REPORT OF
COUNTY Agent


'the Agents Meeting in Raleigh
where he got all the information he
lcould.
SO charmed was he THAI he felt
that he had reached the best place
on earth, nor has this lessened as
days have rolled by-it has onlv
enlarged.
On the 18th, the said Brammer
had notices printed about soy beans
legumes in general, pleading more
and better live stock. Every one
was sought out and told about
prices until 674 1-2 bushels of SOW
beans were ordered.
These rich hills told me at once
that it is sinful to let them wash
away by careless farming. This
and my duty to generations unborn
has caused me to 60 from one end
OF this county to the other talking
grasses and then live stock.
The Superior Court began Feb
ruary II, and there | met fully
1000 people interested in the good
OF the county. Should | live long
| will never forget the night and
day conference with you, dear
farmers of Jackson and, Also some
of Haywood.
In March the County Agent went
over Barkers Creek, Qualla, Cul-
lowhee and Hamburg townships
trying his best to get parents and
children interested in farm life,
where he who was pleading for
Girls and Boys Agricultural Clubs
had gotten the most out of life.
March Is found the County
Agent trying to land two fine Ken
lucky jacks in this county. Ie
went again over the places named
above. He finally sold one to Mr..
Bob Howell and Co. and another to
Mr.. Will Lewis. No greater Jacks
are in any county.
The County Agent got So tons of
Acid Phosphate at S2423. This
Fall two car loads came in and
those handling it came down below
the price charged at first. There
fore all get this for 1920 and 1925
per bag.
Grass seed have been gotten from
the best seed houses so that much
has been saved along this line.
Wheat was ordered by the farm
ers from Lexington until 100 bu.
were ordered by them.
The County Agent is telling the
people to quit sowing wheat in
corn land for it Injuries the corn or
is sowed too late. Because of the
efforts. Jackson has become the
greatest soy bean county in West
ern N. C.
Through the organizations at
Qualla, Webster. Tuckasiegee and
Johns Creek the County Agent
helped to organize and finance four
of the biggest Township fairs in the
State. Miss Feimster, who was at
16 of the Community and Dis
trict fairs Of the State, says these
were far better.
Green's Creek and Wolf Creek
say they are going to have a part
in this great Fair movement. |
understand that Sylvia is going to
have a great County Fair next year
"a Fair as clean as those just men-
toned. I am for this. But it must
be clean for the youths 1t must
be Agricultural, Educational, and
Social and Moral. Then | am for
it and will work for it.
Eleven Agricultural Classes are
being taught by me. The course is
seed corn, legumes and feeds and
feeding The 400 students have
chance to get a diploma on this
course. This together with the
spirit of the great organizations over
the county have made this coun-
ty where any progressive move
ment can start. In Qualla, the
Phone line has started.

COW ATE POISON WEED
And Milk Is Believed To Have
Caused Death of Ohio Woman

Wooster, O., Nov. 18-Dr. Geo. w.
Essick, of Congress, believes that a
poisonous weed that grows in swamp
land in certain sections near West Sa-
lem, northwestern Wayne county, o.,
caused the death today of Mrs. Sarah
Haverstock, 55 years old, and the Sc
rious illness of five other persons. All
were affected as the result of having
eaten poison, physicians say. The
weed in question was found in pas
ture where cow belonging to Mrs.
Havcrstock had been grazing. All of
the victims are butter made from milk
from this COW.
DR.. Crum, of Lodi, has sent sam
pie of the butter to the Stae Chemist,
Columbus, for analyzation in the la
boratories of the State Board of
Health. Mrs. Haverstock died after an
illness of two days. Friday night two
other persons became ill, and Sunday
four persons were seriously ill in
West Salem, al suffering from the
malady that caused the death Of Mrs.
Haverstock.

it had become practically an i'm
possibility to issue more than
four pages to an edition, unless
preparation was made the day be-
fore. Because of this, much good
news matter has often had to be
left out, and much advertising,
which is the lifc-blood of a news
paper, had to be omitted. With
the new Duplex running smooth

forth in either four, six or eight
pages, as the demands of the

THREE PERFORMANCES

Galvani, the hypnotist, concluded
his three days exhibition at the opera
house Monday night, and as usual
played to a big audience. He goes
from here to the Capital Theatre at
Frankfort. His work in Richmond
was undoubtedly pleasing to all.
Many went to see him as skeptics
but there were mighty few left af-
ter he had shown so conclusively
what he can do with his unusual
powers. He is man of very pleas
ing personality. He does not en-
deavor to make to make a mystery
of what he does, but is plain and out
spoken in regard to his powers and
ne does not try to "put ever" any
thing on his audiences or his sub
jects either. His show is something
out of the ordinary and everybody
seemed to enjoy it.

After many weary months OF
waiting, the Daily Register is
now being printed upon its new
Duplex web projecting press.
The first issue Of the paper on the
new press was printed Monday
in record time, and with
very few stops to make slight
adjustments. This was due to
the skill Of Mr.. Paul Drake, ex-
pert ercctor of the Duplex Print
ing Press Company, OF Battle
Creek, Michigan, who has been
here for the past week, installing
the big machine in the Daily
Registers new home on Second
street.
The above is a picture of the
new press. Very few cities the
size of Richmond anywhere have
