FARM NEWS
By L. A. AMMON
"V Blackleg
A call to the Lake, Sunday led to
the discovery of a real case of
blackleg- No question about it. The
People have been warned. Friday
H be round-up and vaccination
The trouble is seated in the lake
^bed and in free territory, and is in
good condition to spread, and lead
to much loss unless vaccination is
. done soon.
If you have any late cabbage
plants to spare let it be known, as
the drought caused poor germination
and we are decidedly short on
plants. Can order from Georgia at
reasonable prices. ;
Seems that we will not be able to
get any soy beans. Looks as if we
have "had a rotten lieal and it packed
^ the railroad. Seed houses have ?
none for sale at any pi-ice. My ad
vice is to save the land for rye or ,
sow in buckwheat. Buckwheat will .
sell for a good price if we can get .
enough to market.
Not much interest being manifest ,
in clover and grass seeds as yet. ,
The wholesale houses say that they |
have hopes of making cheaper j
prices after July first. Let's hope i
so.
Time for late bean seed to
be coming in. Have you made ar-l
rangements for yours? Remember (
that every one is very busy, and you
have to look after your wants with
more care than usual if you do not
want delays.
The first order of celery plants'
were fair, and ten thousand more
have been ordered. Several thou- ^
sand of these have not been spoken '
for and will be for sale. Let s try
celery for sure one time, and I be
lieve we will later be growing many
acres of this thousand dollar per
acre crop. ' |
Hurrah for Miss Walker and her
clubs! that intend to put this
county on the map at the State
meeting at Raleigh next week.
Never, never! saw such corn as
we have this year. Great big flat
stalks, that are so green that they
are almost black. And the way it'
is growing. So good that about
every farmer in the county feels
that he has as good if not the best
corn in the- county. One feels good
to see the feeling so widespread.
Good preparation of seed bed ajid
high grade fertilizers is largely to
blame. If we get rains some corn
belt State will have to hustle for
honors.. Certainly cannot beat us
n?w.~ , , '
A certain lady has a brood sow
with thirteen pigs. To beat East
Fork or Connestee she is feeding
fi,h meal and other milk producmg
feeds to push those pigs out of
reach of any honor claimers. Fish
meal or tankage is the thing to do
it with. Luck to all who try their
best.
mounted heads attract
ATTENTION in BREVARD BANK i
Some twenty mounted heads of
?w elk and moose are now most,
Attractively arranged on the inter
ior walls of the Brevard Banking
company, and are attracting wide
spread attention in the un.que and

doubtful if another bank of like
size in the state, or possibly m the
entire country, can boast of such at
tractive, valuable and novel inter
relations as greet the .ye of
hose entering the bank. The walls
,nd ceiling have been freshly painted
? ivory white, which forms the
proper background for the handsome

BAND CONCERT TO BE
GIVEN MONDAY, JULY 5
The municipal band will give a
free concert in the band stand from
11 to 12 o'clock on Monday, July 5.
The regular schedule for band
concerts was resumed this week,
with one held on Tuesday night and
another to be given Friday night.
It is probable, however, that no
concerts will be given next week,
due to the revival to be held next
week at the Baptist church. After
that it is expected that the regular
||>i-weekly concerts will be given
throughout -the remainder of the
summer.
MISS WALKER'S CLUB
MEMBERS TO ATTEND
MEETING IN RALEIGH
ALL MEMBERS ARE WORKING
TO ASSIST DELEGATES
Better than four hundred boys
and girls in Miss Walkerls Home
Economics clubs are working un
selfishly to send some of their
number to the State short course
next week. Already prospects of
ten going seem sure.
The five days outing at the State
College with its varied program is
every club member's ambition to at
tend at sometime. To be sure all
can not go but those who cannot are
not selfish about it, but are helping
raise money to send some one who
can pay part of their own way.
Box suppers, ice cream socials,
and entertainments have been go
ing on for some time to raise money.
Some have raised the necessary 25
or 30 dollars so one of their num.
ber could go, oti.ers have sent in
down to five dollars to help. ,
A number of girls will pay their
own way, except that they will be
taken to Biltmore and returned
from there on the evening of the
tenth. All will catch the special
Western North Carolina car at Bilt
more, where they wfll join the
others. At Asheville, a Home
Agent and County Agent will be
put in charge of the car, that all
may go well.
Some two thousand club members '
are expected at the State meeting, j
and some real time they will have, j
The meeting of the real cream of the
State, and our future officers and
leaders. State College feels that
nothing is too good for such a prom
ising crowd, so you can bet oh them
having a real interesting program.
The train leaves Biltmore at tl
o'clock, reaching Raleigh at 9:30
p.m. On the tenth it leaves Raleigh
at the morning hour and reaches
Biltmore at 8:10 p.m. Cars will be
at Biltmore to bring the crowd to
Hendersonville, and Brevard, where
parents are expected to meet them.
The pity of it all is that all who
have done good work cannot go. It
is ever thus, and no way seems pos
sible to get them there. To those
who stay, belong a word of praise,
that they have helped make it pos
sible for their friends to go.

trial Monday morning. Ralph R.
Fisher was counsel for the defense.
Will Marchant was also bound

M'LEAN ADVOCATES
VOCATIONAL AGRI.
i
GOVERNOR URGES MORE AT
TENTION TO FARMING
By J. A. Glazener
The rural teachers, especially
those teaching vocational agricul
ture, have the greatest opportunity
of any people in the state in help
ing to solve the great problems of
agriculture, declared Governor Mc
Lean in an address last Friday to
the summer school at State College.
The governor stated as to home
needs our country was very well
balanced in agricultural and man
ufacturing, but in terms of the
world need the situation was seri
ous. "With an enormus surplus of
cotton the price of which is fixed
must be done to take of the situa
tion. Conditions now must be handl
ed in a different manner to what
they were in pre-war days," said
the governor.
"Farmers must learn to think
about their problems and work out
a solution. We must learn to think
of education in broader terms than
the restricted academic sense."
said Governor McLean. Hie futh
er stated that one of the present
day needs was scientific training to
go along with practical experience.
"Our people need to be taught to
become more poultry minded, more I
dairy minded and if need be, more
hog minded," said he.
These are but a few of the out
standing points brought out by the
governor with the idea of stimulating
teachers in the state to the acting
point of doing things to help solve
the agricultural problems, not only
of North Carolina, but of the na
tion; "for the agricultural prob
lems," said the governor, "outweigh
the other problems of the State to
day."

ings has taken special work a Bell- j
vue hospital, New York City, and

METHODIST REVIVAL
CLOSES SUNDAY NIGHT
The two weeks' revival services
held at the Methodist church by
the evangelist, Dr. Thurston B.
Price, came to a close Sunday night,
with a powerful and appealing fare- 1
well sermon on the Unpardonable
Sin.
Dr. Price proved himself not only
a gifted orator, great in his simpli- ?
city and in his ability to present the 1
Gospel truths with such clearness
and thoroughness as is seldom heard
in a man of like calling, but also
proved to his hearers that he is a '
consecrated Christain gentleman, j
filled with the spirit of God and with :
a consuming passion for souls of the
unsaved or backsliders. He greatly
endeared himself to the people of j
Brevard during his short stay here.
The song leader, J. C. Coston, of
Hendersonville, and the pianist,
Miss Daniels, of Mars Hill, with their
musical ability and apparent con- I
fsecration, were both instrumental to ,
a large extent in the success of the
meeting. j
While the success of the meeting
cannot bemeasured altogether by the :
number of accessions to the church,
which at the present have been com
partively few in number, still a
greater proof perhaps, was evident
in the renewed consecration among (
church members and the general up
lift to the people of the community.
A neat sum was presented the evan
gelist, before his departure, a vol
untary contribution from members
j of all denominations of the town in
i token of their appreciation of his (
| untiring services of the past two
| weeks.

THE PRAYER CORNER
INDEPENDENCE DAY
How can we best serve th< inter
ests of our beloved country?
By upholding the cause of True
Religion and working and praying
for civic righteousness. What our
country needs most is True "Christ
ianity.
As Dr. Martensen wrote : "The
inmost and deepest interest >f hu
manity is not culture, but n.--ralily
and religion. Humanity can neither
be delivered from its limitations,
nor come to a true knowledge of
itself without Christianity - - -More
over, every nation of humanity
which is not the Christian one, is
more or less affected with falsehood.
Hence the truly humanistic state is
one and the same with the Christian
state."
In an address before the New
York Historical Society, Daniel Web
ster, the great American statesman,
said: "If we and our posterity shall
be true to the Christian religion ; if
we and they shall live always in tlio
fear of God, and shall respect Mis
commandments; if we anil they shall
maintain just moral sentiments and
such conscientious convictions of
duty as shall control the heart anil
life, we may have the highest hopes
of the future for times v.r i"ii*
country, and if we maintai: those
institutions of our govern nv-- *. ami
that political union, exceeding :ill
praise as much as it exceeds all
former examples of political i.-.oeia
tions, we may be sure of one
thing ? that while our country fur
nishes material for a thousand mas
ters of the historic art, it will be no
topic for a Gibbon, it will hfcve no
decline or fall, it will go on pros
pering and to prosper. Hut if
and our posterity reject religious in
struction and authority, violate the
rules of eternal justice, trifle wii.li
the injunctions of morality, and
recklessly destroy the politic}; con
stitution which holds us togei ner
no man can tell how sudden .'t ca
tastrophe may overwhelm u.-., that
shall bury all our glory in profound
obscurity."
O beautiful for Patriot drear.1
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America,! America!
God shed His grace on ; V'-\
And crown thy good with brother
hood
From sea to shining sea.!
A PAYER FOR INDEPENDENCE
DAY
Ruler of rulers, King of ;;ings,
we come before Thee in reverence
(and humility, recognizing the au
thority that can alone moul<! and
make nations, principalities and
powers that shall be of service to
the world, and satisfying to the
children of men. And if we boar
before Thee at this time special pe
tition for our own beloved land, we
know Thou wilt not refuse to hear.
We believe it is Thy land, called
of Thee to do a special work, to ad
vance a larger light, to promo> a
higher principle, to bring in the
privilege and blessing that- come
from true liberty, and a closcr rec
ognition of the bond that makes all
men one. Teach us, 0 Father, that
this bond can only exist in the
faithful following of Thy Son, .lessus
Christ, our Lord.
Increase this knowledge among
us, that we may indeed stand be
fore the nations of the earth, and
be a true example of those gre.-st es
sentials for which our father-, will
ingly gave life and the possessions
dearer than life. With this know
ledge, pour out upon U:", i'ie spirit
of a great love. Give us Thyself:
all that Christ lived, may it be ours
to attempt for loves sake.
Then truly shall our com. try bo
owner of the righteousness, tin
honor, the truth that make.-, men
free, owner too, of justice, honor,
integrity, promoter of that mighty
force that is one day to bring all
the nations of the earth to know
Thee, whom to know aright is Life
Eternal.
And when Thou art done with u:i
all here, let the new birthday bo
the entrance to that land, where
the things we sought here and saw
only darkly, shall be revealed in
the light that is to be ours forever
more. In Jesus' name, we ask it,
iwifln ? C. I). Li.
