FARM NEWS

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.
ESCAPED CONVICTS STILL
AT LARGE; REWARD IS
OFFERED FOR CAPTURE,'
The five men who sawed their way
to freedom last week from the
County chain-gang are still at iarge.
although a diligent search has been
kept up by the sheriffs department.
The men were serving sentences
ranging from ten to eighteen months
each, and had served from one to
three months of their sentences.
They are: Chester Moffett. Charlie
Parton, Marvin Kilby, Loyd Ledford.
and Cecil Hensley. A reward of
fifty dollars is offered for the arrest
of Hensley, and twenty-five dollars

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.

WILL DEMONSTRATE DUSTING
COTTON WITH AIRPLANE
*?
Scotland Neck, N. C. May 0th. ?
Arrangements have been completed
with a commercial airplane company
to give a cotton dusting demonstra
tion to control the bol! weevil on the
the farm of J. A. Kitchen of this,
county on Friday May 1 r>th. accord
ing to information released by
County Agent C. E. Littlejohn of
Halifax County.
Mr. Littlejohn siates that the de
monstration will be held on a field
of young cotton on Mr. Kitchen's
farm about two and one-half mil'.*.*
from Scotland Neck, on the Hogback
road. The company will have two
airplanes and wiil actually lay a dust
cloud of calcium arsenate from the
air. The cotton will be too young
and the boll weevils too few for the
dusting to be actually effective in
control, but the idea is to prove that
airplane ducting is practical and ef
I f ective.

vival meetings at the big tent is
showing marked increase both in in
terest and attendance. Last Sunday
night it was estimated that more than
2,000 were in attendance, with the
seating capacity of the tent taxed to
the utmost and standing room at a
premium. The amount of incidental
expenses for the meeting was raise
the first week. This amounted to
approximately $700, and speaks well
for the liberality of the community.
Rev. Stan bury continues to preach
the plain Gospel truths, and is reach
ing the hearts of hardened sinners
and causing the renewal of the
Christian experiences of backsliders
| as has not been witnessed in Bre
Ivard for many years. 127 converts
ihave been reported up to the present
time. The spirit of unity among the
Christian forces is most commend
able.
In additon to Rev. Stanbury, who
is endearing himself to the hearts of
his hearers by his consecrated and
earnest Christian life, should be men
tioned also Mrs. Stanbury, who is a
successful personal worker and a
great influence for good. Mention
should not be omitted of Mr. Beall,
the song leader, who holds an im
portant part of each service and is j
touching the hearts of many through
his gift of song. Mr. Colville, the
official personal worker of the party,
is exerting a wonderful power for
good through his personal contact]
with the unsaved. ]

the County attend these services, arid
representatives from Hendersonvilk1,
Asheville and South Carolina have
been present on several occasions, it

THE PRAYER CORNER
KNOWING CHRIST
"Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast tliou not known
Me, Philip?"
There is a pathos in the Lord's
question," says A. V. 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.
