PAGE TWO [THE *yANGEYj BECOKQ Established July. 1986 LESSOR ARNEY POX EDITOR and PUBLISHER ERLING TONESS Published Every Thtmdaf By YANCEY PUBLISHING COMPANY A Partnership Entered u second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Poet Office, Bnnurrille, North Carolina, under the act es March 3, 1879, ■ Editorial Comment It is gratifying to publish good news about otir county such as the farm income story on today’s front page. Even though the good showing made by most of the demonstration farmers is not typical of all farming in Yancey- County, their achieve ment shows 'that it can be done. Our mountain land can be rea sonably productive as well as scenic. The natural resources are here for those who know how to make use of them —and who apply what they know. The agricultural agencies in this county are a resource which undoubtedly too few farmers utilize. The workers in these agencies are willing and able to furnish a wealth of “know-how” without which a farmer may work from can till can’t without * getting anywhere. Os course it is not always easy for a family to organize its time and energies effectively to apply the knowledge that it does possess: Family teamwork and high morale are essential. And in relation to family team work and morale the commun ity plays an important role. Neither parents nor children can throw themselves whole heartedly into their family farm enterprise if farming is a drab and lonely way of living. A real live-wire community can go far toward making farm S families not only happier but more prosperous. .ML / ■ ■ J ■ .

SAVE TIME BY WEANING HEAVIER PIGS Research has proved that early gains are cheaper gains. That’s why it is so important to pile pounds on pigs early. Look at this simple table. On the left is the weaning weight and on the right is the time re quired to reach market weight (200-225 lbs.) for pigs weaned at the weights at left. 25-30 lbs. 6 1-2 months 30-40 lbs. 6 months 40-50 lbs. 5 1-2 months 50-60 lbs, 5 months To help you wean pigs even &•' mt v•- - --v—■ ' ■ I JET |L Deyton Farm Supply : VIOLET RAYS t ON OUR WAYS By H. M. Alley i . *# # * Note: This column is written - with malice toward none, but i with the common good of all in s mind. r•» • • l At last, at last! Now all the good citizens of Yancey County i who have b een wondering what t ever happened to our represen i tative, Mr. Mark Bennett, can ; be assured that he is still in > the land of the living and be ’ ginning to register in the coun ’ cils of the law-making body at ; Raleigh, N. Car. Last week’s Record mentioned the fact that i he had introduced a bill to turn i over to the Superior Court the cases formerly tried in the late . Recorder’s Court of Yancey ; County. Thus has the final , death knell been sounded for ■ the former weekly (and weakly) . County Court. Atta, boy, Mark! And now 1 your constituents, in fact yo\J' whole County will b e awaiting 1 notice that the promised legisla ’ tion regarding Primary elec tions, and the Absentee Vote has been introduced and proper | ly championed. Time is running 1 out, you know. #* * • Speaking of the Absentee 1 Vote, there seems to be a grow- id Royce Lee Howell faster this year Purina has in troduced Purina Baby Pig Chow. It’s dynamite. Pigs take to it ' soon after famowing because it 1 tastes so good! Feed only one • bag per litter then switch to Purina Pig Startena to keep 'em ' going to market in a hurry. We 1 haw both products, so order now. ’ i Look for distress signs [ around brooder Experienced poultrymen can , quickly tell by the appearance ■ and sound of their chicks whe [ ther they are comfortable and doing well.. > But, to help those who are > not so experienced here are some helpful ideas. If chicks b ed down far from I the brooder edge, they are too hot. Cool down the stove. Room may also be too warm or too ■ stuffy. Check ventilation. > ! When chicks crowd up close , to and under hover, they may , be cold. Shrill peeping also is , an indication that chicks are ; too cold. When chilled they won’t i eat or drink. Provide more heat. If you’re debating whether to start your layers this year or not to start any the people who study records of past years say r that a good year always follow a i poor one. That has definitely i been the case for the last few years. If this year fallows the i pattern it’s the year to have t them. Next Saturday, March 26, t we’re having our first free chick I day. This time you buy 10 chicks and then we give you 10 to go with them. You can have your own broilers in 8 to ten weeks— Don’t forget—next Saturday. All you need is a box to put i them in. ***+***»**-»» **•*•*****■*** •* POETRY CORNER Conducted By Edith Deaderiek Brel Wm “THE HOUSE IN THE WOOD” (Home of the Crosby Adame) A green hill climbing toward the sky Was pausing gently to bestow Its gift before it mounted high.

Here’s hoping she will be content to play the Lamb’s role right on through the last scene and act. With fish, ing fever "rising so rapidly and spreading like a contagion, a sudden reversion on the part of Old Dame weather to winter tactics could bring on some rather disappointing chills. And that among the early Gardeners as well as the fishermen. ** » * Speaking of Gardening and such like, —at our house *wc planted exactly two hundred and six tulip bulbs, in late November and by actual count we now have 206 tulips up and thriving. These are planted in front of Faith Fellowship Mis- sion Building in East Burnsville, where everybody can enjoy them with us. Here’* hoping every reader of this oolumn will steft to see these and other flowers in season. ** « # A few months ago it was bur privilege to visit and spend several days in a "beautiful Mountain Resort Town. One thing that impressed us even before we entered into the town ‘proper was';a* series of signs several mites ' out announcing •and "inviting - visitors ■ • to- the principle lodging places and points of scenicg.interest. Dur ing our stay we found that this was also-true on two other main entrances into the town. Seeing this interest on the part of the town’s Chamber of Commerce as well as its busi ness .places* brought to mind again a matter that we have ■more than once, mentioned in this .column,—the need for large colorfully.
