Shipped in Ton of Hay for Every Farm in Cleveland County (Extension Service.) Three hundred and fortyone car loads of hay valued at $102,.‘100.00 have been shipped into Cleveland county during the past 12 months, or one ton of hay for every farm in Cleveland county. Every farmer should take in ventory of this livestock and raise two tons of hay for every* cow or horse on the farm as that is the amount re quired for each horse or cow per year. If you don’t have enough hay to run you, now js the time to make your plans to raise your hay. M. S. Beam of Waco, says that su^ dan grass is one of the best plants to Sow for hay at this time of year as it can be cut more than once. Sudan grass does best on rich moist land and two or three tons of hay can bo raised per acre which is equal in feed ing value to timothy hay. Sudan grass can be sown any time up to the 2Uth of June. Sow fifteen to twenty pounds of seed per acre broadcast or five or six pounds when planted in two foot rows to be cultivated. Sorghum planted in rows or sown broad cast will also make an enormous : amount of feed per acre and is a good j hay. i The farmer who buys hay is fight : ing a losing game. Great Possibilities Dover Mill Church . Plans on Foot for $10,000 Baptist Church—Possibilities for Mem bership of 600 At the joint meeting of the Dover : Baptist church and Shelby First Bap tist church congregations Sunday, Rev. ! J. \V. Davis pastor at Dover Mill stat i ed that there tire possibilities for a ! church membership of 600 when the | new Ora Cotton Mill is completed and ! in operation. The new church started I in July last year and already it lias ! a membership of TO with 175 express. :ing a leaning or preference to the Baptist denomination. The average at tendance at the Sunday School is over 100 while the average Sunday School collection is ten cents per member, which exceeds the contribution at the First Baptist church Sunday school. The Dover Mill now has something ov er 400 people on its pay-roll and when the new Ora'mill is completed and in operation, this number of employees in that new mill section will in all prob ability be doubled. It was pointed out that when Mr. Dover built the Ella Mill and the Second Baptist church was started, it had a membership of less than 25, yet in twenty years the membership had grown to around 600. The attendance at the Dover Mill Baptist church and Sunday school would be much better if the room to accommodate the crowd was ample, but at present the congregation ha? no house of worship and in order to get one, the Baptists outside of that community are given a chance to con tribute. The First Baptists of Shelby have contributed about $2,500. Other pledges will no doubt be made so the campaign is well under way and pros pects look good for a suitable new church building this year or next.

Store in cool -dry place. Every farmer who is interested in the fair and advertising Cleveland county should plan now to exhibit something at the fair.

Argument Over Cow Eating Some Harness. Hickory, May 25.—A coroner’s in quest whs held yesterday over tire. Cody of Hilary Bowman, aged 42, as prosperous farmei of Alexander coun ty, who is said to have been killed late 'Friday afternoon by his son,,Ed Bow man, age 21, in a brawl that grew out of an argument over a piece of wagon I harness. The younger man is said to have been careless with this, allow | ing cattle to chew it up. A full report of the coroner's jury verdict was not made public but it said that the verdict was that j Bowman's death was caused by a -mall, sharp pointed instrument other than the ,.xe which was first reported as the weapon used. The brawl continued for sometime lit was said by neighbors, and grew I more heated until the tragedy was en j acted at a woodpile, where the two had gone to cut wood, According to first ] reports, the injuries were said to have, been caused when the axe the younger nianWas using flew off the handle and j struck the older man near the heart.

SUVEX HOI RS OF SLEEP ENOKiH, SAYS DOCTOR Detriot. May 2Y—It's all bunk about early to bed and early to rise making a man healthy. Doctor Chester I’. Brown, associate medical director of one of the conn, try’s biggest insurance companies says a man ought to have seven hours’ sleep out of twenty-four. It doesn't make much difference when he gets it, so long as he gets it, and the man who stays abed until noon is conserving his health if it is a part ot the seven houcs needed. You can always spot a man who eats gapt tt in - '. ** aiise hfc -pet:. him Cleveland Ranks Fifth in Stale* in Low Death Rate. Leads Except for Smaller Counties. Cleveland county has more to “press agent" than merely being: one of tho leading: cotton counties of the state. For by statistics recently published by the State University the death rate in the county is lower than that of any other large county in the state and only fifth of all the counties in the state. Which means that the famous “year-round climate of Cleveland” as boosted by local resorts is not merely publicity palaver, and that health does abide with the sturdy farm folk of the foothills. The death rate in Ch"eland coun ty in 1923 per 1,000 inhabitants was 7.7. In Mecklenburg and Guilford it was 12.0 per 1,000 inhabitants; in Gaston 12.0; Forsyth 14; New Hanover 1 1.2; Buncombe 18.8. Graham, Yancey, Avery and Hyde counties rank ahead of Cleveland for low death rate, while Transylvania has the same rate. How ever, total deaths in any of the four counties ranking ahead of Cleveland did not reach one hundred, while 2711 deaths occurred in Cleveland during the year. According to the state av erage Cleveland ranks almost five deaths less per one thousand inhabi tants than the average. The figures as given out by the Bu reau of Vital statistics show that— State total of deaths 112,296 or 12 deaths per 1,000 population; United States, 12.4 deaths per 1,000 popula tion. Graham county had the lowest death rate and the fewest deaths. Buncombe led in the number of deaths and in the late, due to her numerous hospitals for tuberculosis and other ills. A few other counties rank low for similar rea sons. The table of the five counties with, the lowest death rate follows: Rank County Deaths Per 1,000 Inhahs. 1. —Graham 16 3.2 2. —Yancey - 18 5.4 3. —Avery _70 6.6 4. —Hyde .. 64 7.6 5. —Cleveland _ . 279 7.7 Scout Boys Ride Bicycles To Chimney Rock And Return (Special to The Star.) Friday afternoon. May 22, three scouts from Troop 2 of this city, Gil more Singleton, Floyd Mauney anti Eugene Hoyle, started to Chimney •>ek at 1:85 o’clock on their bicycles. The three* scouts and also their bi cycles got along nicely until Forest City was reached. Just as they enter ed Forest City, something got wrong with the brakes on Hoyle’s bicycle. However it wasn’t but a few minutes until the bicycle was taken to a shop to he repaired. When the shop was reached the owner was absent much to the disappointment of the boys. After getting permission from the owner’s wife, Singleton soon secured a few tools and occupied or at least made an attempt to occupy the po sition of a mechanic. It was an hour or longer until Singleton proved him self an "Xpert mechanic in the line of repairing brakes on bicycles. Af ter the wheel was in good running condition their journey which seemed to them v ry long was renewed. They arrived ..t Chimney Rock at eight j o'clock that night and had a supper i which, according to th tasted bet I ter than any they iiad ever eaten. When their supper was finished a camping site was selected near the river on the outskirts of the town and in a few minutes their bed was prepared. After loafing around town a short while the boys returned to camping place and retired. The next morning was Saturday and the scouts were up bright and early feeling good. After eating their breakfast they rode around on their bicycles getting in trim for the return home which was to take place that after noon. It wasn’t long until the boys had eaten their dinner and had started back to Shelby at 12:45, They did not have any trouble in their return home. The three scouts boast of their record of not walking up a single hill going or coming. They arrived here at twenty minutes past six, and said they had a nice time regardless of the hardships.
