STRAWBERRY
PLANTS BEING
ORDERED SOON
Madison farmers had an oppor
tunity to secure strawberry plants
of good quality through the Coun
ty agricultural agents office in
1962. Plans are being made at
this time to secure Tennessee
Beauty strawberry plants again.
The plants will be inspected in the
field for virus and leafspot dis
ease. The producer will be re
quired to pack and place in cold
storage all plants to be shipped to
Madison County.
When the plants arrive in the
county, a meeting will be held for
the purpose of teaching good
strawberry cultural practice. Or
ders are now being taken by the
county agricultural agents office
for strawberry plants. Farmers
desiring the plants should place
their orders early to insure get

BETTER WINTER
FEED PROGRAM;
EARLIER CALVES
According to Harry G. Silver,
county agent, Agricultural Ex
periment Stations throughout the
United States have proven that
beef cows wean heavier calves if
the calves are born about five or
six months in advance of the ear
ly grazing season. In North Car
olina calves horn during the ear
ly winter months are making
their owners more money than
late spring or early summer calves.
Mr. Billy Woody of Spring
Creek has been advancing the
calving dates of his cows for the
past three years. Billy started
feeding his beef herd corn silage
three years ago. During this three
year period Billy's cows' average
calving date has become about
three months earlier. He now
has heavier, better grading calves
for the feeder calf sale in Octo
ber. Other Madison farmers may
consider Billy's system for their
beef herd. Hilly uses stack silage
and some hay for his beef cows
for winter feed. His cows gain
sonic weight, during the winter
months and milk well for early
calves. He has now started aeri
al tupdrossing his pastures to
supply more summer forage.

F. E. Boss, assistant county ag

the Sandy Mush community, stack
ed corn silage last fall and hasn't
lost a wheelbarrow full from spoil
age. He accredits the quality of
this silage to a good job of pack
ing and a good fence around his
stack. Mr. Reeves says that too
many of the unsatisfied stack own

and, consequently, cannot do a
good job of packing with their
tractor. Mr. Reeves' stack is a-

Mrs. Florence Ramsey, Of
Marshall, Local Cookie
Chairman
(iirl Scout Cookie time is here
again. With enthusiasm that on
ly a child can feel, almost .'1,000
little girls will be knocking on the
doors of citizens in 14 Western
North Carolina counties, begin
ning January 1!), to take orders
for boxes of cookies.
Mrs. Florence Ramsey is chair
man of the 1903 Cookie sale in
the Madison Neighborhood. Work
ing with her are cookie chairmen
in each troop, leaders, parents and
girls UiemselveH. Kinds of c'ook
ies offered this year are the tra
ditional mints, butter flavored
shorties, peanut butter sandwich
and fudge creme sandwich. Or
ders for cookies will be taken by
the girls from January i) to Feb
ruary 4. Cookies will be deliver
ed after February 14. Mrs. W.
W. Hamilton of Asheville is ov
er all Cookie Chairman for the
Council.
This is the ninth year Pisgah
Girl Scout Council has sponsored
the sale of cookies as a major
project. Since profits from the
sale go into a camp development
fund, the council has, in eight
years, been able to build an es
tablished camp near Brevard, that
accommodates til Girl Scouts per
session. In addition, the camp is
available for troop camping, and
council events such as Brownie
Fun Day and Intermediate Wide
(lame Day, patrol training and
outdoor skills weekends for lead-
Cookie money built the original
lodge at Pisgah camp, now known
as Whippoorwill Lodge. It has
gone into property improvements,
tent units, docks, and contributed
partly to building the new dining-hall-lodge.
By providing incentives, in the
form of campership credits, the
Girl Scout Cookie Sale also makes
camping possible for girls who
otherwise might never get to go
camping. There were several in
teresting cases this past summer
of troops of more privileged
girls who turned the camperships
their troops won over to girls less
privileged than they.
Camping is a vital part of the
Girl Scout program. Not only
does a girl develop physically
through an active outdoor pro
gram, she grows in her under
standing of other people in a
camp situation. The program is
developed to give the girl the
maximum amount of appreciation
