultry product ion in Western North Carolina is barely enough for our own consump tion. There are seasons of the year when we ship out a few carloads of poultry and eggs, and there are sea sons when we bring in from other states thousands of pounds of poultry and eggs. Our twenty-five counties, it% seems to me, can rsasouably have a poultry export of seventy-five^ mil lion dollars per annum. This can only be done if our farmers keep their courage up when prices slump, as they have this "*spring, and go into the poultry business to win. I We should develop the best strain of fowls. A flock of 200 heus on each farm seems to be the most profitable' size unit. Our main problem along this line will be the raising of feeds for poul try. This should be worked out so that each farmer will raise on his farm practically everything that his poultry needs during the year. 2nd, TIMBER PRODUCTS. Prob ably fifty percent of our farm hold ings in Western North Carolina con sist of woodland. This is a field in which very lttle work has been done but for permanent agricultural pros perity we must make the most out of BUICK for - > 1928 When Buick im l' proves upon Buick ?the standard for the year is set Buick for 1928 introduces a higher standard of beauty and luxury than the world has ever known. Buick interiors are as modish as exquisite drawing-rooms? as harmoniously colored ?and as comfortable. Buick's new Fisher bodies < ) are low-swung without any loss of head-room of road-clearance. And so, down to the small est detail of construction, wherever refinements could be made, Buick has made them. Again Buick has improved upon Buick. Again the standard for the year is sec BUICK MOTOR COMPANY FUNT, MICHIGAN tMrititn ef GtntrsiMttort Cirjltratkm Sedans . . *1195 to *1993 Coupes . . *1195 to*1850 Sport Models *1195 to *1525 AO print art f. 0. i.

This most be done by learning the best marketing methods and perhaps developing wood work ing plants that will put our timber into the sizes and shapes which will bring the highest commercial prices. 3rd, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Here again we have a section ideally adapted to many fruits and vegetables The flavor of our mountain fruits and vegetables is famous, and here again our chief problem is to work out marketing machinery which will enable us to get the best possible prices for these products. Packing plants, canneries and express shi]> ments are the methods by which we must sell our fruits and vegetables. 4th, LIVE STOCK. Today the dairy industry has great promise in West ern North Carolina. It is daily in creasing in volume, and our c untvj agents are doing a particularly good work in improving the production of the dairy cattle by ineans of intro ing pure bred sires. We have large boundaries cf land, in Western North Carolina that can be used as range for beef cattle and sheep and there is room for a per manent grazing industry here. Of late years the quality of our oeef bulls brought into Western North Carolina and the number of sheep has kept dwindling. It now looks as if the beef cattle market and the sheep market were in for a per:-id of good prices, and there is renewed in terest in these two branches of live stock. One of the most hopeful signs on the horizon is the work of the coun ducing pure berd, sires. and ambition for agricultural work in Western North Carolina. i NORTH CAROLINA HUNTING LAW Passed by General Assembly make it unlawful: (To hunt without a license.

WATSON MMMMM* ( - Whereas, on August the 4th, 1927, it pleased the Almighty God to cail to his eternal resting place Brother John M. Watson, therefore be it re solved by the Board of Deacons of the Cullowhee Baptist Church in con ference assembled: First, That we bow in humble rec ognition and obedience to His divine will in this, as in everything, believ ing that "all things work together for good to them that look like the Lord." Second, That in the death of Broth er Watson his devoted family has lost a loving and tender father; To them in their loss we extend our tenderest sympathies and commend them to Christ as the surest source of real comfort in their bereavement. Third, That in the passing of this faithful servant of the Lord, our Chprch has suffered a distinct loss, and the Board of Deacons, of which he was a most loyal member, being for a long time its presiding officer, has been bereft of the wise counsels of a man noted for ripe wisdom and keen judgment. j Fourth, That we recognize the " valuable services of Brother Watson to his county and community. For many years Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, he was ev er faithful to his duty as a citizen, serving in this thankless position with small compensation but always with honesty and efficiency. A man of un usual ]M>ise, possessing the courage of his convictions, he was ever the champion of the poor and unfortu nate class. Fifth, That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the family of the deceased, a copy be spread upon the minutes of the Cullowhee Baptist church, a copy sent to both county papers and to the Biblical Recorder for publication. Respectfully submitted, H. T. Hunter, ' E. H. Still well, M. C. Brown " Elbert Watson J. N. Wilson, S. W. Henson, John E. Hooper, Board of Deacons of Cullowhee Bap tist Church.
