THURSDAY, FEBRUARY I Page 10 THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER Vocational Teacher Tells Of Need For Victory Gardens In Haywood By I. A. McLain. There are at least four reasons why every farmily in Haywood county shoald have a vegetable or "Victory Garden" this year for defense, health, economy, and for pleasure. The armies are depending upon our production of food and as more and more men go into military ser vice, more and more will be the demand for vegetable crops. We . can at least produce what we need So that the surplus m other sec tions of the country can be used by the armies. since more than hall ol our boys were turned down in the first draft because of physical defects it is apparent that our diets should be improved. Probably, no one thine would help our diet more than the growing- and eating of wide variety of vegetables. Veg etables taken fresh from the gar den are more tender and palatable than those purchased from a store grown many miles away. The saving in money by having a "victory garden," too, is another reason why every family in Hay wood should have one. It has been estimated that the average garden in North Carolina is worth be tween $150 and $175 to the family. This means that each acre of land devoted to gardens is worth be tween $300 and $350 each year. Now as the demand for vegetable crops increases, families can save quite a sum this year. This sav ing can be used to buy defense stamps and bonds, which will also help in defense, There are many people who really enjoy working with vege tables or having the first tomatoes or corn in the neighborhood or out-yielding your neighbor certain ly can not be matched anywhere else. If you do not have the land for a garden, see your neighbor and see if he will not divide. If you are in Pigeon or Beaverdam, Bee Mr. Cogdill and he will give you 'the land free of charge. Let's all plant a garden for de fense, health, economy and leasure. Iron Duff News Rev. Jarvis Underwood filled his reenter appointment at Antioch church Sunday. i Eev. H. G.

SAM COX THEY JOE'S FOILED Freshman: "Why so downheart ed? Sophomore: "I wrote home the other day for money for a study lamp." Freshman: "So what?" Sophomore: "They sent me a lamp." WASH UNCLE FACE Story 124 Taking a nap at eleven o'clock in the morning, is he?" Black ie said, when Jay Bird breezed in to tell what all he had seen that morn ing. "I know he wouldn't be doing that if Aunt Judy was at home, and he shouldn't fool her that way. I wonder if he thinks that awful 'Man-as-high-as-a-house' can't go anywhere except to Mr. Man's house? 1 have heard of neonle that you couldn't turn your back , maybe on, for fear they would do some thing that would hurt you, and it looks like Uncle Joe is one of that sort. I know Aunt Judy thinks he is hard at work, trying to make more things to 'eat that will have to be divided with Blackie Bear and his gang, and there he is lying up there, sound asleep in the shade at eleven o'clock in the morning. And I can just see him waxing up at about twelve, and going in the kitchen and eating the dinner that Aunt Judy left for him, and then going back to that bench, and sleep ing for about two or three hours, and then getting up and going out there, -in the , potato patch where Aunt Judy will find him rearing at that grass, like he had been working himself most to death all day, I wish you would sail over Jocko's house, and tell hint I would like to see him right away. And tell him to put on his shoes, for he is going to need to make some tracks." . ' After Jay Bird left, Blackie went into the house and put on his dinner, and he put Jocko's name in the pot. There was some plan ning to be done, and planning could always be done better over a good dinner and a pipe. Uncle Joe was wasting a mighty good day for Start Your Victory Garden HERE THE COMPLETE STORE FOR FARMERS AND ' GARDENERS ',Now is the time to start planning a gardenmake it a Vic tory Garden this year.

FARMERS FEDERATION PHONE 344 AT THE DEPOT killing grass, and something must be done about it. By the time Blackie had dinner! ready to take up, Jocko had come, and he was just as curious as a monkey could be to know what Blackie wanted with him. Blackie didn't often send for any of his folks to come to him in the day time, for most of them came in every night at suppertime to hear what the others had been doing and to fix up the plans for to morrow. -'.'' "Well, what is the trouble?" Jocko asked, as soon as he was seated at the table. "No trouble at all," Blackie said. "Just a little fun, maybe, and little favor to do for a good neighbor." And then Blackie told him about what Jay Bird had seen over at Uncle Joe's house. "We just want to get Uncle Joe back to work on that potato patch before most night, and I think maybe you and Jay Bird can do it. Maybe that water shelf over his head will help out with your job."..". , Sure enough, when Jocko and Jay Bird got to Uncle Joe's house, at about two o'clock,. Uncle Joe had eaten his dinner, and was asleep on the bench, snoring like a little saw mill. Jocko looked at the water bucket right over Uncle Joe' head, and then he stifled a snicker. The first thing he 'did 'was to bring Uncle Joe's hoe and lay it beside his hat that was lying on the floor. Then he took the water bucket and went to the well and rilled it right full of water. Then he took it to the shelf just above Uncle Joe's head, and then tipped it over on his face, bucket and 'all, and he made that "Uhr-uhr" sound that Blackie makes when he wants to sound , awfully scarey. Then he darted , behind the house and out in the i woods, before Uncle Joe could wake ' 'up good and get the water out of his eyes. Jay Bird says that when mat bucket of water fell bottom upward, on Uncle Joe, the old fellow jump ed up and made most as loud an "uhr" as Jocko had made, and that his eyes popped out like two fried eggs when he saw that hoe lying there beside his hat, and then saw all those tracks that Jocko had made with Uncle Joe's very own shoes that Jocko borrowed from him, a long time ago. And he says that Uncle Joe really took the hint about the hoe, and that he also took the hoe and went to work in the potato patch, even harder than he would if Aunt Judy had been watching him from the kitchen window. Yes, he did talk to himself, and he told that hot sunshine what he was going to do to that robber when he saw him, .
