CO-OPS GET 10c FOR LAMBS
(By C. W. Tilson)
mmmmm
Several Jackson county sheep
growers decided among themselves last
week to tl*? vRgfefog the -first ' JErtfifc
ers to utilize the marketing facilities
of the Jackson County Farmers Mu
tual Exchange. They shipped a co
opcrtive car of lambs to the Balti
more market through the county ex
change. The lambs were graded and
?sold on the market, and the growers
received cash returns on the lamta
according to weight and quality. By
selling on the Baltimore market
which is the largest in the East and
througli their own non-profit county j
exchange these men received an av
erage net price of ten cents peif lb.
home weights. Most Jackson County
lambs brought "8 cents last year,
sold at home and these fanners had
only been offered 7 cents so fai
this year for their Iamba.
This method of culling lambs co
operatively should encourage the
sheep men as it assures them of a
permanent and dependable market
This method has been successful for
years in a large number of counties
in this and joining states.
The Jackson County Farmers^ 'Mu
tual Exchange is an Incorporated
non-stock, non-profit organization per
fccted by the farnieis of .Jackson
county to render marketing services,
for the entire county on all farm
products. Each community in the
county belongs to this exchange and
have elected in community meetings
their representative or director in the
exchange. The marketing" executive
committee of the Jackson County
Farmers Mutual Exchange .elected by
the community leaders present in
their meeting this ?pring are as fol
lows: . .
R. C. Hunter, S. C. Oogdill,- A- J.

MORE MACHINERY
BEING INSTALLED
AT COPPER MINE
Additional machinery was being
moved to the Cullowhee Copper mine
on Monday and Tuesday of this week
by the North Carolina Flux Comp
any, which concern recently leased
the property from he trustees.
The following dispatch from Ral
eigh to the daily papers is interesting
in this connection:
If interest that has recently devel
oped in copper deposits in western -
North Carolina continues and ore
posits prove extensive enough, the
establishment of a copper smeltering
plant, involving expenditure of large
sums- of money, is seen by officials
of the Department of Conservation
and development as a promising pos
sibility.
Four mines within the'" last few
weeks have been reported* to' State
Geologist H. J. Bryson as having been
taken over by firms that plan their
operation. One of the most important
of these is the Cullowhee mine ip
Jackson county which .has rcceifiVljfc^"
been taken over by tho North Caro
lina Flux Company.
' ' If prospecting in the mines taken
over in the last few weeks should
show large ore bodies which would -
last through many years", asserted^
the state geologist, "it deems logical*
to erect a copper smeltering plant i^VL
some central locality, probably neai^f
Sylva or Bryson Cify. This 'yo.uld
save transportation to the nearest ,
smeltering plants in Teupessee on an ?
average of $2.50 to $3.00 per ton".
