URGE WILSON FARMERS TO
RAISE COWS AND HOGS.

Mr.. B. T. Ferguson, farm demon
stration agent for Wilson county,
staged worthwhile meeting at the
farm of Mr.. L. P. Woodard this af-
ternoon with Mr.. A. G. Kinney and
Mr.. w. w. Shay of the department
of agriculture at Raleigh as speakers,
A number of farmers and their wives,
were in attendance.
Mr.. Kinney urged every family I'M
the county to have a COW. The plea
for the cow was brought home by
talk of Mr.. Kinney on the value Of
milk as food. Mr.. Kinney saidA
milk was the one perfect food ma
ture had furnished. 1t was healthful
and especially nourishtng, and yet
too many fail to provide this necess-
ary food for their table. Mr.. Kinney
says if he can get the householder to-
realize the Importance of milk as o
food he will be able to see every
householder in the country the own--
er of a COW.
Mr.. Shay spoke on the subject OF
hog, good and bad. Hogs as we'll as
cows should be raised in Wilson
county to greater extent. The farm
er should raise his own food, his.
milk and his meat. Therefore in ad-.
dition to the family cow there shoulGV
be the family porker. Mr.. Shay tolD
how to raise hogs to secure the best
results, going into the details Of thea
art Of swine breeding.

lars, and Collections Would
Fall Short Of That.
(By Max Abernethy).

Raleigh, April There will be no
special session of the General Assem-
bly, during the present calendar year,
in the opinion of Governor Cameron
Morrison, who is probably as we'll
qualified to speak on the subject
as any since his excellency and no
other would issue the call in the
event it was thought the legislators
ought to assemble before 1928.
Governor Morrison has made this
plain to newspaper men and has ask
ed that the reading portion of North
Carolina be disillusioned as to the
especial session talk" The suggestion
has not reached the governor from
any of his advisers in the council Of
State nor from the men upon whom
he depended at the regular session in
getting his program adopted. The
governor is anxious that the public
understand that special session, If
he should call it together, would be
powerless to do more than levy a
five cent advalorem tax since the con-
stitution limits the levy.
This five cents tax on property,
the governor points out, If levied
would not bring into the State treas
urer more than one million dollars
and at the present rate the county
boards are authorizing horizontal
reductions in land valuations the
total amount collected would fall far
short of that amount. Nor will a five
cents advalorem tax overturn the
money market within "a hours.
1t is the opinion of Governor Nor
rison that the five cents advalorem
tax is worth more to the State in

CAUGHT BIG FELLOWS
Bake and Wife Make Pill
grimage to Canadian Bor-
der After Big Fish.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Bake have
lust returned to their home on
Little Twin lake from the Can
adian border something over a
hundred miles north of Duluth,
where they spent several days IN
the wilds camping and fishing.
According to Mr.. Bake, they
discovered lakes filled with sal
mon trout that had practically
never had a hook cast on its wa
tiers. Fish were taken as high
as eight pounds, and it is said
that they were not the largest
ones hooked either. The reason
of these lakes being virgin, was
on account of their being off the
beaten trails of the sportsmen-
II was necessary for the Balkes
to walk through the wilds over
a faint trail in order to reach the
lakes.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. b.
spent several weeks in that sec
ton timber cruising. He and
wife expect to again make a trip
later in the month and further IN
vestigate fishing on other lakes
and streams after trout.

WHAT ABOUT THE FAIR
Villas County's Annual Show
ing of Stock and Products
Much Better This Year.

Even though the recent hot
wave did much material damage
to grains, grasses and fruits,
still Villas county WILDE able to
give a very creditible exhibition
of her resources when the annual
fair rolls around on September
18th and 18th at Eagle River.
As this is the fair for every
citizen in Villas county, the ques-
ton of not exhibiting should be
forgotten. But the concrete idea
that you must exhibit as a patri-
otic citizen must be foremost in
your mind, and every method
which can be employed should be
advanced for the success of the
two-day showing. Every effort
made in showing what Villas
county has, means that more val
ne placed upon your realty hold
ings, your stock and your gen
eral welfare.
The fair management are en-
deavoring to secure as one of the
attractions another airplane for
daily flights and exhibition
stunts. That is something that
certainly will give the visitor the
worth of the time and money
spent in the view of sightseeing
and recreation. Two bully good
ball games will be scheduled lat
er, and with the splendid team
Eagle River now owns, they both
will prove thrillers.
Make September 18th and 18th
big days for yourself, your fam
lily and the public at large. Villas
county might have the name
of being the smallest county in
the state, but it is the biggest
little thing when it comes to put
ting something good over you
ever saw.

AFTER THE GAME HOGS
Iron County Beginning to
Realize Importance of
Game Preservation New
Game Warden.

The following from last weeks
Hurley Miner shows that Iron
county realizes that in order to
preserve game it must clean up
the game hog. 1t says:
Iron county has been one of
the counties in the state where
the game laws have been flag
rantly violated during the past
few years, the latest instance of
game law violation being several
weeks ago when a party of Mon
treal residents went on a deer
hunting expedition to Island
Lake and as a result one of the
hunters ,Stanyley Karpinski, was
fatally shot by Knute Vik when
he was mistaken for a deer. Vik
has been bound over to circuit
court for trail on the charge of
manslaughter. Island lake has
been a popular rendezvous for
game hogs for a number of
years. For the past two years
members of the Iron County
Fish and Game Protective Asso-
citation have endeavored to have
the conservation commission
place a game warden in Iron
county and their efforts have
finally been realized. Last week
f. A. EmunsOn, secretary of the
local association, received notice
from the commission that Fred
Wilke, a warden who has been
located near Phillips, has been
transferred TO Iron county and
will work in this county perman-
emily hereafter. w. NJ. Kirk, an
Iron county resident, will help
him in the game warden work
as a special.-Hurley Miner.
