I think this is fine. I also want to add my word of commendation and congrat ulation because I have studied your paper carefully during the past year and wish to thank you for the fine way in which you have co-operated to help build up the rural life of Haywood County. I think the papers of this state are doing as much, if not more, than any other single agency to help promote a better type of agricul ture. Reading farmers are getting the best information possible, and this is but another argument for every farmer to take his local paper. . Wishing you continued success, I am ..V" ., Sincerely yours, FRANK JETER, Co-operative Extension Work of State College. one to 4.4 bushels per tree.

They raise pigs and now have more than seventy porkers fattening for the market, but this little grunter appears to be more of a pet than an investment MORE ABOUT HIGHWAYS (Continued from page 2) seem to have had larger amounts of monies spent than others: but this was necessary, in the comple tion of iinks, on highways already begun. An instance was the $288,- 000 spent in Swain and Macon, on one highway. Another instance is the million and a half dollars spent We want good highways through in Haywood and Transylvania on 284. Another instance was the $95,000 spent on 107 in this county. The highway monies are divided into several funds. Construction money is used where it is needed to complete highways and build others. Special appropriations to assure WPA participation are al located on the basis of mileage, population, and the necessity of employment. The general rule for allocations, however, has always been upon the basis of mileage, and population. The Mountaineer seemed to think that Highway 107 is a splendid road, over which The Mountaineer likes to travel, and over which he 2 st t t r ' ' ' like r If O ifSaf- - 1 w--e ANYONE WHOSArtOKES V ' I V V A GOOD DEAL, THE J f I (J 0 $V SLOWER-BURNING I ' """IV J pjCAMELS IS IMPORTANT S r TOME.

I like to direct tourists; and his only objection appears to be that the highway is not in Haywood county 1 and that it leads by High Hampton Inn, . The Journal rejoices in the con struction of highways for our good friends over in Haywood, Bun combe. Macon, Swain, Madison Transylvania, and the rest of them out our beloved mountain country But, we do not wish the people to believe that the construction of highway in this county, for which our people have worked for a quart er of a century, for which they have paid out more than a million dollars of their own money and over which a stream of traffic, greater than most of the highways of Western North; Carolina pours, has been done with money that should have been spent in other counties. Last week and. this, we have tried to present the facts fairly and without prejudice. Nobody in Jackson County objects to the con struction of 284 in Haywood and Transylvania. Fact is, we rejoice with the people there over it. And knowing the people of Haywood as we do, we are persuaded that they have no objection to 107 being com pleted in this county. The Moun taineer, unwittingly, we believe, published an editorial that might mislead them. Hence this correc tion." Automobiles may not be taken into Mozambiquie without govern ment permit.

Howard Blackle Bear JOCKO EVENS UP WITH RANG- GY TANG ' Story 84 ' Any of you folks ever hear of "Grinning JakeT" Well Billie Possum must be his cousin. Certainly you would have thought so if you had seen Billie when he got his first taste of that perssimmon beer and "turnover, He just leaned back in his chair and said "Uh " just as children do when they taste what they say is the best thing in the world. And then he out-grinned all the Jakes Jrou ever heard of. But he didn't waste much time in grinning. He went to work on that turnover and persimmon beer, just as if he had only 15 minutes to get it down and reach the achoolhouse. And, to tell the truth on all the Creek Folks, none of them were very full of talk just then; they were too busy getting full of that good dessert.'- : But nothing lasts always, so af ter a while they finished dinner, and everybody filled up their pipes and started smoking. That seem ed to be a sign to begin to tell stories, so Jocko opened the "story telling hour" with this one: "When I was a boy i lived away out in Rangtown where nobody but monkeys lived. I had a cousin whose name was Ranggy Tang, and we were just the same size, and looked so much alike that some body would see Ranggy Tang at some place and would say they had seen Jocko there, and a good many times I would get punished for some mischief that Ranggy had done. I'm not saying that Ranggy didn't sometimes get what by rights was coming to Jocko, but I always thought that he did more things that called for punishment than I did, I "One day Ranggy found a great big bunch of grapes that my mother had put out in the sun to dry into raisins, and when he found there was noby around to see him, he grabbed them and ran up in a tree and ate the whole bunch, When my mother came out to take the grapes in for the night of course she didnt find them, but she did find a lot of boy's tracks right where she had left the grapes. "And what was worse, she found me. I had been off in the orchard, eating figs, and was coming back around the corner of the house, and wiping my mouth when I ran right into her as she was jabbering about somebody that was going to get a licking. "She must have been talking about me, for the minute she saw me wiping my mouth she grabbed me and said: "I'll teach you how to eat up the best bunch of grapes I ever saw," and before I could tell her anything she had given me about the worst spanking I ever got. "And how don't tell me that you didn't do it; if you do I'll whip you again. Come over here and put your foot in this track," she said. I put my foot in it, and it just fitted, and there wasn't any more to be said about it 'But I knew who had eaten her grapes, and I expected to let him pay a little something for it, though I didn't intend to let her know anything about it. We never did tell anything on each other, but we never failed to play the joke back when we could do so. "And my time came. "Any of you ever eat any of those great big almost-black cherries that you don't often see T I'll bet Jay Bird has. Anyway, Ranggy 'a mother had packed a beautiful box of them that she was going to send to somebody, and I happened to pass by just as she had fixed th box all up and put it on a shelf in the pantry, and then went over to a neighbor's house. "I was playing with Ranggy, and! he had around his neck a string of beads that his granny had given to him, and they were so pretty that I used to pay him something to let me wear them for a while. So I promised him a coconut tomorrow if he would let me wear his beads until then. I put the beads on, and we played hide-and-seek for while. "When it was time to hide, I ran up to his house and broke the string that the beads were on, and drop ped them down on the floor right under a box of cherries; then I grabbed the box, and just flew out of the house and went home. "From what Ranggy told me ths next day, his mother thought ha got her cherries, and she gave him what I wanted him to have to par him for getting me in trouble over the grapes.''
