Wool Production Increase
Is Object Of ASC Program
In contrast to the several pro
grams operated by ASC in Wata
uga County which serve to reduce
production of certain commodities,
ASC operates a program which
was designed specifically to in
crease the production of wool.
M. L. Shepherd, County Office
Manager for the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
County Committee, explained that
wool is an essential and strategic
commodity which is not produced
in sufficient quantity in the Unit
ed States. "For this reason", he
(aid, "Congress passed the Wool
Act of 1804 which directed the
Secretary of Agriculture to pro
vide an incentive program which
would encourage an annual pro
duction of 300 million pounds of
shorn wool."
For the last few years the incen
tive price under the wool program
has been set at 62 cnts per pound
for Shorn wool. The program pro
vides that farmers market their
wool in normal channels obtain
ing the best possible pice for their
production. At the end of the
marketing year, the Department
ot Agriculture determines the
average national price obtained
by all wool growers for their wool.
The percentage required to bring
this national price up to the 82
cent incentive level is determined
and all farmers who market wool
leceive this percentage increase
in their income from wool sold.
Payments in Watauga County last
year amounted to 16,848.
According to Sbepherd, every
year this program hu been in ef
fect it has served its purpose by
increasing the national produc
tion of wool. Should the :iational
average price received by wool
producers througsout the nation
during 1061 reach the 02c ievel
then payments will no longer be
necessary.

Ghost Mountain Represents |i
A Million Dollar Investment
Ashevill* ? The setting la a fit
tins one for a ml "spectacular."
A mountain In Maggie Valley, weet
of AshevUle, North Carolina. It
rises a steep 1,200 feet from the
valley flotr, a total at 4,300 feet
above sea level. j
It was here that R. B. Coburn,
formerly of Orangeburg, South
Carolina choae to build his new
fabulous Western North Carolina
visitor attraction ? Ghoet Moun
tain Park. Coburn has invested all
his faith and over a million dollars
in this interesting and unusual
venture.
He hauled In the heavy machin
ery and leveled off the top of his
peat and on various levels built,
completely, a western town, min
ing town, mountain town and an
Indian village, at least 41 authen
tic full size, perfectly equipped
buildings inside and out Twin in
cline railways carry visitors to the
summit. These railways at a
breathtaking 76.1 per cent grade
are the steepest in the country.
Twelve spcially designed buses al
so shuttle passengers up ihe moun
tain over a thrilling and beautiful
ride, a road built at a cost of over
$40,000. In one of the biggest
scavenger hunts in a decade, Co
burn sent his staff out to search
for authentic period furniture,
posters, art objects, costumes, and
to do research on the decor of the
1880 era. One of the "finds" was
an 1880 stage coach which saw
service in an actual hold up and
massacre of five people.
In the vast Western North Caro
lina playground region which is
famous as a family resort area,
noted for its spectacular scenery
and counts among its assets the
Blue Ridge Parkway, the nation's
most traveled noncommercial high
way and the Great Smokies, the
nation's most visited national
park, Ghost Mountain Park in
Maggie Valley is a dream world
come to life for the young in age
and the young in heart. In the min
log town, a simulated ride down
? (bait permits a search tor gold.
In the mountain village are cab
ins, a grist mill, a blacksmith's
shop and square dancers whirl to
the foot patting music of the old
time tunes of the banjo and fiddle.
The Indian village sports real In
diana borrowed from the Cherokee
Indian Village nearby. Upon en
tering the western town the first
thing that meets the eye ia Boot
Hill, realistic cemetery for the
cow pokes who preferred to die
with their boots on. There is a
bank, a marshall's office, the cafe,
a stable, even an old time pawn
shop. There is the Sliver Dollar
Saloon with red velvet walls and
an antique bar. On the stage at the
Silver Dollar Is the honky-tonk
piano grinding with gay music for
the Can Can girls. There is the
Red Dog Saloon which caters to the
less elite trade and is the favorite
of the gun slingers and the cow
boys. From the saloons these sun
slingers emerge periodically to
converge on the bank in a real,
gun fight and hold up.
In a more sentlimental mood
the little white church stands like
a sentinel at the end of the street.
Sunday services are held here and
the view out the window behind
the pulpit overlooks a world of
high purple mountains, iht long
green valley and a sky as crystal
blue as a gem stone with slowly
drifting white clouds.
This view typifies the unconqu
