PRAISES FOR LAUREL PARK.

RendeTsonville is blessed with
Ea+ing as an asset one of the most
beautiful parks on the American con-
tinent and it furnishes delightful
play ground for all visitors to this
fine city. The fame of Laurel Park
is not confined to North Carolina and
tie South. 1t has reached the remote
bounds of this Union. 1t was for
tUnate for the city when the boundary,
which comprises the Laurel Park es-
tate, passed into the hands of the
present owner, Mr.. w. A. Smith, who
is an enterprising citizen in fact as
well as in name. The tract, with its
many acres of virgin forest and wood
Cd heights, crystal springs, beautiful
lakes, winding paths and pretty
drives, silvery streams, flowery dells,
glades and canals afford picture of
natural beauty which cannot be sur
passed. There is bathing, boating,
-4a.4.lg and other open air amuse-
| n ents, while the casino offers an op-
rortunity for indoor enjoyment in
many ways. This really wonderful
development, which already means SO
much for Hendersonville, is still in
its infancy, but rapid progress is be-
ing made in the building of roads, the
/ erection of homes and the extension
of electric car lines. Dotted here and
there are substantial summer resi-
dences builded by pleasure seekers
from Maine to Florida and from Vir,
GINA to Kansas. The heart of thi.
section of scenic beauty may be reach
ed in a few minutes ride from the cit!
over an electric railway which wa
built by Mr.. Smith exclusively TO
use in reaching the park and hun
dreds make the trip daily during tn
sumner months. The car line ex
tends along Fifth avenue west, whic'
is rapidly developing into the mos
beautiful and fashionable Residential
section of the city. Mr.. Smith is tn

SERIOUS ASPECTS OF DECREASE
In NUMBER OF SHEEP IN STATE

The last census shows that North
Carolina contains only 214,00O sheep
of all kinds and ages. This is slight
ly over 1000 sheep to each county in
the State. Since 1900 there has been
a decrease in the number of about 80
per cent, the total number in 1900 be-
ing S01, 900. At this rate of decrease
the number of the sheep produced will
eventually become almost inapprecia-
Bile. The large number of waste land
in North Carolina could be proitably
used in sheep production. A combi-
nation of the use of waste land with
supplemental feeds will not only re-
turn profit but add materially to the
fertility of the farm lands. Averaged
sized focks Of 80 to so head are re-
commended, larger fiocks not being as
profitable under general farm condi-
tions.
Mutton has never been popular in
America largely because of establish
ed customs and low price Of beef.
During recent years the advance in
the price of beef has given a stimulus
toward the consumption of more of
this product. There is no doubt but
what the use of more mutton would
have a favorable effect on the beef
and permit the use of more fresh meat
on the farm than is now ordinarily
consumed. 1t is not possible for the
farmer to slaughter beef whenever
beef is desired. Fresh meat can be
provided very conveniently, howeye.,
on farms where sheep are produced.
Mutton is an excellent food and is
very palatable when properly dressed
and cooked There is no reason why
more sheep should not be produced in
this state and thereby equalize the
the price of meat and stimulate the
Use of more fresh meat on the farm
which would be beneficial both from
the standpoint of economy and health.

HOW BANKER FIXES CREDIT.

A banker down in Missouri has hit
upon a novel way to find out whether
an. applicant for loans at his bapN
is liable or not. He steps to the tele-
phone and calls up the publisher of
the local paper. If the applicant is
a subscriber and his account is paid
up, he gets, the loan at reasonable
rate of interest, but if he is in arrears
the security must be gilt edge and a
few more per cent tackled onto the
note. If you are thinking of borrow
ing any money it would be wise to see
how you stand with the local editor
Westmoreland Signal.

In my opinion the verdict of the

mountains, an opportunity was given
me to put into practice certain ideas
| had acquired during Il somewhat eX-
tensive tour of the western irrigated
regions. AS day after day passed that
summer without even a cloud to dim
the scOrching rays of the sun, and |
saw my own truck garden as well as
the gardens of my neighbors turning
yellow and whitening in the heat,
determined to- work out n plan by
which | could irrigate the whole gar
den-a task that would have been i'm
possible of accomplishment with such
appliances as garden hose and force
pump.
The whole garden had a slight slope
to the west, and very slight ridge
crossing the middle of the tract gave
slight slopes north and south. At the
east side of the tract, just where this
little ridge ended, a depression was
made about two feet deep and six feet
in diameter Being on unused ground.
between the garden and field. the
bottom of the basin was practically
on level with the bottoms of the
rows in the garden. An opening in
the side OF the basin allowed water to
flow into main ditch that ran down
along the top Of the ridge referred to,
and laterals running from this ridge.
with other smaller bitches branching
off from the laterals, carried the water
to every part of the garden.
When the basin and the bitches were
ready-and their construction did not
necessitate injuring the garden stuff
in the least-a 300 foot length of hose
| ending at the basin, was coupled to
the pump of the windmill by means
OF a reducing coupler Fortunately
during the entire dry spell there was
hardly a day when there was not
plenty of wind to keep the motor
whirling merrily, and the water soon
filled the basin. When the gate was
opened the water ran down the main
ditch, was admitted to the laterals,
and twenty-four hours OF almost
steady pumping sufficed to irrigate the
entire garden. Repeated twice week
during the dry weather the irrigation
worked wonders with the garden, and
while none of my neighbors realized
enough from their truck gardens to
pay for labor. fertilizer and seed. no.
I body ever saw n finer or more pro-
ductive garden than mine.
