Eyes . Glasses fitted. yield has* been unsatisfactory. The general practice of most farmers in the county has been to sow all small grain on corn land after the corn has been shocked. By the time the com is cut and the land prepared for barley, the growing season is too short for it to get satisfactory start before cold weather. Rye Abrunzi rye has not been, look ed upon as favorably by the farmers of the county as its good qualities seem to demand. It has given excellent results on warm natured land both grazing and for grain, but on cold natur ed land it has a tendency to freeze out. More rye is being .sown in the county each year as la cover crop, as a winter graz ing crop, and for green manur ing purposes. More farmers are learning that it pays to turn under a crop of rye for field beans to add humus bo the soil and prevent washing. Alfalfa Very few farmers have tried growing Alfalfa. So far, the results from these efforts have been unsatisfactory. Two farmers are now growing Sweet Clover with the idea of inoculating the soil so they can grow Alfalfa.

Roberson, Mgr. at wholesale prices. The kind and (amount of grass seed bought were as follows: Common Lesped eza. 2,000 lbs; Korean Lespedeza, 2,582 pounds; Lespedeza Sericea, 100 pounds; Red Clover, 445 pounds; Mammoth Clover, 1,654 pounds; White Dutch Clover, 95 pounds; Sweet Clover, 265 pounds; Timothy, 1,432 pounds; Red Top, 730 pounds; Orchard Grass, 1,104 pounds, Alsike Clover, 77 pounds; Blue Grass, 46 pounds and mea dow Oat Grass, 24 pounds. Lespedeza The following varieties of Les pedeiza were grown in the county this year: Korean, Kobe, Com mon, Tennessee 76, Harbin and Sericea. Korean and Common Lesped eza were the two varieties most generally grown. This has been an exceptionally good Lespedeza year, and the farmers were very much pleased with the growth made by the varieties. Common Lespedeza is fast gaining in favor with farmers for sowing on old pasture fields. Some of these fields which were sown to Common Lespedeza one, two and three years ago, have developed almost perfect stands, and they furnished an abundance of grazing during July, August and September on fields which would have had very poor pasture during this time. Mr. O. F. McCrary, District Agent, sent a few ounces of Har bin Lespedeza seed to the county for demonstration purposes. This seed came up readily and made a rapid growth until the middle of August when it matured seed and the plants died. These plants reached a height of about six inches. The Harbin showed very little promise as a valuable crop for this section, except prob ably as a crop for cold, high pasture land where other varie ties will not reseed very well. One hundred pounds of Seri cea seed were bought by twenty farmers of the county. In a large number of instances poor stands were obtained, but where good stands were hfid this Les pedeza made a very good growth. raiturea Twenty farmers sowed Common Lespedeza on old pastures for pasture improvement. Where a liberal amount of seed was sown on old pastures this year, and on fields which had been in Com mon Lespedeza for two or more years, the pastures doubled their amount of grazing during the months of July, August and Sep tember. Common Lespedeza within the last year or two has been rapidly spreading to pasture fields where it had not been sown, and it is now being found in pasture fields of farms where the seed have never been sown. Soybeans One farmer who failed to in oculate his soy-bean seed before planting had to make an attach ment to his mowing machine to collect hjs soybean hay. The vines were small and the foliage yel low, making a light yield of poor quality soybean hay. On neigh boring farms where the seed were inoculated a good yield of soy bean hay was made. The acreage planted to soy beans this year was below the usual planting due to the high price fanners had to pay for seed last spring. V The farmer^ who grew soy bean hay in 1933 and fed this hay to their sheep last winter reported a good lamb crop that made very fine gains. Field Beans On a fertilizer demonstration with Birdeye beans where 500 pounds of 5-8-6 fertilizer per acre were used, a yield of 14 bushels per acre was made- On the adjoining acre where 200 pounds of 16% fertilizer per acre were used, a yield of 9 bushels of beans per acre was made. The heavy application of high grade fertilizer cost $5.37 more per acre and the value of the beans was $15.00 more than on the acre where the light ap plication of low grade fertilizer was used. Mr. Dillon Edwards, Ennice, grew a 14 acre field of Pink Kidney beans which made a yield of 269 bushels and which were sold for $3.00 per bushel and brought the sum of $807.00. The cost of producing these beans was as follows: Plowing and har rowing, $42.00; planting, $15.00; twenty-one bushels of seed beans, $78.75; twenty bags fertilizer, $50.00; cultivating, $25.00; pull ing beans, $30.00; threshing beans, $40.00, making a total cost of $280.00 for producing the beans. The value of the beans less the cost of production leaves $527.26 profit on this crop of beans- If $10.00 per acre is figured from this amount for land rental there would still be $887.26 profit above all costs in produc ing the beans. Mr. Edwards sows rye on his com land as soon as the corn is i out in order to have a cover crop to turn under for beans the folMWrtHfr' year. (to be continued) Motor Co, for tuboo and' sor tfe. Tlhclir IRcfuge Life has crowded many blessin’s Into years that we have known Since the day my boyhood sweetheart Said she’d be my very own! Yes, we’ve had a heap o’ sunshine, Seasoned just a bit with tears— But the best of all our blessin’s Were those swiftly passin’ years When our children still were with us An’ the house was filled with noise— Ringin’ with the jokes an’ laughter Of those happy girls an’ boys! Days like that are swift in goin’; Soon our children went away, leavin’ home an’ hearts more lonely ■^k Than the lips can ever say. But we get a lot o’ comfort From the feelin' that they know, Out there in the world o’ business Where they’re givin’ blow for blow, That we’re workin’ and we’re savin’ ; So, whatever may befall, This old home is still their refuge An’we’ll hear ’em when they call! r Lauureace# j_Jawtkocae. Washington News For U. S. Farmers I From TIMES Washington Bureau COTTON IMPORTANT The State Department, at the' direction of President Roosevelt, is investigating the possibility of selling American surplus cotton abroad. In addition Secretary Hull is “sounding out” Great Britain on a proposed interna tional agreement similar to the wheat limitation pact. While the staple is of supreme economic importance to our southern farmers, it Has been a j tremendous asset to the nation’s' foreign trade, and officials believe that the recapture of that j trade may depend ' upon the j clearing up of the world situation in regard to cotton. 193S A BETTER YEAR Farmers are expecting better j times as they begin 1935, | largely as a result of increased; farm income last year and the1 prospect that the same will be the case this year. There can be little doubt but that the dwindling farm income, experienced during the decade after 1921, was in some great measure responsible for the lack of buying power in this country which, in turn, caused what has been called the “famine of plenty.” It is hard to understand why millions of people in the world lack clothes and food to eat and, at the same time, farmers are unable to secure anything like a profitable price for all they can produce. However, such has been the case and controlled production is the only present avenue of gain for farmers. WALLACE TALKS OUT One may not agree with Sec retary Wallace, but there are few men in public life who are apparently more willing to face facts and attempt to draw con clusions from them. The head of the Department of Agriculture is frank to call the processing taxes “internal tariffs” and even to admit that farmers, once they taste the payments, ' will act just like industry and seek to secure higher bonuses. Agriculturists, however, should bear in mind that while the peo ple of the United State are in favor of processing taxes in order to give to farmers a fair share of the nation’s-profits and are willing to pay them to the "parity” mark, they will certainly rebel if food prices ,are shot upward beyond a reasonable point. ORGANIZING IMPORTANT Once again we call attention to farmers, who read this, column, that there is no substitute for organization to protect their in terests. Labor is organized, so are the veterans and what industry, busi ness and finance does in the way of cooperation to secure profits is too well known to be stated. Against such a combination the only chance that an agriculturist has is to stick with his brother farmers and keep sticking. We are not among those who hail every farmer as a ‘nobleman’ because we are willing to admit that, as a class, they are about as other people are. You will find selfish ones and those willing to wreck everything for their own profit. There ,are some who will cheat and swindle if they get a chance. On the whole, however, far mers compare favorably with other classes of our people. They are human beings, like everybody else, and want to im prove their position, if possible. Organization is the road they must travel. Let it be voluntary, if possible; if it won’t co.ne this way, let us back the government in such measures as may be necessary for the end in view. Mt. Zion 1 Piney Creek P. O., Feb. 4.— Rev. J. C. Swaim, of Nathans Creek, delivered an interesting iermon nt Mt. Zion Sunday. Paul Fields is spending some time with his sister, Mi.;. E. F. McNeer, of Elkin. Elizabeth Fender, of Piney Creek, visited June Cox recently. Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Swaim and daughter were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Jones Sun day. C. D. Roup, of Scottville, has moved to this community re cently. Mrs. Mary Cox spent the week end with her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Shepherd, of Furches. Mrs. George F. Smith and Mrs. H. Clay Smith visited Mrs. W. R. Jones and Mrs. W. F. Pugh re cently. W. F. Pugh visited his son, r. E. Pugh, Sunday afternoon. The store of J. C. Pugh was robbed one night last week. Miss Ethel Pugh visited Mrs. Carrie Smith and Mattie Smith one day last week. Jesse Cox, John and Ray Ab sher and A. J. and Cecil Hill visited Thomas Smith last week. Those visiting Mrs. Rebecca Smith last week were Mr. and Mrs. George F. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Smith and children and Georgie Cox. Mrs. Smith is not as well as usual. Pointed Mrs. Wiggins—What did the minister say this morning? Mrs. Wiggins—His sermon was about the Garden of Eden. I don’t think he was very nice about it. He reminded his con gregation that Eve did not realize that she lacked clothing until she ate the apple—and then he looked right at some of us leading women and said, very emphatically, “Sometimes I wish some of the women in this church would eat an apple.” Vice Versa The summer boarder asked: Why is it that old hog keeps try ing to come into my room? Do you think he has taken a fancy to me? Little Willie explained it. He whispered: “Why, that’s his room during the winter?” YOUR FAMILY WILL ENJOY by JtAH ALUM Ue will publish in (life column regular!) the very la«r«l reeipei and food new*, developed Mid Mild by the Kroger Food Foundation.

Ju.t write our Food Editor, hi rare of thi* paper. « e will be plraaed to aee that your questions are answered helpfully ai Breaking Breakfast Monotony by Jean Allen People are coming more and more to realize what doctors have known and preached for a long time—that breakfast is just as important as dinner. We don’t expect our automobile to use their piston rings and bearings for fuel when the gasoline is exhausted, but because our bodies are so wonderfully constructed that they can use their own important tissues for fuel, we often make unreasonable demands of them that we would not think of mak ing of a piece of machinery. The foolish fad of going without breakfast either to save time, or as a means of reducing, is tak ing its toll. Our bodies have their own ways of getting back at us if we impose upon them, by reducing our efficiency or even permanently damaging our health. Breakfast should furnish from one-fourth to one-third of the day’s energy requirements, and therefore should not only be ade quate in amount, but must be eaten quietly and without hurry. Food eaten when we are “in a dither’’ of excitement serves more for a good case of indigestion than anything else. Just as we have a dinner pat tern, we may have a standard pattern for breakfast which we may build upon and vary as much our dinners. You may find this one helpful. Fruit— Fresh or cooked dried fruit, baked apple, apple sauce, or fruit juices. Cereals—Emphasize the home cooked variety, not only as a fine source of energy, but for the sake of economy. Serve them four times a week, and the ready cooked cereals three times. Breads—Toasted whole wheat bread, heated rolls, or quick breads such as' bran, whole wheat, or plain muffins, or biscuits, may be served with jam, jelly, or marmalade, if desired. Bacon.—Sausage, codfish balls, eggs (if cost permits), fried mush, o. scvappel form a substantial main course. Coffee or tea for adults, milk or cocoa for children—but don’t use them to “wash down” the rest ol the meal. If you are tired of plain orange juice, you might try a mixture of pineapple juice and canned orange juice, which by the way, is rapidly gaining in popularity as it is inexpensive, easily pre pared, and good, as well as nu tritious. And of course canned tomato juice has become a real stand-by. Fresh oranges may be attrac tively served as ORANGE SLICES Pare oranges, removing all outer skin and inner white mem brane. Cut in thin even slices. Arrange on serving plates. Slices are easier to handle with *a fork if they are halved or quartered. If desired, sweeten each serving with 2 tablespoons honey or DICED ORANGES 1’are oranges as above. Cut in half-inch cubes, holding the fruit over a bowl so as to save the juice. Sweeten slightly and serve in small dessert dishes. Cereal variations may be easily worked out by keeping at least tour different kinds on the shelf. They are most satisfactorily cooked by following the direc tions on the box, as this gives the best proportions. A double boiler is a big help, as it not only prevents the cereal from sticking or scorching, but it is possible to cook it ahead of time, and by filling the lower pan with hot water and setting it on the fire when you put the coffee on, you will find it piping hot by the time the coffee is done. Further changes in a cooked cereal may be affected by adding one of the following a few minutes before removing it from the stove: 1 cup (1-2 package) dates, washed, stoned, and cut in pieces. 1-2 cup raisins, seeded or seed less. 3-4 cup whole or pressed figs, washed and cut in pieces. An excellent main dish can be | made out of your cereal course, also, and it offers a change from the sugar-and-cream treatment. Fine grained cereals such as corn meal, sweetmeats of the wheat, end others of which there are several forms, may be made up in advance so that only a few minutes are required to fry. SCRAPPLE 1 1-2 pounds fresh lean boil ing pork, cubed. 2 teaspoons salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1 1-2 quarts cold water. 1 1-3 cups fine grained cereal. Cover the pork with cold water. Add the salt and pepper. Boil for 1 1-2 hours, or until the meat cdn be broken apart eiasily with a fork. Add more water from time to time if necessary, so there will be at least 1 quart of liquid when the cereal is add ed. Remove the bones from the broth, and fin ly divide all of the meat, leaving the latter in the broth. Bring to a rolling boil, and slowly add the cereal. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens. Cover closely and re duce the flame. Cook, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Turn into a square mold. Chill, slice, and fry in a small amount of fat in a heavy frying pan. Serve hot, plain or with syrup. By measuring the dry ingredi ents the night lefore, measuring the milk and setting it in the icebox, and se ting the shorten ing OUT of the icebox so it will be easy to handle, it is not so much of a trick to vary the usual toast with PLAIN MUFFINS 2 cups sifted flour. 1-2 teaspoon salt. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar. 1 egg, slightly beaten. 1 cup milk. 3 to 4 tablespoons melted shor tening. Sift the dry ingredients'. Add the slightly beaten egg,‘milk, and melted shortening; stir quickly and lightly until mixed. DO NOT OVERMIX. Fill well greased muffin tins 2-3 full. Bake in a moderately hot oven (375 de grees F.) for 25 minutes. (The smaller the muffin tins, the high er the baking temperature, and the shorter the baking time be comes) Yield: 12 medium sized muffins. If desired, add 1-2 cup nut meats, 1-2 cup seedless rai sins, chopped dried apricots, or 1-4 cup finely diced fried bacon to the plain muffin batter. Left over muffins may be toasted.
