Support Woman's Bureau in Beautifying Brevard BREVARD NEWS sad VOL. XXXI BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 11, 1926 No. 6 EVERETT FARM BOUGHT BY SYNDICATE FARM NEWS By L. A. AMMON Need Breeding Stock As things now stand, it looks to me that we will need some more White Leghorn breeds to set apart breeding pens. Mr. Yongue has an order for four thousand chicks, * which will about take all his eggs. That leaves us with only one other large pen, and one medium and one small one. If orders should be re ceived from outside we will be up against it. The incubators take eggs next Saturday and Monday, and the same days each week for the rest of the season. Just now we have or ders for most enough to fill the first third of one 'machine. Seed Potatoe? Look out for your seed potatoes. Soon be planting time, and seed are scorce. Let's have as large an ac reage as possible, with the under standing that they will be shipped during August and September. At this time we will average the best price over a number of years. Then too, we can* sell odds and ends of truck in mixed cars with the greater part being potatoes. Cattle Sold Several feeders contracted their fat cattle for future delivery during the past week. Cows delivered in J March were sold at six cents, steers at eight cents, fat work oxen at six cents at the farm. Sick Cows Seems to be an unusual number of our best milk cows going off feed. Some from eating ivey. some from eating too much, but the ma jority seem to be victims of just plain constipation. This trouble weakens the cow, and if not relieved in short order Bossie takes cold. Stand with heads out and low. with nose or eyes running. Treat them the same as for people allowing for the extra weight in proportion. Saltz, kerosene, and ginger, make j good with most cases. Some fail to \ come to appetite at once, and these ; should be given some form of pow der in feed. The usual stock pow ders are good home remedies. The thing to do is to not feed too much of constipating feeds, such as cotton meal and hulls, and es pecially hulls. Hi' lis are a binder for heavy fed cattle, and were never intended for cows receiving medium to light rations. One-half gallon of meal per day is enough. Shorts for rest. CASTLE YALLEY CO. !

The parking situation was also discussed with a view to having regulations made to relieve the congestion which was ap parent last year. The following communications from J. L.

H. Townshend and George Morris, prominent business men of Memphis, Tenn., on which property v-ill be established a summer camp for boys, Camp Chickasaw, by name. The camp, when completed, will represent an investment of ap proximately $60,000, it being the purpose of the owners to expend at liast $25,000 on improvements. Mr. Morris, one of the owners, will also be camp director. The camp site is situated one and (.ne-half miles from Brevard, ad joining the Brevard Country Club and gc'.f course, and overlooking the broad valley and the Frcii.li Broad River, with a river frontage of al most two miles. The property s bounded in the north by Sugarloaf Mountain, and partially on the eas sted west by the mountain which provides an ideal watershed with numerous fresh water springs, asm is bounded partly also on the eas and west by the French Broad river ; ml entirely on the south by tin liver. The river at this point i about 80 feet wide, with sufficient depth for canoeing, but shallow enough not to be dangerous. It is claimed that Chickasaw Camp wil be the only camp aiouml Brevard to be provided with a stream for canoeing. Work on the camp is now in pro gross, and it is the intention of thi owners to have the constructioi work completed and everything i; readiness for the opening of the coming summer season. When com pleted, the camp will include It cabins, each with two compartment. and accommodating eight boys; a dining hall with <* seating capacity of 200; a gymnasium, equipped f?>? basketball and other indoor sports, also a moving picture machine; ? large concrete swimming pool, with chlorinated water supply, will insure :i constant supply of fresh, clcai water.

The two-story home al ready on the property, the liurary and all outhouses are in good ?? audi tion and will stand as at present 1? cated. R. H. Morrow, cont. a. ? nv engineer of Brevard, is in chcrge v! , all camp construction work. The camp, it is claimed, wil. l-e situated not only in the most tiful section of Western North < <? olina, but will be, when complef - one of the most thoroughly equip!""' and modern of the many camps tl:..; have been established in rece: i years. Notwithstanding the many summer camps in this section, ( ami Chickasaw will be the first with a direct personal appeal to thy b?v - ' ' the Memphis territory. Tin- nair.i "Chickasaw' 'is taken from the nam; of a tribe of Indians formerly lo cate near Memphis. The location of this camp has a history that goes back more than half a century. The late Judge Forsythe, a former South Carolina planter of considerable wealth. !?' searching for a summer home, se lected this site as the most alto gether desirable in Western North Carolina, considering the scenery the most picturesque in the entire Blue Ridge section.

May I share with my readers a beautiful thought from my reading on "Fellowship with God." Our fellowship is with the Father. Ah, if we could but grasp (hat one truth, how would all life be ele vated and inspired; how it would cease to look dim and mean and not worth living; how it would catch and reflect the glory of the em ire ling heaven. For this fellowship is Eternal Life. Half the systems of human phi' osophy and religion have been de vised to rear up some ladder of endless rounds between earth and heaven, to bridge, by some inter mediate agencies, the fathomless cleft which seemed to separate nian from God. There is but ONK lad der; it is the Son of Man, on whom ungels ascended and descended. There is but one bridge; it is that bridge of the Divine Humanity with its one vast span flung by God Himself over the immeasurably void. When we separate ourselves from God by wilful sin, we may well de spair, for then we are the most mi? e.rabie and deplorable of all the creatures which God has made; but when we attain, as we may attain, to fellowship with Him, then we may feel that there is grandeur in the beatings of the heart, for then lite is immortality. And this fellowship with God, which lifts us up from the dust I" enthrone us among the stars, also gives sanctity to the being of others. Just as we must often feel deep shame at our own unworthi ness, so there is in human life an aspect so mean and ugly that at times we seem almost driven from our belief in our honor, for all hut the few among our fellow men. es pecially when we look at the world ly and Godless side of human na ture. Belief in man end hope for man and love to man are restored only by fellowship with God. Union with God is to our fallen nature what sunlight is to the dud and miry world; what a reflection of the blue heaven is to some muddy wayside pool. Kaised. forgiven, loved, ennobled ourselves, we >rl our brother men also in the light ? f that ideal and transforming splen dor* we see them walking in the :i r of glory, redeemed and sanctified, we learn the moaning ?'f til"** lines ? Glory to God from those whom men oppress. Honor from God to those whom men despise. Fellowship with the Father is only possible to us, because it is possible to all, and that possibility is a ! -ning so glorious that i: exalts the | a hole nature of mankind into a ie [ leemable and saved thing i ~ PRAYER FOR FELLOWSHIP ' WITH GOD THE FATHER Our Father God, we thank Thee I :hat we may have fellowship with ! Thee. Oh, how it elevate? and in j ? tiires life, how it cali-l:e?; and re I .ieets the glory of the eneireliisg f.eavcn. for fellowship \* :h Thee. <.ur Father, is Eternal Life. We strive to rear up some l:td d"r of endless rounds between each .-ad heaven, to bridge !>>? some in termediate agencies the fathomless c.'eft which seems to separate loan * rum Thee. Show us, that there if but ? ?? ladder, the Son of Man; that there is but one bridge, the b.-jdire of the Divine Humanity, with its one vast span flung by Thyself over the i"> measurable void. When we separate ourselves from Thee by wilful sin we are the mo4 miserable and deplorable of all Tl-.y creatures, but when we attain, as .ve may attain, to fellowship with .Thee, then we feel there is grandeur in the beatings of our hearts, for then life is immortality. And this fellowship with Thee, our Father, as it lifts us from '.he dust, to enthrone us among the stars, gives sanctity to the being of others when we look upon the worldly and Godless side of human ity, our belief in and hono- for hu man nature fails us.
