Klsselburg, county office
manager writes "There Is no
better lnvestmentln any farm

and the use of the Information
on the seed tag Is a good place
to begin."
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Who knows why Clay County
la listed In the World Almanac
with two county seats, Hayes
vllle and Brasstown. why
Cleveland County, N, C. has
tow seats. Kings Mountain and
Shelby, why Martin County, N,
C. has two seats listed,
Wllllmstan and Hamilton. I'm
at a loss because I have never
heard of a county having more
than one county seat. The ans
wer Is somewhere, do you have
It?
