Devoted to the Upbuilding of iTr&nsylvania County) Try a 'Want Ad'? ' They Will [Bring You RESULTS VOL. XXXI BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, SEPTEMBER 9, 1926 No. 35 FARM NEWS (By L A. AMMON) From samples of rye gathered from all parts of the valleys, the Little River section has the best grains of rye. Foddering has started, and corn is maturing out very fast now. An old County Agent from another state wanted to know Tuesday w y we were so far behind in the han ling of our corn crop. He admitted that we had some real corn, but hated to see it mistreated by cutting the tops and pulling the leaves off j below the ears. Another thing he , was missing was the lack of silos. The latest in silos is to dig a trench about eight or ten feet wide at the bottom and two feet wider at top, and as long as you want for|, your stock. Run your corn through the ensilage cutter and fill the trench. From six to ten inches will rot on top if packed well. That J"e" ; low will be the best of feed. The , trench can be covered or if protec | ed from falling in, left open. ^ Springy soil to be avoided. | ] If you have considerable barn., space you can pull off the matured j, ears, put the stalks in the silo and . . the ears on?the floor to dry. If y?uj, once, feed silage you will never want to keep stock without it. Ask Ever ett Talley what he will take for hit , silo and not be allowed to buy an- ^ other. "Quit farming," was the answer he gave me. ( Mr. J. S. Bromfield has put good j business sense into the selection, , setting and growing of an ideal ( home orchard. Apples from early , to late, same in peaches, pears, ( plums, apricots, cherries, English , walnuts, pecans, and the small , fruits such as strawberries, raspber- , ries, currants, gooseberries, and all ? the rest I can't think of. Complete ( to the last variety. Some are an ] experiment, but most of the work ( is on solid ground for the varieties ( are known an dtested here. 1 ( Mr. Bromfield used a handful of , soda to the tree this past Spring ^ and a light dressing of manure. The , trees have made excellent growth, 1 ^ and one can hardly believe that we ( measured one peach . limb that has ^ grown six feet and eight inches this ; year, with more^to go. Mr. T. A.,. English has done about the same. ? ^ We need more of these complete j home orchards started. | , The rye inquiries are coming i ( much faster, and samples are going j out We are looking for orders m | every mail now. Hold to one and a ? half or above is my advice. Expect . demand to la?t till November of : this year. _ P The Western North Carolina Fair^ starts November ninth. We ought j ' to plan on taking some of our best to | this fair, as it will be cheaper than | having one at home. I know some ] that are planning on entering the . j poultry shows. Chas. Ashworth produced a sweet |1 pepper that weighed three-fourths j 1 of a pound, and no one has shown .( a larger one. I SLIGHT INJURIES MONDAY j' NIGHT BY AUTO COLLISION S jl W. A.

The remains were buried in a small cem jtery near the place where the body was found immediately after the i search ended, the utter decomposed ' state necessitating quick burial. Testimony at the coroner's in-, juest was such as to require the , holding of Louey Whitmire as a suspect, with the movements of the , two young Petit boys not made ( :lear on the day Masters was last ; seen; therefore, the holding for preliminary hearing of all three. Although no additional arrests had been made Wednesday morning, :lose followers of the case are of the opinion that at least one or pos- 1 sibly two more will be made follow ing the preliminary hearing Thurs- j lay. ! Out of the score of witnesses summoned to the coroner's inquest, ' jnly six were heard, as follows: Coy Whitmire, at whose home j Masters boarded ; Rural Policeman i E. L.

Arthur Petit told of being with Masters on the day he was last seen, of their having and drinking whiskey, and of last seeing Whit mire and Masters together. Ben Masters, nephew of Jesse, was the only witness who positively identified parts of the clothing worn j by Masters as the same found on the body. He was positive of the j hat and shirt being the same.

It is the Armour of God because He provides it. Our Captain does not send His Soldiers out without furnishing them all the equipment they need, but the soldier must i?ut on the armour. Armour hanging on the wall would not protect a man as he went to battle: he must take it down, and put it on. There is armour provided for tv ?ry Christian soldier. The Bible is ? great armoury, and there are in it all manner of weapons of offense and defense. But it is not enough to have these pieces of armour. SV? must put them on. The breatsplate. the shield, and the helmet will be an protection unless we wear them. We must put on the armour our selves ? even Christ will not do it for us. Every soldier must loot to his own preparation for warfare. God's armour is essential because "our wrestling is not against flesh and blood but against the principal ities." Perhaps the air is as full ?>f spirits as the streets are of people It is well to understand we have ea .emies we cannot see. There are bail men and women. Sometimes we see on the street a face which is fuO of evil. Every look revealing wick edness and vileness. There are invisible beings alt about us with their loatbsomness. They are demons of Satans army. If it were not that Christ had over come Satan and all his hosts this world would be a fearful world tt? live in. But they are not all ???*'! spirits ? demons, that crowd the air ? good angels are there, too, guard ing Christs little ones, and they arc stronger than demons. Neverthe less we must not underage our ene mies. A PRAYER FOR THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD O God of All Power and Mi*rl?t. make us strong ? strong in ti*r strength the Bible makes so much vf ? strength of character, firmness of ; purpose, staunchness of princifWf., 'moral strength. Teach us that tiic secret of it is faith in Christ. If \vr are in Him then all His strength assured us to fill- our weakness. Help us to put on the Whole Ar mour of God, for \vhat is carttiJy 'armour against a spiritual foe? witav ! can man's strength or prudence avail against a more than human enemy? "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against prirtci palities, against powers, againak the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Shew us that what these unsren enemies aim at is the souls life. They do not assail the body, but tht life of grace. They desire to tear from us Thy favour, a pure con science, a hope of heaven. They re inforce our own natural frailty vrift evil suggestions. Thank God, we do not need to , fear them. They have been cast out of heaven themselves, and would fain drag us down too. But Thou.. | Our Lord, art almighty. Nothing j can tear us from Thine arms if I will to be Thine. O dear Ix>rd t/ur frailty and the devil's might, only make us cling closer to Thee! He$|? us then to take unto ourselves Thy Whole Armour, that we may be to stand in file evil day and having done all, to stand, Btrong in Thy strength and in the power of Thy might. And Thine shall be thft praise, and the honor, and the glory, now and forever, Amen. ? ? C. D. GV W. A.
