THE CLAY COUNTY NEWS VOLUME II. NUMBER 31. HAYESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1928. 5c COPY—$1.50 PER YEAR & 1928 FISHING LICENSES READY Western North Carolina Fishing Licenses are now ready to be sold. Fishing can be made one of the greatest assets of Western North Qaroilna. To do this streams must be stocked and fishing be Jlrotected in such a way that the fish will have a chance to grow during the spawn ing and growing seasons, and fish enemies must be prevented from ruining the fishing. Fishing license cost $1.10 for County, $2.10 for State license a»d $3.10 for non-resident. The Coun ty license enables a’ man to fish in the County in which it w»s issued and the State license extends fish ing privileges on all unposted prop erty in the State. The licenses are o.n sale in each County. The money from these licenses goes to the protection of the fish and the maintenance and enlarge ment of the Hatcheries. There is no doubt that the hatcheries should be enlarged so that the fish fry can be kept and fed until they are four to six inches in size.. The small fry have so many enemies that the mor tality is extrema'y high when they are put in the streams. However, if a six inch fish is liberated in the stream he stands a good chance of surviving. Fishing in Western North Caro lina was badly neglected until the State commenced taking an interest in it a few years ago. In many sections fishing was so badly damag ed, by dynamiting and seining the fish, that practically all were killed oat. During the 'ast three years with the four State Fish Hatcheries in Western North Carolina, the fish ing has greatly improved. Each year the State is hatching millions of fish and these are being taken by citi zens and the streams are being stocked. Many of the most progres sive fishermen have already built rearing pools in which the small fish are fed until they reach a size of four to six inches when they are turned loose in the streams. This section can become famous for its fishing as we have perhaps the best fishing streams in Eastern America. The Appalachians culminate in West tern North Carolina, attaining their highest altitudes. From these high ranges a great deal of water gath ers and the number and size of our fishing streams is probably unequal led in any equal area in the United States. The streams are so well supplied with natural food for the food for the fish. Our seasons for fishing in the Western District are as follows: Brook and Rainbow Trout April 15th to September 1st; Largemouth Black Bass Bass. June 10th to April 20th; Small-mouth Black Bass (Mountain Counties Only) June 10 to October 1st. The bag limits are: Large-mouth Black B’ass eight in one day; Brook or Speckled Trout 25 in one day; j Raiftbow Trout 25 in one day. The size limits are: Large or small-mouth B'ack Bass not less than 12 inches; Brook or Speckled Trout not less than six inches; Rain bow Trout not less than six inches. The Angler’s Act has now been extended to all methods of taking fish in the Inland Waters of the Western District, except in Hender son County, where it is expected this resolution will soon be adopted. The fo’lowing streams are closed: East Fork of Pigeon River, in Hay wood County, is closed against all methods of taking fish from Bla lock’s Mill site to T. L. Gwyns line, until April 15th, 1928. Colvards Creek, in Cherokee County, is closed against fishing be tween the Southern Rai’road and the head of said creek until September 1st, 1928; Caney Fork Creek in Jackson County until January 1929. Gigging fish in fresh water streams is unlawful. See next week’s issue for an ac count of the car lot shipment of hogs that are to be loaded by Clay County f farmers on Thursday of this week. COMING OF THE ‘BIG PARADE’ IS KEENLY AWAITED Biggest Achievement in History of Screen to Be Shown at Morphy Fri., Sat. April 20 and 21 A picture offered to the public as a human document si King Vidor’s "[The Big Parade,” from a story by Laurence Stallings, coming to the Bonita Theatre, Murphy, N. C. The title symbolizes the big parade of humanity right up to the World Cris is—and the big parade coming back. The plot of “The Big Parade” be written in one sentence—Ajp American Boy Goes to France. Jim Apperson, son of a rich family, leaves for France without any heroic musings. Slim, a rivtter, and Bull, a bartender, are in his company, and they become buddies for the du ration of the big adventure. We fol low them through their training in a rural French village where Jim meets Melsiande ,and immediately forgets about the girl he left at home. ) Then the big parade! The long line of lorries moving to the front. Melisande is left standing in the road clutching one of Jim’s bodnail ed shoes. This is an exquisite scene, intelligently directed. Then the march through the forest with snip ers and machine guns everywhere. The rhythm of this unbeatable ad vance of khaki-clad figures makes a deep impress. On and on until the climax in the shell-hole, when Jim goes over the top to avenge his two pals. You’ll never see such a scene pictured on the screen again! Of course in “The Big Parade” the master theme is the reaction of Jim and his buddies and his French ghf t othe yjar—that dreadful catas trophe, which rather than any per sonal agency, is the villain of the piece. King Vidor, with a fine sense of the author’s values, directed Gil bert, Adoree, Obrien and Dane. He found them responsive to the great thought, and eager to embody the soul-crisis of the participants. The highest proof of “The Big Parede’s” success is that it has al ready been seen and enjoyed by more than 4,000,000 American thea tregoers. It is itn its second year at the Astor Theatre, New York, and now on view in the other principal capitals of the wor’d. _Y_ SWEETWATER Rev. Chas. S.

The fifty new coops are expected before then and we have a promise that thp money to pay for the poul try will be sent to the bank here qn Monday.

THE NEW TYPE BROODER HOUSE Not long ago a farm paper gave a description of a brooder house heated with a furnace but it is dif ferent to the one originated by Mr. Witt Penland of Elf community, Ciay County. Eeveral farmers have built furnaces under their brooders after the Penland plan and are de lighted with the results. Under the Penland plan hte furnace is built directly under the brooder house and resembles hte old syrup furnace. The other plan fruance is bui:’t oh the outside of the house and a flue runs under the brooder house. In a section where there is. plenty of cheap wood, the Penland plan of brooder house is almost sure to revo lutionize the poultry industry. Its advantages over the old oil or coal burner brooders are: 1. Cheapness of construction. 2. Cheapness of fuel. 3. Safety from fire. 4. Free from smoke and fumes. 5. The fire wit'I not go out letting chickens chill, because hte warm rock and dirt will hold heat for hours. Many farmers of this section have not used brooder houses because they did not have the ready cash to buy a brooder stove and oil or coal tor un it. Now he can build a fur nace and cut apd haul his wood. About the only profit from poul try is made from early broi’ers and the pullets that are hatched early enough to begin laying in Septem ber or early in October. To get many of either of these the chickens must be hatched in an incubator and reased in a brooder house. The Penland plan of a brooder house puts profitable poultry pro duce ni reach of all. County Agent Arrenda’e has visit ed and studied the construction of some of these houses and will be glad ,to help. plrtp and construct brooder houses thait will Save the proper amount of heat, light and ventila tion.
