a Commissioner told the editor of the
TIMES that it took every cent that
each office turned in to the salary
fund to pay the salaries, and now the
Grand Jury reports a-profit to the
County of over seven thousand dol

CTTapeT Hill. Jan . 27. ? I'p to the
present time. counties have been
compelled to spend the
of Uml?-p*?tttt-{tmTte-OTr tire gain higE^
ways connecting the principal cities
and towns, which are used largely foi
commercial purposes. Even with
their maximum expenditure r fi.rwU

great majority of our farming class
do not receive any direct benefit from
these main roads, although they are
helping to pay for their construction
nnri nr^v^P ? Thg meuige fanner Is
very vitally inT*rf??f*d in thg county
or secondary roads, which _are per
force neglected by the county because,
rr has TTot Tuhd? for both the qiain
-highways ami the secondary roads.
If the county roads werF Improved
the farmers could reach the main hi
ghways with maximum loads ana
%?*?*?? derive the fullest benefit from
both county and main highways.
By the State s taking over these
main highways (5,500 miles) for con
struction and maintenance, the coun
ties will be relieved of this burden
and can use their own road funds for
building and maintaining the county
roads leading ouf into the various
farming sections and thus give the
average farmer a chance at a better
transportation system. There are a
bout 47.000 miles of these county or
secondary roads and the task of keep
ing these in good passable condition
will require all the funds the coun
ties can raise..

In a space where. only a short time
before. a company making or.e ol
America's finest automobiles had it's
exhibit, there are st vera 1 display pens

Catawba County furnished most of
the birds and sr. nt its farm d^monstra
ti<Jn agent J. W. Hendricks along to
bring back the latest information on
methods, appliances and practise de
veloped by the foremost poultrymen
of the "'United States who attend this
the premier poultry event of the year
The North Carolina exhibit was ar
rahged through A. G. Oliver, state
poultry club agent of the Agricultural
Extension Service, under whose su
pervision the boys and girls learn how
to raise purebred poultry that pavs.
The exhibit is financed by the N. C.
State Department of Agriculture, wh
ich last year sept the first exhibit of
its kind to the Madison Square show.
All the birds in the exhibit were se
lected from farm flocks that are own
ed alid cared for by club members
and because they are of high enough
quality to t>e exhibited among the a
ristocratic chicken^ raised by profes
sional breeders, xhibit of the club
members sefves- as a big advertine
ment for North Carolina.
I Most of the birds wifl be offered for
!sale after the show and It is expected
that, as was the case last year, they
will find reaily sale among fancier*
with large resources.

30 Buyers To Make Selections.
It is not known how long it will re
quire to make the selection of goods
for which the advertisement is issu
ed. Expectation is that the !^ew
York office will find plenty of selling
agents on hand, and the difficulty will
be one only of selection. T*o aid in
that 30 buyers have been designated
to go over the proposals made by the
selling agents.
The impofrance of the event, in the
eyes of bankers, is that this is the
first, large-scale buying program an
nounced since the gloomy prognosti
cations made by economists when the
present depression started last au
