The keynote of the plan which has proved so successful for Worley Ayers, is diversified farming. The plan, worked out with the help of FHA, includes beef cattle, milk cows, burley tobacco, peppers, various vege table crops, and small fruits, j When Ayers purchased his farm in 1948, it was poorly da-, veloped, with only 8.3 acres in cultivation. That first year he had only two ”weed stacks” for his two milk cows. Now he has 33.8 in cultivation, and last year he put up nearly nine tons of alfalfa, from 1.7 acre, feeding two mules and nine head of cattle on his own hay, plus 5 to 6 months of pasture. He has also seeded around 10 acres of new ground with ladino and orchard grass. His corn yield, averaging 50 bushels per acre, does not sound impressive until one re alizes that the corn was grown on newly cleared ground which was steep and unpromising to begin with. Ayers has grown peppers commercially for three seasons. In 1953 hfe had the highest pep per yield in the county—l3oo pounds from one acre—and the highest net cash return— s3so.4o plus a SSO first prize for his yield. In 1954, remembered by pepper growers for the dis couraging frosts, he had about half a stapd of peppers and still came out second in the county in both yield and net returns. This year he grew his own pep per plants. He cleared $175 on .7 acre. His .8 acre burley allotmert in 1954 yielded 2042 pounds, which brought him $1059 above For’s6 choose FORD...

This year he Rad -a .8 acre allotment, yielding about 1800 pounds. The eetlmat ed income is SMO.i One bit of enterprise which enables Worley Ayers to get a head start on some of his agri cultural production is growing his own plants. This year he grew not only pepper plants, but also tobacco, cabbage, and sweet potato, for his own farm and to sell to others in the community. A large, diversified vegetable garden each summer means good eating all the year ’round for the Ayers family, and a sav , ing of some SBOO considering I what the food would cost if pur chased. One year’s harvest for home use included 750 quarts of fruits and vegetables (home canned), two hogs of 300 pounds each, 25 bushels Irish potatoes, 40 bushels sweet pota r toes and cabbage, and 15 bush els of fruit. As in any success ful farm family, the work of the wife is' an important factor, and Worley’s wife, Velma, has put her shoulder to the wheel as an. effective working partner. They have four children: Eve lyn Carol, 16; George Martin, 11; Mary t Kathryn, 8; and Nancy Jane, 6. —_ The Ayers home has been made steadily more comfort able and attractive by their own efforts, under improvement plans worked out with the help of FHA. Some of the improve ments are a stone foundation, painting, running water, and the installation of a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a hot water tank. One problem which had handicapped the Ayers in their farming was an inadequate road leading to their place. Just re cently they and their neighbors of the Green Mountain Com munity succeeded, through or ganized effort, in getting a State-maintained road in the community. This new road has added between SIOOO and SISOO j to the value of the Ayers farm. Counlry Squire A queen among station wagons.

For two more years he continued doing some teaching and some law practice. At the. age of 23, Charles Hut chins was nominated for re ore tentative? to the General Assem bly of North Carolina. His op ponent was R. W. Wilson, his 'aw partner. Since the election •esulted in a tie, the Board of Elections had to decide the mat ter. The Board consisted of two Democratic members and one Republican member. Hutchins was a member of the Board. .Ie cast the deciding vote fpr ‘he Democratic candidate lilmself! This is undoubtedly one of the few times in history (fiat a man has voted twice for himself in the same election, legally. The youngest member of the General Assembly, he was call ed ‘‘the baby of the Assembly,” hut this did not prevent him from being an effectual mem ber. During this session he in troduced a bill requiring the "lunty commissioners to issue $150,000 in bonds to grade the oublic roads of the county, ana providing that the work should 1 be in charge of a road commis sion of three men named in the ; bill. This was the first great ' step in providing a county sys te'm of graded roads. Thus “the baby of the Assembly” was also called ‘‘the father o fthe Yancey County graded road system.” He was a member of the Gen eral Assembly of 1929 and of 1933, servihg throughout three regular sessions and one spec- 1 : ial session of the legislature. . In the session 6f 1933 he secur : ed the passage of a law delay , ing the foreclosure of real esta • te for taxes, to help people'hold their homes until they could ; pay their taxes.

Charles Hutchins practiced law over a wide area ToT 45 years and was known as one of the best trial lawyers in Wes tern North Carolina. He had a reputation for being able to plunge into a case with little or no preparation. In his practice he was called to Asheville in . important cases. He did the necessary legal work in setting up the Mt. Mitchell State Pa;rk. Outstanding among Hutch ins’ personal traits was his sense of humor, and in youth, his prankishness. He once de* cided that the best way to con trol an unruly horse • was to make blinds for the animal out of the backs of old Bibles, a project which, he carried out. Re was noted as a raconteur, with a great storehouse of an ecdotes. His sense of humor was used effectively in his law practice. He could use ridicule as a weapon, if need be, and sometimes had certain cases literally laughed out of court, after he had wittily revealed how trivial they were. Charles Hutchins belonged to the Baptist Church, which he once served as clerk. He was a member of the North Carolina Literary and Historical Asso ciation at Rajeigh, one of the oldest and most notable of such organizations in the country.
