SUBSCRIBER GIVES PRAISE TO PAPER Editor Brevard Nawi: We have often heard the remark made that Transylvania hat tit* best county paper of any weekly pa per in the state. We believe taeM expressed opinions are correct. At least one member of evary family in the county should be a subscriber to the county paper. By this mews all may keep themselves posted on county interest*. The article in last week's News by D. F. Moore entitled "The Trouble and the Remedy" is well worth the cost of the paper for a whole y?ar. i The editorial comments on how "You Can't Fill a Man's Stomach" and the one on "Prohibition" aw valuable contributions well worth reading and studying and filing for future reference. We were especially interested in the article last week in regard to the "Ford School" for Transylvania. From statements pretty generally made throughout the country, tlwre appears to be rather universal vur ioslty as to the educational plans of Henry Ford. We understand that he propoaoe to invest $100,000,000 in unique institutions for the educa tion of tha youth of America. Henry Ford is one of the most out- ' -standing citizens of America and one of the wealthiest men of the world, j Perhaps nothing that he could do would be as interesting as a plan for the education of the youth of the country. Nothing could provoke as| much curiosity in education as to have Henry Ford invest a hundred I million dollars in something new ir. 1 education. As is well known, "the PUBLIC INVESTMENTS of Mr. Ford so far! have been the resurrecting of out- 1 of-date curiosities while his BUSI NESS INVESTMENTS have been in keov :ig ahead of the procession in app :ilinpr to the public market." His business has been of supreme use fulness to the public but his philan thropy ha3 not. We are curious to know whether he will plan education for yesterday or tomorrow. We greatly need more vocational training, more industrial education for our boys and girls who are grad uating from our high schools. If Mr. Fords scheme will meet such a need, Transylvania county will be fortunate indeed if Mrs. Dorsett is su. ?sful in her effort to have one of tli Ford schools located here. T. C. HENDERSON. URGES FOLK FESTIVAL BE MADE PERMANENT Prominent Educator In Letter Suggest* Folk Carnival Be Repeated Here Members of the Brevard Bosinesa and Professional Women's club ex pressed appreciation over a letter received from Frederick H. Koch, director of the Carolina Playmakers, commending the club for the splen did success which was accorded the club in its sponsorship of the Folk Carnival presented here in the fall.

I am exceedingly interested in it and only regret that 1 1 could not have participated in it ! with you. I do hope you will repeat the Folk Festival ' in the summer [season. I am sure our visitors from i the North would be delighted. Why I net make the Transylvania Folk | "estival a tradition? You have a wonderful opportunity there to cher ish the brave traditions and colorful life of our highland people in their native songs and dancing. By all means repeat it next summer! { "I have thought many times of my interesting adventures, in the Cedar Mountain community and I hope I may come again next summer on my way to California, where I am teach:ng in the summer session.

CELERY GROWING IS STRESSED BY CORBiN Methods and Possibilities Are Discussed by Agricultural Instructor of Rosman (J. F. Corbin, Agri. Teacher) For those of us who are going to grow celery this year it is time we were about our business. The writer is fully as optimistic about the possibility of growing celery in this county as he was before visiting Florida. In fact, I believe we t?n grow celery of better quality and for less money than they do m Florida. It takes about five or six months to grow a crop of celery. It Is from six to eight weeks from time seed is sown in the beds until they are ready to set in the field. Seed may be sown now or could have been sown a little earlier in hotbeds or in few days now they may be sown in the open and protected by sacks from the frost. Care should be taken not to get the seed too thick in bed. The bed should be prepared, sown, and cared for just about as tobacco except the seed comes u? more read ily. Keep the weeds hand-pullen out of the bed. Set the plants in the field when about 3-4 inches high. Celery here may be set in the field during May and first of June. I ! have seed for sale of the kinds which we are using this time, which are Golden Plume, at ?1.00 per oz., land Drayors Special at ?2.00 per | ounce. j The soJl for celery is loose, mel i low, wet, black rich bottom land that is really too wet for other crops. In Florida fields the rows are laid out to make irrigation possible. This can be done here in many cases, ar.d it would not be a bad idea at all, and I advise it, but it can usually be jfiro'wrTTTere on the right soil without I irrigation. The soil should be thor joughly prepared at once by repeated harrowing and broadcasting com post. Four to six hundred pounds of a 12-4-4 should be put in row at setting time and more fertilizer and I also some Nitrate of Soda should be ! put around the plants from time to itime as they are growing. It re I quires from 30,000 to 60,000 plants I to set an acre, depending on methods iused. Plants may be set in 30 inch irews and 5 inches apart in row, or j the rows may be wider depending on j system of bleaching to be used. If there are a few interested peo ple in a community who will get to gether and notify me, I will be glad | to meet with you for an hour to study I this problem. This applies to any j place in the county. | dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. [ Orr. Reuben Mackey and C. L>. Allison | were Enka visitors Monday.

It is such houses as this one that add to the convenience and comfort of the modern householder and provides wholesome goods of thi highest quality at the most reason able prices.
