Roald Commission Farmers Urged To,
Says Road Sips To List Crop Reports
Remain In Place
- . * '
Misunderstanding De
velops Relative to
Local Signs
Officials of the State High
way Department this week re
peated earlier statements that
traditional road name signs on
rural Secondary Roads will re
main in place. Department of
ficials said that in some areas,
the public had thought that Sec
ondary Road numbers wfere be
ing assigned to replace familiar
local road name signs.
This is not at all the case, ac
cording to Secondary Roads Of
ficer John Swain. “We realize
; shnt many persons are accustom
ed to using the familiar road
J names and all of the signs dis
t played on paddle-type, wooden
• markers will remain as they
j have always been,” said Swain.
I He added that the Highway De
partment will continue to main
tain and replace these road
name signs whenever they de
teriorate through age or weather.
At its December 28 meeting in
' Raleigh, the Highway Commis
• sion went a step further- in re
gard to Secondary Road direc
, tonal signs. Whenever a com
’ munity or communities are ser
ved by a Secondary Road and
’ do not lie on the US or NC
. numbered system, large number
• ing signs will be installed, show
' in,g both the Secondary Road
number and direction arid mile
. age information to the com
■ munities.
i Some 18 months ago, the High
• way Commission installed li
i cense plate type, black and
: white signs, showing road num
bers of all its 58,000 miles of
Secondary facilities. This num
r bering system was instilled to
j increase efficiency of' record
, keeping and to direct motorists
! along a given Secondary Road,
even though there may be sev
-1 eral intersections along the route.
| These road numbers are now
being placed on the regular
county highway maps to aid
both rural road residents and
| the State Highway Department
' in identifying road facilTfies in
[ any county when requests are
made or when correspondence is
received relative to the-eoads.
“We think the road' number
ing policy is the most efficient
method of keeping track of the
many hundreds of individual
roads in each county,” said Mr.
Swain, "but we do not think
they should replace the old fa
miliar local road names which
have been assigned to them over
the years.”

Information Confiden
tial and Helps Carry,
Out Farm Programs {
All landowners having five
more acres are urged to cooper
ate with their county ‘ officials
and township listers by making
their crop report during the Jan
uary listing period. The reports
made by farmers through the
annual Farm Census enables ag
ricultural workers at all levels
to prepare and carry out effec
tive farm programs which are in
the interest of the farmer’s wel
fare. The collection of the in
dividual reports is most import
ant—and the farmer is the key
to the situation—for the results
obtained can be no better than
the information given by the
fanner in his crop report.
Although in most counties the
farmers made their report to the
township tax listers, the law pro
hibits the use of this informa
tion in any way as a check
against-the farmer’s personal and
property taxes. The information
reported by farmers is kept
strictly confidential and is avail
able only to the landowner who
makes the report.
Farmers can save time both for
themselves and the listers by
making some notes in advance
as to: (15 How they used their
total farmland acreage in I 960;
(2) Acres of each crop harvested.
during I 960; (3) Numbers of |
brood sows, milk cows, beef
cows, and hens and pullets as of i
January 1, 1961.
