FIRST CARLOAD
WHEAT SHIPPED
FROMCLAY CO.
Contained Over a Thousand Bushels
and Was Shipped to Ashevlle
Concern
The first carload of wheat ever to
be shipped out of Clay County was
shipped on October 16th by Messrs.
Poe Crawford, Ed. Craworfd, Mark
Weaver, Neal Haigler and Norman
Alxander. The car contained 1050
bushels and was shipped to Chester- j
field Milling Company, of Asheville.
They received $1.26 f. o. b. Hayes
ville. The wheat was trucked to
Murphy and loaded on the car there,
the shippers receiving ten cents per
bushel for hauling adn nine cents
shipping charges, making $1.45 re
ceived for the wheat at Asheville.
Another carload will be shipped later
as there is a demand for weat on this
market.
Clay County farmers produced
39,726 bushels of wheat this year,
one of the biggest crops on record.
This gives a large sruplus for export
and with our rich farm lands, suita
le climate and ready market so close
at hand should be an incentive to
Clay County farmers to grow even
larger crops next year.

S,J. BRISTOL
V LOSES BARN
Mr. S. J. Bristol, who lives about
two and a half miles out of Hayes
ville suffered considerable loss Fri
day night, October 29th, when his
fine bam and eighteen tons of hay
was burned.
The fire was discovered about 8
o’clock in the evening, but had gain
ed such headway that he was unable
to save anything except -tome farm
ing tolls and stock. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
Mr. Bristol thinks probably some
one had been sleeping in the barn
and dropped matches and rats get
ting hold of them, as there was evi
dence by some canned goods being
found.
Mr. Bristol lost a dwelling several
years ago with a small amount of in
surance on it, also a bam without in
surance, neither did he have insur
ance on this last bam.
DEANSCHAUB
PRAISES AGENT
AND COUNTY m
- - V
Head Of {Eaten tmion Work For North
Carolina Reviews Progress
Made In Clay
Prof. 6 6. Schaub, Dean of the
School of Agriculture at the State
College ahd head of the Extension
Work in tjjiB State, spent Wednesday,
October 27th in Clay County review
ing the results of the county agen
work here.
Dean Schaub has control of all
county agents and district agents in
the State and it is his business to say
where and what amount of funds
shall be used to support county ag
ent work.
On Wednsedayt night a number of
farmers and representative men of
the county met in the office with the
County Agent, W. R. Anderson, and
listened to some interesting remarks
bv Dean'Schaub. Mr. W. W. Shay,
Extension Swine Snecialtist and Jno.
W. Goodman, district agent.
Prof. Schaub in the course of his
remarks- stated that in his work it
had been his duty and privilege to
visit the counties in this State hav
ing county agents and in addition he
had visited and observed the county
agent in twelve Southern states, and
that in all his observation he had not
found a county anywhere that had
made more real and substantial prog
ress than Clay County has made in its
dairy andpoultry program in the last
three years, and he highly praised
County Agent W. R. Anderson for his
work along these and other lines in
cidentally remarked that owing to tha*
ey wovta dc spent, most likely, by the
Extension Department in Clay Cem*>
ty.
This is certainly encouraging tor
Clay County farmers. Mr. Ander
son has worked hard to achieve these
results but without the efficient co
operation of the farmers he could
not succeed. We want the world to
know that our Clay County farmers
are a class of people who are doing
things. They are now feeding co
operatively a car load of hogs for the
spring market. This is the first car
load of demonstration hogs ever fed
cooperatively in' Western North Car
olina and this fact together with the
advertisement which is the result of
our dairy program has brought Clay
County an its farming possibilities
into prominent notice, and we predct
that as a result of this publcity our
farm population will be doubled with
in the next few years. A few years
ago men from other counties began
to come and are still coming here to
see our rural telephone system. Now
they are coming here to see the re
sult of our farm program and we
have results to show them, not theory.
Another pertinent remark that
Dean Schaub made was that “it took
more brains to be a successful farm
er than to make a success at anything
he knew of.” And he proceeded to
give his reasan for this statement
which are about as follows, that the
farmers first of all is an investor and
must safeguard his investment. Sec
ond, he is an operator because he
must operate his farm. Third, he
a financier because he must go into
the market and purchase the neces
sary raw products and then he must
race
ket 1
greatest return. The investor ordi
narily only puts in his money and
leaves its management to others, the
big business man is usually only a
