The Francis Cove residents took
a licking in sports from Aliens
Creek last Saturday. But they ;
gained considerably more than they
lost, as the tour of the Aliens ,
Creek farms and community build- j
ings proved a valuable education 1
in community improvement.
During the morning, they first .
saw the new Sunday School build- j
ing of the Aliens Creek Church j
The impressive new building under
contsruction has cost approximate
ly $20,000 so far
They also inspected the heating
system which has been installed
in the church by the community
resident'. This plant also is fixed
for healing the new building.
At the Ivocky Branch Church,
the visitors examined the work
that has been done on the new
building for the last three years,
then went to the farm of John
Estes ami his son to see the horses
and cattle, the tine bull and the
alfalfa and herd of sheep.
Crossing the creek, they looked
over Rufus Siler's 41 head of hogs
and his pasture
Mr. Siler explained that his feed
problem is eut in halt by turning
the animals out to pasture.
The objects of particular inter
est at Harry llembree's were the
beautiful fish pond and tourist
tamp.
Mr. Ilembree stocked his pond
about two years ago. and now has
250 bass and 400 blue gills.
The visitors also saw a house
that once housed as many as 4.00(1
baby chicks on Mr. Hembree's
farm
But now it's a house containing
12 attractive apartments for tour
ists. Mr. Hembree also had converted
another chicken house into a
beautiful summer home.
The Hembrees also have another
beautiful home which serves for
their permanent residence.
Next stop on the tour was Scott
Cunningham's farm to see the fine
herd of 20 beef cattle there.
Going on later to Walter Bu-,
chanan's they saw fine examples
or ensilage corn, three mules, and
an example of how to keep a creek
bank attractive and out of the
creek.
Gradv Fanner showed the visi
tors his fine new Hrahman cattle,
and his tobacco crop and sheep.
At the Rev. C I. Allen's, they
saw examples of home improve
ment and what another good to
bacco crop should look like. Among
other things. Mr Allen has built
a new wash house and bath room at
an estimated cost of about S500.
Hiram McCrack. n's farm fea
tures an apple orchard whose trees
are loaded with fruit. The trees
are so heavily laden they have to
oo supportid with props Besides
