The third annual Haaood countv ram sale was held at Clyde on Sat d:y, July 23. A number of private sales were arranged during the day, but the main interest was the auction a?e starting at 1:30. Seventeen rams were sold to the nighett bidder, all purebred and al most all registered. These were all mature rams, most of them either yearlings or two year olds. Six teen were Hampshires. While the bidding wa6 spirited, tlw prices were not high. The top being f20.00 fcr a fine yearling sold by Win-Mock Farm to C- L. Moody, of Cecil Town ship. Besides those sold at auct.on four or more changed hands at pri vate treaty. Two rams went to Bunombe, one each to Macon and Madiecn, and the remaining seventeen to Haywoccl sheep growers. The bulk of the auction sal? was the offering of Win-Mock Farm of Advance, North Caroloina. Mr. George Evans, manager of the farm, brought five yearlings and seven two year olds. These were all in excel lent breeding condition and were ap preciate! by the farmers as shown by the number who bid on the offeiings. Mr. A. C. Walker ef Clyoe. Route 1, had a fine group of ram lambs, some of which he told at private sale. Mr. Walker has been a breeder of Hamp shire sheep for nearly forcy years. The results are shown in the fact that the sheep of Haywood county are of superior quality to those of any other county west of Asheville. By the excellence of his breeding he has made the Hampshire the predomi nating breed of the county. Other breeders had a few animals in the sale, and the quality brought sales at reasonable prices. These buying at auction were L. H. Biamlett, Robert McCracken, J. M. Queen, Medford Lestherwood, W. D. Ketner, and Matt Davis, of Waynes ville, Z. V. Ferguson and C. J. Rogers, of Crabtree, C.E. Owens of Delhvood, J. G. Garrett of Leicester, J. B.Hipps, L. C. Moody, D. J. Noland, and C. C. .Zvans, of Canton. The ram sale in the last three years has placed sixty purbred rams on farms in Haywood county, and quite a number in addition of registered ;emales. Some young breeders are starting in the business, who in a few years will be offering high quality registered Hampshire sheep to farm ers of Haywood and other Western Carolina counties. Some of these are N, W. Carver, of Waynesville, Route 2, and Ray Mann, of Canton, Route 1. One of the goals of the 5-10 year farm program set by the county com mittee was to standardize to the Hampshire breed. With the present predominance of this breed it would be a forward step when every lamb leaving Haywood would be of the same breed and type. The annual ram sale was organized by Jas. L. Robinson, County Agent, three years age. He has spent con siderable time in working up the in terest in the sale and the offerings hi-vp been improving each year. Mr. L. I. Case of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture was present at the sale and discussed some of the methods of management to increase -rnfits in sheep growing. 11 Dairies In County Attain Grade A Rate ' - - I E. L.

LIBRARY SEWS Our readers will find on the rent shelf now a book most decidedly worth while and one which will repay one many times over for the time spent in reading it It is Lewis E. Lawes' "Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing." In view of the recent deplorable happenings among criminals it is gratifying to know that we have at least one warden of a large prison! who has an understanding and sym pathetic attitude toward his prisoners. If one has not the time to read the entire book (I venture to say that no one who begins it will put it down until the last page is read) he can nick out chapters here and there which will grin the imaeination and cause one to do some pretty serious thinking, and the last chapter itself is a wonderful summing up of the en situation. . - It is hoped later on to print a paper entitled "An Economic Study of the Criminal," based en Warden Lawes.' ' ook. - Frank W. Miller received notice Mon lay that he had 'ieen appointed United State; commissioner -for this listrict with headquarters at Waynes ville. Mr. Miller mted that the ap-(i-ntinent was unexpected and entire ly unsolicited, and that h had s-'gred a net it ion for the irpnoin inciu of an other man, and did -tot 'desire it for himself. The announcement of 'his decision of Judge K. Yates Webb, of Shelby, to appoint Mr. Miller ends a long drawn out contest for the position. There were a number of active candi dates trying to get the fippointment. Mr. Miller has been active in the af fairs of Waynesville and Haywood county for the past thirty years. His first public work was dep uty clerk ofv the Superior Court under the, late late J. K. Boone, and the two successors, Na than Walker and R.H. Osborne. He war later town alderman of Waynes ville and for the past twr terms he has served as chairman of the board f elections -of -Haywood county. Mr, Miller is actively connected with the local Chamber of Com ' -rce. and has devoted much time on the Great Smoky Mountains .a tii ial Park. He is chairman of the road Committee of that organization. T ali o one of the outstanding po- -. leaders of Western North Carolina. After being absent from a court house for about a year, the county officers were moved the first of this week from the Masonic Building to the new court house, which is ready fvi occupancy, after being under con struction for the past ten months.

The ground improv ing crew is at present building a street in the rear of the building and from the garage entrances on the back to main Street. The grounds have been terraced and graded and are waiting for the proper time to plant grass.
