CARL BRYSON, IN HIS CELERY GROWING PROJECT
Bryson Sold $/2.80 Worth of Celery
From One Small Fraction of an Acre
(J. 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

very essential for successful celery
growing. The soil was turned deep
last winter and then a heavy coat of
manure was broadcast and let re

Mrs. M. C. 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.
BROWNLOW JACKSON
SPEAKS AT ROSMAN
\
Brownlow Jackson, Republican
candidate for Congress, addressed a
large audience in the Rosman High
School Auditorium, Tuesday night.
Mr. Jackson, who was introduced
by Judge English of Brevard de
clared himself to be a friend of the
common man because he had trav
eled the roads of the lowliest him
self. He was born and reared in a
log cabin in Henderson county. The
candidate for Congress stated that
he was presenting himself to the
people of this Congressional dis
trict because he had a desire to be
of service to his friends and neigh
bors of the mountain section. He
remarked that he had no blue-blood
family tradition to back him up but
only his past record of efficient and
business-like public service. Mr.
Jackson said that he desired to be
the servant of the people and not
the boss and he remarked further,
that if elected, on March 4, 1931,
he would still be just Brownlow
Jackson, the Henderson ville neigh
bor.

Officially Suggested Road from

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

;he 1930 taxes, from which these
items are to be paid, have been eol
ected. Tax Collector* Patton has
lot even received the 1930 tax list

ill the counties of the state, to bor
row money at the beginning of the
school year for the purpose of pay

? BREVARD PEOPLE
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Miss Ruth Spalding and Messrs
Tom Graham and Sol Greear of Bre
vard, sustained painful injuries in
in automobile accident near Cor
lelia, Ga., last Saturday afternoon.
The group was on its way to the
lome of Mr. Greear when the acci

niles of the Greear home the car
approached a rather awkward de
;our which surrounded an over-head
bridge that was under construction.
In some way the machine got oat
jf the driver's control and failed to
make the curve, going over a 4 foot
smbankment onto the railroad track.
The three occupants were thrown
out, resulting in a broken leg for
Miss Spalding, a slight skull frac
ture for Mr. Graham and scalp
wounds and a broken shoulder for
Mr. Greear. The injured occupants
jf the car were caried to the Greear
home.
Medical attendants said Monday at
noon that there were no signs of
permanent injuries to any of the
three and expressed the belief that
all of them would be able to return
to Brevard early next week.
Reports at noon Wednesday say
that all are doing fjtjie ? Messrs
Graham and Greear sitting up and
Miss Spalding quite cheerful. They
are expected back to Brevard soon.
