Need Seen For
Highway Funds
Wake County Senator Says Legis
lature Should Appropriate Ade
quate Amounts
Rocky Mount, Jan. 25. ? The
State Legislature Bhouid appro
priate highway funds in adequate
amounts, "as It does funds ... for
other purposes," and not leave "a
large artificial surplus to be kick
ed around like a political foot
ball," L. Y. Ballentine, of Ral
eigh and State Senator from Wake
County, told the District meeting
of the North Carolina Petroleum
Industries Committee here today.
"Recent press reports state that
during 1939 more than $7,000,000
extra from the road surplus was
made a valuable for road ftnprove
ment. Each time a part of this ar
tificial surplus was released for
the purpose for which it was in
tended, it was accompanied by of->
ficlal statements that sounded as
though the roads were receiving
a gift of extra money from some
source. As a matter of fact, all
thiB money was secured from tax
es on automobile owners and was
intended at the outset for road
purposes and it certainly is not a
surplus over what* should be spent
on our roads," Ballentine said.
"If the Legislature has appro
priated these highway taxes in
anything like the amount needed
to maintain and modernize our
roads, there would be no surplus,"
the Wake Senator declared.
Ballentine said that recent es
timates by the State Highway and
Public Works Department show
that $40,000,000 is needed imme
diately to put the public roads of
North Carolina in safe condition
to handle today's traffic.
"The motorists of this State
know what) our road needs are to
day. As long as the urgent need
for improvement exists, we need
no better reason for spending
every dollar of highway taxes for
road purposes," he declared.
Ballentine said that there is a
"crying need for widening hund
reds of our narrow roads and
bridges to reduce the appalling
loss of life and property on our
roads."
MAY HAVE TO CLOSE HANG
ING ROCK STATE PARK
Raleigh, Jan. 23. ? Hanging
Rock State Park, in Stokes Coun
ty, near Danbury, may remain
closed indefinitely and eventually
may have to be abandoned unless
something can be done to secure
for the state a small tract of land
needed for the entrance to Che
park, the Board of Conservation
and Development was told at its
recent meeting.
The Conservation Department
cannot buy the land needed, since
it has no funds available for that
purpose. Most of the land in t>he
park has been given to the Con
servation Department by Individ
dais in Forsyth and Stokes coun
ty.
Extensive development work
has been carried on In the park
during the last several years with
the understanding that* the Stokes
County Commissioners would ob
tain the needed additional land
and give it to the State. Until
this is done, the park cannot be
opened.

home water systems given by H.
M. Ellis, of State College, before
a Wilson County home demon

HERB'S THE DIFFERENCE
Railroads operate on their own
roadways, built and maintained
entirely by the railroads.
Out of evety dollar the rail
roads take In, real taxes for the
support of the government take
more than 9 cents, and roadways
on which to operate take 23%
cents ? a total of more than 32%
cents for roadways and taxes.
Highway Motor Carriers oper
ate'on public highways, built and
maintained by taxpayers.
Out of every dollar taken In by
the certified motor carriers who
report to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, about 7 % cents goes
for taxes of all sorts ? and this
represents all they pay for road
ways and taxes.

POTASH supplies are adequate. The
situation concerning this necessary
plant food is very different from that
brought about by the last war, when
this country was dependent upon im
portations which were suddenly and
completely terminated. During the in
tervening years, discovery of potash
deposits in this country has led to the
development of a domestic industry |
capable of expansion to meet the re- I
quirements of American farmers. (
Therefore, wherever profitable yield
and quality of crops demand plenty
of potash, the proper amount should
be used.
Consult your county agent or experiment station
about the fertility of your soil and what fertiliser
you should, use. See your fertiliser dealer. You
? will be surprised how little extra it costs to apply
enough potash to insure good yieldr arid high
quality. Write us for further information and
free literature on growing profitable crops.
