THftftSDAYj N6V, t im FARMERS BUY FINE CATTLE Thoroughbred Bulls And Heifers Bought By Macon Men By S. W.

Virginia for the purpose of pur chasing some good pure bred Here ford cattle. The county and assistant county agents were particularly pleased that this desire was evident' and were more than glad to accompany this group or any other group on a trip for the purpo.se of improv ing the livestock in the county. Farmers making the trip with the county and assistant agent were: Roy Southards, John Roane, M. S. Burnette, J,: R. Holbrooks, J. B. Matlock, Floyd Roper, Paul Am nion sV and Rafe Teague. The party left Franklin Friday morning and returned to Franklin, Sunday night. Approximately 1.5 farms were visit ed from Knoxville, Tenn., to Le banon, Va.

Titles at International Show Book Week Will Be Observed By Local Library In discussing National Book Week, November 13-19, Mrs. Frank I. Murray, librarian of the Franklin public library, furnished the follow ing statement in regard to its origin and meaning: , "The term of 'Book Week' originated more than a decade ago in the mind of Franklin K. Mat thiews, chief librarian of the Boy Scouts of America. He interested other librarians in the idea of de voting a particular seven-day period of each year, midway between the summer and Christmas holidays, to stressing books, for 'boys. "This group of literary mission aries dreamed of .showing the younger generation the pleasure and advantages of the book habit and so of raising continually new crops of larger and discriminating readers. "The splendid dream was at once vigorously ; translated into action! From the start, Boys' Book Week was a huge success. Soon, unable to show great cause for excluding the girls, and stimulated by the elo quent advocacy of Fredric G. Mel cher, it became Children's Book Week. Before long the new idea met with such a hearty welcome not only from children but also from grown-ups, that the original specialized juvenile significance was submerged in a general observance by old and young alike. "Children's Book Week has. now", in the minds of the' great majority, become plain Book Week, without distinction of age, sex or previous condition of literacy. "Book Week Slogan for 1938 is 'New Books New Worlds,' which is a title broad enough to include old and new favorites for every reader. "We -believe that we have books, pamphlets and magazines that will help you in your daily work, and our collection of books, for recrea tion and leisure reading is constant ly being increased. "We shall be honored to have you visit the library and take out a free membership card, and hope that we may be of some service to you. "Hours are 1 to 5 p. m. daily .ex cept Monday." More Second Crop June Apples Robert Sloan, who lives near town, brought to The Press office Monday several fine June apples from a second, crop which was I raised on the bloan place, rle also stated that he Jiad an Early Har vest tree which produced a second crop. PLENTY With large supplies and relative ly low prices in prospect for 1938 39, the outlook is for continued liberal feeding of livestock, says John Arey, extension dairyman at State college. ' SIMMONS PLANTS VETCH Enough vetch seed to plant four acres were inoculated by Senator F. M. Simmons of New. Bern on his Trent Road farm. The Sena tor will Use soil from this field to inoculate additional plantings next fall, said Assistant Farm Agent P. M. Cox, of Craven county. YIELDS DOUBLED A. M.

ESTIMATED TIMBER Because he had some fine pines about 75 years old and wanted to protect his new growth in selling the mature timber, Fred Yates of Chadbourn, Columbus county, had the extension forester at State col lege to use the scale stick in esti mating the timber he wished to sell. "It was better than selling blindly," Mr. Yates said.
