AS Mr.. Wyckoff observed, the west

ling the postage on all western let

Exposition, san Francisco, 1915"
The date of the military ball to
be given at the armory by Company

GRASS.

That was an important story in
yesterdays Gazette-News which
told of the benefection of
Charles Shope, who caused some
five tons Of hay to grow where no
grass to speak of grew before Mr..
Shope took the land in hand. For
seven years careful methods of
soil conservation were applied to O.
piece of land that had become i'm
povished. Subsoiled, lined, green
manured. this little patch OF land is;
now capable of yielding a gross rev.
enue Of about $3.50 per acre per
year.
1t is magnificent yield of hay,
a triumph of intelligent agriculture,
An achievement like this should be
published far and near, and the re-
suit and the method become the.
common knowledge of all farmers
Because farmers everywhere are,
working on and toward the theory
that such results will follow intel
ligent study of their problems and
the application of certain funda-
mental methods. These little dem
onstration lots scattered through
out Buncombe county and the 9th
er counties are making for prosper
lty faster than any amount OF legis--
lation by congress, with all its bill
lions of expenditure, can do. This
work is serving to dam up the flow
of money for farm crops that has
been draining this section through
decade 10 decade. Western North
Carolina, it is a common saying
ought never to buy a bale of hay
produced elsewhere, because, prac--
tically every bit of our arabic land
is naturally grass land and the
climate is nowhere more favorable
and it is only a question of time
when the importation of nay will be
stopped.
, When the Gazette-News was de

2 month after month to the demon
StratiOn work, an Ashevilie gentle
man used to say that we ought to

Policeman Stone Resigns.

Change is the order of the day. One
man does a thing, another follows
suit. One man suicides, another does
the same. One man resigns, so does
another. Often it follows in cir
Gle, occasionally it becomes epidemic.
The resignation of Deputy Sheriff
Thos. A. Berley was followed by the
resignation of Policeman H. o. Stone.
Mr.. Stone resigned to accept the po-
sition of sub-carrier at the postof1ce
and to have more time to devote to
selling the Harley-Davidson motorcy-
Gle. He and Rural Carrier T. E. Wick
er know how to sell the Harley-David-
sons and he has also had some ex-
perience in handling the mails, con-
sequently it is not altogether new to
him and will come easy.
Like Mr.. Berley in his position Po-
1iceman Stone was making a reputa-
tion and it goes without saying that
he will be alright where. he is.

ness at her home in the Trinity sec

the Rev. o. A. Jeffcoat. The pail
bearers were her grandsons as fol-
lows: Hugh, Marvin and Roy Long

Throughout her life Mrs Longshore
held the reputation Of being we'll be-
loved not only by her very large num-
Der of relatives and family connec-
tions, but by the community generally,
and by all, who knew her and they
were many. No one had more sincere
friends, and the secret of it is "she
was a sweet old lady," as some one
remarked in. speaking of her death.
She carried the sweetness of her
youth to the years of her old age and
held the hearts of her friends.
Besides her husband, she is surviv-
ed by the following sons and daugh-
ters: M. J. Longshore, Of No. 7 town.

grandchildren and about eight great
grandchildren.
The husband who has lost good
wife and the children who have lost
a devoted mother in the one who has
gone to her great reward after having
successfully reared large family of
children have the sympathy of all in
their bereavement. But she has only
gone on to take up life with her chill
