PARK ADVOCATE
LAMBASTS PRATT
Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, formerly
with the forestry division o{ the
State government, but who is re
ported now to be lobbying agtiitist
the Great Smoky National Park, has
brought down upon his head much
severe criticism.
Following is a copy of a night
letter said to have been sent to Mr.
Pratt by Charles James Metz, which
? no^ only. " .s<Jve*e criticism on Mr.
Pratt s activities, but is also a great
boost for the Park. The telegram
follows:
February 15, 1927.
Joseph Hyde Pratt,,
Asheville, N. C.
I hope the reports that you are
opposing passage of State Bond Is.
sue for the purchase of lands for
the Great Smoky National Park arc
unfounded. Heretofore you have
stood for the spiritual things of life.
To establish the Great Smoky Na
tional Park will be to obtain the
p-eatest source of spiritual and men
tal good for millions of the people
of the South. From a purely mater
ial standpoint North Carolina and.
the South will make many more dol
lars by conserving this Great Smoky
Mountain Shrine of nature than by
turning it over to commercial inter
ests. We fully understand how at
torneys for Commercial interest*,'
oppose the park but we cannot un
derstand why you should oppose' ifi

MANY INTERESTED
IN BANK'S PLAN
Mr. -Shopman's Offer to As&ist in
Stocking County Mect6 with
Great Response
(By L. A. Amnion)
The. Brevard Hanking company,
through Mr, Shipman, hit a respon
sive chord win n they aniMimcvd
their help in .securing more. brood
sows. Letter* from outsiders have
already .come, stating some im.ere.-l
in the program.
In short, the plan is this, if -you
wish a brood sow, and can not pay
lor Ik r now, but i'eej that you ean
a year from now, give your Order
to the batik or the County Agent,
You give a bankable - paper and; have
twelve mouths to pay in.
A bred sow bought during. '-the
next twenty days would drop pin.- in
say Muec mouths, which i>_.Juv.-.
These pigs, if properly fed wjl! vyc:^'*

three months until your note is 'l ie.
You can keep them till eight 'months
old when they ought to go 2.*?u
pounds each -at 10c. per pound is
$2 5 each. The average litter of a
.you tig sow is six- ? $150. Tin- cost
of bred gi!ts. /a ill be $3 ft to ?
Tho past week's government t j
port on swine for 1027 is move
favorable than expected. The corn
bolt did not breed any extra num
ber 'luring December past, so the
outlook is not far different from
1026 till late spring of 1928. which
is too far off for a guess in this
quick turn-over class of livestock.
Th- County Agent has plans for
the raising of proper feeds and
marketing of the fat pigs.
First, he takes from the results
of those in other states who hog
down corn, a?.d compares them with
the i- .-ults of Mr. Carson Woodfin of
re-twos , and fint'?:i this plan of.
h: ::?*dir. . ht.-.'?s v*-ry profitable. Mr.
Woodiita planted five" ncr,s of <.o:n
. ,i two acres of Soy' beans. When
mature, slightly more than thirty
head of hogs, (average) were turn
ed in. The cost of the pigs weigh
ing around a hundred on an aver
age, was kept. The corn -and soy
beans were consumed without was*?,
and when the pigs were through not
much more feeding was necessary.
The com and soy beans brought
better than $2.50 per bushel, or
there were over six hundred dollars
worth of pork sold from the corn
and soy beans.
The other method of handling pigs
is the self feeder: Put shelled corn
in one section, shorts in a second,
and tankage in a third, and go away
till empty. They will balance their
own ration, eating about one-fourth
tankage. Mr. Bishop of the Bre
vard Institute, put on better than
4 wo pounds tier day on his lot of
pigs, in several different years
The marketing end comes eas
iest if there are plenty to market,
and all ready at one time. From
ten to thirty ought to be fed per
farm, working under this plan:
more if you wish. E.ighty to 100
fat hogs to the single deck car and
twice the amount for a double deck,
for minium load.
The County Agent will act as go
between in starting off the fatten
ing, the day of loading and the
market to he shipped to with the
bank as helper when needed.
THE PRAYER CORNER
GRACE BEFORE MEALS
The customs ,of Grace before
meals is beautifully natural. Our
fond received daily and at regular
intervals is the most conspicuous
and constant reminder of the
Father's loving care and beneficient
provision for our wants, It means
to us the continuance of life, and
all that life means, or ought to
mean to us. It has been taken tp
int?? the loftiness of all symbolism
? the Bread of . Lifev, the Water of
Life, the Lord's Supper. If at any
time of the day.' public thanksgiving
is to be given to God by 'Our Chri>
tian families, it should be at their
meals.
Grace before meals- is also an ?n
dispensible mode of testimony. 1:
marks off Christian households from
those that are :.ot Chi stiai or nr.
Christian less in devout reality thai,
in name. If visitors are presenj,
declares at once, and* in the m?>'.
