Lninbeth * ?????????'?* Twenty-six farmer and agricul tural workers gathered at the C. P. Best farm last week to plow out kudzu crowns for transplant ing. These crowns were plowed out by Fab Watson who used his tractor and a three disk tiller plow with two of, the disks re moved. This method of plowing lifts the crowns out of the ground with very little damage to the root or bud. 9,12 crowns were picked up during the day by far mers who have planted them on eroded areas and steep hillsides for hay or pasture. Mr. Best was paid $3.00 per thousand for the crowns, which was very reason able considering the fact that they are selling for $12.00 when ordered from growers in Georgia and Mississippi. This method of obtaining crowns for planting seems to be the most logical for this county. Good crowns can be plowed out on one farm and planted on another before they have a chance to dry out to the point where they will not survive when planted. I? II W. L. McGhee of Frankllnton, has thoroughly disked three acres of old established kudzu this spring and now has it in shape for mowing later on. Mr. Mc Ghee Is so (Irmly convinced that kudzu is the best crop he can produce on his steeper hillsides, that he has just finished planting three more acre?. II? H A terrace construction demon stration was held On the Raymond Wood farm last Saturday. Mr. Wood built the terraces with his tractor and disk tiller plow and did a good job of it. The main purpose of the demonstration was 1 " to show that a good terrace meeting AAA specifications can be built with farm equipment. The AAA specification^ for 1944 say that "The spacing of terraces and the terrace grades must con form with standard requirements with due consideration being giv en to the slope of the land and thte types of soil. The terrace must have a minimum width of ridge of .12 feet, measured from the edge of the bank on the low er side' to the contour of the wa ter channel and a minimum height of ridge of at least 16 inches above the water channel before the ridge settles. The water channel should be at least 12 feet wide. The cross section of the water channel must be at least 6 square feet after the ridge settles." Payment for ter races built to these requirements is $1.00 per linear fept.

I CAMPAIGN ISSUES V In the coming Primary there are many im portant issues to be decided. Some of them are: 1. Shall we abolish the sales tax in these good times and use our surplus in maintaining our schools and raising the salaries of the State employees or shall we continue the sales tax and accumulate a nice nest egg to be used in assisting to rehabilitate our returning service men and women and to lighten our tax burdens when the hard times come again? 2. How long are the people of North Caro lina going to permit the "Gag Rule" to be used in our General Assembly? This is most important of all issues. (Gag Rule. When a law is introduced in the General Assembly it is immediately sent to a committe. If the committee approves it, it is then returned to the Senate and voted on by all of the Senators. .. If it is disapproved by the majority of the committee and there is no "Gag Rule," members of the committee who are in the minority and favor the bill can have it called upon the floor of the Senate and the Senate as a whole then has an opportunity to vote upon it. If the "Gag Rule" is applied, then those favoring the bill have no way of getting a vote by the Senate as a whole, except by a two-thirds majority of the entire Senate, and the public never knows how each Senator stands on the law. This is the way special in terests have certain laws defeated without the voters knowing how their reprtsentative stood on the question.) 3. Should a bill to raise the salaries of the courthouse officers be introduced in the Gen eral Assembly before it has been discussed with the County Commissioners? H. A. FAULKNER. POLITICAL GOSSIP Gossip says that telling the truth about a candidate's official record is throwing mud. If so, more mud should be thrown. Gossip says that since the ABC stores closed, Franklin County taxes have been reduced Look at your tax receipts and I think you will find this is true. Gossip says that Mr. Cherry is paying the expense of this column. That sounds good to me. Wish it were true. I believe Mr. Cherry is dry, but I hardly think he is dry enough to commit himself publicly. Gossip says we should .not submit a state wide referendum to the voters until our ser vice men and women have returned. If so, why should we have any election at all? Why not call off the primary and let all officers re main as they are until the war is over? % Gossip says that a whispering campaign has already started. Better not whisper too loud if you don't want it published in this column. NOTE: If you like this column and want to contribute to it's expenses, send yonr do nations to Mr. Charlie Hudson, Treasurer, Franklin County Dry Forces. |$ ' " ?' ' '? . * : i i v H. A.
