Civitan Club to Back
Kraft Cheese Plant

The Boone Civitan Club at its
weekly meeting last Thursday voted
to cooperate in observance of
national Fire Prevention Week, Oc-
tober 7-13, inclusive. 1t is expected
that one of the local insurance agen-
cies will arrange some kind of pro-
gram that will tend to reduce fire
hazards in the town and county. In
this correction it was also proposed
that competent man be engaged to
inspect flues, heating plants and
stove pipes before the winter sea-
son begins. Some definite action
will be taken at the luncheon this
week.
J. Frank Moore, of the commit
tee appointed to investigate the
establishment of a Kraft Cheese
plant in the county, reported that
nothing definite could be done now,
as the Kraft people would not
consider the establishment of such a
plant until next year. However, Mr..
Moore was assured that the COM
pdHy WOulu lOOk WITH ldVOr uPOIl
the proposition in the spring, pro-
vided a sufficient amount Of milk
can be secured. 1t was proposed
that meeting of representative
farmers be held in the near future
at which time a speaker would be
present to explain the idea in de-
tail. 1t was pointed out that the
very fact that the jefferson plant is
paying 20 to 25 cents a gallon for
milk should be sufficient reason to
interest the farmers in providing the
milk.
Civitan James P. Burke of Vale
Crucis, who is soon to leave for his
new field in Hendersonville, make a
short farewell talk, in which he
expressed regret in dissolving his
relationship with the club, which he
said, had been very pleasant as
well as helpful.
At the close of the meeting col
lection was taken up for the Flori-
da hurricane sufferers, and S17.55
was contributed.

PROPHET
SURE SMITH WILL WIN

John j. Rascob can, go back to
his job with Genral Motors. The
Maine election didn't mean a thing.
As for Herbert Hoover, he might
as well be angling for another min
ing engineers job, for Prophet jim
McNulty has spoken.
Out in Minneapolis the word of
Prophet Jim is taken as gospel by
all those who have watched him
predict. From his home address at
General Delivery" Minneapolis,
he sent out word in 1924 that Cool
idge would win by more than 800
electoral votes; that Davis would
limp in poor second; and Bob
La Toilette would wind up a "worse
third, the blow that killed father
with only Wisconsin"
This year Prophet Jim has de-
camped from the Republican scene.
81 predict" he says, .'that AL Smith
and Robinson will sweep the country
in landslide with the greatest vic
tory in history. The morning after
election Hoover and the Republican
party will almost be paralyzed to
think how they did it. But it will
be no surprise to me-"
Prophet Jim purports to be on
the most intimate terms with the
future. He says he is the best seer
in the world.
But even if Smith is to be elected
Volsteadism is to remain in force
for a long time yet. Prophet Jim
predicts that. too.

FIELD SELECTED SEED
INCREASES CORN YIELD

Go through the corn field before
gathering, with bag strapped over
the shoulder, and secure seed ears
from the proper type of stalks grow
irg under average conditions and
thus spend a highly profitable day.
This is the formula for better
corn yields advocated by c. R.
Hudson of the farm demonstration
department at State College. The
seed corn, according to Mr.. Hudson,
should be secured from stalks that
are strong and stocky and have
stood up under the storm conditions
of the summer. Two-eared stalks
give larger yields. The ears should
be Of medium height from the
ground and the stalk should have no
advantage over the other stalks as
to space on the row or fertilizer.
Other good qualities in the seed
stalk are that the ears droop over
to prevent entrance of rain into the
husk, the shuck should cover the tip
of the ear to keep out insects and
the ear should be large and short
rather than long and slender.
Once the corn has been selected
the ears should be hung in a dry
place or spread on dry floor to
permit evaporation of moisture
Never store them in bags, boxes ol
barns until thoroughly dry. 1t is 8
good practice to make a germina
ton test sometime in the winter
! and use only those ears with high
termination power.
