Returns Per Man Basis Of Profit lialeigh, March 14, It is not th value |>er nor0 that makes farm pros jxirity in North-Carolina but the vain I?er worker. i "North Carolina ranks third in value per acre of crops but .'59th in value of crops produced j?er farm worker," saj s A. T. llol man, agri cultural enginoer at State College, who argues for the use of labor-sav ing machinery and better planning of crops in 1929. "We may reduce our production costs this year by plant ing no wet, undrained land ; by plant ing no poor, barren, washed land am by si ightjy re-arranging our field? to reduce lost time and eliminate the waste land. Further reduction iu cost: may be secured by driving larger teams and working more acres pei man. The time* is fast coming in thi State when we shall be compelled to1 use larger and more economical ma chines and implements. Then we must work enough acres of good) land per man to make the farm an economical production unit." Mr. Holman gives eighi ways in which increased production per farm worker may be accomplished. The first is to supplement the norma! cash crop acreage with a substantial planting of food and feed crops. When ' plowing and harrowing {the land, It wo, four or six horses per J worker should bo used. Fertilized may be distributed with a three-row im plement and the land can be bedded with riding cultivators or listers. Transplanting is jdontf with machines by the best farmers and seed put in with two-row planters. The small plants may first be cultivated with the rotary hoe, spike-tooth harrow or weeder. Then when the plants get larger a one or two row culti vator may be weft. CLAUSE'S STORE BURNS DOWN - \ i * r The merdnntil# t) tablishmcnt of A. F. Clouso was destroyed by a fire of unknown origin, early Saturday morning, entailing a loss of around $8,000, which was only partially cov ered by insurance, according to th^ owners of the building and its con t<ftits. The stock of goods was the projv erty of Mr. Clouse, while the building belonged io V. V. Hooper, and the barber , hop, located in the same building to Hayes Beaslcy. Shortly after midnight, the entire town was aroused by the frantic blowing of the whiatle at the plant of the Sylva Tanning Company, fol lowed by the fire siren. By the time the people were awake, a red glow, indicating a huge fire, was plainly visible, and a great many people were of the opinion that the Tan nery, Extract Plant, or Sylva Paper board Company's plant was afire, and employees ot' the company, and citizens generlally rushed to the scene in large numbers. The volunteer fire department re sponded to the call much quicker than it would, be thought possible, and prevented the blaze from spread ing to nearby buildings, which liko the one that was burned, were frame. Hll 5CH00LT0 HATE JXHIBIT The Syhra High School faculty aud students feel Very fortunate iu offering to the public The Elson Art Exhibit. This exhibit will be open on April s, 4, 5, and 6, in the High School building. The collection, consisting in large part of earbon photographs, photo gravure, and prinfes in full color, made jUrectly from the original masterpieces is selected by art ex perts and should attract large crowds. A small admission will be charged, the entire proceeds of which, after deducting the expense of the exhibit, will be n<ed in the purchase of pic tures for wall decoration. The pun pose of the exhibition is thus clearly two-fold U. T.\ - 1. To ?ive <hc people an oppor tunity to see a collection of the world 's famous masterpieces of painting, Sculpture and architecture. 2. To make it possible for the high school to own a few ofthesc pictures. . MARRIAGE LICENSES Win. Rowe to Lora Conrad, both of Haywood. Joseph Sellers to Glennie Hyde. Harley Coggins to Nellie Wilkes.

QUALLA BOY RAISES TON OF PIGS IN SIX MONTHS Wayne Ferguson 16 year old 4H Club Boy of Qualla township re cently produced a ,ton of pigs in ?> months. These eleven purebred Poland China pigs were all in one litter born July 10, 1928. On Januray 7, 1929, when they were exactly 180 days or six months old, this lit^r of pigs weighed 2,221 pound*,; or an average weight of 202 pounds each. Tis is a record in Jaftkson county for a litter of pigs at pix months of age, according to County Agent C. W. Tilson. ! The pigs were fed by a self feeder, holding 400 pounds of corn, 200 lbs. of shorts and 200 lbs. of fish meal. The sow andi pigf* were allowed to run the self feeder and to eat all they wanted after the pigs were a week old. Then when the pigs were 7 weeks old .the sow was removed to another pasture ?nd , the pigs left on the self feeder. All the water they dm Id drink The addition or use of these meth ods will increase the production per jiatnp worker and thus bring a greater return to him for labor expended, de clares Mc. Holman. / was available to the pigs, and they I,.*.' v- - r - - , I- -r **. had free access to shelter and. to dry teed in their self feeder. During the 6 months these eleven pig?i and the sow for 6 weeks, had th%. following amount of feed: 105 bushels of corn {mostly damaged coin) u~. $105.00 897 pounds of shorts $20.45 600 pounds of F*sh Ileal $27.00 Total coat .?$152.45 The pigs sold for $246.36 Total profit $93.91 The pigs were dressed and sold at 14c per pound with the head and, feet off, which is equal to 11c per pound on the foot. ' This -demonstration on feeding pigs with a self feeder on a balanced rat-' tion carried out by a club boy, under the 'supervision of the county agent, shows farmers that thei'e is a real profit in feeding pigs ;this way, Mr. Tilson thinks, citing the fact that the live hog marke^has average more thai; 11c per pound" for the past 20 years, during March and September.

PRE-SOHOOL CLINIO Children of pre-school age are in vited to come to the Sylva Graded school Friday afternoon, March 15, for physical inspection and enroll ment for next yeaf. Thfere will be arranged a short program of songs, games, and stories in the primary rooms, for their bene fit. Thia will help the child to make a pleasant acquaintance with school and at the same time giro the school j workers an opportunity to begin to NORMAL IES A COLLEGE V . . ? - - ; - , a - -I . ? Cullow&ee State Normal School is no more. We now have, located at Cullowhee, The Western Carolina Teachers' College. A hill to that, effect has passed the senate of North Carolina, and will have passed the honse beford the general assembly adjourns, probably on Saturday. Thus Cullowhee 'State Normal passes, and we have a College with fuH authority to give four year's work, eonfer degrees, and everything. Authorities of the school do not contemplate that it will be possible tor the school to become a college merely by legislative enactment, an 4 ?v understand, that a great many things have to be done in the way of physical equipment, fnd in other ways, to make Cullowhee a standard college. They expect, with thd auth ority granted by the state of ^orth Carolina, to work to that end as rapidly as possible; and believe that within four years all the handicaps of changing a Normal school into a full-fledged college, will have been surmounted. It is evidently the intention of the general assembly to establish at Cul lowhee a college for Western North Carolina, similar, and along the same lines as Eastern Carolina Teacher's College, at Greenville, which is one of the greatest institutions in the state. Cullowhee State Normal has been making rapid strides in development and in the number of students, en rolled, within the past few years, and it is believed that by the end cf the four ye?ar period, in whie)| the transformation from a school to a college is expected to have been j?p?; pleted, that njore than hail a thous and jjie ?> From that jtime on it & cxgpctedi that the growth of Cullowhee, or Western Carolina Teacher's Col lege, will be even more rapid, and that it will become one of the big colleges of the state. NINETEEN CENTS PROFIT FROM TESTED HENS Raleigh, March 13.? The 1,828 hens on which records are being kept by poultrymen cooperating with the of fice of poultry extension at State College paid a net profit of 19 cents per hen above feed costs in January. "At the preset tim^ Jwe nave eleven farms in five counties of North Carolina keeping records of all facts about their poultry busi ness," says P. A. Seese, assistant poultry specialist. "The owners Of these farms are sending us complete details about all eggs laid? feed given, feed costs, eggs sold and profit made. There are an average of 166 hens sold on each of the eleven farms. In January, the average number of eggs was 11.5 per hen with an average price of 40 cents a dozen. The high est price received for eggs by th<? owners of the^e beife in January was 51 cents and the lowest 33 cents a dozen. The average feed cost per bird was 19 cents and the average net profit per bird was 19 cents." Mr. Seese says that while these records cover only a small part of the State, they are from widely sep arated sections and give some idea as to what is going on actually in the poultry industry. Too little gram feed is being given for this season of the year is one fact found in the records, states Mr. Seese. To have birds in shape for heavy spring pro duction, body weight' must ^e in creased during the winter. At the present time, Mr. Seeee says the most common question reaching the poultry office is haw to feed baby chicks. The kind of feed is not nearly so important as the sys tem of feeding, he says. Either a $ood home-mixed feed; tor b. good commercial baby ehick feed will give good! results but, the chicks must not be fed until they are 48 to 66 hours old. Milk is excellent. A little time teaching the chiekB to eat and drink is well worth while because incubator chicks die before they learn. Feed f re die before they ever learn. Feed fre quently and sparingly during first two weeks. know the child. Mothers are urged to bring the children and help mafa) thf qccuk* profitable for school ^0^
