Future Farmers
Double Yields Last
The average yields from the 93
projects completed by the members
of the Franklin Future, Farmers
chapter in 1938 were approximately
double . state and county averages.
For an example, 2,510 bushels of
Corn were produced on 59 acres for
an average of over 42 bushels per
acre. The state and county average
yield per acre is. about 20 bushels.
One .student, Albert Ramsey, made
110 bushels on one acre. Frank

THE FRANKLIN
of Macon
and Berlin Welch on Burlington
made 60 bushels or mor.c per acre.'
A greatly diversified list of farm
enterprises was included in the
farm program of the boys. Success
ful projects were completed with
corn, wheat, cereal hay, tobacco,
crimson clover, lespedeza, snap
beans, cabbage, Irish potatoes, pep
per, tomatoes, brood sows, hogs,
dairy cattle, and beef cattle. The
gross returns from these projects
was $4,805. After deducting all ex
penses except the self labor of the
students, there was a total earning
of $2,844. This is the second fcest
income ever made by the chapter.
It was higher in 1937 due mostly to
the better prices received for farm
products in that year. Some of the
outstanding project programs in ad
dition to the corn projects mention
ed above were those of Mitchell
McCoy in the Gold Mine section,
Leonel Meadows near Etna, Bob
McClure near Otto, Gus Baldwin
near Franklin, and Thomas Corbin
near Otto. ;
Try New Hybrid Corn
A few boys tried - a new hybrid
corn in their project work. Most
of these were unprofitable except
where it was planted on high moun
tain land. The variety used in this
case was Hybrid Early Yellow
Dent. Another variety, Hybrid White
Dent, was planted on one fafm in
the county and made a good yield.
In addition to the jobs dope in
cbnnection with their projects, 39
boys pruned the home orchard, 15
culled their home flocks of hens,
8 boys learned to castrate pigs and
dock lambs by actually performing
the operation, 2 acquired skill in
dehorning 'cattle, 2 set fruit trees
in the home orchard, 5 rooted grape
vines, 2 built approved farrowing
pens, 2 built self feeders for hogs,
1 fitted a calf for show, 2 set for
est trees, and 3 did a great deal to
ward improving the appearance and
convenience of the home grounds.
Mr. Finley, the vocational teach
er, emphasizes the fact that these
projects arc not necessarily prize
animals or "brag patches." Instead,
they are saiaJL-acale-farming enter
prizes being conducted under prac
tical farm conditions for the pur
pose of furnishing a medium for
putting into practical farm use the
abundance of sound knowledge
which has been discovered by our
agricultural experiment stations and
other farm research agencies. The
profit being made by these boys is
providing valuable experience in
handling money of their own and
for increasing their project pro
grams from year to year through
thrift.
Appalachian Trail

A new monthly periodical called
"Appalachian Trailway News" has

PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS
GIANT OLD GLORY '?Tmi--
AT NEW YORK FAIR
NEW YORK This mammoth flag,, the largest in the world,
(90x230 feet) was saluted by 1,000 children when the Court of Peace
was recently dedicated at the New York World's Fair 1939. The photo
graph, taken, from an airplane, also shows an edge of the oval Lagoon
of Nations in the foreground. Sixty-two nations are participating in the
Fair and are harmonizing their exhibits with the theme "Building the
World of Tomorrow."
ly charmed by the country we went
through, every bit of it, but strange
as it may seem, the stretches that
w.e enjoyed the most were the Yel
low Creek and Cheoah Mountains,
between Tapoco and We&s.er, with
grand views from their many nar
row ridges and Nantahala range,
between' Wesser and Wallace Gap.
The high light of this section was
an overnight tamp on Wayah
Bald."
Such appreciation from visitors
will cause the people of . Graham
county' and Macon county to awake
with surprise that the beauty they
have been longing for is right in
their midst. It may even cause them,
some week-end, to hike the Appa
lachian Trail at their door and see
the views that have the power to
charm visitors.
Olterbridge goes on to say: "One
outstanding delight of the trip to
all of us, possibly because it wasv so
unexpected, was the magnificent
oak" forests, with; huge trees and
grassy park-like floor, through which
the trail runs. Another constant
pleasure was the wild flowers, whose
profusion and varieties seemed to
surpass those of the more northern
ly portions of the trail."
More and more people come to
Western North Carolina each year
and find new charming areas. The
Appalachian Trail which runs for
2,000 miles from Maine to Georgia,
culminates in scenic values in West
ern North Carolina.

Because of the larger hatch ex
pected this year, market supplies of
chickens in the last half of 1939
will probably be above those of a
year earlier.
