Lyes, western Stanly county farmer and father of 14 children, is de serving of classification among North Carolina"s outstanding homemakers. Several years ago Mr. Liles pur chased a small farm in Purr township and moved there to make his home and raise a fam ily. With this plot of soil he has pioneered in fruit growing and blazed the way for a new industry which in the near future, seems destined to loom large as a source of county income. He has reared his 14 children, given them above the average in opportunity and has provided well for their future. All this has been accomplished without inheritance income or in come from any source except hard work. The Liles family is gay. They dance and sing, and some have ability with musical instruments. Consequently there are no dull moments in the Liles home. Three cars are kept to provide transpor tation. Gives Wife Credit Mr. Liles gives his wife credit for his success. He says that she has done far more for the home, farm and the children than any man could have done. The couple are renowned for their good na- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA ture, their willingness and to aid a neighbor In distress and to share In any enterprise which has as its object the beterment of their community. The interviewer was Interested In the cost of maintaining a fam ily of 16. And the Liles gave a lot of information that shows they are good "livers." The dining ta ble in the home is large enough for the average sized picnic spread. Three large chickens, or more if friers are used, are re quired when chicken is a part of the menu. "A sheep," said Mr. Liles, "Is sufficient for only three meals, and unless a shoat is ex tra large and the weather warm, it is not necessary for me to salt pork to prevent spoiling before it is eaten; dnd you ought to see my gang make a potato hill go down!" Mrs. Liles insists that they do not have too many children. She says that the saying, "Many hands make light work" is cer tainly a truism on the farm. Mr. Liles cannot make a tree, but he can, within limitations, change a tree from one kind to another kind. If he grows an ap ple tree and the variety does not turn out to be what he wants, by a system of grafting and prim ing he changes the branches of such a tree to varieties which hit into his scheme of orcharding. He can change a hickory tree to a pecan. The most beautiful tree in his plantings is a pecan with a trunk of one variety and the branches of another, which bears superior fruit. For miles around and from nearby towns, people go to the Liles orchard of nearly 2,000 trees to purchase fruit. SHOALY BRANCH Everyone in this community re grets to hear that Mr. and Mrs. H. F.
