VA Page 8 Community Fairs Are TermedrSussessful Continued from "page one) ters this week. Beaverdam on Thurs day, Rock Springs on Friday, and Waynesville Saturday. Two communities in Waynesville township, Allen's Creek and Ratcliff Cove, were particularly well repre sented in the number of exhibits, as well as in the number of persons who came to the fair. On the shelves ap pointed for the Allen's creeK exhi bition, which took up one side of the agricultural building of the Waynes ville high school was noted 200 glass cans of fruit and vegetables besides aJ large exhibit of pepers, pumpkins, potatoes, onions, carrots, turnips, and others both of garden and farm pro duets. ' Potatoes Attract Attention On the center shelves stretching along the length of the building, and on the floor around were the exhibits of Ratcliff Cove much the same kind of produce as in, the Allen's Creek display On exhibit to which attention was called was the display of extra large size Irish potatoes that were produced from the Green Mountain certified seed that had been obtained from Prince Edward Island and grown this year from three bushels of those seed, planted on about three-fourth of an acre by Eugene Francis, of Rat eliff Cove, one of the boys in the agri cultural department of the Waynes ville township schools. He grew on this smalt piece of land 73 bushels of fine potatoes. Another exhibit noted in the Ratcliff Cove part of the show was a large candy roaster that had been grown in the summer of 1931 and had done service in two fairs. It was about 18 inches long and about 20 inches around. Ratcliff Cove was sponsored by the Ratcliff Cove Grange No. 783. Among its special exhibits were the 150 can.? of fruits and vegitables. Another feature was the exhibit which brought the W. N. C. 5-10 year farm program to the attention of the visitors to the fair. The open ing slogan that the electric dumym showed in his numerous slides, I feed my whole family from my farm do you?" illustrated the purpose of the 5-10-year program. School Work Displayed The Waynesville high school had a different departments. The Latin good display of school work from the classes were written work featuring ,,it;t inn rWivntinn of words, and map drawing. From the English classes were the specimens of con tnnf' wnrl in F.nclish composition. From the science classes ere shown posters illustrative of work in natural history. One poster, captioned, "Beau, ties From Beasts," showed the Royal Walnut Moth in its development from stage to stage. The following are the prize win ners: For Barred Rock chickens, first prize Miss Mariam Boggs, second, Roy Allen, third F. L. Leonard; White Rocks, Bill Swift, White Leghorn, F. L. Leopard, and turkeys, F. L. Leo pard. In the competitive contest be tween Ratcliff Cove and Allen's Creek, the latter received the first pennant and Ratcliff Cove Grange No. 783 won necond. Dellwood also had an exhibit of farm products and fruits. crowds coming and going during the wnoie perioa oi tne iair. THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER .v - THURSDAY, OCTOBER Community Fair Is Held At Rock Spring An excellent Community Fair was held at Rock Spring school house on last Friday. October T Fine ex hibits of farm and garden products, canned good and women's hand' work were shown. There was also quite a display of flowers. The big feature of the fair was the livestock show. About thirty head of cattle, thirty head of sheep, and thirty head of horses and mules were shown. The sires and many of the females shown, were purebreds. The sheep were chiefly Hampshires, though a few fine Dorsets were exhibited. , Those last were from the flock of J. B. Best. The Hampshire rams of Mr. A. C. Walker's were excellent individuals. The grade flock of R. F. Rogers was an object lesson of what continued use of registered rams will do in breeding sheep. A number of good Shorthorn, Hereford and Devon cattle were shown. The An gus, however, dominated the show because of the nice animals on dis play "'from the herds of Frank Med ford, C. I. Hill, and J. B. Best. The colt show was & special fea ture of the occasion. Six spring and summer colts were shown-, the get of the Percheron stallion owned by King and Sanford. This sire seems to be prepotent in stamping his individual ality on his get. The colts all show clean limbs and good draft size even though their dams are only ordinary mares. The first premium on colts went to Frank Medford, second to J. F. Rogers, third to Pink Best. Other winners in the livestock show were: ' ;''- ' Best mule. 1 and 2 years, Charles Sanford. Best mature mule, Craiwford Best. 1 year horse colts. Will Bradshaw. 2 and 3 year horses, C, L.

Cw Wilburn, Gives Geolo gical Insighf of Hay wood County Briefly (Continued from page one) in geological history, like the Rec ords of the human race grows dimmer as we look backward toward the be ginning. But to get a background lor a study of Haywood County and the adiacent regions, we ' need not go back further than what might be termed the beginning of b0 modern epoch of geological history'-' At that time, about the close of the Creta coons ag'- the entire Appalachian region, and particularly the South ern portion was quite different from what we see it today, It had been r., mountainous region ' m the far distant earlier ages, but at the time it had been eroded and Jvjrorn down almost to a plain, only a icW hundred feet above sea levelj Its valleys were broad and. flat, with comparatively low ridges and hills between. Its streams meandered leisurely along their sluggish course. Then, as now, the, region was marked by two main elevations. On the east were the Blue Ridge, and on the west the Great Smokies. Both were low, lounded hills, th6 highest points of which were not much more than 3000 feet above sea level. The Smokies were then as now, the higher of tho two. and. at that time, formed the divide between streams flowing east ward and into the Atlantic and those flowing westward into the Gulf of Mex ico. Between these two eleva tions was a broad flat valley, which was drained by two main Btreawis. One had its source in northern Appa lachians and flowed southweatward to about the region of Asheville. The other had its origin in the ex treme western portion of the,. State i-tnd bowed northwestward,' the two joining about where Asheville is now and then flowing southwestward through the Blue Ridge, thence across what is now South Carolina into the Atlantic ocean, which at that time had its western shoreline along 'the bonier of the present Fiedmont re gion. The last named stream drained ill the extreme western portion of North Carolina, flowing in its north eastward course by way of Topton, Brvson City, Sylvai and Balsam Gap, Thence across the extent of ; Hay wood County, it coursed by Way nesville, Junaluska, Clyde, and through the old water gap at Canton. Some idea of the size and extent of this old stream, that once meander ed across the plain now occupied by Haywood County, may be had by considering the fact it drained all the territory now drained by the Htwassee. the Little Tennessee, with its tributaries, and the Pigeon. There are no indications that the climatic and rainfall, conditions in those days were much different from present conditions, except such ac mipht have been caused by differ ence in elevation of the region then and now. Attention; is directed again to the fact that the Great Smoky Mountains formed the divide between the At lantic ocean proper and the Gulf of Mexico, and that th tributatries of the Big Tennessee rive.' had their onices west of the divide. At that stag of geological histo ry, the eastern section of -what is now known as the American.' conti nenr began a i.lo.v and general up lsing. without crumpling or folding anil not radically upsetting the (lraininge. However, as soon as the uplift began, th,- streams quicksned Li-r.v pace and began to prtle their valleys, lilterally marshalling their forces to tear tluwn the elevated re gion and carry the debris to places of lower level. As might-be expected under such .'.conditions,', some of the streams eroded and lowered their valleys faster than others and drove their heads back into the flat divides, capturing the waters of neighboring streams..'- . Under these conditions, and re membering that the BigrTennessee lay at a much lower level than the placid old stream between the moun tains, it js surprising that thev.Smok ies yielded to the onslaughts of the active streams, fighting for drain r.jJe territory and permitted the old stream to, be tapped and drawn off in ect inns to the northwest.' : Just here begins the interesting unique history of Haywood County, which conforms so nearly to tho wa tershed of the Pigeon river. Recall that the general level of the HI wassee drainage area is about 1500 feet lower than that the Pigeon, uggesting the fact it was probably the first sector of the old river tobe captured and its basin subjected' to active erosian. The Little Tennes see is about 1000 feet lower than the Pigeon and was probably the next sector to be captured. Then vthe Frerich Broad. fi,ve hundred ' feet lower than the Pigeon, was probably - DID YOU V KNOW ' B .''

For a very long period of time af ter the three above named streams assumed practically their present forms, the Pigeon river continued to gather the waters of what is naw Hay wood County and carry them gently along the now extinct river course and through the gap alt Canton to the French Broad at, or near Ashe ville. Finally an active stream, on the lower level in the region of Hartford, Tennessee, cut through the .Smokies at the point now known as W'aterville attid tapped Big CrCeek the northern head stream of the old Pig eon, carlrying its waters hurling down the steep slopes into the Ten lUSoee. With this increased volume of water and a rapid current, the new born Pigeon began to reverse ijsei.'i, gnawing rapidly downward into , the rocks. As it lowered the chAnnel backward toward the south, it Carried the waters of its tributaries in succession in the reverse direction, finally leaving its old bed from Can ton to Asheville high and dry, with the exception of the waters of tha immediate area which remained and developed into the present Hominy creek. ... The fact that tne Pigeon continued to flow, along the old channel through the gap at Canton for so long a time, until comparatively recent time, ac counts for the greater elevation of the watershed and the nOn eroded state of its floor. Under this con dition, it escaped the effect of re juvinated erosion due to the general uplift of the country longer than the neighboring regions. -In addition to the general shift of the drainage of Haywood County, as described above, some internal fea tures may be noticed. A study of tho map reveals the fact that thl direction of the minor stream courses in the northern section of the coun ty, at their junction with the Pigeon, point southward, Indicating a form er discharge in that direction rather than to the ' north as at present. Jonathan's Creek in its earlier his tory, continued its course eastward at Dellwood instead of turning to the north as it does at present. It joined the old river at or near Lake Junaluska. Cove Creek occupied the Jonathan' creek valley from Cove Creek postoffice to Dellwood flowing in a southern direction. It is also quite probable that a part of the waters of Soco creek area of. Jack son County came through Soco Gap into Haywood County.
