A Home Economics club is be-
ing organized among the home
economics students of Etowah
high school. This will be the first
club of it's kind at Etowah. A
representative from each of the
three home economies classes was
voted upon by the class to help
Mrs. Dotson organize the club.
These are: Helen Wilson, Claudine
Cairnes and Edith Allison. They
have set up the following stand
ards for the girls who wish to
join:
|. Interest i'm home economies;
3. Good conduct. (They define
conduct as good manners at all
times, no lying or cheating in or
out of school, obedience to all the
teachers. high regard for school
property, and good sportsmanshlp
IN all school activitieS.)
3. An average of b in studies;
4. A willingness to take part in
all club activities.
Practically all home economies
students have shown a desire to
belong to the club, and those who
the class representatives and
sponsors feel can meet the stand
ards will be the charter members.
Those furthering the club hope
that the girls of the Home Eco
Monies club will set an example
in the above standards and will
thereby be of benefit to their
school and community.

OFF TO A GOOD START

The local football season got
off to a good start in spite of the
fact that both local teams lost
their opening games.
The Bearcats played a nice
game against Mars Hill and local
fans were impressed with heir
work. Many felt that the locals
earned a tie with the visitors, who
defeated Christ School the prevI-
Gus week. Christ School then
turned around to defeat Biitmore
college last week.
But the most encouraging sign
+ the attitude Of the Bearcat
SQUAD and. we might say, of the
student body. Coaches Stephens
and Kolb have already done won
ders i'm this respect. and before
the season is over the Cats will
have a team entirely creditablc to
those of past years.
The support Of the citizens was
better at the opening game than
at any time last year. Thanks to
the efforts of the Kiwanis and
Rotary clubs, a large crowd was
on hand.
With the support of the town
and a better attitude among stu,
dents and players, the season Will
be successful.
The Hilltoppers were not so I'M
pressive in their game with Ashe-
Vile. But the Hilltoppers are a
new team, and Friday was their
first game together. They we're
short on practice, short on re-
serves. and the time for condition
ing the players had been short.

Black Locust Is
Ideal Tree For
Rundown Farms

\ black-locuSt fence post on
the FARRELL Jarrett farm in Jack
son county. Ga. has been in use
more than 70 years. Before the
Civil war. the post was cut and
set. A gate hung on it for years.
Still well preserved. the post is
now being used in woven wire
fence.
Black locust. one of the fastest
growing hardwood trees, is used
extensively by farmers co-Opcrat-
inc with the department of agri-
culture in the control of erosion.
Planted i'm quilted areas or on I'M
productive land where the topSoil
has been removed, the trees re-
tard damage from washing.
Under favorable conditions. the
locust grows rapidly and yields
durable fence post sin 10 or IL
years. Trees 30 feet high and D
inches in diameter are often
grown in Is years.
A legume. black locust draws
upon the unlimited nitrogen in
the air and fixes it in the soil,
thereby increasing fertility. The
wood OF the locust is heavy, hard,
and very durable. Its lasting quail
tiles as Tense posts are greater
than those of many other woods.
Locust reproduccS freely from
root suckers, stump sprouts, and
seeds which nearly always are
fertile. Spring is the best time
20 plant locust, but seedlings may
be planted in the fall.

At Woodruff, S. c., the SOL!
conservation Service-in cO-opcra-

about a Z per cent slope on a
sandy clay soil. From u $3.50
inch rain the percentage of run
off was - for a second year les

So for Il cotton plot and SIS per

for cotton, and $4,000 for the
bare plot.
In this same locality the aver
age run-off of rain from lespedeza
was little less than II per cent
but nearly Is per cent from cot

was 1.1S tons an acre, but 10

Farm Incomes In
Nebraska Stage
22.Million Gain
Livestock Increase, Good
Wheat Offset Failure
of Corn
By ROBERT KELLY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN. Nch., Oct. &. (CP,
NcbraSka'S farm income from sale
of crops for the first seven months
of this year WAS more lh&n three
times rs much as for the same pc
riod in 1885, despite the fact that
the federal. government placed vir-
tually all OF the state in its irouth
area.
Income from sale of livestock
and products OF livestock for the
same period was 81 per cent great
or than last year.
These facts were contained in 4
report made by \. f.. Anderson,
state director of the division OF
agricultural statistics Of the !. S.
department of agriculture, to the
state emergency council.
After taking IN inventory OF
feed supplies, Anderson reported
that Nebraska can maintain nor
nal livestock production with the
exception of hog raising, which
wi! lbC only l3 per cent of normal.
The supply of cattle is 100 per
cent of normal and the supply of
sheep is LOG per cent of normal.
FEW FARMERS ON RELIEF
The optimistic picture Of agrl-
cultural conditions in Nebraska
as the state is almost wholly de-
pendent on agriculturC-was re-
Elected in the report of the reset
Element administration. which
showed that only about 5000
farmers were receiving subsistence
grantS-about a fifth rs many as
in either of the Dakotas and half
as many as in Kansas.
NebraSka'S 1886 corn crop virtu-
ally was a failure. In other words
il was only - pcr cent of aver
age, according TO AndcrSou'S cSti-
mate. Corn in NebraSka'S major
CROP.
That situation, however, was
offset by three encouraging de-
vclopmentS:
l. Greatly increased farm
prices.
=. A i9-million-bushcl wheat
crop of exceptionally good quail
ity.
8. An abundant supply of hay
and straw. enabling the state to
maintain an ordinary level of beef
production.
RISE OF S22,000,000
Anderson reported that Nebras-
ka farmers pocketcd S32. 100000
from sale of cash crops during the
first seven months of the year,
compared with $l0,O0O,OOO during
the same period in 1885. They
drew $ll3.O00,000 from sale OF
livestock and its products during
the same period, compared with
$50. 100000 in 1885.
The StatiSticians said that those
sections of the state that have re-
ceived ample moisture this fall
will turn increasingly to the pro-
duction of wheat next year IN
stead of corn. This is due to the
fact that there is shortage OF
seed corn. Also, Nebraska farm.

1912 VOTE IN SHARP
CONTRAST TO QUIET
1887 ELECTION

The lack of interest in the
forthcoming city election leaves
Redwood Falls residents free to
recall a fiery campaign just 25
years ago when the largest num-
Der of voters in the city's history
turned out in a wet and dry fight
to tie j. P. Cooper and Julius Mel
ges for the office of mayor
Each man, Cooper the no-li-
cense candidate from the second
ward and Melges, supported by
license advocates and living in the
first ward, carried their home pre-
cincts by IA votes and each re-
ceived total Of 237 votes.
Interest in the election was
keen and feeling ran high as
large crowd waited until late
hour for the counting of ballots
to be finished at the polling places,
the old fire hall located at the site
of the Melges Produce and the
newer fire building situated where
the city hall now stands.
Confronted with the peculiar
problem, lawyers consulted the
city charter which they found
provided that a tie in an elective
office should be decided by cast
ing lots in the presence of the city
council.
Added interest in the intense
political battles of those days was
provided by the fact that w. T.
Wilcox, license candidate, de-
feated the incumbent F. G. Kumm
by 80 votes and John Kuck, no
license man, was elected by two
votes over 0. S. Dunham, there
