STOCKHOLDERS OF WILKES CREAMERY Report of Wilkes Co-Operative Creamery Snowed a Substantial Gain. The stockholders of the Wilkes Co-Operative Creamery met at the court house last Monday in regular annual meeting. The re port of the manager showed that substantial gains had been made during the past year and that a better day was dawning for the creamery in every respect. The following directors were elected: H. II. Jenning, Bruce Billings, J. M. German, R. B. Pharr, W. T. Kilby and T. J. McNeill. After the adjournment of the stockholders the directors met and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: II. II. Jen nings, presidont; J. M. German, vice-president; R. B. Pharr, sec. & treas.; W. F. Miller, manager. A six per cent, dividend was de clared on all stock. The following is taken from the Charlotte Observer written by R. E. McDowell that is of interest; The humble and obscure posi tion which she necessarily occu pies on the isolated farms and meadows of the world hides from the eyes of men the great role the dairy cow has played and still plays in the progress of civiliza tion. Starting with neolilliic man in the dim vistas of the far distant past she has been man's friend and companion adown all the ages From tne dawn of history she has been associated with the con quering and dominant peoples; she is the most ancient, the most universal, the most useful (.f all animals. The 26,000,000 million dairy' cows in the United States last year produced 100,000,000,000 pounds of milk, the farm value of which was $2,580,000,000, which is greater than all the gold and silver produced in the United States for the past 20 years. Placed in eight-gallon cans set side by side this amount of milk would girdle the earth 16 times. This allowed 55 gallons per capita fcr all Uncle Sam's population. The average production per cow for the entire nation was 4,300 pounds in 1924. The federal de partment of agriculture also re ports the farm person uses 1.2 pints of milk per day, while the city person used .95 pint to be exact.

"As Blood is Lite of the Fle$h;Ooctrine Is Life of Religion." My dear Mr. Editor: As I heard no complaint against my orthodoxy I will offer some thoughts on doctrine. As blood is the life of the flesh, so doctrine is the life of religion. All the doctrines of the Bible point to one teacher; and the teacher said learn of me. Again, the doctrine of the Bible was written for our learning. So while the world is wrecking with false doctrine, let us, like Noah and Daniel and the Hebrew children, hold to the true doctrine. The king of Babylon was put to shame with all his noise and false religion when the Hebrew boys went into the flames; when Paul was preaching at Ephesus and all Asia and the world wor shipping Dianna. He got their bad looks burned, tho' the price was fifty thoussnd pieces of silver, yet they tried to drawn out the preacher when all with one voice for two hours cried out, great is Diana of the Ephesians? Sim on bewitched the people of Sama ria, giving out that himself was some great one; to whom they all gave heed, saying, This man is the great power of God. Yet Phillip and Peter preached till Simon was about to perish with his money, and be left in the ga 1 of bitterness. So, people make great noise about sanetification. Herod made a great noiso alter lie kiiieuJames and imprisoned Peter, and the people gave a shout and said. It is tne voice ot a god and not ot a man, but the angel of the Lord smote him because his oration did not glorify God, then (he worms bit him till he died, Acts 12;23 Therefore let no man glory in nun. Con:-.lantine, Crannier, Luther, Wesley, and Mullins, all lave statements of faith called creeds, but if the people had noth ing but these creeds their faith would stand in the wisdom of mcfi, and not in the power of God, thus their religion would become a gew gaw religion; like Cain we' would offer the Lord what he would not accept, or like Esaw seeking repentance too late over his lost birth right. The Bible tells three ways to be sanctified. First by our own fil thy righteousness. Isaih 65: 5 and 66:17. Second, by the blood of bulls and goats and the Ashes of an heifer. Hebrew 9, 13. Third, the new Covenant gives sancti fication by the will of God. Heb. 10, 10. And their sins will I re member no more, saith the Lord. For by one offering he hath per fected forever them that are sanc tified. Heb. 10:14. So to be saved by the will of God means to come to one body, one spirit, one hope, one faith, one baptism, one God, one Fath er of all. Eph. 4, 45, 6, till we all come in the unity of the faith. That we be no more children toss ed to and fro by every wind of doctrine whereby men lie in wait to deceive. Grace from the Great High Priest to all the lovers of Bible doctrine. A. T. Pardue. OOtlit If i- . I' t WILKES HATCHERY RECEIVES ONE ORDER FCR 24,000 SheriffMitchell,of the southeast portion of the county, has order ed 24,000 young chicks from the Wilkes Hatchery for next spring's raising. He expects to use brooders and expects to take his sons into 1 ho enterprise with him. This is the largest order for chicks that Mr. J. C. Henry has yet received from any one individual's order and bids to become a poultry yard of immense size during this year. FRUIT GROWERS SCHOOL 19TH, 20TH On Last Day of School, Jan. 20th, Ladies to Be Given Instruction in Domestic Science or Some Phase of Home Life. A survey of the apple industry of Western N. C. would show that within the last ten years there has been considerable new plantings of apple orchards with standard varieties and confined largely in two distinct regions known by the State Crop Report ing Service as the Western Moun tain and Northern Mountain Areas. Within this ten year per iod, spraying was introduced with many power outfits added to the orchard equipment and during the Inst throe years of this period more attention has been given to better methods of control of orchard pests in the old bearing orchards, followed bv an increase volume of high quality and condi tioned fruit put on the markets. At the present1 time many of these young orchards are return ing a profitable yield of fruit, while others are not, due to the fact that the orcaihists have made a hobby of pruning and neglected other phases of orchard management to the point where the trees have become dwarfed and fruitingjporiod delayed. How ever, at the present time some real progress is being made in the auoption ot a inure practical method of pruning with emphasis placed on fertilisation" and soil improvement. There is another change, a very important one, which js going to have a marked influence in the future development of mir agri cultural resources of which the fruit industry is a part. This change is being brought about by advertisement and development I of Western Noil h Carolina as a playground, followed by what some folks term, real estate boom already exhisfing in the western mountain area. This has had a tendency to increase land values to the point where the develop ment of such an industry as ap ple growing seems out of the question at the present. This naturally causes the orchard interests to look elsewhere for cheap lasd and where some attention has been given to the production of mar ketable apples. Counties in the nor thern mountain area, such as Ashe, Alleghany, Surry, Wilkes, Wautauga, Avery, Caldwell and parts of Alexan der, are not apt to increase its land values for the present and affords a splendid opportunity for the promo tion of this industry confining the apple to the higher mountain areas and the peach to the foot hills. In these counties there already exists some large commercial apple and peach orchards, which are bringing in substantial returns by marketing the fruit in the markets of the South thru tho net work of railroads and highways. In view of these existing condi tions and the advisability of promot ing further plantings of orchards, the State Department of Horticulture and the State Division of Agriculture Ex tension in co-operation with the Wilke8 County Fruit Growers' As sociation, have arranged for a two day's fruit growers school for the benefit of the orchard interests in Northern mountain area to be held at North Wilkesboro January 19th, and 20th. North Wilkesboro was selected as a central' point for holding this school since it is accessable to all the surrounding counties by railroads aud highways. In order to success fully put on a school it is necessary to have an organization to take care of the local arrangements. Wilkes County has such an organization I known as the Wilkes County Fruit I Growers Association which hag been of real service in co-operating with , the State Department of Horticulture j in carrying out its program of bet ter orcharding. The purpose of this school is to bring fruit growers of this section ; the most practical aiul most recent U. D. C. Annoonce Their Prize List. (Continued from last week.) Fayetteville, Dec. 19. The his torical prize list of the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy for 1925-26 was made public here to day by Mrs. John II. Anderson, of this city, State historian. All essays, papers and reports sub mitted in competition for these prizes must be in the hands of the division historian by Septem ber 15, 1925, but it is desired that they be sent in as early as possible. The list consists of thirty-three prizes, one district prize for the best historical report by anyState district -and thirty-two division prizes. Six prizes are offered this year for poems, "to stimulate the liter ary culture of this State," three of them must have subjects per taining to North Carolina or the South; the others are unlimited as to subject Five prizes are offered to stud ents of North Carolina colleges. One of these, a prize of fifty dol lars in gold, is offeccd by Govern or McLean. The prize list follows: 17.

(Continued on page four.) information regarding orchard prae (ises in order to increase the volume of marketable fruit, also to create a spirit of mutual interest and co-oper ation among the orchard folks. Subjects as pruning, spraying me thods, soil management, peach culture, and preparation of the fruit for the market will be the nature of orchard subjects presented by ex perts from the State Department of Horticulture. l)urint the second day of the schoo' but apart from the classes in fruit growing, the women will be offered an opportunity of attending classes in Domestic Science or some phase of home life, presented by teachers from the State Home Demonstration Department of Raleigh. It is also pianueu to have the Wes tern North Carolina Fruit Grower's Society, an organization recently per fected for the promotion of the fruit industry, to hold it's annual meet ing in connection with the school. It is hoped that Orchard interests will take advantage of this opportu j nity offered by the State College of i Agriculture in bringing to them, without cost, information and in structions regarding the most prac tical and scientific methods of or chard culture. POULTRY BUSINESS GROWING IN WILKES J. C. Henry Clears $106.75 in One Year On a Flock of Thirty-five Hens Many Others Making Good, Wilkes County is doubly indebted to Mr. J. C. Henry, formerly a mer chant in North Wilkesboro, for his generous contribution to practical poultry raising, as reflected in the following: For many years he was interested in the raising of poultry. Taking up first the farmer's side, he selected 35 of the best hens, and housing them in a 12 foot square inodern lay ing house, began keeping books. This was in 1922. He began feeding the mash and scratch grain as directly, and in a few weeks began receiving u nice supply of eggs, part of which he us ed at home, and sold the leinnimlcr at tile market pi ice. When spring came hn found some of (he hens growing broody mo he changed the liens' account with some setting eggs, and (lien looked for the' their biddies. This process went on until lie had raised about 140 chicks. November 1st, his first anniversary in the chicken business he took in ventory, and found that he had clear ed $3.05 on each of his original 35 hens. When 12 weeks old he sold the cockrels, crediting with all sold, and charging the cost of all feed at all times. Being much pleased with the re sult, he decided to enlarge, and went to looking for the best breeds as the first step in successful poultry raising. This was in 1914. January 1925 he received his first incubator capacity, 2300 orkh so arranged that one third of this amount is set each week. After throe weeks Iir took off his first hatch, and each week thereafter until lie had taken off 18 successful hatches -totaling about 10,000 chicks. A small per cent was custom hatch ing. Artec a few weeks lie found that hifi incubator was loo small tor the demand so in order to take care of the 1926 business, he has built, a modern incubator house and bought two 12,000 Buckeye Mamoth incubators, bringiug his capacity up to nearly 27,000 eggs. Beginning with spring, lie will bo in position to accomodate the people' with all ' purebred, day-old chicks. also do custom hatching for all. This shows how the poultry in dustry is getting hold on our people in Wilkes and' adjoining counties. In their interests, Dr. Karr, Inspector of Raleigh, will come and cull their- f locks, also have the examination in case of disease. While this reads almost like a fairy story, it applies to many poul try raisers in Wilkea County, among whom are W. T. Kilby, C. H. Opitis and J. J Hayes Through the.se and other members of the Association, Wilkes is truly taking on wings for a sail to the leadership of the state and then some. This vouched for by the County's discovery that it costs no more to raise a purebred fowl than a scrub; also that they fatten largely on grain that would go to waste and on worms and bugs that would destroy the crops.
