THE FRANKLIN PRES3 THURSDAY, NOVr PAGE TWO Just About the Farm 4-H Club work. To make the best better The 4-H's: Head trained to plan, think and reason; hand trained to be useful, serviceable and skillful; heart trained to be kind, true and sympa thetic; health to resist disease and make for the enjoyment of life. ' To sum up the endeavor of the 4-H Club work is to make better men and women. A large number of boys and girls have sent in their application, and selected their projects to work on. , A great many more are making in quiries as to the details. .. Whenever the county agent goes around in the communities he has al ready visited and explained club work, numerous sturdy, tousled head ed little boys, and rosy cheeked girls crawl up on the running board of the car and commence asking ques tions; It would be a desecration for anyt body to deprive these youngsters of Parents and teachers are urgently roniipctprf tn nut nothing in tneir way, and further, to assist in every way possible. . Here's one view of the proposition: The older folks arc more or less settled in , their routine of life and . any radical change in their methods costs far too great a sacrifice, and upsets the equilibrium of things; but the youngsters whose' practices . and ideas have not yet become crystalized, may study the latest methods and put into practice the best scientific prin ciples without any sacrifice 'whatso ever. In doing this they have comparison of the much ridiculed "Book-farming" with the long established methods in vogue on most farms. : Methods in farming like methods . in every other profession evolve. Principles remain ever the same. .'-It is given to those. who practice in a common sense manner, the latest methods that keep up with the times and reap greater benefits from their toil nd thought. . Macon countty should, and will, eventaully have a thousand boys and girls in club work; so why not now? No great outlay of money is re quired, in fact, practically the role pre-requisite is the will to do. 'An narpnt or cuardian who is skeptical, is invited to ask any ques tions cf the county agent that they : may care to. .. The local National Forest officials are putting forth every effort to as sist in the club work along forestry lines. This, in itself, is an oppor tunity given to very few counties, ,. So here's to a boys' and girls' 4-H Club Four Thousand strong; the best in the Southeast! '' ' Three cheers 'for the poultry raisers of Macon county!, They have or ganized along progressive lines and are going in to make their poultry business one of profit and pleasure. Anyone wishing to buy Guernsey grade heifers are overlooking a good bet if they don't, buy 'them now. We have located a bunch of from one month to 3 years old, priced right, and they can be bought and brought in here at the minimum ; of expense and no trouble with the tu berculosis nad abortive quarantine law.

Soybeans In Corn Increased the Yield Soybeans planted with corn has in creased the yield per acre" of the corn in at least one instance in North Carolina. The demonstation was made by W. M. Green of Troy in 'Montgomery county. Mr. Green began-a soil build ing demonstration with , county agent O, R. Carrithers last storing. He ulanned to build up his sou by in eluding soybeans with his corn so that the crop residues might De turn ed under. No soybeans was planted in part of the c,orn. for purposes of comparisons.- According to h,. L. Blair, extension agronomist, at State College, who re ported the demonstration, where no soybeans were grown, Mr. Green danted his corn in rows, four feet apart with the stalks standing 30 inches apart in the row. In contrast to this, he planted the other corn in rows six feet apart and , 20 inches apart in the row. Then'on the same day, he planted O-too-tan soybeans between the rows ot the latter corn. This gave the same number of corn hills per acre whether with or with out soybeans. All the corn was tertihzed alike. This means that the corn and soy beans received .one-third more ferti- izer an acre because the rows were closer together. The corn made good growth under both conditions, the soybeans grew from four to five feet high and spread enough to completely cover the ground. After the corn was ripe, says Mr. Blair, two- rows having soybeans between them were gathered and weighed against three rows without the soybeans. The yield per acre was 35 bushels of com with the beans, as compared to 25 bushels per acre without the beans. Mr. Blair slates that in addition to the 10 bushels of corn gained per acre, there will be added benefits, in years to come due ,to the great amount of legume vegetable matter plowed under thi sfall for soil im W.

JONES, Mgr. 2tO20 Nw Goodyear Agents New Jail Proposed Thf Board of County Commis sioners, at their regular meeting here Monday, unanimously adopted a reso lution looking to the erection of a new and modern county jail on the site of the present jail, .which was recently condemned by the state; au thoritils. 1 , The . text of the resolution, which was .offered by Commisisoner, Mc- Clure, follows:' , , . "Upon motion made and duly seconded, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:' "Resolved, that whereas the present jail has ' been condemned by the State Board of Health that a new jail be built upon the site now occu pied by the present county jail, such jail to conform to the laws of the tstP nf North Carolina and the regu lations of the State Board of Health. 'The action of the ' Board follows upon the heels of the . condemning, a short time ago, of the present jail; and that followed closely the presen tation of a petition of the Board. asking that .they rescind their order calling for 'the erection of a new court house and jail, combined. The combined building was to have been erected on the Robinson, lqt, just off the public square,- and one of the arguments of opponents was that, by placing. it in that location, the county would lose the 1 present jail site. That site was given to the county, to be used by it so long as the lot was used for a jail. When it ceased to be used for this pur pose, the lot was to revert, under terms of the agreement. .
