The present building will be enlarged' and a num ber of small cottages will be erected to care for the' ever increasing crowds that throng to High Hampton each season. Mr. Charles J. Metz, of Atlanta, has p large crew of men at work, clearing off the lainl'lor his; lake on Hurricane creek in Hamburg town ship. The lake will cover large. acre age and is situated almost on top of the Blue Ridge. This is not to be a real estate or hotel 'resort de vclbpnient, but is . for . the private use of Mr. Metz and his friends. Just over the county line from iackson in Macon, the father of Bob-y-Jones, with other Atlanta capita lists, has a veritable army at work preparing the great $300,000 golf course that is planned to be made the Mecca of the great golfers of the world. Located at nearly 4,000 feet altitude, atop of the world, com manding expansive views unsurpassed in North Carolina, . this new golf course has every advantage that could be obtained anywhere with the added one of great altitude and expansive views, for it is 'situated on the great Eastern American plateau ' that is Cashiers Valley, Highlands . and a large part of the "Beautiful Sapphire Countrv.

Jackson Ccunty Journal. Size of Flock Important In Farm Poultry Raising In poultry raising on the farm it may be poof management t6 raise, a hit-and-tniss number of fowls, such a number, for instance, as may happen to hatch from hidden nests. Poultry experts of the United States De partment of Agriculture suggest that farmers who are unable to keep, ap proximately 200 hens limit their flocks to a size only .large enough to supply the table with eggs and poultry,, meat throughout - the year. In this way the gain is largely a by producc and the chickens will pick up much of their food from material th-it would be wasted. When a flock numbers more than enough for the home supply of eggs and meat, and is not as large as i'.'O. it is likely to demand more attention and more feed than the returns war rant ; that is; it will most likely not return enough profit to pay for the management and attention necessary in caring for it. But if poultry is maintained "with an eye to profits it is worth managing. A. flock of 200 can be divided readily into two units for breeding purposes 50 yearlings for production of breeding eggs and 150 pullets for market egg production. Similarly a flock of 400 would divide into 100 yearlings and two flocks of 150 pul lets. Pullets are preferable for .egg production, and the. keeping of flocks of about three times as many pullets as yearlings' allows ..the poultry raiser to cull his flock wisely and retain only the best of the pullets for breed ing stock. .
