PAGE SI(rfeBt Seetfon) Killside Trait Program In County bomg On Vilh Much Success Way, march. Cost of Trail Construe- ' tion Under Expecta tion of Most Farmers Haywood county's trail making program to hillside pastures, which first went into eireet in February, is making good progress in its general aim of opening many here tofore inaccessible acres of land to the care that it needs. Details of the work are being carried out with results that have satisfied the participating farmers, aitd at a ' cost generally below what they es timated the job could be done for. The program was requested by the Haywood Agricultural Conser vation Association committee, county administrative unit for the AAA, alter several years ol thought and planning. It's subse quent approval on an experimental basis has focused attention on this county from state and national AAA administrators and farmers in nearby counties as well, who are greatly interested in seeing how it makes out. Better pasture, the program's goal, will not be attained overnight. The program is, of necessity, long range and must be carried out as nature permits. Many farmers have wanted trails made to their mountainous pas tures for years, but have felt they were unable to finance their con struction. Under the AAA program a large number of trails are con treated for at a minimum of cost, and the government pays half the cost for each farmer, up to a tolal ot $200, if the trails are cared for properly after being made. At the first of this week there had been trails constructed on 18 farms, in six townships. Each farm was averaging a trail of one mile in length, with an average cost of $120 per farm. Each trail is estim ated to have opened up approxi mately 50 acres of pasture. More Hails arc being construct ed daily, as weather permits, by five bull-dozer crews under the general supervision of Albert Abel. Applications are on hand in the county AAA office for 100 trails, most of which will be finished this spring. The farmer who wants a trail made first submits an application. This is referred to Mr. Abel, who inspects the farm and makes a recommendation to the county ACA committee. If they approve the dozers go to work as, soon as possible. r i , m muM laimers, nite i.

"He had the trail made by the time I finished telling him what to do." he commented. Like sev eral others before him, he had a longer trail made than he had planned at first, and found the cost unoer wnat ne expected. To get repayment on half th cost, he must meet two main speci fications. 1 Proper water outlets must be made on the trail to pre vent erosion. 2) Lime and phos phate must be aDDlied nn the. trail and it be seeded in an approved pasture mixture. This assures it of staying in good condition the vear round, allowing trucks or wagons to get uphill and bring fertilizer tor tne surrounding pastureland. Grass is thin on the hillsides, and growing thinner each year as the ground's natural supply of min erals is used up by the growth. This poor pasture supports few cat tle, and the longer it is uncared for the sooner erosion will begin and wash the topsoil away. With these trails lime and phos phosphate can be hauled to the hillsides, and spread to put new life in the soil. Grass and clover seed will be broadcast and the fields grow ereen and rich fnrH for more and better livestock which Is one of Haywood's primary cash crops. Jeff H. Enloe, district AAA field man, reports that agricultural AMERICAN MACHINE STARTLES FRANCE CHERBOURG (I5) A 30-ton machine, made in America and I shipped to France for use in the Renault automobile factory, stump ed engineers after they unloaded it from the ship. Ihe railroads were unable to transport it in one piece, and the engineers were afraid that bridges would break down under its weight if it were carried by truck. Despite snow and ice on the road, however, the engineers had to chance it and using a captured German artillery transport and tractor they virtually inched their I way to the capital. The bridges ; held up. The 220 mile triD took four days and a half to the factory gate, where a wheel broke under the machine's weight just as it ar rived. Then the Renault people found they didn't have a door big enough and had to batter down a wall to get it installed. Solon Predicts.. New War When, Russia Gets Atom Senator MeMahon Predicts Arms Race If Russia Rejects Plan To Control Atom NEW YORK W) Senator Me Mahon. Democrat of Connecticut, declared that if Russia rejects plans ioi- international central of atomic energy the worjd can look forward lo an armaments rate and a third world war In an address prepared for de livery before the SI. Patrick so ciety of Brooklyn, the Connecticut senator said he is "deeply dis lurbcd In the present status of atomic energy negotiations" in the 'Wlit of a recent speech by Andrei A. Grotmkn. Soviet representative on the United Nations Security council. "If our offer and our nlan is tn be finally rejected then I say to bluntly and frankly that ,we must be prepared lor the eventuality which has always resulted from armaments races," MeMahon de clared. MeMahon, a member of the Sen ate-House atomic committee, snid that it will be only a matter of time until Russia has the atomic bomb. He noted that the Russians apparently "see no cause for hur ry" in arriving at international agreements either on-atomic con- i trol or on a peace treaty for Ger- l many, i ... ., . is a because they see a con tinuing disintegration in the free world and hope that out of the chaos and dispair and misery that accompanies it will come their chance to inherit the earth?" he asked. "If they do, I would beg of them to see and understand that the American people have proved in tne tire of conflict that we think well enough of our way of life to die for it that we will not stand dly and passively by and watch the ways of totalitarianism engulf the earth." MeMahon argued that only by helping the rest of the world share in tne American standard of living can communism be defeated. "That is why, as I see it," he said, "we have decided to bring aid and succor and relief to the distressed nations of the earth."
