Ji VOLUMN LXI. our..BUB ?RTDAY, MARCH 21ST, 1930 NUMBER 5 Louisburg Road To Be Surveyed Howerer, Sometime Yet Before State Takes Over Maintenance Job?to Shorten Distance. Work of surveying the road from Warrenton to Kearney ? seven or eight miles from the Franklin capi tal?will,begin in about three weeks, however It will be some time yet bo fore the Highway Commission takes ever the entire road tor mainten ance, according to a letter from John Sprunt Hill, road commissioner. Mr. Hill said that be would be unable to give the exact location of the road until the survey had been made, but that he was inclined to believe that the final location would follow close ly along in the present road In War ren and that important relocation would take place in the Franklin ortion so as to shorten the distance r.nd cut out unnecessary curves. There has been an active effort here for years to have Commissioner Hill to place this route on the ap proved State highway map, and the to the State system is welcomed however, It is regretted that the en tire road cannot be taken over for maintenance at once. Mr. Hill's letter: "At the last meeting of the High way Commission held on February 18th a road 17 1-2 miles long, from Warrenton, county scat of Warren ? county, to Kearney in "Franklin coun ty, was added to the State System. Fngineers of the Highway Commis sionaire now working on a road in Wake county, which will take them about three weeks longer, after which tl,ey will ^proceed to make survey of this road from Warrenton to Jvear nev. Until report of the engineers comes into m" office, I cannot give you an'y definite location of the road. I rom what I know' of the situation T am inclined to think, (hat the final )1 J for Hayeayille Township Wednesday ' 1 evening March 12, with 22 interested farmers present. , Meeting waarcalled to order by i' chairman of -Tbwership. Mr. P. J , ! Beaslcy of Louisburg, made a few brief remarks on the plans and work ings of the organization. Mr. Sheffield, of the State College was chief speaker of the evening He presented some very brief and interesting figures on the agricul tural crops and conditions of out county. Showing we were falling fat short on hay crops that we could grow at' a nice profit if we would only make an effort to grow some Hanking very well on corn but grow ing it at a loss per acre because ol our low yield. Growing cotton at s small lose per acre on . account ol low yield and short staple, not specializing enongH ' on some of the best long staple varieties. He also stated we could do well on livestock In this country such as cows, hogs, and poultry If we would only raise more feed for them. All of this was based on a three year period ending with 1928. All of us very well know that we grew cot ton at a much larger loss last year titan in years past. In my opinion the County as a whole only broke even on tobacco last year. According to all Information vfe can not expect any better prices on these crops for this year. Are the tobacco companiea and cotton manu ractnrers going to give us any relief on these crops so long as we con tinue to grow a surplus of them! I say no.. Our only solution to the problem is to grow our own bogs and hominy *nd board at the same place. We had one farmer to report from Goldmine Township that he growed 26 barrels of com last year at a cost cf 60c per barrell. If this farmer can grow com for 60c per barrell, I believe we have some good termers in the county that can grow It tor 60c per bushell. Lata try our dead level best on these crops for 1930. J. D.
