THE FRANKLIN PRESS Friday, February 20, 1325. Page Two NEW S OF INTEREST TO'FAMEIS Farmers Day Attention is invited in the ads and program of the next Farmers Day ap pearing in this issue of' the Press. Five hundred circulrs containing the ads and the program will be listri buted throughout the county. Es pecially ,is attention called to the Vegetables Growers meeting at th(e court house on Farmers Day Febur ary 25th. The farmers of the county now have the opportunity to contract for 300 or 400 acres in vegetables at prices agreed upon in advance. It is estimated that this wiil put into the pockets of the farmers of. the county apporximately $75,000 per year. If the farmers contract for the acreage mentioned above a canning plant will be established without cost to the farmers. Jt, should be remembered tha't the farmers' cash crop timber products will soon bexhausted and it is high time that they were investigating other sources of income. Come to the court house on the 25th and have this matter thoroughly explained. i Tampa. Fla. Feb.,16th, 25. MR. JOHN V. ARRENDALE, Franklin, N. C County Agent, ;, t . Dear Mr. Arsendale I have just received your letter dated Feb. 14th, and I will be there for the 25th. How ever, I don't believe l ean get there ahead of time you suggest, but you can tell all the farmers you see I will be there for the meeting of the 25th. Yours Truly, JAMES S. MOODY Editor's Note Mr. Moody is the man who wants to contract for 300 or 400 acres of vegetables to be paid for in cash at contract prices. II. M, Curran, Extension Service, Bureau Agriculture .State of North Carolina, 'was n Franklin Monday conferring with Srpervisor Shields and County Agent Arrendale rc-Utive to tht use and disposal of the minor timber products cf the 10,000 acres of farmer? vootijot in this state. Altho aJ present Mr. Curran is the oi:Jy one inthc state doing, this kind of work and in fact one o the few in the United States, Ihi? being -a ne-v va dustry Comparatively yet from all in dication's the z.zic will put several icw wen in ihi; f'cki this year. Mr. C'rrran advocates ; and is working tJir.icstly to that end, brinjnti ; m-' cii.siicf such , as trcajo:e ,acid plants and such to the place where the acid wood and other timber by products may be had more readily. With this idea in view, he will try' to interest manufacturers in the idea of placing such mills in such sections as this Vvluirc these industries are of com mercial importance. He explains that big timber can be sent to a far market but that small rtuil must be taken care of very close to where it is grown. He also advises the County 'gents to get behind this scneme ana Prosperity increasing The Press this week hsa been forc ed to increase its size from 8 to 10 pages in order to accommodate the merchants who are anxious to let the people know -what they have for sale. The fact that the dam will be under construction at an early date and that work on the Georgia road will begin soon is making business conditions better already.. , o take advantage of the incrcsini; prosperity the merchants witii fe.v o.ceptions are fully aware that they must advertise to keep abreast of the times. Notice the advertisements in this isuc of the Press and take ad vantage of the many opportunities offered. On any day of the. week es pecially on Saturday and on Farmers Day, go to the store of any merchant whip has advertised and judge for yourself 'whether the people read the advertisements. The up-to-date mer chant, the one who really appreci ates your trade, is willing to tell you so through the columns of the Press He wants to meet you half way with fair and square propositions. Those who do most advertising get the bulk of the trade and deservedly so. , . ' D. R. Sellers Dies Mr. D. R.

TWIN EGG Mr. Jesse Sheffield's hens are so anxious to help make a living that they are beginning' to lay twin eggs. These hens also have a great deal of ' consideration for the women folks since the twin eggs the hens are lay ing come without the shell in order to save the trouble of breaking the eggs. Mr. Setser the ruarl mail car riier on Route Four waV exhibiting a twin egg found in the nest at Mr Sheffield. The egg is without shell and consists of two full sized eggs connected bv a small neck and very .much resembles an hour glass. Mr.. Sheffield's hens will probably fly to town hereafter and lay their eggs, in a box at the Farmers Federation in order' to save some one a trip to town. Information Conerning Your Onion Sets The set growing district, where practically all sets in this country ' are grown, suffered . from a long cold wet summer. The result was that ; most all sets grew too large and. were .even dug in wet ground and had no chance to become hardened or firm .White sets were not good at all, yel low sets were a little better, and I will have them for you as long as I , caNi get them, though the supply is limited and will not last all the sea son. It will be to your interest to 'use onion plants. The plants are very satisfactory and I believe you will continue to use them each year after you try thenl once.. I will carry them in stock this year, as well as the sets and cabbage plants, potato plants later. C. T.BLAINE. F27. Bring Your Produce To BILL CUNNINGHAM I' Will Pay For Hens .. ...14c lb.

Mr. Sellers was 8 years ot age and had been in bad health for some time. The remains were buried at the new Franklin cemetery, a host of i datives and loving friends at tending the funeral. Rev. A.

It is true that Franklin is fortunate in having the man they have as police. And this police would be seen more often on the streets if Franklin could arrange to keen some of its citizens away NORMS A' If ffi K "VL HUYLER'S CANDY TRY US FOR YOUR FAVORITE MAGAZINE Try Chambr.

To add with and make the'clover hay more easily cured a few pounds of Tall Meadow oat grases to the acre should prove profitable. Owing to the tact that seed are higher this y,ear than they were last, someof the farmers are thinking they cannot afford to sow cloverthis year. When the prices of seed are investigated it will be found that, the cost of seed for, an acre of clover will not be more than one dollaar above the cost last year, What is a dollar to compare with the soil improvement, and the hay from an acre of clover for two years. Sow Clover even if the seed are at a higher price. Sow Clover. pecially on Sunday. By. doing this it will add to the morality of our settle ment as well as prolong the life of Franklin police. . R. W. Everett's Concert The violin and banjo concert at th'1. uocrt house last Saturday night given by Mr. J. H. Everett and L.

The house would have been filled, no doubt, had the weather con ditions been more favorable. . The music consited of classical com positions; old Southern melodies and rollicing ' tunes that made it difficult for many in the audience to keep their feet still.
