The party left the courthouse in the morning in cars. The farm of jerry K. Franklin, in the Holly Springs section was visited first. Here a trench silo was the main object of interest.. Mr, Franklin described how he made the silo without any cash outlay, and said when the' silo is covered with home " made boards' he will tmly have to spend cash' for nails used in the covering. Fred Sloan, Macon county farm agentdiiribedJovhikLwas to be filled' and of its operation The silo will hold about 32 tons of ensilage,, enough to feed the large herd of dairy cattle on the farm for about ISO days at a cost that is far below the usual expense of feeding cattle on the farms in Macon county. Visit Berry Farm The party then went to the Hig donville section to the home of Will Berry. Here a herd of pure bred Hereford tattle was on ex hibit. Mr. Berry benight a herd of three cows, three heifer calves and a young bull last year from a prominent breeder in Tennessee. He has been very successful. R. .R. Ramsey, president of the Asheville Livestock Yards, Inc., I t made a short talk at1 his-farm in which he said that the three months-old calves :..ot Mr. Berry's were worth as much for market purposes as the average two-year: old scrub beef, since the price per , pound for the purebred breed type was so much higher than the price per pound for' scrubs. After a tour of most of the beautiful Iotla Valley the party stopped at the home of Albert Ramsey, to inspect a field of the common type of lespedeza that has re-seeded itself. Mr: Sloan told of the various ways for. mowing lespedeza. Mr. Ramsey of Asheville, told how he increased th milk supply on his farm in Madison county by . using lespedeza as a part of his grazing crop. Charlie W. Henderson, of Gneiss, Macon county, said the use of lespedeza in pastures made a far better green feed than the best of grass pastures. County Farm Inspected The new- Macon county farm was visited next. The farm was bought last fall and is located about tow. two miies south of Franklin on 5r highway 285.

Trade Expansion jubilee is to "Buy Now," because prices iriost certainly are going up. Wages, salaries, com modity prices all are going higher as the Na tional Recovery Act restores better times. The wise buyer will supply his needs now, thereby making a saving for himself. At the same time he will be doing his part to pull the country out of the depression, for the money he spends will help put people to work. All through the N, R.

BARREN CORN HAS HIGH FEED VALUE BARREN corn stalks should be removed from the fields while slid green to obtain the greatest -possible feed-lvalue- li. C. Blair, extension agronomist at. State College, says that "in 1933, as in every dry ' year; many North Carolina corn fields will make a very low yield, and) .such fields always contain a high percentage of barren stalks, "In order "to get the greatest possible amount of feed value, the barren stalks should be cut from the field while still green.. They may be either fed green, or cured in the .shock. "When cut "at this stage, the corn stalks and leaves will cure into a bright green roughage . of higher fwding value and greater palatabil- ity than the mature stover will be later on." lie' pointed, out that . an analysis shows that the green .cured stalks contain three per cent digestable protein against two per cent for ordinary corn stover, and the per centage of carbohydrates and fats is also higher. ' "Another advantage in taking out barren stalks at this time is that fruitful stalks will not have to Compete with barren corn for moisture during the remainder, of the growing season," lie said. FORGOTTEN, NOT BOYCOTTED This is General Johnson's idea of dealing ; with those who refuse to align themselves with the NRA. He would not enjoin the patriotic people of this country to arm them selves with boycotts and proceed into their market activities with- a view of hostile demonstrations against those individuals and firms which have not affiliated, but he does advise his countryment to pass the slackers up, to forget than, ignore them, not to do business with them. In essence, therefore, the boycott will be employed, silently, passively but effectually, if. his counsel is followed. And, of course, sentimentally, this attitude may be defensible, but only if then, when a thoroughly discriminating judgment is acted upon.

Some arc innocent and undeserving .of even the mildest fanner of criticism for the very good reason that they are not positioned to enter into this program. They have their own peculiar circumstances to con sult and these, out of the very na ture of their cases, prevent many individuals and some corporations from enlisting with open loyalty with the legions who are marching under the new captaincy. As Mark Sullivan points out in OUR PART his analysis of the matter, over zealousness on the part of local committees-may be carried to ex cesses in their attempts to coerce the businesses of their respective communities into . the NRA.
