Game protector, M. B. Higgins has reported 18 deer killed in the Flat Top area. Those included in the kills in the Mt. Mitchell area, from this coun ty, ar e Willard Tipton, Ralph Byrd Leo Good, George Buchanan and Fred Hensley of Asheville, former ly of Burnsville. Lee Boone, manager of the Mt. Mitchell Game Refuge, reported that h e made one arrest from Granite Falls Tuesday. The hunter was charged with killing a small buck without visible antlers, and he was fined $32.00. Boone also re ported one other arrest this month from Forest City, charged with trespassing with firearms in the 1 Refuge, there was a fine of $32,00,_ and he reported four arrests in October for trespassing in Refuge with firearms. All were fined * $32.00. Yancey County residents report ed as killing deer on the Flat Top ■ area included Clayton Whitson, t Mack B. Ray, Conrad Murphy, and Hughie Ray of Mars Hill. Os course others of the county hav e bagged deer since the season opened hut the Record- has had no advice of other kills. The paper would appreciate receiving infor mation from county hunters re garding their kills. The opening of the season this year has been during a period of the most comfortable hunting wea ther recorded in several years, al though it has not been weather which has given best advantage to the hunter according to re ports. Fog holding qn until late in the day has hampered hunters in spotting deer, and the exception ally warm weather has probably rrtartfed' movement' of deer during daylight period.

Burley tobacco grading demon strations were well attended this - year in Yancey County! The increase in attendance was due, at least partially, to the way tobacco was selling on the basis of grade at the end of the market ing season. The Ramseytown demonstration, sponsored by the Community Club, had an attendance of 24 growers and most of them brought 10-12 stalks of their own tobacco to be graded. Many growers, at the Jacks I Creek demonstration, remarked that it was the most practical de monstration they had ever had. Mr, Flnck, Government Grader, stressed the importance of sorting the leaf with its proper grade, re marking that the tobacco com panies preferred to make their own i blends and that the grower would I ilso be better off from the stand point of the government support L price. I O'hor features st-'-'saed were I production practices, curing barns, flourescent light, tables, and I grading rooms. NOTICE North Carolina license tags and title transfers available at.
