(tp .Oats and Seeding
^5 My time for sowing oats, grass
and clover would be during the next
- two weeks. Sow on as firm a seed
bed as possible, that plenty of moist
ure may come up.
Government experiments show
jjjtet it does not pay to turn clean
ground for oats. Turning, giv
ing about two bushels extra in yield.
Disc in or get on the riding cultiva
_ tor and plow them in. Or disc and
use grain drill. Sow grass or clover
after and drag with harrow or brush.
Earliness is the secret in getting
yields of oats. Take your chance
with frost rather than hot weather.
Chicken Market
The chicken truck was up last
Friday and took away over a hun
drfSfl dollars worth of culls and
dulfe. Hens of the heavies brought
22 cents; lights, 20 edits; ducks. 15.
This truck comes as far as Brevard
every Saturday, reaching Brevard
about noon. Chickens or eggs in
coops or cases will be taken back.
The following parties have been seen
and will buy chickens and eggs for
this truck or to be sent in by ex
press. Winchester, of Rosman;
Perry, of Calvert; Bagwell, of Se
lica; Bagwell, of Brevard; Lyday, of
Davidson River. Others are to be
seen yet. It is hoped to have a
regular buyer at every station along
the road. Prices will be furnished
a week ahead. This program is part
of my plans for the year, but any
one bidding highest for this trade
has my permission to take it in.
P'SS 4 ,
Rather suspect that Mrs. Tom
Wilson would like for Connestee
and East Fork to know that she can
beat them in raising pigs. I will
venture to say that no one but John
Bishop has beat her yet with a
large bunch of pigs. "Grow them
off quick is tb? way," Mrs. Wilson
says.
Spraying Time
? Now is .the time to tune up the
spray outfit and give the trees a
good spring bath of lime and sul
phury Sixteen pounds to fifty gal
lons.
The demonstration at the Arm
strong place, Toxaway, by Lewis
Tinsley. sure shows wonderful re
sults in killing scale and improving |
growth. The first spray is good till
leaves or flowers come out.
Berries
Mr. Henry Carrier cannot see why
people do not grow more berries. |
and especially raspberries. His set
tings yield a good profit. Two days
next, week we will have a Specialist
in small fruits with us. The time
will be devoted to individual work
as a beginning, so I will be glad to
havo you speak if you would like
for him to visit your place.

BAPTIST BARACAS
RAISE $5,000 FOR
CHURCH PURPOSE
The Baraca Sunday School class
of the Baptist church recorded an
attendance of 31 the past Sunday
?and a cash collection of $4,119-34.
! This collection was the first install- 1
j ment paid on the $5,000 the class
had previously pledged for the de
ficit on the pastorium. The balance
of the $5,000 has been pledged and
will be collected within the week.
This collection was taken as re
! suit of a challenge made by the men
. of the church that they would raise
$20,000 toward the re-building of
a new church edifice if the Baraeas
would meet this church deficit.
The two friendly compacts were
consequently entered into and arc
practically closed in so far as the
raising of the funds is concerned.
The church debt is paid and the
$20,000 for rebuilding is practically
in hand.
Plans include the building of the
Sunday School rooms first as an an
nex to the present . structure, and
later the church proper will be de
molished to make way for the con
struction of the remainder of the ed
ifice in its place. Actual construc
tion work on the Sunday School an
nex will begin at once it is
announced, with plans for its com
pletion by early summer.
J. A. Glazener is president of the
Baraca class and L. P. Hamlin is
teacher.
