Fine Montana
Sheep Coming
Into Haywood
'' One hundred head of fine Mon
tana sheep are expected to ar
rive the last of the week or the
first of next for Haywood county.
The sheep are all ewes, and are
a cross between Hampshire and
Rambuellett.
Howard Clapp county agent, said
that he can fill orders for 20 to
25 more of these sheep, if he is no
tified at once. The cost is $14 per
head plus $2 freight.
The sheep were bought by T. L.
Gwyn for the state department of
agriculture recently. This partic
ular breed of sheep thrive in Hay
wood and produces a heavy wool
crop. Glenn Palmer has found this
breed very satisfactory on his
Crabtree farm.
Those interested Lli acquiring
some of these should see Mr. Clapp
at once.
This Edition Dedicated to Those
Who Have Paid Supreme Price
This edition of The Mountaineer is dedicated to
the 13 men from Haywood County who have given the
supreme sacrifice in this war; and also those who face
death as they fight to free the world from the beasts
of the Axis powers.
We have set aside page nine of this edition as
further tribute to those 13 men. Our prayers are, and
we trust also yours, that as the weeks and months
pass until Victory, that the list will not increase.
We suggest that you now turn to the front page
of the second section and read it before reading the
rest of the 56 pages in this edition.

Wilt and BHght
Hit Tomato Crop
Hard In Haywood
Wilt and blight are playing
! havoc with tomato crops in all
sections of Haywood county, the
county agent's office reported this
week.
The disease of the plants seems
to be spreading into unaffected
areas, and so far, no cure has
been found for the disease once it
gets on the plants.
Mr. Clapp suggested that a spray
or dusting of Bordeaux mixture
would prevsnt the disease provided
it was not present when put on.
This mixture will not cure the dis
ease, he said.

This Is Largest
Newspaper Ever
Published Here
As far as records are available,
this is the largest single edition of
a newspaper ever published in
Waynesville.
The next highest record was in
1935, when the present publishers
issued a 48-page edition in the
spring, covering the industrial,
tourist and agricultural life of the
county.
More than 5,000 copies of thia
edition were printed, which also
is a record for circulation of a
Waynesville newspaper. More than
3,600 pounds of newsprint was
used in the edition, and almost 15(1
pounds of ink.
The most tedious task of all.
was getting the right picture with
the article. This slowed down pro
duction, but by working steadily for
many weeks, the task has been
completed.
The publishers regret that some
people were too late to get their
pictures to us. We set the deai
line just as late as possible, and
then only by burning the midnight
oil was it possible to get the
edition out today.

Tribute To Haywood
Men And Women Now
Serving Their Country
This edition of The Mountaineer is being published as
a tribute to the sons and daughters of Haywood who have
answered their country's call and gone to war.
These 2.500 men and women have heroically answered
the call, and have pledged themselves to protect our homes
and freedom from enemies who have sworn they will destroy
both. We owe these gallant men and women a heart full
of gratitude.
In preparing this edition, the editorial staff stayed clear
of long drawn out articles. In fact, most of the articles in
(his edition are not over two paragraphs long. We have
tried to give a brief sketch of hundreds and hundreds of
Haywood men and women now in service. Hundreds of
pictures have been used, and every precaution has been
taken to make the accounts accurate.
This edition will be read by more people than any news
paper ever published in Haywood County.
And as we roll down the curtain on this edition, we
pay homage and tribute to you men and women in service
I- today, and in the past.
May you soon come marching victoriously home!
