FARM NEWS
(By L. A. AMMON)
All Mountain County Agents were
called to the Experiment Station at
Swannanoa, on Tuesday to go over
the farm in detail, and be able in
the future, to tell farmers what is
being done, and the drift of re
Suits. They are very conservative,
and will not let us print what would
seem to be sure results, till the
tests have been made for several
years ? Can talk all we please.
Cam Harre*ting
Almost before we know it we
will be in the corn fields saving
what has been made. Experiments
over many years and at many sta
tions show a loss of 17 percent in
yield of corn, where tops are cut and
fodder pulled, compared with cut
\ ting the stalk at the ground, and
shredding or husking from stalk, as
much of the Middle West is done.
Figures from our own farmers
show that it takes more labor to d?
it the old way, and that the stover
will feed about twice as many cat
tle. [
Groups of farmers should own a
shredder, and swap work in shred
ding, and the money side is very
small. I am ready to help organize
such groups, when advised of a
chance.
The Home Agent is enjoying a
few days vacation.
The man in charge of incubation
of baby chickens at the test farm,
said that too much moisture was the
one biggest trouble in getting chick
ens out of the shells last Spring.
They cut down the moisture, and
added more air and got as high as
70 percent hatches from same eggs,
jn two incubators that were side by
side.
Sprouted oats were the next best
thing in giving good hatches. Those
who fed them, here, made the best
hatches. Late discoveries claim that
sprouted oats have an unusual effect
on fertility in other animals.
The Station incubator man pre
dicts better hatching results next
Spring, due to more green feeds
this Fall. - 1
Western North Carolina County
Agents have shipped in 70 purebred
dairy bulls during the last four
months, and about two hundred cows
and heifers. The best -time to buy
is during the next three months, as
farmers will sell cheaper rather
than carry through Winter.
Home grown water melons will
soon be on the market, and I hope
the people will be thoughtful of the
man who is trying out in this new
field. Mr. Berryman, of the old
Zachary place, promises to have
some excellent melons, and the
French Broad quality is in them.
Mr. Berryman is an experienced
grower, coming from Georgia. Let's
get behind him and make it a profit
able business for a man to supply
his home trade.
Rye market quiet, all Agents re
port no inquiries by farmers. Cot.
ton being late is given as the reason.
DON'T GIVE PROMISCOUSLY TO
CHARITY
(By Wayne A Monroe)
We are trying to . put Brevard's
Associated Charities on a sound
basis and if all citizens will co-op
erate it can be done.
When you have a call of mercy
that will be covered by the Associ
ated Charities get in touch with
some of the ministers or Mr. Wayne
A. Monroe, who investigates all cases
before aid is given.
There are people who come to the
Associated Charities who are worthy:
we help them. There are those who
are not worthy of aid and through
the Associated Charities we are able
to detect such.
The first Monday in October will
be the day to send your discarded
clothing to the Associated Charities.
-This is how you can do this: Any
old clothing that you are not going
to need for the winter, and that are
not worn out will do.
See that they are CLEAN. Wrap
them tip or place them in a box and
deliver to Mr. Monroe. If you can
not deliver them call him. His
phone is 86.
BREVARD PHARMACY MOVES
" TO NEW HOME ON EAST MAIN
The Brevard Pharmacy, under the
ownership and management of J. B.
Pickelsimer, is moving this week
into the new Pickelsimer building On
East Main street.

TRANSPORTATION FURNISHED
TO AND FROM PICNIC
GROUNDS
Committees from the Chamber of
Commerce and the Kiwanis Club
met in final conference on Wednes
day afternoon and perfected plans
f?r the biggest out-door gathering
that Brevard has ever attempted for
the entertainment of her visitors.
The boarding houses and hotels are
co-operating in every way in effort
to create an interest in the affair
among their guests. Business houses
have expressed an intention to close
early enough to permit all employes
to attend the picnic supper between
five and six o'clock and -the individ
ual interest is the only thing neces
sary to make the "Get-together-Day"
and Basket Picnic of Thursday,
August 26th, the crowning event of
Brevard's summer vacation season
of 1926.
As stated in last week's News, the
picnic will be held on the lawn of
the Brevard Country Club. No bet
ter location could have been se
lected for this function. Just a
few minutes drive from town it is
within easy reach of those who are
unable to leave their business until
late and in many cases little more
time will be required to get to the
picnic than to go home for supper.
Every citizen is interested in creat
ing a good impression of Brevard
among the summer vacationists and
all should join in this half-holiday
to demonstrate to our visitors that
Brevard is a friendly little city.
The comforts of the club house
will attract many who for years have
had to forego the pleasures of a
picnic dinner in the woods. Easy
chairs on the spacious verandas
await those for whom the rigorous
picnic day has lost its charm. No
walking or climbing for those who
wish a quiet day and an abundance
of that exercise over the adjacent
meadows, valleys and mountains for
the more energetic.
A practice driving tee and putting
green have been installed on the
club house lawn where beginners
may have a lesson in the "Royal
and Ancient Game.'" Lawn games
that can be conveniently -handled to
and from the picnic may be brought
for the entertainment of the chil
dren.
Ample provision has been made
for the transportation of those who
do not have cais. Comfortable au
tos will be available at 1:00 o'clock
in the afternoon at the office of the
Chamber of Commerce and will call
at home for any within a reason
able distance, who find it inconven
ient to go to the office. Return
transportation wil lalso be provided.
Provision has been made with the
boarding houses and hotels for the
picnic dinner of each guest in a
most convenient way. A suitable
meal will be prepared at the hotel
or boarding house for each person
attending the picnic and will be
taken to the club house by a repre
sentative of the respective houses. In
the event transportation is needed
for the baskets, the same should be
sent to the office of the Chamber* of
Commerce early on Thursday after
noon. At the picnic the contents of
all baskets will be put together and
the dinner served at one large
group. It will not be necessary for
anyone to bring coffee. This will be
provided at the Country Club and
made in the kitchen of the club
house. Cream and sugar may be
brought by those who desire it.
A letter from the Chamber of
Commerce and the Kiwanis Club
inviting the visitors to the picnic
was mailed to the seventy-nine
boarding houses, hotels and rooming
houses that are listed with the Cham
ber of Commerce and for the benefit
of those who did not receive invita
tion, the letter is given herewith.
Every visitor in Brevard and the
community is cordially invited to
come and every citizen is urged to

PENROSE, MONDAY
HAD BEEN DEAD MORE THAN
AN HOUR WHEN FOUND
B. A. Frady, of the Penrose section,
was found dead Monday afternoon at
his home. He had been on a scaffold

struck by lightning.
He had apparently been dead an
hour or more when his body was dis
covered.
Funeral services were conductcd
from the home Wednesday afternoon
and interment was in Davidson Riv2r

NEGRO ATTEMPTS THEFT OF
MISS MARY GALLOWAY'S PURSE
A negro man attempted theft of
the pocketbook Miss Mary Galloway
was carrying in her hand Monday
night about nine 'o'clock, when . she
and her mother, Mrs. Georgia Gallo
way, were walking from their home
on Caldwell street to the Clemson
theatre, a distance of one block.
Miss Galloway's presence of mind
and coolness prevented the theft, in
that she held tightly to the pocket
book, and the negro passed on without
accomplishing his attempted feat.
Officers were summoned and a thor
ough search was made, but the man
had made his get-a-way. The negro
is thought to be a stranger here, but
Mrs. Galloway feels certain she
would be able to identify him, as
she saw him plainly as he passed
them on the sidewalk. The officers
later brought a negro man to the
theatre for Mrs. Galloway and her
laughter to identify, but he proved
the wrong party.

THE PRAYER CORNER
OUR COMPANION BY THE WAY
"They two went on" (Kings 2;6>
There are always the two ? you
and your Lord ? going on together.
We have union with Him in our
common humanity. He wore a body
such as ours. He became math.
As my finger is united to my fc.md,
so are we united to our Lord .T-esus
Christ. It is not a dream. We arc
dealing with an objective fact.
The body worn by the Son of God
is, and ever will be the object of
our most tender reverence. Behold
my Hands and my Feet. Those sac
red hands that blessed so many and
farmed none ? that were laid gently
on the heads of little children, and
oonsecrated with all the works and
miracles of the 'three and thirty
years; those Sacred Hands that lift
ed up the Blessed Sacrament in the
upper room at Jerusalem; those Sac
red Hands that are still stretched
forth in pardon, though we see them
not.
And His Feet ? as He moved about
in Joseph's shop or fetched the
water for His mother, Mary, from
the well; the Sacred Feet that left
their impress in the waves of Galli
lee's lake and that the Magdalene
bathed with her tears ? those Feet,
as they bore Him ? the Elder Broth
er of the human race ? on His mis
sions of mercifulness and love. "How
beautiful upon the mountains are the
Feet .of our Brother ? that bringeth
good -tidings, that pulisheth peace."'
He was wounded in His Hands,
and in His Feef. When we suffer
pain we have union with Him..
What a help it is to us, as life goes,
on, and in one way or another we
are hurt, to be able to call to mind
that our Elder Brother has been
hurt too. "They pierced my Hands
and my Feet." We are joint heirs
with Christ, if so be that we suffer
with Him. "They two went on."
