JACKSON I
FARM BRIEFS
1 By J. C. McDarris l3 I
Discovered a new town in Jack
son County the other day; "Blue
Town" above Balsam. Not much
farming being done there but a
wonderful example of using native
shrubs in home beautification and
for shade. In talking with one of
the citizens, I asked him how often
he got to Sylva. His answer was,
"Well, I don't get that way very
often. Road is too bad." The George
Cowards beiow Balsam are not on
ly making a small farm make them
a living but they are making it
a good place to live. Motor oil
stain prevents the eye from seeing
any weather beaten boards; grass
in the yard, native shrubs and clean
sion. Frank Saunders and wife
above Willets are two young peo*
pie become farm owners with a
desire for improvement. Better
housing, soil improvement, scien
tific alfalfa production and work
i ing toward purebred cattle are
their goals. A good combination.
All pioneering is not finished.
The veterans taking agricultural
training are learning, seeing, try
ing and succeeding with new things
in farming. A veteran told me the
other day, "When I got on this
program I threw away my rock
ing chair." Veteran Kenneth Moore
and wife on the head of Cedar
Creek have made the following
progress: Bought 120 acres of land,
new house with seeded yard and
landscaping, concrete bank house,
new fenced pasture of 50 acres,
25 acres of land brought back into
cultivation, live-at-home program
and two fine boys. A card of con
gratulations to a program which
helps people to help themselves
and to the veteran trainees who
are doing that very thing. J. C.
Franks of Bee Creek could have
set down with his pension' after
those Jap machine gun slugs rip
ped his stomach and arm apart
but no, he carries a normal farm
load. Challenges any one with two
good arms to lay off a straighter
row that he did with one. Courage
'knows no obstacles; faith, no de
feat.
Mrs. Joe Deitz of Moody Branch,
brags that her capon chickens will
reach 20 pounds by Christmas.
Have a few caponizM for Thanks
giving and Christmas tables. They
will also raise baby chicks be
tween time. Agriculture teacher*
John Corbin, W. T. Brown or L.
A. Ammons can be had to do the
work.
