v Very much aa the suggested pro

French Broad Association . la . pro
ceeding at the Baptist Church in
Marshall; having opened for business
at ten o'clock Thursday, August
19. The sermon was preached by
Key. L. R. Williams and visitors
.were -welcomed by the moderator,
Rev. L. C. Roberts and the pastor of
; church, Rev. H. I Smith. The
cooperative program was discussed
by Rev. Mr.: McCoin supplying for
Dr. Maddry, whose report was read.
Following this and the appointment
, of some committees, the congregation
adjourned for dinner, which was
served on the third floor of the new
building of the Masonic Home Com
pany. And the Marshall church
spread fine tables of delicious food J
We had thoaght that the country
churches had a monopoly on feeding
crowds of people, but from the din
ner served here, we believe the
towns can set fine tables aa well as
the country. At any rate, if any
one left hungjO is was. noi. &m fault,

the afternoon, the report on
the state of churches was read and
spoken to by Mr. W. B. Metcalf of

"This work has been under way
for four yeara," says Mr.' Shay.
"During that tame over 6p6 farmery
have conducted feeding demonstra-
tionsv We have made outthe feed
ing schedules to be followed and havo
tabulated the results of the demon
stratfons. During that time we
have seen it as high as 15. . Corn
has sold by the carload as low as
sixty cents per bushel and as high as
$1.60 per bushel. Where instructions
in feeding have been followed ac
curately, there has been a .profit
from the feeding. The' profit .from
the corn so fed has been from .300
to S00 per cent greater' than if it
were sold at current market prices."
During the four years, growers
have been urged to govern the breed
ing dates of their hogs so as to get
the pigs off the soft pork producing
feeds at a weight hot exceeding 80
pounds and to add approximately 115
to 145 pounds before selling them,
just under 200 to 225 pounds.

More than twenty states of the
Union are now growing soybeans, a
crop which spread from a small be
ginning in eastern North Carolina
less than one-half a century ago.
"In J924," asys C. B. Williams,
head of the department of Agronomy
at State College, "more than 2 V mil
lion acres were devoted to the pro
duction of this popular summer leg
ume crop. Most of this increase has
come about in the last five or ix
years. The popularity of the soy
bean is due to its wide range of soil

relations; its relative ease cheapness

crop in building up the fertility of

crop can match the hearty favor and
the rapid spread ia growth and nse
which this crop has enjoyed in the
lost few years. ' Farmers use the
beaa largely for aeed purposes, for
hay , production and for grating.'
North Carolina ia still the great seed
producinf center. Over 47 per cent
of the crop grown in this state is
old for aeed. ' Mr. Williams states
