Aak for i-r a PERRY'S DRUG STORE ASHEVILLE, March 30.-Stock-holders of the Farmers Federation, in annual session Saturday in the Buncombe county courthouse, elect ed 18 directors, heard reports of increased volume of business, and voted unanimously , to request the retention of S. C. Clapp as head of the State Test Farm at Swannanoa. The co-op's business last year reached an all-time high of $1,143, 559, Guy M. Sales, general manager, reported in submitting the federa tion's financial statement. This rep resents an increase of nearly a quarter of. a-million dollars ever the previous year. Assets were re ported as $410,509, as compared with $403,516 at the end of 1936. The- federation now operates 17 warehouses in 11 counties, Mr. Sales reported, having established new units during February in Cherokee and Transylvania" counties. It has more than 100 full time employes and, when the cannery at Hendcr sonville is in operation, more than double that number. The federation's membership, it was reported by James G. K. Mc Clure, president, has increased dur ing the past year from 3,100 to 3, 598. This gain is due. largely to the sale of new stock shares, mostly in Cherokee and Transylvania counties,-and to new members added through the issuance of stock as patronage dividends. , A patronage dividend of three per cent recently declared by the directors on last year's cash busi ness, Mr. McClure announced, was shared in by 774 persons. Payment of the dividend was made in stock shares or credit toward stock. Of the total number participating, 115 received one or more full paid shares. The patronage dividend was in addition to regular semi-annual dividends of three per ' cent (six per cent annually) paid in . cash on both preferred and common stock. Refinancing plans recently com pleted, Mr. McClure said, had greatly reduced the co-op's interest burden and supplied it with ample operating capita!.' "We feel," lie added, "that the federation now is in better financial condition than it has ever been." " A spontaneous ovation developed for S. C. Clapp early in the meet ing and when a resolution was of fered urging his retention as head of the State Test Farm it was unanimously adopted in a rising Vote. Declaring that "a change in the .management' of the station would greatly impair its usefulness, influence and prestige throughout this section," the resolution request ed W. Kerr Scott, state commis sioner of agriculture, "to recon sider and rescind his order calling for the resignation of Mr. Clapp as head of the Mountain Experiment Station effective July 1, 1938." This action was prompted. by the recent announcement by Mr. Scott that Dean W. Colvard, 24, of Ashe county, would replace Mr. Clapp July 1. Several speakers praised Mr. Clapp's work, and H. Grady Reag an, chairman of the Buncombe county commissioners, said iin a welcoming address he felt "Com missioner Scott is making a grave mistake." - Reports on various phases of the federation's work were submitted by departmental heads. The following directors were elected: Lloyd Cantrell and E. O. Ship man, Transylvania county; J. F. Snipes (W. T. Gowan alternate) and W. H. Greenlee, McDowell county; J. L. Houk, (Ben Gibbs alternate) Burke county: C M. Howes, Polk county; R. Ledbetter, Rutherford county; Harry Roberts, Henderson county; Milas Parker, Jackson county; Carl Slagle, Ma con county; R. T. Boyd, Haywood county; D. Witherspoon, and J. H. Hampton, Cherokee county; B. A. Patton, Buncombe county; Henry Francis, Haywood county; H. A. Coggins, S. C. Clapp and C. C. Cook,, all of Buncombe county. The first 14 names were elected as regular or county directors, the last four as (' directors-at-ferge. Eleven directors carry forward from last year. Terms are for two years. Immediately after the stockhold ers' meeting the directors met and re-elected Mr. McClure as presi dent, R. C. Crowell, vice-president, and O. J. Holler, of Rutherford, as secretary-treasurer. The executive committee also wai reelected. Newton Bros. Circus Coming April 18 Millions of circus fans claim that Newton Bros, big circus is the cleanest, brightest and best travel ing exhibition under canvas, and way back in the west and northern s'tates there are a great many peo ple who hail with glad acclaim the advent of this world-toured circus for the simple reason that they never attended any other entertain ment of like character. Why? Because they know whatever is advertised on the billboards, that is what is shown. They know that the ihimense domes ' of their pavilions are replete with novelties and new features, and they get polite atten tion from attaches. . The circus is a great equalizer, for it is the one place where the millionaire and pauper meet to gether and enjoy themselves. The rich man who sits in the reserve seats does not get one bit more pleasure out of the performance than does his poor brother who sits in the blues on the other side of the canvas. His heart throbs just as ecstatic ally at the divinities in tights and illusion skirts are whirled around the arena on their steeds', and his laugh is just as hearty at the quaint wit and mirth-provoking antics of the clowns. Old and young, rich and poor alike all find something to think about, something to astonish and something to laugh about and re member during Newton Bros, circus program, It's a great educator. Many min iature features for the kiddies have been added this season, baby monk eys, baby 'camels and a host of other animals, bands and calliopes will discourse ample music to keep many arenic celebrities pepped to the very keynote of artistic skill and effort, presenting the greatest performances ever, offered to the public. Two I performances, rain or shine, 2 p. m. and 8 p. m. Doors open 1 and 7 p. m on April 18. Grand free exhibition on show grounds daily. Tobacco Growers To Vote On Market Quota Producers of burley tobacco in 17 North Carolina counties will vote ApriK9 to determine whether a marketing quota will be applied, to the. 1938 crop. The referendum will be held throughout the burley belt. Two thirds of all growers voting must mark their ballots "yes" for the quota to go into effect this year. The proposed 1938 marketing quota for burley is 250,000,000 pounds, to be pro rated among states according to production. plus diversion under the AAA during the last five years, E.' Y. Floyd of N. G. State college, AAA" officer, said. State allotments would be divided among farms on a basis of past marketings, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions and plant bed and other diseases; land, labor and equipment available; crop rotation practices; and other factors affect ing burley tobacco production. Burley is grown in Madison, Yan cey, Mitchell, Buncombe, Avery, Watauga, Ashe, Clay, Haywood, Alleghany, Transylvania, Graham, Cherokee, Henderson, Macon, Jack- THURSDAV, MARCH 31, 1131 son and Swain counties, Floyd said. County Agent, Sam W. Menden hall stated that he had not yet re-, ceived definite instructions as to the voting place and the procedure to be followed in conducting this referendum. This information may be secured at a later date at the County agent's office. Sanitation Protects Chicks From Disease Poultry can be one of the most dependable enterprises o,n the farm, but the birds must be protected from disease, said T. T. Brown, extension poultry specialist at State college. Moving the brooder house to a new location, where it will be on clean ground, will help cut down the chance of infection. Before it is moved, it should be scrubbed thoroughly with a solution of one pound of lye to-15 or 20 gallons of water. If the brooder house, cannot be moved, several inches of the top soil around the house should be taken up and replaced with clean soil from an area where no chick ens have ranged during the past year or two. Keep the brooder house clean, and don't feed anything that will attract flies, such as liquid milk. Flies spread tapeworms. When the chicks are 10 to 12 weeks old, or as soon as they be come well feathered, move them to summer range shelters where they can range on clean land. It is a good idea to place the range shelter on the lower part of sloping land so that it can be mov ed up the slope occasionally dur ing the summer season. If the shelter cannot be moved, clean it out at frequent intervals. A mm eme We are pleased to announce that PAY-AND-TAKE-IT ( W. L.
