The state highway and public works commission in meeting in Raleigh last week approved low. bids on construction of 11.65 miles | of route 115 betwem the Wilkes- boros and Statesville by way of 1 Hunting Creek. | E. W. Grannis Construction . .j; Company, of Fayettville, wa.s the '' low bidder on grading and gravel surfacing for the sum of $74,- 483.70 while the Hobbs-Peabody firm, of Charlott'', gets the con- ' tract for structures for the sum of $25,883.80. This project on the highway will begin at the end of the pres ent pavement near the Statesville city limits and extend to the Wilkes-Iredell line at a point near Comer’s store. Survey for the, Wilkes end of the highway has j been completed and it is expect- i ed that the remainder of the I road will be let as the first pro-, ' ject is completed. Although approval by the fed eral bureau of roads is necessary ! before the contractors can get to ' work, no hitch from that source is expected since the bids are con sidered in line. If the bids receive the approval of the federal authorities, there is, every reason to believe that work , will start on the Iredell project; within the n->xt ten days or two. weeks.

Any farmer may have the association terrace his land, permanently, for a cost of from $1.00 to $2.50 per acre. This charge would include capital outlay on the equipment and la bor and in this way the equip ment would be paid for without disrupting the county budget. Labor not included in this charge would be furnished by the FERA. Mr. Goodman stated, if the plan is work'd out. The idea of doing the terracing in the proper manner and with the intention of its being a per manent protection for the soil would always be carried out and th"! farmer would be assured of the best in erosion control. Mr. Goodman pointed out that terracing would not run much ; higher than the cost of an aver age bag of good fertilizer and. that permanent improvement = would be gain’d by this plan.
