FARM NEWS
By L. A. AMMON
Glad to hear that our hatchery is
making plans for selling some baby
chickens each Wednesday.
Do not let the baby chickens get
M ?oo hot or cold. Never above 100
J and not under 90 till they are hard
ened off. Many are having the
usual losses from over heat or chill.
Do not open your box of chickens
till you get them in a warm
place. One party was said to have
showed his to several others parties
. along the road. Fear he has regreted
it. So far as I can find out we are
doing as well or better than any
other part of the State. Meaning that
the knowledge of handling baby
chickens is more common.
Soybean orders will be sent off
g^about the fifteenth. If you wish to
"Jrbuy now, and through me hand me
your order in a definite manner.
Prices are not likely to go up, from
what I can learn, but rather down.
That is- why I have not been in a hur
ry
Enos McCall of Glouster takes a
car of lime this year. Last years re
sults with part of a car was so pleas
ing, that he is planning on liming all
his farm during the next few years.
"Let his tribe increase."
Potatoes are being planted at this
time, but the lack of seed is cutting
the acreage. Glad so many people are
trying a few, and hope some day they
will grow enough to market in car
loads, and many car loads.
The real estate men and our truck
growers are not doing so much busi
ness. The man who ha* (riven cor.
siderable attention to truck has made
-the most money and consequently is
hard to move.
Tom Surrett will farm the Frank
J. Case place this year. L. F. Lyday
in reporting on sick sow, which we
conclude was down with kidney trou
ble, says that plenty of good butter
milk brought her out and now the
proud mother of ten pigs.
Chas. Graveley, of East Fork, call
ed to tell me that he was doing con
siderable veterinary work in his sec
tion. Any man who will study and fit
himself to doctor stock in a small
way or larger, is a great asset to a
community. Very often a little at
tention at the right time saves an
animal. I for one thank him and oth
ers like him, and anytime I can will
be glad to swap experiences, that the
people may benefit by it.
Spraying for the scale and body
diseases of the trees is now in pro
gress. Porter Morgan, Flem Glaz
ener, T. F. Galloway, Camp Illahee,
Hill Paxton, Mrs. Armstrong, have
finished the first spray. The next on,
for apples comes just when a ma
jority of the bloom buds are out <>u'.
not open. This spray is for the ap;>i.<
scab, and licc. Three to four peu;: is
of lime sulphur ;o fifty icall *?s i< '
the mixture we are using for thi'
second spray. Peach tree;, wait this
time.

Tennessee, Virginia, New York,
Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, Mich
i igan, Texas and North Carolina.
With the exception of our own
! state, South Carolina and Florida

Not only do the foreign tags show
that strangers are in our midst, ba.
also the numbers of strange facet,
seen on the streets every day are a j
strong evidence of the fact, ano j
judging from thriving activities
among all real estate dealers in th;
town, these people, or at least, r,
great many of them, are here for
the purpose of buying Transylvania
property. j

WOMANS BUREAU
HOLDS MEETING
The Woman's Bureau met in reg
ular monthly session Monday after
noon in the Chamber of Commerce
room, with the president, Mrs. 0
L. Erwin, presiding.
Secretary Alexander, of the |
Chamber of^ommerce, was pres
ent and suggested different methods
of advertising to be used in the
clean-up campaign, which is to be
sponsored by the Woman's Bureau
with the assistance of the Chamber
of Commerce. It was voted to ac
cept the offer of the board of alder
men to contribute $50 toward the
advertising campaign for clean-up
week, and to authorize the Chamber
of Commerce to order such adver
tising material as will be necessary
for a successful clean-up campaign.
Since weather conditions were not
favorable for the clean-up campaign
to take place the first week in April,
the Bureau voted to conduct the
campaign the latter part of April,
making of it an intensive, town
wide affair, with the expectatioi. '
that the benefits thereby derived
will last beyond the prescribed week.
It was decided to have a called
meeting on Wednesday afternoon '
of next week to discuss and carry
out final details relative to clean-up
week. The meeting will be held in
the Chamber of Commerce room at

AUTHORITIES ASK
CO-OPERATION IN
CITY PAVING WORK
Engineers in charge of the city
paving work request that prop; 'ty
owners along the streets to be .n
eluded in the paving program as.?ist
in the work by staking off the space
where driveways are to run into the
property from the street. The
engineers in charge state that this
slight effort on the part of residents
would aid materially in their pavini
work, and would at the same time
uv.'id any danger of later re-adju.-t
IVU'Ilt.
It is also requested by the author
ities that the general public use a
little more care and judgment in ob
serving the barricades placed around
the newly poured concrete on side
walks and streets. It is quite ossei:
tial that no traveling be made over
newly laid concrete, and those i!'
charge make the request that all bar
ricades be left where placed unti
removed by proper authorities.
The pouring of concrete was
started this week to resume the
paving work which has been delayed
for several months due to the cold
and inclement weather. The engi
neers in charge state that all th<
paving of all streets and sidewalk
to be included in the paving program j
throughout the town will be pushed !
through to completion now as rapidly
as possible.

Chamber of Commerce
Is Aiding Community
Thoroughness appears to be the i
watch-word of the Brevard Chamber ?
of Commerce. Matters pertaining I" !
civic welfare and the improvement !
of thq community are discussed i;i 1
the open meetings of the Directors
before being given to a committee, |
which is usually composed of" m? |
familiar with the subject or who j
have expressed an interest in i;. j
When they report back to thi Di
rectors at a following meeting, it if
with an intelligent understanding of
the matter accompanied by a coin
prehensive plan to carry out th de
tails of the original thought.
This completeness was particular
ly emphasized when the Clean-up
Paint-up Campaign was being con
sidered. Backing the movement
sponsored annually by the W omen
Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce
voted funds for the expense of dis
play advertising t? be used in crest
ing a greater interest in the cleanli
ness and general appearance of the
town, a movement which promises ti.
be a big factor in giving Brevard a
prominent place among the cities and
towns of Western North Carolina.
When the purpose of the Clean-up
Paint-up Campaign were emplane'!
to the aldermen, that body immed
iately saw in the plan a real servic.
to the community and promptly aii
thorized the necessary funds to car
ry out the suggestions of the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Of equal importance to the
tire county is the movement bein:>
sponsored by the Chamber of Com
merce to ci e:ite better health con
ditions. For the past month toe
subject has ben discussed in th
meetings of the directors. At rue
day's evening session the cominiUc
previously appointed to conu.uin
cate with the State Board of Ilea-,
made a most interesting report. V.'

THE PRAYER CORNER
THE GENTLENESS OF THE
SPIRIT
"Tho fruit of the Spirit is Gentks.
ness." ? Gal. 5:22. ,
Gentleness is a quality which tlwi
Holy Spirit possesses and imparts at
our own experience ought to Imv-i
convinced us
"And His is that gentle Voice
hear
Soft as the breath of even."
So gentle is His action that unless,
we give good heed we may remain
for long periods unaware of it. J l<r
is forever which is in reality t h??
mightest force in all the universe,
acts for the most part ? unperceivcd
by the world. Readily grieved, yef.
patiently persistent, the Good Spirit;
of Grace is forever at work upon
and within the souls of men, illumin
ating, convincing, quickening, com
forting. There is reason to think
that much of the work is done be
low the level of our normal con
sciousness, in the mysterious region
where memories arc gathered, ami.
convictions are moulded, and where
the impulses that prompt our activ
ities have their beginnings. Who
can measure the delicacy of all th---?
processes of vital growth? Ilow
marvelous the gentleness that is ever
so acting as not to interfere with
our freedom, while it wins with infin
ite patience the concurrence of our
wills. It would be strange indeed,
of those who are quickened and led
by the Spirit were not made partak
ers of His Gentleness.
To them it is clear that if there
are earthly reasons, there are still
stronger heavenly reasons for gentle ?
ness. "The servants of the l.oni."
argues the apostle, "must br Z. -
And who can gainsay the aiguinein?
If the Master is gentle, tin- <ctvai>
who acts for Him, and i.-. ri?:n:.r
sioncd to represent Him, MUST IL-I
GENTLE. While it is true that ? ?>
one will ever be so gentle a.s God,
it is true also that the effort to
Godlike in- this respect is certain t.?
be rewarded, even to a very real
measure of success. Even to dtsin:
this grace is to have taken a g
step towards its attainment.
We are bound then to ask our
selves the question ? are we gentle
We say, "Speak gently, it is belli r
far," but do we always try to spea!,
gently? Are our thoughts genii--?
Is our spirit gentle? Can it be sain,
as we grow older, we grow gentler?
We must not be deterred by our
failures. If we humbly ask for ill '
help that we need, we shall iind '.ii-V
our Great Head is ever longing i <
incline our hearts to keep His ow:i
most beautilful and gracious lai\ ?i
Gentleness.
