calls for him last week but would not
take him away from Henderson eoun :
ty for the reason that he was ac-
quainted with conditions here and
therefore would be worth more to
the county than any man who could
be secured. Various expressions in
regard to this work were made at the
corn show on Friday.
Mr.. Millsaps said that Mr.. Perkins
was anxious to return to his farm
where he could make more money,
hut that it was necessary for him to
remain in Henderson county and i'm
.Irove its agricultural methods.
City Endorses Work.
The Greater Hendersonville club,
which is composed of the most repre-
sentative citizens of Hendersonville,
endorsed the demonstration work
Friday night and appointed COM
mittee to arouse the farmers over tna
Importance of attending the meeting
of the commissioners and urge upon
them the necessity for keeping up this
work.
Farmers Should Act.
There are a good many farmers in
the county who are anxious to have
the work continued and while others
favor it they are not exerting them
selves in this direction, therefore they
are urged to get busy and attend the
meeting and persuade their neighbors
to attend If they find that they can't
attend it has been thought well for
them to address a card or letter to
one or more of he commissioners, re-
questing that they fayorably consider
the matter.
Unless the farmers make them
selves active in this matter it is high
ly probable that the demonstration
work will be discontinued.

FARMERS ARE URGED TO APPEAR
BEFORE COMMISSIONERS JAN. !.
II Sufficient Number of Farmers Re-
quest it, the Demonstration Work
Will be Continued.

The farmers of Henderson county
will appear before the board of county
commissioners at the regular monthly
meeting on the first Monday in jana
ary and endeavor to persuade this body
to reconsiderd it's action in withdraw
ing support at it's last meeting from
the farm demonstration work.
Mr.. Station FaFOFs Tt.
Commissioner John T. Station in
forms the Democrat that the board
will be open for a hearing. Commis-
sioner- Station also informs the Den'-
ocrat that he personally favors the
farm demonstration work, is in hearty
sympathy with it and is willing to
make a contribution to the work If
necessary to have it continued. Com
missioner Station states that the com
nlissioners want to hear from more of
the farmers on the subject. Although
the farmers union voted unanimously
for the continuance of the work and
contributed $125 in support of it.,
Commissioner Station says that the
board would feel better about sup
porting the work if the farmers would
appear in body and express them
selves to this effect.

technical and special one, it was
thought advisable il possible, to enlist
the services of DR.. w. S. Rankin, see
retary of the North Carolina Board of
Health, to aid us in this matter It is
now say that definite ARRANGEMENTS
nave been made with DR.. Rankin,
whereby he is to be in HendersonviIle
on January 1, 1915. He comes here
specifically without cost, to aid the
people of Henderson county in q sins
cere effort to bring about more health
ful conditions within our midst This
sort of work, indeed, is exactly the
kind that this great. state health orr
ganizer is constantly doing for the
people Of North Carolina. Dr. Rankin
as health officer, stands pre-emin@
emily one of the foremost men in dis
ease prevention, not only in the South.
but in the United States.
There will be on New Years night =
mass meeting of the people of Hender-
son county at the court house. 1t l.
earnestly hoped that there will be d
packed house, composed of not only
the people of the town, but likewise
large number of those from the couu-
try; because, indeed, the country peo-
pie are just as much in need of mod
ern disease prevention, as are those
who live in towns and cities. DR..
Rankin is man of great force and
enthusiasm in his special work, and
he comes here to give us a speech on
these vital matters.
"0n the afternoon of that day, jan
uary 1st, at 1870, clock there will be
"a combined meeting of the Board Of
county commissioners the city coun-
Gil, and the board of heath, when DR..
Rankin will be present, and at which
time he will assist In every way the
proper organization of this most Inn
rortant campaign for better health.
Let us hope that there will be q
very large attendance at the mass
meeting on the night of January 1st to.
show the very great interest which It
is believed the people of our commun-
ity really feel in this movement"

BRAN FROM ARGENTINA
TO BE ALLOWED ENTRY
Thought by Officials 1t Will Aid in
Reducing Price of
Stock Feed.

Owing to an arrangement that has
been entered into between the Depart
ment of Agriculture. the State Depart
ment and the Argentine government bran
is to be allowed entry into this eountry
from Argentina. 1t is believed this will
tend to steady stock feed prices. which
nave been causing cattle growers and
dairymeu much uncasiness
The price of stock feed, especially
bran. which is considered an exception
all! fine dairy feed, has been advancing
rapidly of late. An immense amount of
bran is available in the Argentine Re
past has been bigger than that of the
United States Heretofore the entry OF
this bran here has been prohibited owrg &
to the existence of foot and mouth dis
ease among the Argentine cattle. Steri-
liZing the bran was too expensive for the
small margin of profit that attended its
export. but it was found that the system
of heating through which the grain was
put in being manufactured into -four
effectually sterliZed it 50 there was no
danger of the products carrying infec-
ton.
Now arrangements have been mad.
through the State Department Whereby
bran that is accompanied by a certificate
as to its origin from the American con-
sui general at Buenos Aires. can be adj
mitted to this country. A big trade in
the imported bran is now developing.
and the officials of the Department of
Agriculture say this is likely to increa Sc
largely. while the mere fact that there is
another big source of supply to draw on
will have a steadying effect on the
American market
