fixing the tar rate at $500, the

The proposed budget, which is
expected to be approved, calls
for an increase over last year,
but there is also an increase in
valuation of property over the
past year, chiefly because of the
horizontal raise on real estate.
The county's estimated valua-
ton of taxable property is $4,000
10000. With a tax rate of $500,
the estimated tax levy is 100000.

''We would like to have all

Reached Peak
Monday, Tuesday;
Prices Are Good
Around $4,000 Bushels Are
Sold In Two Days; Quality
Is High

West Jefferson became a big
bean center this week when the
volume of sales reached a new
high peak for the season as well
as in the history of the markets.
According to figures released
by government inspectors, slight
ly more than 1000 bushels were
sold on both Monday and Tuesday
nights with prices averaging
around SLIT per bushel, bringing
an income to the farmers Of
around $44,250.O0 for the two
nights. Figures for Wednesday
night were not available in time
for publication.
Considering the big increase in
volume, here and elsewhere, the
prices were good. The quality Of
most of the beans was also above
average, officials pointed out.
Officials on both markets asked
that the public cooperate in al
leviating traffic congestion. Spec
tators and others not bringing
beans are asked not to park in
market grounds which are for
trucks loading and unloading
beans.

In Initial Lamb Show Here

The Ashe County All Club
Lamb Show, the first of it's kind
in the State, held here last week,
was well attended and the large

tributing a number of prizes.
Ten boys and two girls who had

fine alfalfa fields of the county.
Ashe, with silage can furnish
excellent feed for the winter
months, he points out. Special
Importance is attached by Ashe
county dairymen to silage," Mr..
Lloyd said, "And we learned
about silage and its Importance
from the two dairymen who had,
with the help of Levern johnson,
built two of the first three silos in
the county. They were Bob
Hardin and w. M. Burkett, and
what strange silos they showed
us. At least they were strange
to one accustomed to the upright
concrete or wood silos that dot
the landscapes of the middle
west"
When Mr.. Lloyd drove into the
Hardin farm, he was surprised
that no silo could be seen. Mr..
