The public is invited to attend. "From observation, the farmers of Haywood county are more advanced than in other sections of the state and should take the lead in the agricul tural world," said Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of, the Progressive Farmer, in in an interview after he had delive red an address to the three civic clubs of Haywood county in a joint session here last Friday night at the Methodist church The meeting was composed of mem bers of the Civitan Club, Canton, Boosters--Club, Hazelwood, the Ro tary Club, Waynesville, other busi ness men and farmers of the county. Dr. Poe spoke very highly of the 5-10 year farm program and termed it as "well conceived" and a large program, and the only hope there was of ever getting the program "put across" was for the farmers to co operate among themselves and within their midst find leaders. "To get anywhere during our lifetime this is most important," he said. Here in Western North Carolina the possibility of raising more live stock and poultry and giving more attention to our forests is most im portant. "We have been sending en tirely too much money out of the state for things that we can raise at home, and I trust the farmers of this state will soon realize that that method is not practical. Here we are not only paying the western farmer his profit, but about 6 others a profit before weget the foodstuff that we can raise as. good as the western farm er, but the farmers of North Carolina are one-arm farmers. We need more two-arm farming in this state." Dr. Poe remarked. ' I consider the live stock part -the "most important of the 5-10 year program, and I hope that instead of trying to grow only plant crops that the farmers will also in crease animal production, The in come from plant crops are not prop erly utilizing land, labor or the rnind. Plant crops require part Of the year pnly, while by combining livestock and animal production the farmer is kept, busy the entire year at some thing that will show a profit" "W'hile North Carolina ranks fifth in value of crops : in ths United States, she only ranks 47th in valua of livestock." the speaker brough out.) "That is one reason why the farm has not appealed to many people, because the farm does not offer any developments, unless run on scientific methods." , Dr. Poe stressed the face that the average farm in the United States was valued at 84 219 while the av erage for North Carolina was only $684. The fact was brough; out that jfewer sheep and hogs were being raised in North Carolina today than .' "n years ago. "The farmers have gone wild over money crops, until now there is no money in them," he said... ' -.' ' ' There is more money in poultry in North Carolina than in any other, livestock, according to Dr. Poe. The feed in this -:taie is about 20 per cent cheaper than in northern states.

' - Capt. Alden Howell Is Reported To Be Better After suffering penalties which totaled HO yards in the first half of the Hendersonvlilt game h riday . on the BearCat field, the Mountaineers pulled themselves together in the last half to register 20 points while the Hendersonville lads were getting 6 oints. The lone Hendersonville touch down came after the ball was plac ed on the 6-inch line by the hcadhnes man, who charged the Mountaineers with holding. The Bear Cats depended entirely on the work of Flannagan to gain what ground was gained outside of penal ties. Just why the 'Mountaineers were constantly penalized was not definitely explained. In the Sylva and Christ School games thojr total penalties totaled less than 25 yards, while in the Asheville game they were not "fined" an inch. Reeves, assisted by Bridges, Khune and Patton played heads-up ball throughout the game, and especially during 'the second half. Reeves got off several nice runs for gains but was called back to be penalized. (Last year the local eleven ran over the Bear Cats for a 66-6 score.
