Mease Witnesses Shooting Affair in Salisbury Saturday Mr. White Mease, son of Mr. and' Mrs. E. C. Mease, and a student at finive?sity Of North Carolina had an exciting experience in Salisbury Stdnrday night. Mr. Mease had just epme into Salisbury from Chapel Hill and- while waiting in the station J.W. GOODMAN DISTRICT AGENT HERE LAST WEEK Mr. John W- Goodman, District Ex tension Age**, located at AAfevOW N. C., was in Hayesville the past week reviewing the work of County Agent Anderson and also ascertain ing the sentiment of the people to ward the work. Mr. Goodman and the Extension Department were much surprised and disappointed at the prospect of the work being dropped for the county. However, Mr. Goodman left the county much encouraged. While here he interviewed the County Com-J missioners and numerous citizens re-j lative to the work. The department will continue the services of Mr. An- j derson here, at least until January, 1st At that time it is reported that the matter will be again presented to' the Board of Commissioners, it is! expected that those favoring and op posing the work will appear before' the Commissioners and present their views. The reason the extension depart ment is keeping Mr. Anderson here until January 1st, is that it feels that the farmers feeding hogs most have some one to help them get well estab lished in that work. It f eda that it would be a great injustice to these farmers to remove the county agent at once. Fred Evans Buys Registered Jersey Bull Mr. Fred Evans has purchased the fine-Tennessee Registered Jersey bull from MrT Ed L. Anderson and he will be kept at Mr. Eavns’ farm all the time. Any one wishing to use him will find him at Mr. Evans. HORACE LONG SETS ARM BROKEN While carrying a hog last Thurs day, Mr. Horace Long of fids county, had his right arm broken Just above the wrist. This makes fits fourth time Mr. Long has had Us right arm broken, twice above the elbow and FURTHER REPORT ON HOG FEEDING Fin Different Individuals Wei*ted 'Hoes—AU Want Beyond Their Estimated Qains W. M. Clayton, of Frasstown, hogs were the first to be weighed up this week. The five weeks period that he had been feeding endedToesday the 14th, at the beginning of the feed period his pigs weighed thirteen pounds each or six weighed 78 pounds. On Tuesday December 14, five weeks later they weighed 266 pounds, or an average of 44.3'pounds, a gain per pig 31.3 pounds, they had over trebled their weight, “not doubled but trebled.” Feed consum ed, 120 pounds of slop mixture, at 2 1-2 cents per pound, $3.00, and 1 1-2 bu. corn worth $1.05, or $4.05 for 188 pounds of gain. Here is the im portant point, 188 pound gain cost him $4.05 or just a bit over 2 cents per pound gain. Mr. Clayton didn’t have the record of the amount of skim milk used, but if he had not give this milk to his pigs he would not have gotten very much for it. Henle'y Crawford started with ten pigs weighing 225 pounds and they went to 439 pounds which was 66 pounds more than the estimated gain or at the cost of five cents per pound gained on pigs. Ed Crawford with five pigs made his gain at five.one half cents per pound. Ben Kitchens with* ten pigs 242 pounds, in five weeks weighed 512 pounds, a gain of 270 pounds at $5.26 per hundred pounds. Frank Moore with stinted pigs made his 176 pounds of gain at five cents per pound on one hundred pounds less than the estimated feed to make this gain. The big point here is that there gains are being made at practically five cents per pound with farmers selling corn which is a hard sale. If these farmers are able to get ten cents, per pound for their hogs in April it will leave them a prolt of five ants per pound or a mighty big price for corn. _ Now the reason this paper is car rying the results of this hog feeding woirk is that any oue that is inclined to^feed hogs may have this Informa tion to direct their business transac tions. AH these hog feeders axe Wikyne had piddled along with poultry for quite a little bit with little house, few' chickens and doing his best as he felt he could under the circumstances. Realizing bis efforts would never get him as far as he wanted to go, he got his father, Mr. Henry Moore to join him and go in the poultry business in a way to make it pay. Mr. Moore offered his son this prop osition: "I’ll finance you in the poul try business if you want to go mto this ahd make it pay.” The first step was the construction of a state plann ed laying house. This young boy has built perhaps the best house in the county, more nearly according to the State plan with all its convenience with the least expense, and this means quite a lot. In doing this he has com peted with fairly good cdrpentere, and he has learned one great lesson, if a boy will study out a thing him self, he can practically do any thing that is necessary for him to do. His second step was to collect, per sonally, around 500 eggs and set them in an incubator. Hew as able to get the best hatch with this many eggs of any person. These chickens are now beginning to lay. He is now a proud boy with a good flock of chick ens. This shows what a boy can do when he is financed, encouraged and assisted by his parents in the thing he is inclined to do. I think this is a good lesson to all the heads of fam ilies in Clay county if they have a boy or girl that wants to do something that is worth while, encourage them and help them to succeed. This family has made a real con tribution to their community, you can see the effects of it on Tusquittee now, good houses and good chickens on several farms and the boys lead ing the way.
