RUSS A little more than 21 years ago the heart strings of this county were touched as a three-month- old baby boy was abandoned at the Hospital. Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, more hearts will be touch ed, when, this once little boy, now a ministerial student comes "back home", ; , 1 It was a cold bleak day, that February 7, 1930, when a well dressed man entered the Haywood Hospital with a chubby little 3 month old boy In his arms. He put the baby down at the reception desk, said something about his wife having an operation, and asked the attendant to mind the baby while he went back to the car to get the baby's clothes. That is the last the Hospital staff ever saw of the man. The world seemed to have swallowed him up. The baby was neatly dressed Pinned to his clothes, was a well written note in a woman's hand writing. The note gave a food for mula for the baby, and said his name was David C. Harrison, Also on the note was a local street ad dress and telephone number. Both the address and telephone were .that' of the Southern Railway de pot.' The nurses rallied around the little fellow. No baby ever re ceived more attention, or better care. Out of their own pockets they bought him clothes, carried him for fides In their hours off. and saw to It that , he got every thing a child could want, ' The little fellow returned their affection, and they called him "Bil ly'' as a typical name for a boy, and added Haywood for the name of the county. And thus Billy Haywood, as far as the records are known, start ed off on a life that today Is dedi cated to making the world a bet ter place in which to live. On Saturday, this fine looking young man. with an excellent service record, high scholastic rat Ings, and a ministerial student, ls coming to Waynesville, and will bring with him some fellow-students from the Bob Jones College ol Greenville, S.

Many requests have been re ceived by the Mountaineer to re peat a recent ad tilled: Shall l Force My Child To Go To Sunday School and Church?" In connec tion with the ads the following letter one of many, has been sent in; "I wonder if the business con cerns that make these "ads' pos sible realize the extent of the won derful service they are rendering both God and man by making these weekly messages possible.

Modern Farming Methods Paying Off For Medford .Its long teeth spiking the sky. the corn loader in operation last week at the Will Medford farm is ready to dump its load and return for another. Mr. Medford (center) figures that the machine can do the w6rk of eight' or ten men. It was built by. Ford Sharp, employee-at Mark Galloway's saw mill. Driver of the tractor which will haul the loaded trailer to the ensilage cutter is Wilburn Grooms; and operating the corn loader is Vinson Over. 'Staff Photo,' ' -'.''. ' ' . Farming is scientific today modern methods and modern ma chinery have speeded up many a chore. The Will Medlord farm In East Waynesville shows a prime example of what, can be done with ingenuity plus a willingness to try something different. In operation there now Is a corn loader which Mr. Medlord estim ates can (lu the work of eight or ten men and cut loading time al most in half. "I may get this whole field cleared in one day," h? ex plains, "instead of having to figure on at least two days for the job." -The- loader- was- built - by- Ford Sharp, "He .can do anything," Mr. Medford boasts. It is attached to a tractor which was formerly equipped with a shovel for clean ing burns or ditches. Instead of j the shovel there is now a giant: wooden rake backed by a scoop. The operator lifts a pile of cut corn, carries it to the waiting truck, and dumps 'it in the manner of a construction man's steam shovel. The steady rhythm of the men cut ting the corn never slows. Mr. and Mrs. Medlord have built up a reputation for "making some thing out of nothing" or very lit tle. When Mr. Medford bought his farm some thirty years ago, he was advised that one patch of land was worthless. His first corn crop there was "no taller than a child". This year's crop is about 16 feet high. He has increased the yield of the field so that he can feed as many cows from that field alone as he coudl previously from his entire farm. "I use cover crops faithful ly. That way the soil is continual ly built up instead of becoiniag worn out," he explains. Mr. Med ford Is qualified to speak on grow ing corn. Two years ago he was a county champion. "My land Is better for summer pasture as well as for winter feed," he adds. "Right now I can pasture twenty cows where I used to keep two. County Agent W. D. Smith started me off and I've kept right on I guess you might call my for mula 'lime, phosphate, and hard work'."
