Home Gardens To Supply Home
Uses Will Save Southern Folks
In Period Of Economic Crisis
Recently W. R. Beattie, senior
horticulturist of the bureau >f plant
industry, United States Departmen*
cf Agriculture, in a nationally broad
cast radio talk on the farm garden
stated that in every economic crisis
through which the agriculture of
any section of the country has pass
ed the home garden and it her
sources of home food supply have
saved the day.
When the boll weevil struck the
Cotton growing sections, Mr, Beat
tie pointed out, one of the first
steps taken was to start a campaign
for vegetable gardens, poultry, pigs
and cows on every farm so ;hat the
land would at least provide a ntgans
of livelihood. Things haven't hang
ed much and the same principles
apply today. The farmer, however
hard times may be for him, who
plants and cultivates his own gar
den has a form of insurance against
privation and this is denied he city
worker. In this respect he is iar bet
ter off than the thousands if unem
ployed in the cities, many of whom
left the farm at the time of indus
trial prosperity and are now looking
wistfully back at the land.
"If everybody engaged in farm
ing,” Mr. Beattie said in his -dd.ess
"will produce plenty of fruits, vege
tables, milk and butter, • oultiy
and eggs home grown and c ”-'d
pork, also fresh meats to some ex
tent, they can at least have p good
living at home and that is more
than a lot of people who are out of
employment have today. ‘But’ says
the pessimist, 'that will only in
ereaes the difficulty and reduce the
market for foods that are grown in
■a large way for sale.’ Perhaps, pro
vided the farmer has the none?
with which to buy the food, but sup
pose he does not have the money
what then? As ■ matter of fact, it
Is good business and economy to
produce most of the living for the
farm family and the hired help
right on the farm."
In all parts of the countru here
are farsighted agricultural leaders
who are in agreement with Mr.
Beattie in preaching the advantages
of making the farm as much as pos
sible a self-sufficient unit; not only
in these times of agricultural an
general economic depression, ' ut as

Thomas A. Edison, third member
of the famous triumvtarate—
well, he doesn’t even try such

Gathering for the first time
together in more than a year,
Ford, Firestone and Edison had
a chummy reunion.
The motor magnate displayed
his gymnastic ability as he grab

eucailptus tree outside the Edi

“muscled” to touch his chin.*
Then the tire manufacturer tried
his skill. With Mr. Ford’s as

turned loose.
The famous trio sat on the steps
of the Edison laboratory and dis
cussed business in general, as the
tropical sun beat down upon their
bared heads.

Shelby High, State Champs, To
Play First Baseball Contest Of
Season With Cherryville Friday
Remnants Of 19.10 Champion
ship Team (Jets First
Test Here.
The first game of the year
Friday afternoon! Baseball's
debut in Shelby for 1911!
The place is at the Shelby
High park and Cherryville, al
ways a season opener for
Shelby, will furnish the oppo
sition.
It will not only bo the first
glimpse of the national past time
for this section In 1931, but it will
also be the lirst test for what is left
of the fast-moving 1930 club which
brought a fourth state champion
ship to Shelby.
Which is to say that the old fans
along the stands will be out looking
for future Ralph Gillespies, Cline
Lees, Dutch Whisnarvts, and Sher
rill Hamricks.
Need A Star.
And the old-timers have every
right to be looking for a new star to
replace the scintillating favorites of
other days. Shelby baseball teams,
especially the four championship
clubs, have always been perfect
team-working machines, but nearly
every one of them was built around
some outstanding individual per
former who pulsed and paced the
inspired play of the others. Years
ago the play of Glenn Cline Lee oir
short, the catching and hitting of
Fred Beam, tire catching of Ralph
Gillespie, and the pitching of Wil
bur Wall, Dutch Whisnant and
others keep the others on the team
keyed' to a perfect pitch. In later
years Cline Lee came along to pace
a championship team with his hit
ting and fielding as did his o’der
brother. And Jack Hoyle and Sher
rill Hamrick stepped on the mound
to pitch clubs all the way through
Another great scholastic catcher
bobbed up In Hal Parris, and Hum
rick and Farris i jrmed one of the
greatest high school batteries North
Carolina has ever seen. Ask the club
that fell before them last year,
! But what player will act as the
spark plug this year? Nearly all of
the 1930 stars are gone. Of those
remaining there is Shorty McSwain,
the basketball captain and the star
football back, at second base. He
may be the leader. Then on short is
Mayhew, the big fellow who came
along rapidly last year to help fans
forget how Cline I-ec grabbed the
hot ones. He has in him the mak
ing of a good ball player. He may
be the leader. Then there are sev
eral others with experience who will
see action this year. Most of them
are outfielders. Perhaps they will
supply the punch. But the biggest
gap will likely he on the hillock. For
n year or two when things began to
look gloomy for Shelby the fans let
the; cheers roll when the lanky
Hamrick strolled out to the mound
and unlimbered his long right arm.
Tills year there is no Hamrick
Maybe Big Peters, the South Shel
by boy, can replace him, or one of
the hurlers.
Those are the several things the
superiors of the 1930 state cham
pions will be wondering when they
go to the park to see the Cherry -
ville game Friday.
But reports from the practice ses
sions this week indicate that Coach
Morris to not very optimistic about
finding a brilliant new star. Here
tofore he has believed that hto teams
have kept, marchtng through the
best ones In the state because, for
the most part, they knew where to
throw the ball when they got hold
of it, and when not to throw it; and
because, too, they were trained to
know’ when a bunt might come roll
ing lazily along the third base line
and likewise had been trained to
make the most of every hit bv
stretching their bases and stealing
a few when they couldn't be
stretched.
For a week or more every candi
date for the team has been bunt
ing ’em, making plays here and
there, learning, in other words, the
fundamentals of Uie game—how to
play baseball. In bygone years Shel
by's four championship teams have
been in tight places against teams
as good as they were li\ hitting,
lidding and pitching, but Shelby
came through In the pinches be
cause the boys seemed to know a
little more, were a little calmer, and
would not blow up. Remember the
Mt. Airy game when Shelby took
half as many hits as the visitors and
won? Remember other games that
were won by bunting at an unex
pected time, by stealing a base at a
surprising moment, or by other
heads-up play?
Friday afternoon the 1930 cham
pions will open up for 1931 in thetr
own backyard. Over the state,
coaches and players will be wanting j
to know "what that Shelby bunch j
looks like this year." And, of course,
the home town fans will too. The
spring weather has brought along
the baseball fever.

coaches as they go Into their first

According to Lowell Thomas, the
song "Tell Mother I’ll Be There,”
which used to have the greatest
pulling power In evangelistic serv
ices, has lost its ancient charm. The
reason is. perhaps, that there’s no
use telling the modern mother you’ll
be there, because there’s no telling
where, she’ll be herself.—Philadel
