Clover, Fescue With Liming And Fertilization Make Excellent Pasture An example of what ladino clover and tall fescue will do is found on the farm of Lee. Jake and Carrol Brown of Andrews. All but the most faithful ladino enthusiasts vvill probable refuse to believe this story, but it is true, says the coun ty agent's office During the second week in April forty pigs averaging 65 i>ounds each, thirteen 200-pound hogs and three big sows were put on a 1 1 -i rcrc field of ladino clover and fes cue. Three weeks ago the 13 market hogs were sold and five adult beef cattle were put in the pasture These 55 hogs and 5 cattle have not overgrazed the pasture yet. It still appears to fumisih good grazing as long as it gets sufficient rain. Admittedly, this pasture per formance would not be possible without proper liming and fertili sation. This pasture was fertilized ! according to Experiment Station recommendations when it was seeded a year ago. Mrs. Ruby Tanner Has Poem In New Publication Mrs. Ruby Tanner. Rt. 2.

IIOOI) Commissioner of Ranks There are two dates in my mind - which are closely related to the j economic upsurge and the future destiny of our State; one date re- 1 lates to public schools, the other J date to public roads. Education and transportation always yield a high rate in econo mic prosperity. The first date is January 15, 2901. On that date Governor Charles B. Aycock was inaugurat ed. At thait time good schools and good roads were practically un- 1 known in North Carolina. The chil dren of more than 950 school dis tricts were altogether wiftihout school bouses; while those in 1132 districts sat on rough pine boards in log houses clinked wiitih day. The schools were keprt open only 73 days In the year and lew tihan cnc-4ihird of the children of sdhooJ age attended them The average J f annual salary puid to county super intendents was less than $1.00 a c*ay and a public school teacher received an average annual salary ol $91.25 Governor Aycock led a move ment to make public schools avail able to every child of school age in our Stale and a school house was erected for each day of the four years that he served as Gover nor. The General Assembly otf 1901 made the first appropriation of $100,000.00 from State funds for school purposes and appropriations for this purpose have constantly been increased since that time. The second date was March 3. 1921, the date that tihe fiirst State Highway ball was raitified and $50,000,000.00 of State bonds were aufthorized. The sale of these bonds covered a period of four years. The last sale was made on Ibnutry 1, 1925. The interest rate j was from 4 1 to 5r', and the an . nual interest charge on the total r mount of the bonds amounted to ! S2.282.138 00. A great many people have asked me if the present economic situa tion would justify the issuance of I S200.000.000 00 in road bonds and ? S25.000.000 00 in school building bonds: and after very extensive study. I have reached the conclu sion that the answer is "yes". One of the real problems of the Advisory Budget Commission and the General Assembly was the re lationship of taxation to earned income: in other words, it is ad milted that additional public ser vices are needed and that the in come of our people must be in creased if they are bo be rendered. The United States Chamber of Commerce, a very conservative organization, has shown from re ipoarah that spending for education (Continued on pare 4) County Gets $1,478,000 For Hoads, $378,843 For School If Issues Pass ?

The Andrews ele mentary teachers and principal made 1.100 visits in the homes of the 900 sehool children during the 1948-49 school term Many of the teachers visited every home repre sented in tiheir classrooms.

Sii.v.iki the measure pass Cher 1 County would be allocated S'17'\843 for school buildings and $1,478,000 for road building S liool md road bond bills pass id by the 1949 General Assembly ;:1 locate those amounts to be spent in the county, provided that the people authorize the issuance. For school building Cherokee would get $250,000 as its equal share of a $25,000,000 appropria tion by the General Assembly plus $128,843 as its per-pupil share of the proceeds from the school bonds. The per-pupil sthare established by the General Assembly*is determin ed on the basis of the 1947-48 daily membbership. The amount that would be spent in the county for road building, if issuance of the bonds is favor ed. is set forth exactly in the road bond bill.
