GROWING CABBAGE
FOR MAKING kRAUT
Plant Here Being Enlarged to Take
Care of 1000 Tons of Cabbage
This Year; Means $4,000 to
Farmers of County
BY F. H. JETER

The kraut factory at Boone in
Watauga county, is being renovated
and enlarged to take care of 1000
tons of cabbage to be produced by
farmers of that county this season.
This factory has had ten vats
holding 25 tons each of raw cab
bage and the new owners have added
five other vats with a capacity of
80 tons each, which gives the fac
tory total capacity of 500 tons of
raw product" says H. R. Niswonger,
extension horticulturist at State
College. Farmers of the county
have been asked to pledge them
selves to grow 900 tons of cabbage
for use at the kraut factory this sea-
son and 20 men have already signed
up to grow the vegetable at a con-
tract price of $12 per ton,
Mr.. Niswonger says the growers
are using a variety known as Enk--
huizen. With proper cultural meth
OdS, lisS dileLE Will pIOuttCe ~
tons per acre and it is not impos-
sible to produce 25 tons as was done
by VI. P. Critcher. The farmers
have become interested in growing
the cabbage since they realize that
1000 tons at $12 a ton will mean
$4,000 for the county this year.
The new owners are also plan
ming to add other improved machin-
cry so as to lower the cost of prod
uction to the point where best prices
may be paid for the raw cabbage. 1t
is expected that snap beans, spinach
and other products will be canned
when the plant is not being used in
the manufacture of kraut and kraut
juice.
The permanent establishment of
this new market in the mountain re-
gion will depend on how it is sup
ported by nearby farmers, says Mr..
Niswonger. A constant supply OF
vegetables must be produced 50 that
the plant may be operated through
out the year. Indications are that
the venture will be well supported
and another source of cash will be
provided for the landowners of that
section.

Died Last Saturday

Captain Bartlett Roby Brown, 81
years old, well-known veteran of the
Civil war and leading citizen of
johnson county, died at his home
near Shouns, Tenn, last Saturday,
after a prolonged illness covering a
period of many months.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home Monday>at IL o'clock
by DR.. Will o. Gordon ard Rev.
Worley, following which interment
was in the family graveyard, not far
distant from the home of the de-
ceased.
Captain Brown enlisted under the
banners of the Confederacy on Au-
gust 10, 1861, and served through
out the war. He was captain in the
Goth North Carolina regiment,
which was attached to Colonel Folk ;
division and was a peerless Confed-
crate chieftain.

Wataugans were present at his
funeral. Messrs. John E. Brown,
J. B. Taylor, A. D. Wilson, R. S.
Swift, Dr. J. C. Farthing, Miss Jen-
ME Todd and Mrs. H. B. Perry were
among those going from Boone.
In commenting on the death of
| this beloved citizen, County Super
intendent Smith Hagaman had this
! to say;
Il knew him personally. but more
through my father, who was one of
the hundred, mostly Watauga boys,
who made up Captain Browns com
pany of cavalry during the war be-
tween the states.
my father thought of him and
loved him as one of the bravest men
who ever faced an enemy on the
battlefied-brave with discretion,
wise in planning and directing
invincible in spirit, but loyal to his
country's flag when the conflict
was over.
LAS a citizen, as | knew him, there
was none greater. | always felt
when in his presence that | was in
the presence of superior mind, a
rare personality, a citizen of unusu-
al worth. He bore himself with the
dignity of Washington, Lee and
Jackson, and like them, too, with
that gentle Christian spirit that
makes all men akin.
GAS a business man, he was sue
cessful in a marvellous degree. He
accumulated fortune, but only by
/ square dealing with his fellow man.
East Tennessee ha seen the
passing of one of its most distin-
Carolina one of it's most honored
and beloved sons. But few remain
| like him."

to Avery Wool Deal

throughout Watauga county to the
effect that the wool pool arranged by
the county agent in Avery county

of money to sheep growers of that
section. This argument has been
Gsed against the county agent move

Ir. G. P. Hagaman is in receipt Of
a letter from John w. Goodman, dis
tyict agent, to the effect that the
wool has not been sold. Bids were
received, but the committee rejected
Them as too low. 81 cents. He

THE SCHOOL ROW
AT BLOWING ROCK
Citizens in Mass Meeting Urge In
vestigation by State Department.;
Launch Attack on County Board
of Education

Blowing Rock, June 12.-Resolu.
cions asking for an investigation by
the state department of education
INTO three branches of Watauga
county school administration were
passed last Thursday night by a
mass meeting of citizens of the
Blowing Rock consolidated school
,istrict. The three investigation
asked are:
First, into the legality of the ap-
pointment of the county board of
education.
Second, into the disposition of the
Blowing Rock school funds for the
,9ast seven years.
n Third, into the eligibility of tw
members recently appointed to the
iocal school committee.
The mass meeting followed the
rejected Monday by the county
board of education of petition ask
ing for the appointment of a prom
inent citizen of Blowing Rock on
the local high school committee in
place of one of the two men to
whom the meeting objected.
These two appointees, the resolu-
ions said, are ineligible under arr
10, section 1875, of the state school
law, requiring committeeman to be
persons of intelligence, of good
moral character and known to be
in favor of public education" Tbs
resolutions charge that these ap-
continents were made to defeat the
win of the Blowing Rock school dis
trict, particularly in the matter of
selecting a principal. To forestall
he petition, the resolutions said, the
appointments were made at a called
meeting in advance of the regular
meeting.
1t is charged that the county
board of education was not nomi-
rated or elected according to sec
lions II and 13 of article 2 of the
school law, covering such elections.
1t was charged that persons, Who'll
y without authority, went to an
other county, and in opposition to
he will of the local district, actually
selected a principal for the school
and announced that such principal
had been secured before any meet
ing to elect teachers had been held
Oy the local committee.
BY such means, the resolutions
say in closing, the Blowing Rock con-
solidated school district is denied a
voice in the management of its own
school.
The resolutions are signed by D.
P. Coffey. chairman, and Cameron
Williams, secretary.

A Tribute

Prof. ID. d. Dougherty, who had
for five months been w2ging a los
ing fight against a malady that is at
the present day making such large
inroads into human lfe-heart dis
ease-succumbed to the malady
Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock.
1t has been my good fortune to
intimately know him for long years,
and for number of years to be as
sociated with him in the school work
Of our county.
Prof. Dougherty was one of the
few Watauga boys of his early days
whose good fortune it was to go to
college He and his brother, Dr. s.
B. Dougherty, president of the Appa-
lachian State Teachers College, aft
er a long and difficult struggle for
an education, returned to their ma
tive county and with an indominable
will and faith three themselves INTO
the task of building a school for the
boys and girls of the mountains. To
this task, Prof. Dougherty gave his
life. To write of this would be to
write the history of the growth and
development of the Appalachian
State Teachers College, one of the
states greatest educational institu-
tions.
Every great man possesses some
outstanding characteristic that
makes him unlike his fellows-some
one thing, some another. 1t was al
ways easy for those who knew his
inner life to see these distinguishing
characteristics of Prof. Dougherty,
Here it is, while others thought and
moved in the usual tenor of life, he
was planning ways and means where
by he could help and encourage those
who needed it most-to make life a
little happier and sweeter for the
other fellow.
He was one of the most generous
men | ever knew. Witho t show, he
was always displaying charity wher
ever he could relieve suffering or
want. Just five days before he died,
as his last act on earth, he called
his wife to his bedside and directed
her to write a check which he i'm
mediately sent to me to be used in
alleviating some case of distress of
which he had heard so many on first
Mondays in the office of the county
welfare superintendent.
Prof. Dougherty was an exceed
ingly busy man, but he made a large
place in his life for his religious
activities. A Sunday school teacher
of rare ability and power, men,
Der of the executive board of the
Three Forks Baptist Association, he
gave much time and thought to the
development of the churches of the
county. Each Christmas he mailed a
check to the preachers of the county.
Realizing that he might not live to
the next Christmas, he mailed rhis
usual check to the preachers two
ago.
The last time saw him in life was
when he with his wife and brether
signed deed conveying to Boone
Baptist church the valuable lot on
which the new church building Isl
being erected and with radianre
akin to the other side, he smiled and
said: 81 am glad to give it.
