Real Estate Purchases
May Point Up Trend
For Land Uses Here
Recent real estate purchases by
out-of-staters planning to develop
and sell lots to summer residents
may indicate a trend for future
land use, according to the super
visors of the Macon County Soil
Conservation District.
In their annual report Just re
leased, they said this "is a welcome
addition to the county economy,
as it offers addition outlets for
our farm products."
Many Homes
Many retired people are buying |
small amounts of land and estab
lishing permanent residences,
while many others are building
homes and spending from six to
eight months of, the year here,
it is pointed out. Proper land use
also has direct bearing on the
standard of living, the supervisors
declared.
"Recognizing that unwise land
use of past generations has con
tributed to the deterioration of
many acres of our farm land, the
supervisors of Macon County Soil
Conservation District recommend
that all land owners use to their
fullest extent the services offered
by all conservation agencies, with
the thought in mind that only by
wise use and sound conservation
practices of our soil and water
can we raise our standard of living
throughout the county."'
Poultry Tops
Approximately 52 per cent of
the farm income in 1958 was de
rived from poultry, the report
said, with hatching eggs alone
accounting for $1,295,000.
The Agricultural Conservation
Program and Soil Bank payments,
administered by the Agricultural
Stablization and Conservation com
mittee, contributed $72,664.48 to
the total farm income figure.

alone in '58, the supervisors ob
served that "our woodland, as a
farm crop, is being considered
by more and more land owners.
The services of our foresters that
are available to assist in proper
marking of timber for thinning
or harvest cutting are being used
more widely and should show re
sults in a few years in a better
stand of higher grade timber.
More trees are being planted each
year, either, on idle land or acres
of scrub woodland that have been
?cleared to get a good crop grow
ing." ,
Woodlands nov," contribute about
19 per cent to the total farm in
come figure, they reported.
Many Srrvlres
As one of many services render
ed during '58, the conservation
district sponsored "Soil Steward
ship Sunday". It also distributed
a thousand copies ol "The Story
of Land" to sixth graders in the
schools. In the FF.A. land judging
contest, it save a $20 cash prize,
and $15 to help pay the expenses
of a 4-H boy who took a soil and I
water conservation exhibit to
"State 4-H Week" in Raleigh.
Emphasis On Soil
"We believe that farmers should
place more emphasis on soil needs
and capabilities and treat eacn 1
one according to its needs in order
to protect and improve our lands.
It is good business, from a self
ish standpoint alone, since good
land yields a higher rate of re
turn and also demands a higher
sale price." the supervisors said.

Makes you feel better, you
know, to find out what others
think of you.
Bob Carpenter, treasurer for the
Franklin Youth Center, received
a letter last week from some
Florldluns that should make any
one with Macon County ties feel
good all over. It was from Mr.
and Mrs. Phil Hazazer, of Palmet
to. Fla. And here It is:
"We have shipped you two sets
of our ALUMASTOP' vinyl
weather-stripped door stop and
thresholds that we manufacture,
to be used on the exterior doors
of the Franklin Youth Center.
Please accept them as a donation
and turn them over to the proper
people that are going to do the
building. It Is such a small token
in return for the wonderful visit
we had when we flew in on the
Ruby Rendezvous. The friendliness
' of the people of Franklin im
pressed us so much that my fam
ily can't wait for spring to come
so we can fly back to your won
derful mountains. We have con
tacted your local real estate
people about buying some acieagc
for a summer home and will be
waiting for your ariport to open

week from our own Dewey Corbin,
whose latest claim to international

He thinks one of the most vital

His question probably is as pro
