Start Drive To
Extend Highway
64 To The Ocean
(lolutnbiu Citizens Now Work
ing for I)ir??ct Route from
Ocean to Mountains
A drive to connect Ihe ocean with j
Murphy by a direct hardsurfaced ,
route is now being formulated by
Messrs. Floyd and Earl Cohoon,
prominent Columbia business men.
According to Victor Meekins, Dare
sheriff and Manteo editor. "It is the
idea of these men that Route 64,
which traverses Columbia, can be
made one of the most famous tour
ist routes in America. As was advo
cated by C. Wallace Tatem some
years ago, Route 64 is considered a
great route for a park to park high
way connecting the Cape Hatteras
National Seashore with the Smoky
Mountains. The enthusiastic Cohoons
who by the .way,* ate not closely re
lated. believe they can go even fur
ther and by organizing an associa
tion whose membership would be
confined to the towns and villages
traversed by this highway from Col
umbia to Murphy, they would not
only effectually advertise it on a na
tional scale, but would create senti- I
ment that would tend to bring about
many improvements. They consid
er it a disgrace to the State of North
Carolina that this road has never
been extended beyond Albemarle
River and think it is the state's duty
to push it on to Roanoke Island and
the seashore.
"The two Cohons expect to send an
invitation to Dare County people
and to all other towns east of Raleigh
along this route to join them in tak
ing initial steps in forming such an
organization. They refer to the many
historic points ol interest that He in
proximity to the route or immed
iately on it.
"They go far enough to say that
east and west should join hands in
perpetuating this great road and in
sharing its attractions with the na
tion to their mutual profit.
" 'Why should not," say they, "the
people of the "mountain region de
light in sending down tourists to the
far east in exchange for our visitors
who we might direct westward? With
each section working in unanimous
cooperation we would keep thous
ands of people within the state, who
now either go north or south.
search of attractions that can no
wise compare with those we have in
North Carolina '
"The Cohoons say that before the
summer is over, they will initiate
this movement and will have the
united backing of their home town
to start with."

Planning Tour Of
Farms In County
Martin County farmers are being
invited to participate in the annual
county farm tour scheduled for Wed
nesday of next week. This is the third
annual tour planned in the county,
and more farmers are expected to
participate in the review of farm
practices than last year.
A schedule of the tour is now in
the making, and will be made pub
lic within the next two or three
days. According to tentative plans,
farms in nearly every township in
the county will be visited during the
one-day tour. Particular attention
will be centered on various fertiliz
er and variety tests and hog breed
ing. Included in the tour will be vis
its to two Farm Security Adminis
tration farms and two vocational
agriculture projects.
Power farming will be reviewed,
and other interesting projects will
be visited.

Pulp Mill to Reopen in This
County on Monday, July 24
The plant of the North Carolina
Pulp Company in the lower part of
this county, closed for the past two
months by a strike of the parent mill
in Dclair, N. J., will reopen on Mon
day, July 24, according to an official
announcement released yesterday
afternoon by Manager Cox. Opera
tions at the plant in this county will
be advanced independently of the
mill in New Jersey, an unofficial re
port stating that the output will be
shipped to Richwood, West Virginia,
for manufacture.
The reopening of the plant will
place more than 300 people back to
work in the county, it was estimated.
Unable to effect a settlement of a
strike at the New Jersey plant, ap
proximately 700 workers continue
idle there.
While proposed plans to increase
the capacity of the plant in this coun
ty have been abandoned, it is un
derstood that the company is going
forward with a program to refine its
output and bleach a portion of the
raw pulp that is ordinarily shipped
to other mills for finishing.
It is not likely that full-capacity
production will be maintained by
the mill upon its reopening two
weeks from now, but alt its employ
ees will be put back to work in the
mill or in making preparations for
refining the raw pulp.
An official statement on the com
pany's plans for future developments
and operations is expected from the
home office tomorrow or Thursday,
it was learned here today.
FEW CALLS
Calls received by the local
volunteer fire department have
been few and far between this
season. Yesterday morning at
8:35, the department had a call
from a Marshall Avenue home,
but just as the apparatus was be
ing moved out of the station, a
second call was received advis
ing the fire was out.
The call yesterday was the
first received by the department
since May 15.
So far this year, the town has
one of the best fire loss records
in several years.

Highway Accident Record
Automobile drivers in Martin County placed their names on the
safety honor roll during the week ending July 9 for the first time
in recent months, incomplete reports showing that travel moved in
and through the county without an accident of any kind. While the
splendid record of the past week does not prove that Martin Coun
ty drivers attained perfection when it comes to thoughtful and care
ful operation of their motor vehicles, there are grounds for believ
ing that the large number of accidents and the heavy life toll dur
ing recent weeks are having their weight in awakening the motor
ists from the apparent lethargy surrounding the operation of their
cars.
The property damage resulting in automobile accidents, is run
ning far ahead of that for the same period a year ago, and the high
way death toll to date is greater than it was for all last year
With these cold facts staring motorists in the face, there is every
reason in the world for them to stop and think more about the rules
of the road.
A comparison of accident records for the past week and for the
first months of the year follows:
Property

Review Of Forest
Fire Serv ice In the
bounty Last Year
Sixty Firo Cause Damage Ks
timnted at More 'Dian
7,000.00
Reviewing the activities of the
State-County forest fire service in
this county for the past year, Dis
trict Forester P. W. Tillman point
ed out in a recent report that a dam
age estimated at $7,008.00 resulted
to the forests in this county as a re
sult of sixty fires during the period.
Scattered all over the county, the
sixty fires burned over 4,403 acres,
it was estimated. The report furth
er shows that 926 acres of merchant
ible timber were partially or whol
ly damaged.
Forester Tillman pointed out that
there were 166,500 acres of forest
land in the county, that the fires
damaged 2.6 per cent of the acreage,
averaging 73.39 acres per fire.
Most of the fires were caused by
brush burning and by careless
smokers, the report pointing out
that eight parties were prosecuted
in the courts for alleged violation of
the forest fire laws. Judgment was
apparently suspended in all the cases,
the report showing that only court
costs were collected. The costs were
negligible, averaging less than $5
foi each of the eight cases. Supres
lion coats collected following thir
teen fires amounted to $70.27.
While the service had the general
cooperation of landowners and far
mers, only $42 10 worth of labor was
volunteered free in fighting the
fires.
The report gives the county war
den, S. J. Tetterton, resigned, cred
it for working 2,500 hours, and shows
that he traveled 10.267 miles during
the period in promoting the service
and in handling fires. The warden
interviewed 220 persons and person
ally participated in fighting twenty
seven of the sixty fires. He also in
spected saw mills, visited the schools
and posted signs warning against
forest fires.
During ttl?~"year, the district war
dens and other men in the organiza
tion traveled 3,243 miles and work
ed 5,146 hours in promoting the ser
vice and combatting fires.
At their recent meeting, the coun
ty commissioners appropriated $1,
000 as the county's part in promoting
the forest protection program dur
ing the current fiscal year under the
local direction of Warden Marvin
Leggett, of Griffins Township.

Farm Security Makes
J
Record in This County
Eleven Farms Are
Purchased Under
Security Farm Plan
I'mgriini I- Moving Forward
Rapidly in the County,
Modlin Says
Created by the present National
Adnnnistration to convert tenants
into independent farm owners and
opei a tors, the Farm Security Ad
ministration is meeting with a mark
ed success in this county David
Modlin, head of the local district,
said this week. "Martin County led
the entire region of five Southern
States in the purchase of farms for
tenants," Modlin explained. It has
been a slow process, no doubt, but
the rapid trend from land owner to
tenant has apparently been check
ed and the pendulum is swinging in
the other direction.
Not all of the eleven purchases
have been consumated, but the plans
are complete with the exception of
a few legal technicalities that must
be handled before the actual trans
fer of ownership can be effected.
Martin County tenants have shown
a marked interest in the rehabilita
tion program, more than 150 having
upplied for farms under the special
program last year. No definite al
lotment has been assigned this coun
ty for the new fiscal year, but the
Farm Security Administration re
cently-received an increased appro
priation at the hands of Congress and
it is possible that the farm purchase
movement will gain momentum this
year throughout the country. In ad
dition to around 150 applications
brought over from last year, the
office of the administration in this
county has received twenty addition -
al ones within recent weeks. Other
applications will be considered, and
any tenant in the county who wishes
to start out on his own is invited to
file hiuk application in Modiin'i of
fice at the county courthouse.
In promoting the farm purchase
plan, it is planned to handle the ap
plications and place the new owners
in a position to start farming for the
1940 season Those wishing to par
flcipate in the program and who
have not already done so are direct
ed to get their applications in im
mediately.
The greatest trouble in advancing
the program in this county is the
limited number of farms for sale
More tenants could have been placed
on farms of their own had there
been more farms for sale in the
county last year.
Reporting on the activities carried
on those farms recently purchased
through the Farm Security Adminis
tration, D. G. Modlin states that he
is more than pleased with the pro
gress made to date. "Proof has been
advanced by everyone of those far
mers that the Farm Security Plan
is sound, that it offers one solid and
sure approach to the farm tenant
problem," he added.
ATTENTION
Delayed for some unannounc
ed reason, a representative of the
La Cooperative des Tahacs I.au
rrntiens, of Joliette, Quebec,

LastRound Up of Dons Draws
To A Close in Martin County
The enforcement of that Slate law
requiring the vaccination of dogs
againsyabics is nearing 100 per cent
effective this week as officers con
tinue plans to carry alleged viola
tors into the courts on Saturday,
July 15.
Armed with criminal warrants, of
ficers invaded four townships last
week and left little doubt in the
minds of twenty-two dog owners that
the law would be enforced in this
county. Ten of the warrants were is
sued in error, and in those cases the
defendants will be dismissed by the
courts, no doubt. Twelve other de
fendants have been ordered to ap
pear before Justice J. L. Hassell for
trial on Saturday of this week. Ad
ditional warrants are now being is
sued in Roberaonville, Goose Nest
and Hamilton Townships and it is
likely that two dozen or more per
sons will be called upon to explain
why they have not had their dotts
vaccinated in accordance with the
dictates of the law.
In several cases where warrants
were issued last week, it was ex
plained that the name of the rightful
owner of a dog was not given when
the dog was vaccinated, that a mem
ber of the family unintentionally
claimed ownership. In thoses cases
the name of the owner found on the
tax books did nut correspond with
the name of the one having the dog
vaccinated
In'most of the cases where war
rants were issued, the owners had
killed their dugs but failed to report
their action.
An aged reliefer, sought under the
dog law. explained that he did not
have enough money to buy gun shells
to kill his two dogs. A Jamesville
merchant furnished two shells, and
the'old codger complied with the
law by tha skin of hit teeth.
Indications Point
To Billion Pound
Crop Of Tobacco
l-'.Hiiinatr of Crop Reporting
lloonl I* Saiil To Br
Conservative
The federal crop reporting board
in a report Released yesterday pre
I dicta a tobacco crop in excess of one
J billion pounds this season, the esti
mate being regarded by many as be
ing very conservative. The more
liberal guessers are of the opinion
that the crop now in production will
approximate a billion and one quar
ter pounds, the latter guess depend
ing upon weather conditions to a
j great extent.
A preliminary survey of crop con
ditions in the eastern North Carolina
l>elt during the past few days indi
cates that a considerable poundage :
will be lost in harvesting, one au
thority pointing out that much of the
crop was Hi I ring up in the ?
fields and that following the recent
i a ins the stage is set for rapid ripen
ing
The crop reporting service report
reads, in part, as follows:
With all belts showing a marked
increase, the largest step up in pro
duction coming from the old tobac
co-producing areas of North Carolina
the board reported 1.103.000 acres
I planted to flue-cured tobacco and an
1 mdleuted production of 1,022,905,000
pounds.
The record-breaking crop, which
is the first produced without produc
tion control since passage of the
AAA act in 1933. is the result of not
only increased planting, but an es
timated larger yield per acre. In 1938
the 912.100 acres planted to flue
cured yielded an average of 861
pounds. The estimated acreage yield
fot the 1939 nop IS plttOed al 927
pounds as compared to the 1928-37
average of 760 pounds.
The crop reporting board estimat
ed a total tobacco crop, including all
classes, of 1,654.222.000 pounds as
compared to the 1938 crop of 1,378,
534,000 pounds. .
The 1939 flue cured crop is ex
pected to exceed consumption by
around a quurter of a billion pounds.
The present indicated consumption
is between 740 and 750 million
pounds. The quotas fixed by Secre
tary of Agriculture Wallace which
failed t<? receive the necessary two
thirds support of growers in the ref
reiulum last fall called for a crop
of 754.000.000,000 pounds This would
have lined production with consump
tion as is the purpose of the AAA
program.
The April 1 report on tobacco
stocks showed 909,718.000 pounds of
flue-cured tobacco on hand. This is
more than a year's supply at present
consumption levels.
Another factor which clouded the
flue-cured tobacco picture today was
a report from the office of foreign
agricultural relations in London
stating that American exporters of
tobacco mav expect fo find market -
prospects in European countries for
flue-cured "somewhat less Javor
able" than during the last two sea
sons. This was attributed to the lar
ger stocks now on hand in Europe.
The Eastern North Carolina belt
will continue most to the increase in
1939 flue-cured production, accord
nig to tin* crop reputing, hoard re
port which places the indicated yield
at 366,000,01)0 pounds. This compares
p, prodiwiion |n this belt of 251,
980,000 pounds last year and the
1928-37 average of 262,540,000
pounds. In 1938 the growers in the
eastern belt planted 293.000 acres
and this year increased their acre
to 3611000 arr"* Last year thu
average yield in the belt was 860
pounds and the indicated yield this
