AMMON (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.
