All citizents of Brevard and Tran sylvania County are invited and urg ed by the Brevard Country Club to piny on the course, as the club's guests, during these two weeks. It :s hoped that many hundreds of men aril women will accept the invitation. No formal invitation will be sept anyone. This public invitation is in tended for all citizens, and the mem bers of tht' Country Club will wel come all residents of the county who care to visit the course and play the . game. To those who have never play- ? ed golf, the members extend a hearty invitation, and any member will he J glad to accompany those who do not: know the game and show them how, to get started off. Of course, there will be no charge J made to any of t.he guests during1 these two weeks, as the club mem- ? bers are extending tihis invitation in ? its broadest sense. The course is now I in the best condition it has ever been, and those who have beten wanting to learn something of the game could find no better time or place to play their initial game. . . , The members of the Brevard Country Club would be really delight ed should the course be filled every day during the two weeks with cit-j zens of the county. Many people : here have never been on the course and know nothing of the great amount of work that has been done by the > Country club in preparing a first class ? golf course, primarily for tourists. | The local course is recognized as one of the main essentials to this com-, munity in bringing tourists to Bre vard. ' Mrs. Harry H. Patton will have moved into the club house' before the 15th, and will greet the visitors who ; accept this invitation, . . PROF. JONES MAKES j CLEAR STATEMENT' Superintendent J. B. Jones, of the Brevard schools, issues notice to the ' parents of the school children that the authorities are not sponsoring camping trips for the students, over] night hikes, or any other activities i except such as are duly announced in The Brevard News. The children! in the schools, the superintendent! states, are under the care of their parents from the time ihey reach home from their regular school du ties until they return to the school room on the following day. This notice' was deemed necessary bv Prof. Jones on account of criti- j cism that had been directed at the school authorities because of a near-! accident occurring to some of the students one night recently. Following is the formal statement issued by Superintendent Jones: "The attention of parents is call ed to the fact that the Brevard Schools do not officially sponsor camping trips. After the children, reach home from school they are un- ; der the authority of the parents. Teachers may go with them at times, but they do so as citizens of the com munity and not as official representa tives of the schools. SCOlTCflWlN S SPRING REUNION; Many people from' the county are planning to attend the Scottish Rite Reunion to be held in Asheville on Aprill 23, 24 and 25.

TURN THOUSANDS LOOSE FOR CATTLE # Five thousand dollars are being A circulated in this cotmty for cattle ~ by the county commissioners brought shipped last we?k. Four steers sold the sum of $498.50, and Mr. W. L. Aiken, shipping the cattle, declares it is a great waste and loss to the farmers to sell their steers while young. By keeping them ar.d feeding them just a little longer, Mr. Aiken says, psuch more money can be made by the fanners. R. W. Everett averaged over one hundred dollars for 19 steers and just a little under $100 each for 11 more. Sir. Aiktn i3 enthusiastic in his be* lief that 3tock raising would be the best thing in which the farmers of the county could engage. ( k : v. . MRS.

Corbin) The meeting last week at Rosman High School was a splendid success from the standpoint of attendance, some farmers came as far as fifteen miles, which ic certainly commend able from the standpoint of interest in farming for those men. The first and only experiment on fertilizing corn on French Broad Bottom land , iWas explained. The adaptability of; this section for growing Irish potatoes ! was discussed. Experiments were ! shown where seed potatoes from this state had been tried in competition with seed potatoes from other states itn.l the test showed that seed from this state showed up favorably with the other seed. One of the most important jobs in growing Irish potato crops is now time to be done ? treating seed before planting. In order to prevent three important diseases in Irish potatoes tin seed should be treated before be ing cut to plant, as follows: Secure | at the drug store one pint of foral- j delude or four ounces of corrosive ; sublimate and mix with thirty gal lons of water in a wooden barrel, ! soak the potatoes in this solution one and one-half hours before cutting. Cut the potatoes and plant as usual, i These materials are deadly poison and ' the water and potatoes after treating | must not be consumed by man orj beast.
