Take Soil Reserve Applications The sign-u p’under the 1959 Con - I nervation reserve of the Soil Bank is how open in every ASC Office in North Carolina. According to Fred L. Anglin of the Yancey County Office, t-h£ first step in the sign-up is for the farmer who is interested jq the program to come to the,. ASC County Office before the deadline the end of this month and request that annuaL rental payment rates be established' for his farm. At fhd same time the farmer should bring with him- information to be used by the County ASC Committee in establishing rates -for his farm. The chief facts need ed, Anglin said, are acreages and yields of the three principal crops on the ,farm for the past two years and acreages for other land use on the farm. The conservation reserve is the only soil bank program available for 1959. Under the program far mers retire land from general .crops for up to 10 years and* de vote the reserved acreage to soil water, or wildlife conservation practices. The government makes an annual a pa,yment for the land and will also share in the cost of establishing thte conservation prac tices. The average rental payment rate for conservation reserve land in Yancey County in the 1959 pro gram is $17.00 per acre per year. Payment rates wil be higher for the most productive farms and lower - for less productive farms. Another rate 10 percent higher will be available if all eligible land on the farm is put in the re serve for at least five years. ’,' t ' Club Sponsors Spaghetti Dinner The Booster’s Club of the East Yancey High School is sponsoring a spaghetti and oppn house at the school Friday night, Sep tember 19 at 7:00 p. m.

The open house is planned to acquaint'“parents and other per sons interested in the school with! the new school plant including fa cilities and organizational opera tion. Outlook For Burley Crop Good The outlook for a good hurley tobacco crop is favorable at this time, according to E. L. Dilling ham, county agent. A favorable curing season with no early freeze will result in as much yield per 1 acre as the 1957 crops! Mr. Dill ingham stated. The small amount of hurley was damaged early in the season by the heavy rainfall and som e dis ease, while some late tobacco has suffered from dry weather and may not r ipen before cutting time. However, even with the small acreage which was put in the Soil Bank Reserv e this yean- it now seems that the tobacco crops will 1 weigh about the same as th e 1957 crop, Mr. reported.

Friday’s game was the beginning of an eight game schedule for the Cane River Rebels, three of them to be played at home. Other gam es scheduled here are Hot Springs High School on October 17th at 1:00 p. m. ( and East Yancey High School sometime in November. The Cane River team is coached by Glenn Painter,; former Lee Edwards High School and High Point College star. Painter was head coach of Walnutt Marshall and North Buncomb e high schools before coming to Can e River High School. "•* In the game ... Friday Walnut scored th e first touchdown after recovering a fumble on the Re ' bels’ forty yard lin e early in the game. Moving downfield with a series of plays, Roberts of Walnut went over to score on a line plunge from the three yard line. The extra point play was good with a right end run. On the kick-off by the Panthers following the touchdown the ball was placed on the twenty yard line after landing in the end zone. The Rebels moved the ball back to the forty yard line on a series of ground plays. Frofn the forty on a second down play, quarter back Lester Mille r faded back to pass and connected with end Bob by Hensley on the twenty five yard line. Hensley galloped un touched into the end zon e for a sixty yard touchdown play. The Rebels failed on their try for the extra point and this touchdown was their only score of the game. The half ended with a 7-6 score. The Rebels received the kick-off at the beginning of the second half. An attempted third down pass by the Rebels was intercept ed by Roberts of Walnut on the Rebel forty yard line. Roberts ran the ba’J back to the end marker for the second Walnut touchdown. The try for the extra point failed, leaving th e score 13-6 in favor of Walnut. The Rebels only other chance to score came after they had blocked a kick and recovered on the Pan thers’ five yard line. Wal nut regaHted the ball on a fumble and held it the remainder of the game, grinding out yardage and killing time. Inexperience seemed to hurt the Rebel cause more than ability or know how. Coach Painter had high praise for linemen Ivan Woody and Bobby Gus Randolph) and end Bobby Hensley, and for fullback Billy Lewi: - who ground out yard age on offense and who was in on practically every tackle on defense. The beginning of the football program at Cane River High School was made possible by the Booster’s Club, an organized group of parents and supporters who pre sently ar e raising' money to equip the team.
