AT FARMING GEORGE HART
HAS MADE GREAT SUCCESS
In Seven Years Has Increased Yield
ot Old, Broken Down Place Sew
eral Hundred Per Cent.
VALUES PLACE NOW AT Sts,6OO

Mr.. George l.. Hart, young Monroe
cotton buyer. by increasing the yield
several hundred fold of an old, run
down farm in the Corinth commun-
ity. has forever nailed the old story,
farming doesn't pay And today,
through his demonstrated ability, he
can lay claim TO being one of the best
farmers in the county, although he
was born and reared in Monroe.
II was some time during the year
1915 that he bought the old Harris
place, considered then about the poor
est land in that section For over
hundred years it had been settled
and most of that time it had been
subjected to the soil exhausting one
crop system, and when he took
charge of II he found nothing much
but a mass of gullies. The creeks
and branches had been permitted to-
grow up. There were patches here
and there. which the tenants had al
lowed to lay out" that were grown
up in persimmons and weeds The
buildings had gone to decay, and so
poor was the land that II would not
hardly sprout grass. Even with the
most intense cultivation. il Welded
but about five hundred pounds of
seed cotton to the acre, and the pre-.
yious owner had rented the entire
place OF one hundred and sixty-eight
acres for fifteen hundred pounds OF
lint cotton.
To-day. after seven years of steady
-. ,tfn haa hAnt haslf
into one of the best in the county.
The land easily yields a bale of cot
ton TO the acre without heavy fertil-
izltion; the place has been beautiful
~ terraced: il has one of the best.
if not the best pastures in the COM
munity; the dwelling houses have
been remodled and painted and there
are several good barns II cost Mr..
Hsrt $4,000 Today he would not
sell it for less than SlS,600. Mr.. A.
\. Secrest, chairman of the county
board of commissioners. offered him
SIS an acre for the farm last fall,
acknowledging at the same time that
il vas worth much more.
The timber on the place almost re-
turned Mr.. Hart the entire purchase
price. He cut over a half-million feet
of lumber, which he sold for some
thing like $4,000 net. Besides this
he secured enough lumber to remodel
his dwelling houses and barns, so II
can be safely stated. taking this into
consideration. that the timber
brought him $4,000, the purchase
price of the farm.
This remarkable feat. an inspira-
tion to every young farmer. was ae-
complished largely through Mr.
Hart's personal efforts. The first few
years he lived on the farm. working
ten to sixteen hours a day. He con-
suited agricultural experts. he talk
ed with practical farmers. end the ef-
forts OF this inexperienced young
farmer began to bear fruit.

During the seven years the farm.
with the exception of few years, has
returned its owner good profit, not
considering the ENHANCEMENT of the
value. but the biggest profit TO Mr..
Hart is the JOY he derives from the
possession of a fine farm. the high
fertility of which was developed by
his own labors. AS the cartoonist

Little William Yonce Cele'
brates Sixth Birthday.

Little William Yonce entertained
about fifty of his little friends charm
ingly on Monday afternoon, the af-
fair being a celebration of the little
hosts sixth birthday.
The pretty Yonce home in Bun
combe with its velvety green lawn
was ideal for entertaining the happy
children. A regular program was ar
ranged for their entertainment. A
peanut race resulted in little Martha
Stewart winning an instructive Ami
NAL Book. In a peanut hunt Marga-
ret Mooney won a very attractive
Drawing Book. In the ball contest,
Helen Dunovant was victorious, win
ming a novel horn.
On one end of the wide veranda
was a fish-pond where each tot caught
a cunning souvenir, whistles, ducks,
and other priced toys.
As the shadows commenced to
|lengthen, the happy children were in
yited into the dining room where a
lovely scene awaited their gaze. Four
pink streamers were caught from the
chandelier to the table, which was
centered with a lovely arrangement
of pink crepe myrtle blossoms. Com
ports of pink minis were reflected in
the polished table. A sweet course
was served, concluding the elaborate
affair. Toy balloons were given each
child as a parting souvenir.
The youthful host was showered
with gifts from the little guests he
entertained so charmingly,

Delightful Swimming Party.

Mrs. Allen T. Samuel entertained

ed very pleasantly in boating, swim
ming, diving and engaging in delight
full social conversation on the banks
of the pond. Although the water was
somewhat chilled, yet everybody who
took a plunge seemed to enjoy it to
the fullest extent. The climax of the
occasion was reached when all were
invited to partake of a bountiful pic
mic dinner after they had grown
weary of swimming and had again
planted their feet on terra hrma. The
swimming party at Smiths pond will
be a source of pleasant memories to
all who were honored with invita-
