Mr. Smith's statement follows:
Citizens and tax payers of Jack-!
tive, hut since I received the nom
ination for the office of representa
tive, but sinec I have reived the nojitt
iuation and election, 1 foci deeply .
grateful to citiseus of my county
for the houor, and I am now saving'
- to the broad minded citizens and,
tax payers irrcajKHitive of your jk>1- ;
itical affiliations, to please cboperatcj
with mo, and, Assuring you that I !
will appreciate your counsel per-!
taining to any thing for the better
ment of our county and state gov
ernment.
I am selling out M}' mercantile
business, so I will not be handicapped
with business, and that I may give, j
v my full tifu*o to my public duties. <
There is some important legislation j
as I see It, to wit: the burden -ftfj
taxation on esjjecially ^rr^att farineis. (
Our school taxes are too. high ws
compared with other counties. Our J
election law should lie changed so j
as to insure honest and fair election-', j
, There might be same changes iu our I
county government whereby we can j
make a saving. There might be an ;
improvement made iu car and truck
license law, which would benefit us.
Our dheep growing fai'mers demand
protection from shecj>-killing doj<s.
We want as great benetit to our
county Highway No. 106 completed
?V by state. We want as one of our
, best assets Cullowhee State Normal
School to continue to progress. Again
assuring you that I will appreciate
your cooi>erntion as yonr representa
tive.
Respectfully, i

rREEN FEUD NEEDED
FOR WINTER EGOS
. lYJeipli, N. C., :)op. 21. ? Green
cod added to tlie laying lien's ra
jii in winter lias in -leased egg pre
diction and has pi oven profitable
wherever nsed.
"When the green feed pasture is
exhausted with the .oming of frosi
and cold weather, it i ; then necessary
for the poultryman to provide such
feed," recommfcnds (.'. F. Parrish,
|N>ultry extension sp< cialist at State
College. "There is a wide variety of
feeds that may be used to avoid
monotony. IJape, alfalfa, oats, clo- 1
ver, wlieat, rye, barley, mangels and
other feeds may be used. Sprouted
oats are also used effectively by
some growers. The oats ai'Q led when
the sprout is about tiiree inches long
and make an excellent succulent to
supplement the scratch grain and
mash. ' '
Mr. Parrish says that it is not
difficult to build a home-made oac
sprouter. All that is needed is a
number of trays with holes punched
in the bottom to allow excess water
10 escape. The seed oats are spread
thinly over the trays to prevent the
formation of mold growths. Sprouted
oats secured in this :i|einner are fed
at the rate of ? from one to two
ounces ]>er day per hen. A good pro
ducing hen will consume from 25
to .'50 pounds of this feed in a win
ter.
Hanging cabbage about 18 inches
from (lie floor will : fford the lay
ing hen needed exercise and will give
her the sufficient gre.*ii feed needed.
Beets may be used ti e same way.
When it is. impossible to supply
green feed, co<l-livcr oil may be
mixed with I lie mash or grain ration
to supply the same food elements.
Tn mixing this oil wil l the feed, Mr. |
i'lirrish su^ests that t .small amount J
of the feed be taken and the cod
liver oil worked in thoroughly and
this used as a stork mixture with
the remaining food. <:nc pint of the
011 to each 100 )>ouiids of feed is
cnontrb to use.
