STANDARD OIL CO. PUTTING
IN STORAGE TANKS IN BOONE

The Standard Oil Co. that has been
operating a barrel station in Boone
for some time, decided that this ter
ritery was entitled to a better SER
vice, so they had two narrow guage
tank cars constructed for the E. T.
and w. N. C. Railroad and a fore
man with bunch Of men is busily
engaged in putting in real sta
ton here this week on lot purchas-
ed from Mr.. W. L. Bryan. The two
large tanks have arrived and are be-
ing put in place. The railroad has
been extended to their property, a
storage room for the heavy oils, and
an sengine house are in the course
of construction. The foreman hopes
to have the tanks filled and every
thing working nicely between now
and Christmas.

GOVERNMENT POWDER
FOR WATAUGA STUMPS

The following letter has recently
been sent out to local farmers by the
county agent.
We were not able to get our pic
ric acid last year for the purpose
of blowing stumps but the Govern
ment is now offering to distribute
upon the same basis, another explo-
sive which they claim is far super
ior to picric acid. This material is
called Sodatol. Sodatol is put up in
sticks similar to dynamite, is explod-
ed. by the regular no. 6 dynamite
cap, does not freeze in cold weather
does not stain the hands, 3or cause
head ache, and has stronger explo-
sive power than dynamite.
This material viii cest Sssiuered
probably about 10c per pound It is
delivered in SO pound boxes with
about 60 sticks to the box.
The above facts are given out by
Government agents and l have talked
to few men who have used this ma
sterial and they state that these facts
are true. If you expect to use any
explosive. and will take advantage
of this offer it will save you about
sixty cents on the dollar. I hope that
everyone who needs an explosive will
let me know at onee, so that we can
get this order off Immediately 1t
will be necessary for you to inclose
check with the order as the charges
will have to be paid in advance. Make
your check $500 per box Of SO lbs
and if that is more than it costs the
remainder will be returned to you
If for any reason the order is not
made, the check will not be cashed
but will be returned just as you sent
it.
Yours truly,
JOHN B. STEELE

A GREAT PEOPLE

In a free republic a great govern
ment is the product of a great peo-
pie. They will look. to themselves
rather than government for success.
The destiny, the greatness, Of Amer
lea lies around the hearthstone. Ii
thrift and industry are taught there,
and the example Of self sacrifice oft
appears, if honor abides there, and
high ideals, if there the building OF
fortune is subordinate to the build
ing Of character, America will vlive
in security, rejoicing in an abundant
prosperity and good government at
home, and in peace, confidence ano
respect abroad. If these virtues be
absent there is no power that car
supply these blessings. Look wei
then to the hearthstone, therein all
hope for America lies. Calvin Cool

Western North Carolina will get
four fish hatcheries instead of three
as at first planned. The additional
hatchery was agreed upon by the
fisheries board in session at More

Two of these hatcheries will be
located in Northwestern North Car
olina for the propagation of noun
tain trout. One of them will be built
near Roaring Gap in Allegheny coun
ty and the other will be located three
miles from Boone in Watauga coun-
ty.
Citizens of Watauga offered splen-
did inducements for the building of
a hatchery in this section and so did
residents of Allegheny for the con-
struction Of hatchery near Roaring
Gap.
The other two hatcheries will be
located in Haywood and Mcdowell

WHAT WATAUGA IS DOING
UNDER co. FARM AGENT
"Ashe County Citizen in the Ashe
Recorder.

hecOfQer.
want to tell the farmers of Ashe
county what our neighbor Watauga
county is doing in the way of farm
ing under the care of county agent.
Watauga is raising from three to four
hundred bushels of fine irish potatoes
to the acre and getting an average
of $1.57 per bushel for them deliv-
cred at Boone.
One Watauga county man told me
that he grew 404 bushels of pota-
toes on one acre. By his not belong
ing to the potato association under
the management of the County Farm
Agent, he lost about $3.50 in the
price received for those 404 bushels
of potatoes besides the haul bill which
amounted to about $3.50. This makes
a total loss of $500 for the man.
The potato crop is not the only
crop that brings money to the far
mcrs of Watauga. The farmers near
~ ali SIOW 1IOHl OliS LdlI W CWO
acres of cabbage. These farmers who
belong to the farm association rec
Give better prices for their cabbage
delivered in Boone thanthos haul
ing them all the way to Lenoir,
hickory, Morganton and Charlotte.
Ashe county can do just as well
with her potato and cabbage crop
as Watauga if they are properly ma
naged. One acre of ground will grow
10000 pounds of cabbage while on
the other hand one acre of ground
will grow $50 bushels of potatoes.
10000 pounds of cabbage at $3.50
per hundred will bring 100000 per
acre to the farmer and $50 bushels
of potatoes at $1.50 per bushel will
bring him $525.00 per acre. By the
use of little energy and the gui-
dance of farm agent, the farmers
of Ashe county could look after their
other crops and in addition to these
grow at least two acres of cabbage
which would bring in $500 and two
acres of potatoes which would bring
$1O5O.O0.
Watauga is doing this very thing
and there are only two causes to
which this advancement can be con-
tributed One is the progressive spir-
it existing among the farmers, the
business man, and the officials of the
county, and the other is the guild
ance and. aid of the County Farm
Agent.
Watauga county's agent has not
onlv been a help to the potato grow
er and cabbage grower but he has
been a help to the farmers in the cul-
tivation and disposal of all their crop
and in the disposal of their produce.
He is the farmers pilot in Watauga
County.
I Watauga has prospered under the
county farm agent. She has solved
the problem Of raising money for
the farmers to pay their taxes. She
has increased their yield per acre
of her crops.
Just so can Ashe county prosper
lust so can the Ashe county farmers
have the money crops to assist then
with their tax burden, just SO car
her Weld Der acre be increased ano
the spirit of prosperity more widel!
spread if she will only employ the
proper county farm agent to lead
guide and direct her noble farmers
