FARMERS. ATTENTION!
Now Methods,
Convincing evidence of the superi
ority of the new methods of farming
over the old methods. Is Mrongly set
forth In the results obtained by tteonte
B Arthur. Asheville, N t'.. It F. I'.,
during the season of 1931. It nlso
convinces even the casual observer
that modern firming In the moun
tains of Western Carolina may he
made as profitable as on the rolling
plains of the West. Mr. Arthur cul
tivated 29 acres of land In one body
and harvested 2410 bushels es corn
therefrom. To the observant farmer,
the methods pursued will possess edu
cational value
On April 26th, ISIS, he plowed under
a heavy Crimson clover sod, which was
thoroughly rolled and disced Imme
diately after plowing: then applied 1,-
600 jiound* of ground limestone rock
and harrowed in. Miles' single ear
corn was planted May Cth, Immediate
ly after the land had been harrowed.
The sol) Is of black loam about three
feet deep, with a pipe clay and yellow
subsoil. Following Is s report of ths
cost of making the crop, rating lea mis
at $3.00 per day: Flowing S6B 00.. roll
ing and discing $34 00. lime and labor
applying $94 00. harrowing and rolling
$30.00, seed and planting sl4 00. cultl
vatin" four times with a 2-horse cul
tivator $48.00. cultivating one time
with a 1-horse cultivator $12.00, hoe
ing $20.00. total $310.00
At time of harvesting, corn was
worth SI.OO per bushel, so that the 29
acres produced $2,410.00, with ar. aver
age gross Income of $83.14 per acre
Deducting the cost, the average riel in
come for the 29 acres Is $72.41 per
acre, which all will agree Is quite
profitable farming. During the lust
cultivation the land was sown with
Crimson clover, and on January Ist.
1914. there was a heavy growth of

In 1802 and started out against the
Federal forces then operating In Ken

In that state In which the Confadar

Morgan's command consisted of

He had to rely upon the tertiary pass

There were dully skirmishes, but gen

Their movements were necessarily

This Mystery Explain.
How did Morgan make his get
away? How did Strelght maks ills?
How did Harry K. Thaw make his?
There Is more or less mystery con
nected with the two former, especial
ly with Morgan s escape
It Is a strange coincidence that he
and his hostage should have escaped
about the same time and In precisely
the same way. l-ooks as If the es
cape of one would have had the effect
of redoubling the vigilance oT the au
thorities on the other side.
Tunnel escapes are very rare. It
Is a great deal easier and a simpler
way Just to walk out through the
front door. If you can arrange It with
the right man. This obviates the
trouble oT disposing with the dirt that
the tunnel method accumulates and
lessens the danger of being shot by
the guards.
Recent Investigations at th# Colum
bus penitentiary have failed to reveal
the satisfactory evidence of a tunnel
o fa sufficient length and of an outlet,
to admit of the escape of <a prisoner.
It Is one of the many mysteries In
connection with such affairs, that
perhaps never will be revealed.

—Matthew 7:7,
A rather unusual incident occurred
in the office of the Dicks House a few
afternoons ago. The proprietor and
six or seven hoarders were Indulging
In a discussion of the Bible, the sub
ject being Sampson, told of in the
Book of Judges, Bth verse, chapter 14
—“And after a time he returned to
take her, and he turned aside to see
the carcass of the lion; and, behold
there was a swarm of bees and honey
in the earrass of the lion.”
To cite the verse one of the board
ers reached for a Bible lying on a near

at random at the exact page and
verse, his finger resting on the para
graph desired to be read. He had not
even known what book of the Bible
