A. Glazener, Agri. Instructor) Carl Bryson, a Brevard High School graduate in Vocational Agri culture, has sold $72.80 worth of celery from one twenty-seventh of an acre. Carl finished high school with the class of 1929-30 and de cided to take celery as one of his projects, since he had been quite successful with a small plot the year before. The following expense accouni taken from Carl's Project Record Book no doubt will prove of interest and value to many: Manure, one load, $3.00 (this year value) $ 1.00 1 Horse labor 9 hours at 10c per hour 90: Plank for blanching (1-4 of original cost) 1.15 ! Spiay Mixture 1.60 i Self Labor 32 3-4 hours, at 15c per hour 4.85! Land rent at $20.25 per acre .75 J Total expenses $16.50 1000 plants Fertilizer . . Hired Help 3.50 1 1.50 1 1.35 Total amount of sales, $72.80; total expenses, $16.50, gives Carl a net profit of $56.30, which would amount to $1,520.10 per acre. If to his net profit we add $4.85 which he paid himself for his own labor we find that he had a labor income of $61.15 or $1.87 per hour for every hour he worked in his celery patch. Following is how Carl handled his celery project: In the class room last school year he made very care ful and detailed plans according to his findings from the best celery sources of information, most of I which came from the U. S. Depart- 1 ment of Agriculture. After ho had completed his plans, he set about to execute those plans as best he pos sibly could. He selected a very rich black loans soil with plenty of organic matter it with a high lime cdntent. ese are factors that Jeer* to l>e( very essential for successful celery growing.

Henry Gives Valuable Lot To Scouts of Brevard Troop No. 1 (By Scout Reporter) Mrs. M. C. Henry of Brevard and Louisville, Ky., presented the Bre vard Troop No. 1 Boy Scouts of America with a large building lot on Monday, Oct. 13. On the same occasion, Miss Violet Henry honor ed the troop with a check for $25 to add to the troop fund for a Scout hut and accessories. For many years, Mrs. M. C. Henry and Miss Violet Henry have shown great interest in the activities of Brevard boys and girls. They have been exceptionally kind and helpful to the Boy Scouts. On several oc casions they have entertained the troop with picnics, melon feeds, candy pullings, or with some other enticing event. The lot presented by Mrs. Henry was given specifically as the location for a Scout Hut. The troop has long dreamed of a hut, whicn they might call their own; a hut in which they might have their Scout equip ment and hold their regular meet ings. The dream seemed until re cently a dream too large for the troop pocket book. However, by the kind consideration of these two ladies the troop will be able to build a splendid hut, sufficiently large for a troop of thirty-two boys, sometime in the near future. Of course the hut will cost quite a large sum, but the troop is preparing plans by which the money may be obtained. The lot is forty-eight by seventy-two feet, which will be ample room for the needs of the troop.

Shipman, Banker McNEELY'S POSITION ON ROAD QUESTION CLEARED Officially Suggested Road from Rosman by the Gloucester Bridge, it is Shown Because of the widespread inter est in reports over the county as to the recent county note for $100,000, jold in anticipation of 1930 taxes, and the question of location of the highway from Toxaway to Jackson county line, J. H. Pickelsimer ad dressed a letter to Thos. H. Ship man, asking Mr. Shipman's conft tion upon the two questions. As to the anticipation note, Mr. Shipman stated in his reply what all informed citizens have known all along, and that is, that the note was for the purpose of obtaining money now with, which to pay costs of school operation, road work, and so 3n, because of the fact that none of ;he 1930 taxes, from which these items are to be paid, have been eol ected.

It has long been the prac :ice, not only in this county, but in ill the counties of the state, to bor row money at the beginning of the school year for the purpose of pay ng the expenses until the taxes :ould be collected, when the short :ime note would be retired.
