A DELIGHTFUL TOUR Franklin County Farmers Make Tour of County To Inspect Soli Conservation Work On Friday, July 10, about 300 farUeri from every section of Franklin County met In the va cant lot between 'the Postofflce building and Allen's Stablea to atart a tour through Louisburg, Harris, Youngsville and Frank linton Townships to inspect work done by the Soil Conservation Service, located at Frankllnton, and also work done by the Franklin County Soil Erosion Club. The trip was sponsored by the Franklin County Farmers Club and the Franklin County Mutual Soil Conservation Association, In corporated. The Soil Conserva tion Service in Franklinton fur nished transportation for about half of the party that made the trip. The farms visited were those bf Dr. W. R. Bass. J. H. Fuller. R. M. Woodlief. J. D. Alford, W. T. Moss, Stephen Winston, and Smith Brothers. Members of the technical stair of the Soil Conservation Service at Frank linton were called upon by Coun ty Agent Morgan to explain to the farmers the different Jobs on each farm and to give reasons for using that particular practice on that farm. The principal things noted oil this trip were crop rotations as they are being practiced on the farms this year; terraces built by both Martin Ditches and tractor and grader operated by the Franklin County Soil Conservation Association; ? different types of outlet dltcheB and diversion ditches. All of thiB work, of course, has not proved completely satisfactory. Everyone understood that the work is in ' the experimental stage and prac ? tlcally every method used In the [ country for controlling erosion is being practiced in some place in the Franklin County Area, and the practices proved most satis factory this year will be the prac tices that will be adopted on the farms in the ruture. The staff from Franklinton, along with the County Agent, attempted to make individual explanations on all Jobs on which questions were asked. The party left Louisburg at 9 o'clock and stopped at farms long enough to see for themselves the thlnga, that are being done oh each Individual farm. Two In teresting projects studied on the trip were the Forestry Thinning' Projects on the farms of M. H. Hunt and Smith Brothers, and Gulley Control Project on the! farm of Mr. Stephen Winston. These two problems are of great importance to the farmers in this County and they seemed to be very much Interested In the re sults these men have already ob tained In the few months that they have been started. One of the most interesting?stops made on the trip was on the farm of Mr. W. T. Moss. At this stop Mr. Clifton Winston, Vocational: Teacher at Franklinton High School, gave a history of the livestock practices followed by Mr. Moss in the last several years. Mr. Moss showed his breeding stock to those in attendance. Mr. Q. L. Winchester made an ex planation of the cropping system and crop rotations practiced by Mr. Moss on his farm. The schedule called for the completion of the morning trip to be at one o'clock at Franklin ton.

Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, who ran more than 50,000 votes behind Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, in the run-off Democratic gubernatorial primary of July 4, asked the State Board of Elections today immediately I to "direct and conduct a full in- . vestigation" of the voting "to the end that the nominees ot the Democratic party may be declar ed on the basis of the majority of legal honest and valid votes cast." The board certified the results of the contest for secretary of state declaring Thad A. Eure, of Wlnton, the nominee over the Incumbent Stacey W. Wade. ' Paul D. Grady, of Kenly, who trailed W. P. Horton, of Pltts boro, by some 8,000 votes in the contest for Lieutenant Governor objected to immediate certifica tion of the nominee in that race and said he wished to "make a statement" at the proper time. McDonald presented a 14-page petition alleging irregularities reading It personally to the board. He pointed out the pow er of the board to make summary investigations of primaries and elections. ? Describing himself in the petti tion as "a. Democrat first, last and ayways whose interest in tho party and in the state is founded upon the desire to serve and strengthen the party and the state rather than upon reward' or ex pectation of reward". McDon ald said the "irregularities. , ille galities and violations of the elec tion law in connection with the recent Democratic primary elec tions" were "so"-*'Tiumerou8. 30 widespread and so fundamental as to endanger both the integrity of the Democratic party and the welfare of the state." McDonald said the candidacies of Hoey and Horton "appear to. have been the beneficaries of the great majority" to the irregular ities he cited. In particular some of McDon ald's allegations were: X ? There was ballot box stuf fing in Wake and a Madison coun-~ ty precinct on July 4 and in a Cleveland county precinct June 6th, in the first prlttary. 2 ? Illegal ballot botes were used In Clay and Yancey coun ties. 3 ? Illegal voting places were used In Cleveland, Yancey and Clay counties. 4 ? Voters were Intimidated in Clay, Forsyth and Alamance counties. 5 ? Persons not citlxens of the county were allowed to vote In Yancey. 8 ? Illegal activities were car ried on at the polling places In Cleveland, Yancey, Rowan and Forsyth counties. 7 ? Voting by proxy was allow ed In Clay county. 8 ? An election official in Sur ry tried to throw aWa j ballots be fore they were counted. 9 ? The total vote was unreas onably large In Dare, Clay, Cleve land, Henderson and other coun ties including Polk. Rutherford, Alexander, Buncombe, Burke, Madison and Swain. 10 ? Absentee ballots were not properly posted In Yancey and ! Rowan counties. ? 11? Absentee ballots in many counties were not supported by valid affidavits. 12 ? Names of absentee voters were not reported by officers In Forsyth, Buncombe, Wake, Row an, Guilford, Tancey, Madison and other counties. 13 ? Absentee ballots were vot ed by persons neither sick or ab sent from the,.county on election day taJCancey. 'Rowan and Mont gomery counties. In most Instances after citing alleged specific instances of Irreg ularities McDonald added "full extent of illegality nnknown; can be revealed oply by investiga tions." Union County farm poultry flocks were never in such good shape and each of them is pay ing a small profit. Subscribe to the Franklin Tlmsa
