MORE ROADS ARE BEING ADDED TO THE STATE’S SYSTEM One of the best indications that the new state highway law, provid ing for state maintenance of all roads in the state, is proving popular with the people who use the roads is the number of requests received by the State Highway Commission at almost every meeting to take over additional roads that are not now on the county road maps and most of which were not under county maintenance before, according to Chairman E. B. Jeffress of the commission. The commission last week added 117.1 miles of roads to the county system out of 193.9 miles that were requested. Most of these roads, added to what were formerly the county system, are roads that have never been under pubic maintenance before, few of them ever having been maintained by the former county road mainte nance forces, Mr. Jeffress pointed out, so that the property owners of the roads formerly received no benefit from the road taxes they paid. Mecklenburg county has benefitted more than any other from the addi tion of mileage to state maintenance, with 42.5 5 miles added for state main tenance from a total of 43.95 miles requested. Gaston county had the sec ond largest amount added, with 10.65 miles out of 12.25 that was request ed. District engineers and maintenance superintendents ar.e constantly on the lookout for strips of road not now on the county maps for state mainte nance, Jeffress said. AH' these strips are investigated and surveyed and whenever warranted will be added tc the maintenance system. The 45.7 miles of road in Robeson county, an nounced as having been removed frorr the county map, were really not re moved but merely re-mapped, since the first maps were incorrect and it was necessary, to entirely re-map these 45.7 miles of road. Other counties which had addition al mileage added to their county sys tems for state maintenance this past week are as follows: Rowan, 6.8; Da vie, 1.7; Lee, 4.8; Orange, 7.3; Robe son, 3.1; Cabarrus, 2.7; Union, 7; Harnett, 6; Henderson, 1.1; Mont gomery, 1; Surry, 4; McDowell, 2.

Harvard Law School Opposes Prohibition Cambridge—Most students in the Harvard Law School favor a change in the prohibition law and also favor the Presidential nomination of Frank lin D. Roosevelt, results of a vote taken at Langdell and Austin halls re vealed. Five questions were asked the students, four dealing with the Eight eenth Amendment and the fifth with the nomination of Governor Roosevelt. The questions and votes follow: 1. Do you favor a change in the ex isting prohibition law Yes, 5 25; no, 16. 2. Do you favor repeal of the Eight eenth Amendment? Yes, 318; no, 206. 3. Do you favor modification of the Eighteenth Amendment? Yes, 3 30; no, 118. 4. Do you believe Congressional ac tion for a change in the Volstead act would be legal and effective? Yes, 3 09; no, 116. 5. Do you favor the Presidential nomination of Franklin D. Roosevelt? Yes, 314; no, 186. On the last question four students inserted votes for Alfred E. Smith and four for "Alfalfa Bill” Murray, Gov ernor of Oklahoma. Cash Crop Farming Faces Sad Future The outlook for cotton, tobacco, peanuts, early irish potatoes, and corn for grain is unfavorable for this year 1932; but, the prospect for fair prices for peaches, strawberries, poultry and live stock is good if too much expans ion is not made. "After studying the mass of data accumulated by the United .States Department of Agriculture and dis cussed at a gathering of southern economists and agricultural workers at Memphis, Tennessee, lately, we are convinced that North Carolina far mers must plan to reduce their cotton and tobacco acreage next season, and plan to further live-at-home until all home needs are met.” says Dean I. O. Schaub, director of agricultural ex tension at State College. "The cotton acreage must be reduced by 3 5 per cent and the tobacco acreage even more drastically. There is little in centive to expand the peanut acreage. Sweet potatoes should not be expanded above that of this year, and the early irish potato acreage should be reduced 35 per cent under this year to get a profit.” The director said the low prices of all feedstuff should be an encourage ment to steadily expand the livestock and poultry industry of the State. Not enough poultry and poultry products, dairy products, beef and mutton, and pork are being produced to meet the needs of the State at present. This is especially true of dairy products on a home basis. Corn, hay and other feed stuffs will not demand such profitable prices in the markets but will pay a profit when fed to livestock. The outloow for seeds is not any too bright but North Carolina needs a larger supply of cheap certified seeds which may be used to plant legumes for soil building, for hay and other purposes. Girls, 12, Saves Man From Enraged Bull San Angelo—Daphna Wagner, 12, beat off a maddened Hereford bull with only a small stick after the animal had knocksd down her70-year-olc! grandfather, W. H.

The claim notice was served on Mayor Paul C. Lindley shortly aft er noon. It had been expected. The mayor said the matter would be presented to the city council at the next meeting, Tuesday afternoon, November 17. Mr. and Mrs. Pemberton, the claimants, set forth that the South Greensboro sewage -disposal plant, adjacent to some of their farm land, is the direct cause of their dairy herd becoming infected with anthrax, a deadly bacterial disease which health authorities of the city, county, state and national governments joined forces to battle in recent months. The claim notice is regarded simply as the initial step of a suit which the Pembertons are expected to bring against the city in superior court, as it is scarcely anticipated that the city council will offer to settle the damage demand in view of previous negotia tions which tailed to completion.
