'('he Cherokee County Board of
^Education in cooperation with the
Murphy high school will conduct a
teachers training school for pros
pective teachers of this and- other
• counties in the Murphy High School
building next year and annua lly
'from now on. Sometime ago the
County Board of Education approv
ed the plan and made provisions in
its budget for such a school. Fri
day afternoon the Murphy School
- Board gave its approval formally es
the proposition to use one of the
rooms in the high school bsilding
for class purposes and to use the
.grammar school as a demonstration
school. County Superintendent A.
L. Martin has recently received-word
irom Mrs. T. E. Johnson, State Su
pervisor of Teacher Training in
High Schools, tftat a teacher will be
-employed and plans made to open
the school early in September when
-the Murphy public schools open.
Thus the school is assured.
Some ten or eleven high school
graduates have already signed ap
plication blanks for entrance upon
the school and there are^ several
others who intend to sign up a little
later, it is thought. Only ten pupils
■-V‘ are required to open the school. The
county board of education will fur
nish the equipment for the school
while the state department of educa
tion will pay the teacher’s salary.
There will be no cost to the local
school except the supplying of heat
and the room. Thus the school is
county wide and prospective teach
ers from qther counties may enter
also so long as there is room in the
school. «
Graduates of standard high
schools and teachers who now hold
the elementary B. certificate and
want to raise them, may enter the
school. There is no cost to the pu
pil for attending the school except
for books. Most of the books, how
ever, and the material employed in
making charts, etc., will he furnish
ed free. Thqse who ' successfully
complete the course will be awarded
an elementary A state teachers cer
tificate valid for five years. Under
the , state salary schedule these cer
tificates will draw from $75 to $95
per month, depending upon the ex
perience of the holders thereof.
' Also, those who attend this train
ing school will be given credit for
two-thirds of a years work in the
normal schools of the state, such as
the Normal School at Cullowhee,
Boone, East Carolina Teachers Col
lege, etc. The school will be well
■ -equipped, the supplies will be ade
quate, the library and i magazine
shelves well filled and the teacher
■one of the best that can be had,
while the grammar school . of the
Murphy Schools will be a trainng
school for the classes. Thus this
school will be in a position to do a
fine piece of work in equipping the
young people of the county for
teaching positions. Only twenty pu=
pils can be accepted for the school
in any one year and those who are
-contemplating taking the course are
Being asked to see- the County Su
perintendent, A. L. Martin at an
early date and sign the application
Blank. . This is the mote necessary
so that the proper amount of equip
ment may be bought for each sttt
-dent who will; be in the school.
Those who know about the school
are elated over the prospects of re
ceiving this training while they are
at home and at no expense to them
selves or parents. There are about
twenty such county-wide schools in
tiie State now and this form of teach
«r training seems to Be gaining

CORN SELLS HIGH
TO DAIRY COWS
RALEIGH, N. C., July 27.—It is
unusual for a farmer to get $4.46
a bushel for his corn in North Caro
ling but there is a way to do it and
Torfr Morrow of Iredell County has
learned the method.’ Grind it into
meal and feed the meal along with
other home grown grains to dairy
cattle.
“It takes good cows on a good
pasture to pay such returns but the
records kept on Mr. Morrow’s herd
by tjie tester of the Iredell Cowtest
ing Association show this to be a
fact,” says John A. Arey, dairy ex
tension specialist at State College.
“An individual record jis kept of
every cow in Mr, Morrow’s herd.
During 'May, the eleven cows com
posing this herd, produced 311.3
pounds of butterfat which- sold for
42 cents a pound and; Twought in
$130.75. The skim milk left on the
farm’ after the cream was sold had
a feed value of $29.57, making the
total income amount to $160.32.”
Mr. Arey states that these 11 cows
werg- fed 2,269 pounds of home
grown grain mixture made by mix

MR. AND MRS. BOOTH WED
IN S. C. LAST NOVEMBER
Coming as a great surprise to rel

Nov«fmber 14th, of Miss Christine
Anderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
R* L. Anderson, of Ogden, N. C.,
and Mr. Lamond P. Booth, of Ashe
ville.
Miss Anderson was a student at
the University of Georgia at Athens
and being in the senior class did
not wish to announce her marriage
until she could join her husband,
which was day before yesterday.
She finished her course and receiv
ed her diploma this week, leaving
immediately to join Mr. Booth. The
young couple were married in An

ing together 200 pounds of corn1
meal, 100 pounds of cottonseed meal
and 100 pounds of crushed oats, j
which was valued at $46 a ton or'
$52.19 for the afount of feed. The
animals also consumed oat straw
valued at $6.80 and were grazed on
a grass and clover pasture for which
a charge of $2 per head was made.
The total feed bill was thus $80.99,
leaving a_net income of $79.33.
On this basis, states Mr. Arey, the
cows paid $9.21 each for their pas
ture. The cows consumed 23.6
bushels of corn in the. form of meal
and allowing all charges for the
feed-stuffs, the animals paid $4.46
i bushel for the corn. This does
not take into account the manure
left on the place.
Therefore, states Mr. Arey, the
