BRYANT FURNITURE CO. ltc Apollo Choir Gives Fine Performance Tuesday Evening On Tuesday evening the Apollo Boys' Choir, of Birmingham, under the direction of Coleman Cooper, gave a brilliant performance at the courthouse in Franklin. A group of 26 voices, ranging in age from nine to 14 years, blended in perfect harmony, produced clar ity of diction and tone, and in spired the large audience of music lovers who heard them. The excel lent training the boys have under gone under the direction of Mr. Cooper is proven by the unusual execution of comppsitions by such masters as Mozart, Brahms, Chopin and Sibelius The boys sing entirely from mem ory and in this concert ang with out accompaniment. The first half of the program was devoted to sacred music, the f ir.s.t group sung in English and the second in Latin. This part of the program was con ducted by the assistant director, Herr Emmerich Eber, of Vienna. During a short pause, Mr. Cooper spoke briefly about the boys, and their work, after which five of the boys presented solos. Master Billie Boyles. a coloratura soprano, sang "Little Star" by LaForge and reach ed high C with' all the ease of an accomplished artist. Each of the boys showed splendid ability in the interpretation of his selection. The second half of the program by the choir was conducted by Mr. Cooper, and was made up of se cular selections. One of these was sung in German.In response to en thusiastic applause the choir kgra ciously presented two encores, "The Huntsman's Chorus" from "Der Freischutz" by Weber, and an ar rangement of "Taps" by Eber. The boys are altogether natural and possess a delightful charm. This choir is known as The Pride ot the South," and lives up to this reputation in being one of the out standing groups in America.

National allotments will be estab lished for soil-depleting crops, and these will he divided among the states and then among the individ ual growers. Growers' payments will be figured on a basis of their allotted acreage of general crop land. If a grower complies with the program, he will receive' the full amount of his pay ment. But deductions will bemade for over-planting his acreage of de pleting crops or for failure to carry out soil-building practices recom mended.

' A2S 3tc SIS Macon Boy Disappears From Home Jack Carnes, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harley Carnes, of the Burn ingtown section, disappeared from his home last Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. Jack's mother has been an invilad for four years and unable to do the; housework. Because of this, much of the housework has been done by Jack, together with his school work. It is believed that this double-load caused him to become discouraged and to decide to leave. Anyone having knowledge of the boy's whereabouts is asked to com municate with the sheriff of Macon county, A. B. Slagle, in Franklin. The boy's uncle, Harvey Carnes, trailed him up the Little Tennessee river for five miles, finding where he had crossed the Little Tennes see river in a boat rowed by Loy Parrish, son of Ed Parrish, of West's . Mill. Loy said that Jack told him he was. going somewhere, but he didn't know where. - Jack, who is in the fifth grade, is four feet, seven inches tall, and weighs 85 pounds. He has brown eyes, black hair, a dark complexion was wearing blue overalls, a blue shirt, and was bareheaded and bare footed when he left home. He .was carrying a new pair of overalls and a new blue shirt.

State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Can broilers be started in the fall as successfully as, in the spring ? A. While a number of winter broilers are produced in the state, it requires v.ery careful manage ment on the part of the poultry man and is not recommended for the farm flock owner. One of the main reasons for this is that it is difficult to secure chicks, with a high constitutional vigor at this time of the year as the baby chicks are usually from eggs that are "produced by hens going out of lay or from pullets Just coming into production. Then, too, if the chicks are devel oped on range the green feed is scarce. Bad weather- often neces sitates confirement and the chicks are overcrowded which leads to devitalization and the resultant dis eases. Q. Is it too late to plant a fall garden? A. The time to iiant a fall gar den depends upon the hardiness of the different vegetables and upon the time - required for maturity. Many of the cool season crops will grow and mature through .light frosts,, but all crops should, be planted in time to mature before frosts occur. Vegetables such as beets, Kohl-Rabi. turnips, snap beans, mustard, leaf lettuce, and spinach may be planted as late as Sept-ember 30 in the extreme east ern part of the state. The best way is to figure the time required for maturity and then plant in . time to get the crop off before killing frosts. Q. -What is the best age for breeding heifers ? A. No arbitrary age can be set as the time .should be determined by the maturity of each individual As a general rule ' Jersey and Guernsey heifers should be bred so as to freshen from 24 to 30 months of age. The Ayrshire and Holstein animals, should be bred to freshen at from 27 to 32 months of age. Heifers which are fed a liberal grain ration in addition to th roughage will mature more rapidly and can therefore be bred earlier. AAA Farm Program . Outlined By Floyd The agricultural conservation program, for 1939 will be about the same as it is this year, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State col lege, has announced. Although plans for next year's program are subject to minor change, he said, the fundamental objectives will be retained. These are: Conserving the soil and assur ing an adequate production of farm commodities without piling up price- depressing surpluses. An added feature will be the establishment of ever-normal gran aries to absorb grain in years of heavy yield and to provide grain IMPROVED OUTLETS Improved market outlets for American apples and pears are ex pected in Europe during the com ing marketing seasnn n'vwri; w - U - J .WKVVk UWAg IV reports of the U.
