The speaker said he ; traveled constantly, his work taking j him into more than two score states, ! and declared that North Carolina has more to offer the investor or the prospective resident than any other state in the union. There are more good roads, congenial men, beauti ful women and bright school boys and girls than can be found in any other state. The matter of marking the streets was left with the following commit tee: Brown Carr, Bob Garrett, and Pat Kimzey. President Tom Summey was pres ent, and presided at the meeting.

Grav- 1 cly.of East t ork, docs the sanu*. i Pile tha potatoes up in piles of three to five bushels, cover to make them sweat. When in a good sweat. I uncover and scatter, and let drv.

I and treat them as Irish potatoes, ex- I cept to cover deeper, when select- 1 ing and digging avoid rough hand-! ling, and any tnat the milk does not 1 s;al cuts, throw them out. Any way you can dry the potato out is alright, and then keep where 1 it is dry and very little change in! temperature. In looking over the fertilizer plots at the County Farm, 1 noticed that : where acid alone was used there was . much more corn "down: An examin- < ation of the stalks showed that where as much as four percent pot ash was used, the stalks were much ' smoother, and harder. The pith well ! matured, and lots of spaces, indicat- ' ing that it was drawn in a bundle | for strength. In the plots receiving . only acid the stalks were rough, 1 pith soft and full, and many stalks doubled over. Looking at the ears I found that ? ?v0 percent of the ears where potash nys-: vticd v," ere wo!! matured, while ' W percent where only acid \v;;s used were slightly chaffy. Thr Dixie soy bean led the list of ; soy beans planted, with Hermon sec- ' ond, and many around third. The bist for seed yield was the Dixie, second the Virginia Brown. The best to hold leaves, and that part was decided, the Old Dominion, a child of the Virginia. It was dead ripe and practically all the leaves were yet present. The Mammoth Yellow footed the list for this year. It will not do good on wet years, i The Loredas that we used this year j ure good mediums. Jimmie Whitmire has forty head of Guernsey and Jersey heifers, hopes to be able to meet the market demands this coming spring. Five farmers in the county, including the County Home, have over a hundred heifers of these two breeds. Mr. Everett has a problem. Has ' two large silos full of silage, seven teen stacks of good soy bean hay, with more than three tons to the stack, and 190 acres of corn cut and : to shred, and the stover for feed, j Plans on ordering several cars of | feeders, and many hope he will add some dairy heifers. The heifers are ' easily sold in car lots. I Law is not the only thing Lewis Hamlin can juggle. He is getting; over six dozen eggs per dav from I his 200 White Leghorns pullets. C. C. Yongue culled his flock of j I cghorns Saturday. A few of those very small white legged ones [ w?,re killed for whatever they might j furnish as information as to why , they were not large, and ready to ; lay. Evidence was largely worms, j including tape worms. Ask Mr. J. , A. Glazener, he counttfi for awhile, i Mr. Burnett, of the Rosman High | school, is making out ms agricultur- , al program for his section, and I j predict a mighty solid foundation for the work. Not enough corn has been bought to establish a local price as yet. A j few hard-up people have sold for J 75 cents, while adjoining counties, are srlling for 85 from field. Eighty- j five seems low enough, as there will I no* l?e much move than a ten per- 1 Mr. Breesi-'s mil! has used close to five thousand bushels of corn this and Mr. Breese says he will want s- veral times that for the com ing vear, but vou must keep the w: t V\!s <,ut of it. Otlui markets are the same up to date, a;:.) not much moving. MISS ASHWORTH TO SPEAK AT ENON BAPTIST CHURCH Miss Louise '-.siiworth. a returned r-: onarv fro: India, will meet wi?h the W.

SPECIAL APPEAL MADE TO FARMERS i .i a! 7* being ir .iiio by the lirtvard Associated Charities to the farmcis and poo pit' living out ill the-- county for donations in the form of potatoes, corn or any other non perishable food stuffs to be distribut ed among the needy this winter. Since ii is said that 75 per cent of all chmity in this county has gone to peop.e living in the country (lur ing tilt past two years, the Associa ted Ch: Hies organization feels that it wouif. be fitting this year for those residing iii the country to assist in caring for the less fortunate ones. These i^od products from the farms can be used as well as money, it is stated, and are much .more easily distributed, the association being pre pi. red to take care of any amount that ?. ay be given. Tho- ? desiring to donate any such f prni products are requested to leave same at The Brevard News office, from whit j place they will be dis tributed later to needy parties by the Associated Charities.
