N. C POULTRY EXPERT REPEATS VISIT Other Items of Interest By Our County Agent, Garrison FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1926 it Piys to Feed Hogs The price of hogrs is going down, and some of the farmers who were eager to “get into hogs” a month or so ago are possibly beginning to wonder if it is really worth while. It is. Even though prices go down quite a bit yet, as they may, it will pay most farmers to feed some hogs. There will be price advances in other years; and besides, the time of high- eit prices is not the time to start into any line of livestock production. One year with another, hog raising and feeding is a profitable business, Kelly Project Is Of Great Benefit To Southern Pines Bion H. Butler. , Last week I noted the progi*ess in \ the Weymouth Heights section of! Southern Pines. This week Tom ' Kelly has an engineer corps under James Swett laying out roads in the edge of the Bradley tract, between the Boyd property and the Country | club at Southern Pines. And not only are men making the survey and the plot of that property, but a crew has been at work cutting out roads and preparing for a building scheme that is entertained, and which Mr. Kelly says is to start with two or three houses in a short time. i This tract embraces about forty acres, and once it is discovered by . if only the number of hogs is fitted to the farm and the supply of feeds, and who desire home sites in the if good methods are followed.

Did you ever stop to think about the marvelous value of a purebred sire? Did it ever occur to you that in a very short time a purebred sire ! ! . would change a herd from scrub to | ^ notice about the practically purebred cattle?

A splendid program ridges .that look down immediately on the golf links, with plenty of pine trees, sufficient elevation and rug gedness in places, and convenience to all the village utilities to present about all that can be wanted for build ing sites. Around almost the whole of three sides of the tract is a moderate bluff that will adapt the tract for the type of houses that can use stone for more or less of the building material, and Mr. Kelly says he looks with favor on that policy, as the stone in the Pushee and Newcomb house is at tracting much approval. Fifteen or twenty homes built of stone in the pines on the edge of the Bradley lot would harmonize perfectly with the surroundings and with the grounds of the golf course, which will afford a big front lawn for much of the en tire lot. It ii but a short distance from the Highland Pines Inn to the entranc«2 to the tract. The Valley road comes down in a pleasing curve to the C.oolr house and sweeps around to the left of the Herring house, and there turns sharply to the left, with a branch to the right, and opens into the entire property. The tract is 350 feet from the Cook house, and 850 feet down the Highland road from the Highland Pines Inn. It is approached by the Highland road as well as by the Val ley road, making it as easy of access as any point on any s)treet in South- em Pines. On three sides the Coun try club owns the ground, which en sures the surroundings of the neigh borhood. On the remaining side is that group of homes lining Indiana avenue and leading up to the Inn and extending on out Massachusetts ave nue through the Weymouth area. With two or three of the right type of houses in this new tract, Mr. Kelly says, he anticifiates a development that will be of substantial benefit to Southern Pines, for it is another such a poftsibiHty as Loais Lachine has been following on Massachusetts ave nue, which has given a wholly new note to the entirt hill.

These clubs, which have been giv ing joint concerts for the past sixty years, and have taken trips every year during the Christmas holidays for many years past, have come to be recognized throughout the entire country as two of the finest organi zations of their kind in existence, and in the past sixty years have enter tained hundreds of thousands of peo ple from Boston to San Francisco and from Montreal to New Orleans. . The Yale Glee Club is composed of thirty- four members. Their pro gram will be varied enough to suit every type of person in the audience. There will be serious songs, semi-se rious, and college songs, and the pro gram will be concluded with the Yale anthem. There will also be several light quartet numbers and a specialty act by three members of the club. The Banjo Club is an unique organ ization in that it is composed almost exclusively of banjos, without piccolos or other ochestral instruments, such as are usually seen in other so-called Banjo clubs. ^ I The club is composed of nineteen When the fairoers were sellmg ^ jiii* anmliis r>hi<»irpnfi InRt snmnripr to i.,* ! •■it, sist of numbers particularly suited to the banjo. ‘dmger rf « poultry rfiortoge this ^ This yew’s trip is one of the longest ' But McCrimmc, I that the Yale Musical clubs have ever who has kept in touch with chickens ‘ start from New Haven in the territory, says the situation 1^"*^ visit Washin^n, D C.. was never so good.

Garland Shirley Interprets Songs and Notes of Dif ferent Birds Garland Shirley, of Shenandoah College,Dayton, Virginia, gave the Kiwanis club something nr-w to think about at the Wednesday dinner at the Manor, at Pinehurst. He is an en thusiast about birds, but instead of studying them with a gun or a cam era, his pleasure comes from hearing their songs and repeating their notes. He whistled and sang many of the tunes the birds of this section enter tain us with during the seasons, and his accurate repetition of the notes of the commoner varieties was highly realistic. Mr. Shirley advocated a closer acquaintance with the birds, and told of their value to the economic life of the country, as well as their pleasure to the folks who cmne in (Please turn to page 6) the year through, although of course, it is better at some seasons than others. But even in summer, when local demand is not very great, the s-hipping demand will take all the sur plus fowls that are offered. Chicken feed is easy to raise on the farm, and the birds require not a great deal of attention, and about the only ele-ment of expense that should be met is a lit tle of the feeds that carry nitrogen to balance the feeds made at home, and not much of that is required, and it pays a big return.” , Eggs are coming in pretty freely now, and give promise of a good crop during the winter, and prices »re ^ood. Poultry is also selling well. Forty-four hogs belonging to two farmers of Pasquotank county were vaccinated by the county agent in time to stop an outbreak of cholera. The hogs were valued at $500.; Growers in Western North Caro lina wiU harvest a fine crop of apples this fall.

But to those who are still remember- injr the fight, those who still carry some of the effects of the last big drive on their bodies, it is hard to forget a single day of its existence. Members of the Pinehurst Ameri can Legion Post have decided to bring some Christmas wishes to their former comrades. A great many of them are still in hospitals, recuperat ing from their wounds. On the night of December 14th, at the Pinehurst Theatre, a special film, “Corporal Kate,” in which Vera Reynolds is itarred, will be presented at a special performance for the benefit of the disabled soldiers. There isn't much more to say. Christmas time, if any, stirs the feeling for friend and com rade. The generous spirit of the holidays causes many to aid the un known, whether he be broken in health or in spirit. To the cause whkh the Legion is sponsoring, there is no doubt of its timeliness, for the proceeds of the theatre performance will be turned into Christinas cheer for the disabled soldiers.
