' Old Men Of Little League Are Tapped For Retirement The ' fatherly han.d of retire ment has tapped the shouldeis of some 14 "old men" who have reached the advanced age of 13 years and are ineligible to play any more Little League baseball. But, if present plans material ize, these doddering old men (all several years away from shaving) will be able to pick up their base ball careers next season in Pony League play for boys 13 and older. At the end of the regular Little League season, the "old men" were tagged as an all-star team (not the regularly chosen all-stars from the four teams) and scheduled three post-season games with a similar team chosen from Little Leaguers in Sylva. The locals lost two of the three ' encounters. They won the second game 6 to 1. Coached by Harold Corbin and Carey Cabe, the #"old men" in clude Roy Hopkins, Dale Yeary, Johnny Cabe, Morris Davis, Sam Tallent, Johnny Crawford, Ronnie Mashburn, Ronnie Higdon, Pur man Ledford, Jimmy Williams.

(Bob) Carpenter is their manager. v i IS ON BOARD Mrs. Grover Jamison, Jr., is one of eight new members of the board of stewards for the Franklin and Carson Methodist Churches.

Local Attractions Appear On Map Many attractions in Macon County, including Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Whiteside Moun tain, appear on the new "Moun tain Attractions" map prepared and distributed by the Asheville Chamber of Commerce. In addition to miscellaneous at tractions of Western North Caro lina, the attractive four-color map features dramas, state parks, lakes, national ' parks, waterfalls, national forests, picnic areas, and mountain peaks. One of seven trips suggested is the "Land of Waterfalls" loop to Franklin and up US 64 to High lands and into Cashiers valley. The North Carolina acreage of cantloupes for harvest in 1956 is estimated at 4,300 acres, a reduc tion of 20 per cent from last year. Official Urges Support Of Feeder Calf Sales "It you buy or sell good quality cattle," says Sam Buchanan, ex tension animal husbandry special ist at North Carolina State Col lege, "help promote the North Carolina feeder calf and yearling steer sale program." Mr. Buchanan reports the de mand for feeder calves and yearl ings is expected to be good dur ing September and October. He believes that this increased de mand will follow the definitely in creased finished cattle prices wit nessed during the past month. Cattle sold at these sales will be field inspected before the sale begins. No bull calves will be sold. Heifer calves will be tested for Bang's and shipping fever and dehorned. All tattle will be graded and sold in uniform lots accord ing to their breed, sex, weight, and grade. Since cattle at these sales are marketed on a graded basis, Mr. Buchanan believes that feeders who buy these cattle to finish for market or producers who pur chase heifers to keep for brood cows realize the importance of buying healthy cattle in uniform lots. Mr. Buchanan says 12 sales in the next two months awill bring the next two months will bring a total of 8,100 high quality to market. He states that these sales are being used as demon strations to promote the produc tion of more high quality cattle throughout the state. Sales close to Macon County include: Yearling Steer: Asheville Live stock Market, September 26, 1,500 head. Feeder Sale: Asheville, W. N. C. Livestock Market, October 3, 500 head. Fluid milk and cream sales ac count for about half the average consumption of dairy products by Americans.

Mm Street, West Dealer 594 FnaUtn, M. t Garden Time ... ; By ROBERT SCHMIDT It is new time to make selections of spring flowering bulbs. Plant them any time in September, October or November. Choose trom many kinds, including tulips, daffodils crocus, hyacinths, and Dutch iris. There are many var- . ieties of these and a wide range | of colors to suit the fancy of any gardener. By selecting var ieties you may also extend the blooming season over a period of several weeks. In sandy or loose soils bulbs may be planted a little deeper than in tight clay soils. Daffodils (narcissi1 should be planted six to seven inches deep in sandy loam soils, tulips and Dutch iris about five inches deep, hyacinths about six inches, and crocus two inches deep. Use any good garden fertilizer. Put it into the soil where the bulbs are to be planted, but don't let it come into contact with the bulbs. There are many different types of narcissi ? commonly called daffodils or jonquils. The true jonquil usually has small flowers, | often several to the stem, ana 'they are usually very fragrant. There are several types of daff odils: some with short trumpets and others with large trumpets. Some of the trumpets are a brilli ant orange-red, some white, and some yellow. These go along with white or yellow petals. Of the large flowered daffodils; King Al fred, Golden Harvest, Duke of Windsor. Tunis, Fortune. John Evelyn, and Dick Wellband are very fine. Mount Hood, Roxane, and Beersheba are good whites: Texas and Twink are interesting double flowers; and Mrs. R. O. Backhouse is the famous pink-flow ered variety. Dutch iris should be planted in September or October. The leaves will appear before winter , sets in, but this is natural so [ do not be alarmed. They will with- 1 stand our winters with very little j damage. Crocuses should be planted more generally. They give a cheerful spot of color in late winter or early spring. Madonna or ascen sion lilies should be planted in ' September. The depth of planting is very important. Madonna lilies should be planted only about two | jo three Inches deep, whereas most other lilies are planted much leeper. September is National Better Breakfast Month.
