Fine Virginia Sheep
Brought Into County

Mr.. Charles Tester of the Laurel
Greek section of the county, arrived
in town Monday night from Chill
howie, Va, en- route to his home
with a fine bunch of thoroughbred
Hampshire rams and ewes, which he
is distributing among the farmers of
the county without profit, merely
charging the farmers the purchase
price of the sheep, plus actual trans
portation costs.
Sometime ago Mr.. Tester went to
southwest Virginia to buy a few
blooded sheep for his flock, and To-
eating a fine bunch of thoroughbreds,
he decided to allow his fellow farm
ers to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity. Accordingly, he solicited
orders and delivered the fine Hamp-
shires this week. Mr.. Tester has
done his part toward purifying the
flocks of the county in an admir-
able manner.

TALKING PICT1.,.ES.
ATLOCAL THFfTRE.
Pastime Teatre Installs New Mechan-
ical Equipment Throughout, In
cluding Vitaphone; First Talkie
Will Be Exhibited Next Week

There were no shows at the Pas
time Theatre during a part of last
week, the management having been
busily engaged in installing the lat
est and most modern projecting
equipment to be had, including the
Vitaphone, and Messrs. Handy and
Winkler announce Boone's first all
talking picture for next week, when
Warner Brothers will present Al
Jolson, the incompatible, in "The
Singing Fool"
For long time the local theatre
has contemplated equipping for the
"talkies" and now that the ma
chine is in place the management is
not yet satisfied, and accordingly
are replacing both projecting ma
chimes with new ones of the latest
type, and promise the theatre-goers
of this section as good pictures as
can be had. A machine has been in
stalled for the purpose OF transform
ing the current from alternating to
direct, which eliminates the click
er" heretofore experienced, and
theatres in the largest cities will be
unable to screen a more perfect pic
ture than will be enjoyed in Boone.
In bringing the Vitaphone to this
city, the Pastime Theatre has rem
dered an unusual service to the
show-goers of this section, in view
of the fact that the talkies are as
yet generally confined to towns much
larger than Boone. The reporter was
privileged to see and hear the first
reel run when the machine was tried
out, and the picture was as good and
the sound as perfect and well-syn-
chronized as in the shows attended
in the large cities.
The opening picture is perhaps the
most popular release of Warner
Brothers and has met with wide
spread approval. A three day run
has been arranged for next week,
starting Thursday.

BIGGER POTATO
CROP IS ASKED
Washington Interstate Committe
Urges North Carolina to Increase
Yield 1000 Carloads for Next
Year; Market Outlook Good

Washington, Sept. 22-Basing its
recommendation upon probable
market conditions of the next year,
the interstate early potato commit
tee in statement urges growers in
five Atlantic seaboard states to in
crease their potato acreage so as to
produce crop about 1000 cars
greater than that of this season.
This increase would make the to-
tai crop from this region total about
$4,000 cars The committee, COM
posed of extension and marketing of
ticials of the various states and the
department of agriculture, recon-
mend that Florida growers increase
their acreage to a total of $4,000
acres in order to produce 5000 cars
of potatoes as compared with 5000
cars this year.
The recommended increase for
South Carolina was from $4,000
acres this year to $4,000 so the
state will have about 1000 cars for
shipment
North Carolina growers were
urged to increase from 10000 acres
this year to $4,000 next year in or
der to ship between $500 and 1000
cars
Growers of the Norfolk area were
advised to plant 10000 acres as COM
pared to 10000 this year in order to
produce about 5000 cars. Decrease
in acreage was recommended for the
eastern shore of Virginia from the
$1,000 acres this year to $4,000
acres, so as to produce about Is, 400
cars. Maryland growers were urged
to hold their acreage at $4,000 to
produce from 5000 to $500 cars.
In advising the decrease in Vir-
ginia acreage, the committee pre-
dicted thsi territory will meet with
greater competition next season
from New Jersey, Long Island and
the Mississippi valley, where low
yields were recorded this year be-
cause of prolonged drought.
The committee estimated tn e
carry-over of old potatoes would be
between 75,0OO,OOO and 8O,OO0,OOO
bushels on January /. ~
