IN ASHETJLLE.
B Editor County Eecord:?To
B my friends and acquaintances
K of Williams jur? county; I take
9 advantage ot this opportunity
to advise }*ou of my location
H with the view of hating the
pleasure of seeing1 you, should
tm you visit our city this summer,
m ot of rendering you any assistance
should you be desirous of
P| locating here for the summer or
longer.
9 Asheville, said to be in the
M' Land of the Sky, certainly offers
W everything in the way of seen
W ery and climate that one could
I expect from the name.
I Situated in the midst of the
^ r\poountai?s of Western North
f Carolina, on the trench broac
river, a turbulent but pictur
esque stream, it covers mountain
and valley, running back tc
the foot of Sunset mountain
- where from Overlook Park, it*
F summit, yon can see miles and
atles around, into some five 01
six counties, mountain rolling
on mountain in one grand, mag
niiicejit mass.
As ycu can well imagine, at
this altitude of over 5,000 feet
^-above sea-level the climate k
m*" delightful. While the days are
hot and sultry, from four to five
K o'clock in the afternoon the
temperature begins falling, until
you you are reminded of a
typical October evening.
Asheville is strictly a health
# and pleasure resort, and for
this reason, together with the
high freight rates she is sub
ject to, manufacturing industries
have little showing and mak?
slow progress. So she is main
ly dependent on her retail trade
and the hosts of visitors that
come each year with the ap
proach of warm weather, for
| her support
V She can claim many advantages
as a health resort, for
aside from the beneficial climate
and pleasing scenery, natural
drainage is accelerated by
well paved streets and excel
r> . lent sewerage system.
Many of the principal streets
are now being paved with
"Bitulithic" paving, a composition
of crushed rock and pitch,
put down in successive layers
and rolled, and these streets,
as ay'others, are not only swept
by t"*e usual "street sweepers,'5
but are washed off every Dight
by water wagons.
I feel safe in saying that sanitary
conditions here are away
above the average city, and the
streets are the cleanest of any
city I have ever visited.

AND PLANT LIFE.
1 Editor County Record:?A
| bulletin from the Department of
Agriculture, urging the importance
of planting heavy seed?
' > - - . a. 3
. especiauy neavy tuuwu ?ccu,
awakens a further inquiry
" whether the oil in cotton seed
' acts as a. fertilizer. Professors
say not, but I reckon there is
- only one opinion as to a heavy
cotton seed producing healthy,
vigorous plant, and a light seed
! producing a weakly, sickly
plant. But light seed, it is said,
, will germinate quicker than
^ j heavy seed.
A heavy seed has stored up
, it it more nutriment for the subi
s>.stence of the young plant, un;
til its roots can grow and gather
nourishment from the soil.
Every cotton chopper has had
in trvirnr to chotl out
ej r /?
ithe weakly plants and leave the
] vigorous ones, for when light
j;seeds are sown with heavy
j seeds, the little, weakly fellows
jare right where we want to
. leave * big one,
^ Just so with heavy and light
seed corn?and I always plant
! two to three grains in a hill and
' j thin out to a stand. It pays to
j1 do it, for you find a large percentage
of small, weakiy plants
j in the hill with the big ones and
can choose the best.
A heavy gram of corn, when
it sprouts, will swell out full of
| rich, starchy plant-food for the
i al_:? ?
e young" piani to lurive un unui ji
v can take care of itself; but a
V light, immature grain cannot
n furnish a sufficient quantity of
K.'the rich plant-food; hence a
v I weakly stalk.
s\ But what is it found in the
-icorn grain that furnishes the
j- i proper food for the baby plant?
e | A portion of it is oil?corn oil?
- which sells for good money in
n the market as a by-product in
e j in some factories. This oil is
e stored up in the grain for use in
o : producing the aforesaid nourish
j ment; for the moment it sprouts
- to grow, nature's laboratory
down in the ground produces a
combination of elements to furnish
the proper plant-food.
t Just so in the cotton seed.
, The oil in the seed was not oil
- in the ground, but was formed
s in the plant-seed by chemical
- ?.ci AT? ?I *
f i union, W1XIJ lUCSdpui LUC piaui,
i and such gases or elements as
s | are needed to produce the oil.
, J As an illustration, a pear limb
fi grafted in an apple tree
' | produces a pear out ot the very
J | same tree-sap that the apple
'1 tree uses to make an apple. The
5 chemical union in the pear bud
- being different from that in an
1 apple bud produces a different
r article.

its sap with something to make

for the young plants to use.
Just so the cotton leaves and
blooms form a little laboratory!
in which the sap of the plant
unites with something- else present
and forms oil,?cotton seed J
oil, which is stored away to be
chemically changed into the |
richest plant food for the young j
plant the moment it sprouts in i
the ground.
The kernel of the cotton seed,
containing the oil, unfolds- into
leaves as soon as it gets to the
surface, bi^not until its thick,
swollen rdfct has absorbed the
nutriment resulting from the
chemical transformation of its
oil into a rich plant food for its
sustenance.
And right here, let me say, if

grow a moment after they appear
above the ground.
I have been wondering if
green seed for manure should
not be ground first, but I don't
know. I wonder if applying:
ground seed with the oil in them
would not be like applying crude
oil as a fertilizer? Because the
ground seed, having no disposition
to sprout, the chemical
