CLUB WORKERS REWARDED On Thursday, Dec. 12, Warren Da vis,. Cashier of the Hot Springs bank, presented the' prises to those in the 4-H Club at that place doing the most efficient work during the past year. Maude Corbett, the most successful 4-H club girl, was awarded a f 5 gold piece. Ellen Brooks was presented with a $2 gold piece as second best club girl. The boys were not so for tunate. No boy was considered el igible for the first award but Paul Bryan got the $2 gold piece. The boys say that a different story will be told next year.

In addition he would offer a $10 gold piece to the boy or girl doing work that excels any other boy or girl in the club, a sort of a sweepstakes prize. Mr. Da vis is much interested in this work and sees how it can be of much value to the boys and girls who take hold and do their best. COMMEND THE GET-TOGETHER "When are you going to feed us a gain?" was the remark that greeted the county agent this morning when he went to get into his car. "That was the best two hours that I ever spent," the party speaking continued. Another day, H. K. Rogers, from near Redmond, remarked that he had nev er spent a more enjoyable 2 hours in his life. , John F. Bryan, President of Madi son Farmers, also says that he does not remember enjoying another two hours to the same extent Mr. Eller, Cashier of Bank of Mars Hill, writing to the county agent, said, "We enjoyed the day immense ly and heartily commend other such occasions as most beneficial for all Madison County." We print these remarks because we believe that the thanks for the occa sion are due to those sponsoring it, the Marshall business men and la dies and the Madison Farmers, Inc., and to those furnishing the entert tainment. There seems to be an idea prevailing tjiat the occasion should be repeated. THAT SLOGAN AGAIN Mr. Story has handed the county agent a let ter from Elizabeth City, N. C. (clear the other end of the state) which reads as follows: "Be good enough to mail me half-dozen of your Coun ty Slogans, either card, booklet or pamphlet, think it good." Another section heard from. We have inquiries and have heard of oth ers having inquiries about the Mad ison County Slogan from nearly all sections of the United States. West Virginia, Colorado, Louisiana, Tenn essee, South Carolina, are some of the states that we recall having sent correspondence about Madison coun ty. At first thought this does not a mount to much. However, every time the slogan is asked about, Mad ison County is asked about. It is all advertisement. Let the good work go on. PROFITABLE HENS Eight flocks sent in reports for the month of No vember. In these eight flocks .were 1149 birds. Of these 1149 birds 294 were old hens. Most of these old hens were in a molt at the time, not laying much. The rest were pullets, hatched last spring. These 1149 birds laid 13,939 eggs, an average of X o X o X WAREHOUSE x o X o o : o o X o X r ' c Trr:.r;s:.E COUNTY - mai a little over 12 egg per bird. There is no doubt but that these eight flocks are receiving" more at tention than the average flock of hens in Madison County receives. There is also no doubt that they are laying more eggs per hen than the average hen in Madison County lays. They are, we believe, an excellent flock of birds. '. These 1161 dozen eggs sold for $371.55 besides some that were used at home. The feed cost for these hens waB $206.46 for the month. This leaves a net profit over feed cost of $166 for the month. , . ' What these eight flocks have done can be duplicated by many other flocks in the county. These i 1149 birds are "CRACKING GOOD HENS," enough for 11 farms. Name 2240 "1280 '4400 "8320 "2917 W. O.

The Bams plan was nsed in placing the 10001b plot in 'reference to the 20001b plot, and the 20001b plot in reference to the 30001b plot This accounts for the fact that in some of the demonstrations there was a de crease in the amount tof clover secur ed when the lime was increased.

During that year three carloads were delivered to the farmers. In the year just closed sev en carloads of limestone were pur chased by the farmers, more than doubling, the amount used the pre vious year. Of these seven carloads, 90 tons, almost three carloads, were used by 24 farmers purchasing ground limestone for the first time. Another : growth. , , 1928 i showed 8 farmers using it for the first time. Of the II lime and clover demon strations started with the car of lime donated by the BuquO people in the fall of 1927, one was discarded be cause the lime was not used as di- rected; three plots were used as pas- LIME AND CLOVER DEMONSTRATION, MADISON COUNTY, 192 No 1000 v V, la- 8000 ?

Middleton, field seed specialist. "We have received a number of wires from other states ssking for quotations in dar lots. The heaviest demand so far has been for Abruzzi rye but we have requests for other grains used for feed and, eover - crops. Apparently much thought is being given to providing feed for livestock and growing winter crops for soil improvement and eov er crop purposes.",, v ,' ' ,r " . Mr. Middleton says that the need for a more adequate supply of re liable seed is tremendous. The small amount of wheat, oats, barley and rye that was' certified this year is be ing seeded with the view of increas ing the amount as rapidly at possible. This- seed is going on fields free of onions and cockle, and .which were not in grain last winter. The latter precaution is necessary to prevent mixtures which migfct arise from 'vol unteer seedir.jr. The' fields are also be!-? t'-tT f ' "" -1 C.s,l E;i!nt?l Siltotit td tfe fonv ?-!rt5?j''.

The other six plots gave striking results. The chart, given below, is the more interesting, and the results more val uable, when the red clover has play ed in the agriculture of the county in the past and ' the difficulty with which a stand is secured and retained today is considered. Bushels of red clover seed have been sowed every year and no stand-secured.' Farmers were stopping the seeding of it. Land was becoming thinner with each succeeding year. "If we can get a stand of clover we can grow any crop," was rind is a common complaint. Now we can point them to ground , limestone, as the remedy and tell results to prove our point. 0 1280 S840 1600 2880 1600 320 -800 2880 1600, 480 1280 0-. 1040 7040 2640 3780 2640 .
