C Many-letters are being received by the IT. S. Department of Agriculture which indicate that farm women in various sections of tho country haVe come to believe that the government is 'about to assist them with grants of money to individuals. This unfortunate mistake which, it is feared, will be the cause of considera ble disappointment; appears to have arisen through a misunderstanding the Smith-Lever act recently passed by congress. Under this act funds contributed both by the Federal and State governments are made available for practical demonstration work in agricultural and home economics. Ex perts from the agricultural- colleges and county agents, both men and wo men, are to show farmers and. farm women the value of modern methods in agriculture and . housekeeping, and demonstrate the" use of labor-saving devices. ,The purposes of the act are thus entirely educational; and there are no provisions whatever for direct financial assistance. . This demonstration work which the Smith-Lever act is designed to pro mote has already met with considera ble success in. the State where it has been started, but the additional funds now available will greatly increase it. efficiency. To avail themeslves to th full of its possibilities the department officials recommend that farm women form local clubs and then communicate Parris Sues Railroad Because; Its Em. .... . ployes Aided.

C., Oct.1 11, Be cause the conductor and fireman of a Southern Railway train helped the police to take him off the train and put him on the chaingang. for selling liquor, J. Roland Parris has brought an action against the Southern in the' Court of Common Pleas, of this.. coun ty for $2,000 damages. Parris, as proprietor of the Sham rock and Clover Clubs, made lots of money selling Jbeer and rode in an au tomobile until John F. Floyd became mayor and put on the lid. Parris was convicted time and again of violating the liquor laws but invariably ap pealed to the Supreme Court and kept on selling. V . Such an accumulation of convictions arose against him, however, that he left the city and went to live in Hen dersonville, N. C. - After his departure the Supreme court handed down a d cision affirming the conviction of Par ris In nine cases,, m which he was sen tenced to serve nine rrcnths. The police were informed on Au gust 14 that Parris had left. Hender- sonville on a train bound in this di rection. They went to Spartanburg Junction and arrested him. He served SO days of his sentence and then ob tained his release on a pqint of law. He declares in his suit that the rail way employes, in helping the police, invaded his rights and humiliated him.

Cohen, manager of the Greater Western North Carolina association, has been here for several days in con sultation with government officials. Today it transpired that his visit to the departments was in the interest of a great development for Western North Carolina, which if secured, and in all probability it will be secured will be of immeasurable benefit to the western section of the state. At' one of the departments The Citizen's rep resentative was informed that no de finite details would be made public at this time, but he was assured that the movement now afoot loomed big with promise of one of the greatest 'windfalls- Western North Carolina has known in more than twenty years.

Washington, D. C. Following ex tensive experiments begun last spring the head of the fruit and vegetable utilization laboratory of the Depart ment of Agriculture has applied for a public service pater t covering the making of a new form of table sirup from apple Juice. This patent will make the discovery, which the special ists believe will be of great value to all apple growers as a means of utiliz ing their culls and excess, common 'property of any cider mill in the Unit ed States which wishes to manufacture and sell apple cider sirup. The new sirup, one gallon of which H made from seven gallons of ordinary cider, is a clear ruby or amber colored sirup of about the consistency of cane sirup and maple sirup. . " Properly sterilized and put in sealed ting or bottles, it will keep Indefinitely, and when opened, will keep under house hold conditions as well as other sirups It has a distinct fruity aroma and special flavor of its own which is de scribed as being practically the same as the taste of the sirupy substance which exudes from a baked apple. The sirup can be used like maple or other sirups for griddle cakes, cereals, bousehold cookery, and as flavoring in desserts. The government cooking experts are at present experimenting with it in cookery and expect shortly to issue recipes for use or the new sirup in old ways and for taking ad vantage of its special flavor in novel dishes. The department chemists have al ready produced over ten gallons of this sirup in their laboratories, using summer and other forms of apples. The success of the experiments has greatly interested some of the apple growers, and during October a large cider mill in the Hood River Valley, Oregon, will in cooperation with the government chemists, endeavor to pro duce 1,000 gallons on a commercial scale and give the new product a thorough market test by making It ac cessible through retailers in a limited field. ' In compiling data for the last Fed eral Census the numerators asked every farmer in North Carolina this question: "How long have you lived on the farm vou now occupy?" This question was answered by 22;Cr7 of the 253,725 farm operators in this State. More than 61.000 stated that they had occupied their farms only one vear or less; 54,746 from 2 to 4 years; 36,170 from 5 to 9 years and 73,469 10 vears and over. The most restless class of people in this State is. the ten ent who operates his farm on the sharo basis. There are 92,248 of these farm ers in this State; 78,290 of them made answer to tbe query and their replies indicated that 39,041, of about 20 per cent of them moved every year.-Far- mers Union News service. Result of Frequent Change by Farmers An official of the Federal Census bu reau, in discussing the report recently issued by the government dealing with the term of occupancy of farms in the United States, said: "This frequency of moving from farm to farm, or instability of occu pancy, very ljkely, forms one of the chief; causes for the decline of rural prosperity, or is a hindrance to great er progress. Frequency of removal of farmers results in general , shiftless ness: the roads and bridges are gen erally in a poor condition because the farmers,. moving at frequent periods, are not particularly Interested in their upkeep. Farm buildings of such farms are not usually : kept , in good repair as the farmer who is about to nnoVe will leave the repairs for the next ten ant to make. The same reasons will anDly for lack of Interest by the "un stable" farmer in the schools, churches and general welfare of the community. They move frequently; they do not re main on a farm long enough to get the best results from it, consequently they are usually in a poor financial condition." ; BRITT SAYS HE DID ; GUDGER ; SATS HE DIDST; fluff WHAT I Great Campaign Controversy up Over Drafting of the Parcel Post B11L Black Mountain, Oct. 8. "When John A. Moon says that 1 did not chief ly draft the parcel post law, he utters an unqualified falsehood, and every person who repeats it after him like wise utters-what is absolutely untrue." So declared James J. Britt here to night during the course of his speech wherein he took occasion to reply to Congressman John' A. Moon's state ment, published in The Citizen today, in which Mr. Moon said that Mr. Britt had no part in drafting the parcel post law. Continuing his arraignment of Mr. Moon, Mr. Britt said: "While advocating in one of my pub lic speeches an extension of the par cel post ( I incidentally stated that I had, under direction of the postmaster general, and the request of the senate committee on postoffices and post roads, chiefly drafted our present par cel post law. .This statement Mr. Gudger challenged, and secured a let ter from Hon. John A. Moon, chairman cf the house committee on . the post- office and post roads, to the effect that I had nothing whatever to do with the drafting of that measure, which state ment is absolutely untrue, and every time "Mr. Gudger repeats it, he repeats that which has not in it a scintilla of truth.

"I have heard some reasons assign cd for not joining the board ot. trade In the last two days," said one pf the workers yesterday, "but today I ran up against something entirely new in ex cuses. Thr-e is 9 hian on Patton ave nue a business man who does - not belong to the board of trade, and hi? reason for not joining If probably the most unique of any ever advanced un der similar conditions. He says that the reason that he does not join the board of trade is that the organization is boosting Asheville to such an extent that it is growing too fast for the welfare of the city, and is bound to be hurt by too much boosting. For that reason he does not wish to add furth er funds to the resources of the board and declines to join. That sounds un reasonable, I know, but so does the fact that there is a business man on Patton avenue who is not a member of the board of trade."

The fodder pulling season for thia county is practically over with and, notwithstanding several days of per verse weather, an! unusually large quantity of fodder and tops have been saved, while agriculture departments decry the practice of saving fodder, saying that as much is lost in thQ corn as is saved in the fodder, yet many prefer to harvest it in this way as a grain crop. With the raising of more hay and other forage crops, the custom of pulling fodder may for the most part become an obsolete practice. BETTER BABIES CAMP.
