"This fact,' he said, "shows that the farm ers of this county are appreciative of the loans and are also the hot to,. of farmers." . Mr. Williams stated that approxi mately $5,000 was loaned to Ha county farmers during the past year, and that he expected to ?et that amount back just as last year. "Haywood countv fa have to depend entirely upon their crops for their living," ;Mr. Williams said. "Most of the money paid on loans are not from crops but from other things, such as and cattle." ' Mr. Williams was nilPstinneH no tn whether or not there was any other vuut.tj vvhii as rnucn aiversity in farming as Haywood county has, and i.iibl e uiu not tninK so. "It is important," said Mr. Williams, "that farmers who secured loam; this year pay them promptly, as a record is being kept of each farmer and his payments and if some are incliru ed to be slow it might result in fail ing to get a similar loan approved next year, if such is desired. There are many after these loans and it is important to keep the credit rating up to par." ' iS. S. Williams, Field Inspector, will be in County Agent's office at Way nesville on Monday of next week to receive payments on any crops that are moving and to discuss the market ing of other crops.

The rough country in which the murder took place handicaps the offi cers lrom scouring the community. It is said that it is almost impossible to get a buggy through certain parte of that section, to say nothing of driving a car there. Th location is about 7 miles from Max Patch toward aterville. Sutton is said to have three children iving, his wife having died some years ago. lie is said to not have had any designated home of recent months, but has been living in first one com munity then another.

Series Of Meetings On Care And Storage Of Potatoes Is Set Jas. L. Robinson, and If. It. Niswongef Will Inform Farmers Of Best Methods of County Agent, Jas. L. Robinson and H. R. Niswonger, state extension vvoiKcr, have scheduled a series of .meetings for Thursday and Friday of this week at which time the proper method j of handling and storing Irish Potatoes will oe explained On Thursday meetings will be held as follows: U:.'i0 a. rn.

Rock Hill school. this is an important' work to po tato growers, tmd it is desired by the sponsors that a large number of farm ers will take advantage fo the infor mation that will be given at these meetings, Henry.. Francis is now building a modern apple and potato storage plant of the latest modern improvements. This building will be inspected on the tour, it was said. 20-Pound Mangel-Wurzel Grown By W. T. Shelton W. T. Shelton brought to The Moun taineer office a mangel-wurzel, which is a stock beet, weighing 20 pounds. The mangel-wurzel is now on display at this office. Mr. Shelton said that this plant will grow in almost any 'section of the county, but that most people planted them too thick, they should, he said, be planted about one foot apart. poultry potting on their flocks During th, 02 days the average hen J in ine record iiocks oi tne state lam 25.79 eggs, and those from the Hay wood flocks laid 31.53 each a diffe rence of nearly six eggs. During July th,, Haywood flocks consumed four tents of a pound more of mash than the average for the state, while for August the averages were exactly the same for state and county for both 'mash and grain. It is easy to see that the same feed cost and a larger production will show a smaller cost per dozeiroggs or per bird. Three out of the four Haywood men were below the state figures on each of these costs by about a cent a dozen and a little more per bird, It seems probable that the milder summer climate hulps in this better production, for Henderson and I'olk counties are also above the state average. Another interesting fact is that dur ing these months the average price per dozen eggs is better than in other parts of the state. The average price for the slate during July was 15.4 cents per dozen, while the Haywood average was 19.2 cents. During Au gust the figures are 20 cents and 21.4 cents per dozen respectively. This shows this section IS hP four 'cents above the general market at this season. During these months Ashe ville and Haywood County have u tour ist trade that puts us on an importa tion basis for Hirst class eggs. Proper management of our noultry flocks in Haywood wcld enable us to supply most of tliHse eggs and receive the better piicp the season always puys. That this policy pays is shown by the fact that these Haywood poultry men netted 31.1 cents per bird in com parison to the state average of 19. 1 cents. Sir more eggs and lour cents per dozen more meant fifteen cents per hen more. One In Hospital And Another In Jail As Result Of A Cutting Jack Moody, 18, is in the Haywood County Hospital with the muscle of his left arm severed twice and cuts about the left side, and Clay Dona- van, 17, in is jail awaiting a hearing before a magistrate, the hearing hav ing been temporarily , postponed by Magistrate Frank Ferguson pending developments in condition of Moody. The cutting affair, Sheriff Lowe stated, 'grew out of a rock fight which envoi ved five or six other boys, all of whom are out under a $300 bond each Thfi affray took place at Dellwood Saturday night. Moody was said to have bled pro- fusely, and his condition was at first considered serious. A report from the Hospital Wednesday was to the affect that he was getting along very nicely, and improving. iShen'ff Lowe investigated the affair and made the arrests early Sunday morning. Thomas F.
