Corbin) Carrying out the 5-10, programs or "The Live-'at-Home" program does 1 1 not mean doing a little summer farm- J irig and letting the fields be bareji during the winter. Why do we not > grow wheat in Transylvania? This J county must buy from outside the county 95 percent of its flour. Great throngs of our people are getting flour daily that was sent here from some other territory. We are sending I money out of the county to pay for wheat that we could use to buy some thing else that won't grow here. Some will say that wheat will not grow here and yet successful crops have been made for the last four years i making a third or half more than the state average. Other counties that grow more j wheat than we do are having "wheat j weeks" in which they are carrying! the wheat idea to all the people. Lets! plant some wheat on every farm in j Transylvania during the month of. October. Thats the time to plant it ? j now. Turn the land and get a good ! rain cn it and then drill the wheat, j using 2 1-2 bushel per aore of a good i pure strain of adapted seed. If the j land is thin use from' 200-400 lbs. of super phosphate or complete fertiliz er per acre. The seed should be treat ed for smut with formaldehyde, there being no remedy for the rust. Clover [ and grass may be sown with the | wheat or it may be sown on the iand j next spring starting a rotation and j soil building program which is nec essary forr successful farming.

MAIL CARRIER SHOT BY BURGESS HOGSED Burgess Hogsed, age 16, was taken into custody by Sheriff Patton Fri day and lodged in the county jail as a result of a shooting affray which occurred about noon Thursday when Hogsed, it is said, shot R. E. Mac key, rural mail carrier. Mackey's condition is not not serious, one buck shot having lodged in the back of his head.

Unable to furnish bond he was re manded to jail. Hogsed is said to readily admitted; the shooting when questiond by the! officers who arrested him and de clared, that he had been crowded off thy road and that the rear fender of Mackey's car struck him, although hi ?y est i gators have failed to verify the statement that he was struck by the car. i MAN TO LIVE AGAIN IS SERMON SUBJECT!
