Devoted to the upbuilding of Brevard and_ ' Transylvania County Brevard Our Advertisers make the Town and County prosperous. Patronize THEM VOL. XXX THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1925 No. 20 FARM NEWS By L. A. AMMON Chicken Day Friday, May the fifteenth, the Fed eration truck will make the County buying all kinds of poultry. The prices for this week are: hens, 20c tb ; broilers, 38e lb ; roosters, 8c lb ; eggs in cases 23c dozen. The truck will reach Rosman about 10 o'clock and pass through Brevard at noon, then on down the line. The time of reaching a place depends on the amount of chickens to handle. Wool Market Mr. G. . P. Williams, our Statu sheep specialist, writes me that wool is bad low now, and he is quite sure that it will go up considerably by August. The Elkin Co., offers 45 cents per pound for May. Protein Poison in Chickens About time for trouble with broiler size chickens if you are feed ing them more than ten percent meat : scraps, and perhaps some milk with it. The dead ones usually show a dark comb, and some people call the trouble black comb. The best of the bunch and especially those that hang around the mash hopper, are the ones that die. In one flock last year, I advised giving a dose of saltz. We learned a lesson, as every sick chicken was dead in an hour after taking tiu saltz. It is in a large sense append icitis, due to slow movement ot the fine smooth feed passing through the bowels, setting up an irritation. The best thing we found last year was to give not over a live percent meat scrap mash and give more grain. The trouble soon let up. Five drops of carbolic acid to the quart of drinking water should be good. Fairs The Home and Farm Agent will start work on fairs soon, and the present plan is for several sectional and community fairs and perhaps a County Fair. Much depends on the support given by all concerned. If j meetings are announced you can j show your interest by being at the ? meetings and taking part in the plan ning of the fair machinery.

CHAW CAMPAIGN IS VERY SUCCESSFUL The clean-up campaign of May G, which was sponsored by the Better ment. proved most successful in ev ery respect. A committee of compe tent judges from the Betterment awarded the following prizes for the largest rubbish piles: Main street. Tommy Hampton; Broad street. Dwight Moffit: Caldwell street. Joe Duckworth; Jordan street. Fowler Lyon.; Whitmire street, Paul Rick man. A prize of SI. 00 was awarded each one of thtse young boys for having the largest rubbish piles on their respective streets. The streets of Brevard assumed an 7 altogether different aspect following the completion of the clean-up cam paign. Vacant lots, premises and public buildings also showed the re sults of clean-up week, all of which, in their gratifying results, demon strated the necessity for such a cam paign. The- ladies in charge of this campaign, as well as all others con cerned, are well aware of the fact that, in order for any clean-up cam paign to be at all permanent in its good effects, it must be eternally kept up. The committee in charge wishes to thank all' who contributed in any way ?with their hearty co-operation in making the clean-up campaign a de cided success. FLORIDA PEOPLE VISIT BREVARD; TO LOCATE HERE A motor party consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Pearce and son, John, and W. L. Tillinghast, of St. Petresburg, Fla., reached Brevard last Tuesday, and stopped at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Saltz. These gentlemen are prosperous business men of Flor ida, and came through the moun tains of Western North Carolina by way of Murphy, looking for a beau tiful location for summer homes, and finally decided upon Brevard as the most desirable location. After reaching Brevard, Mrs. Saltz accompanied them on a trip to Lake Toxaway, Connesstee, Caesar's Head, and various falls, camps and places of interest. These gentlemen were delighted with the charm and beauty of this local section of the "Land of the Sky.'* expressing the opinion that this was the most beautiful mountain scenery they had yet seen. On their way to Brevard, the party stopped at Murphy and had decided to invest several thousand dollars in a summer home near that city. On arriving at Brevard, how ever. and being convinced of the su perior beauties and advantages of this immediate section, they decided to buy property here and locate their summer homes in the neighbor hood of Brevard rather than at Murphy. Both are greatly enthused over their wonderful discovery, and are of the opinion that many of their friends will also decide to invest in ! summer homes in this locality, after learning of their own splendid good fortune. ?

Magee, "we arc so slow in coming to KNOW HLM, and at the end, like ilim, we shall wonder at the slowness.' When clear from mirage t<> mir age, shall bloom the landscape of the past, we shall he astonished at our incapacity to realize the Fatherhood, to see in the Companion Whom we ought to have known and did not, the express image of llis person. "If ye had known .\le," so He bids us learn of Him m prayer and pa tience. It is vain to cry with I'hilip, "Show us the Father! ' for here in tile in carnate life, Fatherhood has been re vealed. "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father, how sayest thou then 'Show us the Father'? ' So often do we ask a sign, a super natural token, that shall compel faith, and remove doubt. Uut no sign shall be given than those tokens which day by day He is ever giving in prayer, and praise and sacrament; in nature and in grace, liil the day break and the shadows flee away. "He that hath si en nie, hai.il seen the Father. ' Christ hath not left the world. He is here, always, and every win re, ami He has never failed them that seek Him.
