each plot mast be at least one
dare and not orer ten acres, Mr.
Holier said. Those who plant
trees will be gtren credit for soil

soil ieonserration program.
In this connection Mr. Holler
pointed oat that many farmers
each year spend money for posts,
lumber and for fuel which they
J j^nld be producing on waste
puts, much of which are already
badly eroded.
The state forest nursery will
furnish all leading variety of pine
and locust seedlings at the low
cost of only |S per thousand and
.25 cents for shipping charges.
Black walnut seedlings are fur
nished for $10 per thousand. Nor
way Spruce, Scotch Pin© and Red
Oak are flemished at $3 per
thousand.
One thousand seedlings will
plant an acre according to re-
wnirements for compensation
r -feder the soil conservation pro-
pother attractive feature of
dethonstraMon forest plan,
«.HbUer skid, is the fact the
camp members will do the
.work—^plant the trees—and the
Only cost to the landowner is the
purchase of seedlings, many of
which can be purchased with the
soil conserving allowance paid by
the soil conservation program of
the national government.
4 Those Interested in planting
trees are asked to see Mr. Holler
at the office of the county agent

With eager anticipation show
ing all over their faces 390
youths gathered at the court-
j house in Wilkesboro yesterday
for enlistment in C. C. Camps
throughout the state.
The 340 whites and 50 colored
from Wilkes, Ashe, Alleghany
Alexander, Caldwell, Surry, Wa
tauga and Yadkin counties were
examined by army officers and
dispatched to the various camps.
Quotas were assigned to the
various counties a few weeks ago
but during the last few days
welfare officers in this section
received the news that larger
numbers could be accepted be
cause some countlee did not have
enough applications to fill their
quotas.
Yesterday’s was the largest
single enrollment for C. C.
Camps in two years, due in part,
officials said, to release of pres
ent members of the camps who
have reached the age of 24 and
to fill vacancies caused by many
youths In th© camps finding priv
ate employment.
The officers here yesterday to
enroll the large corps of young
men were Lieutenant Hazelwood,
in charge, and Captain Byerly, of
Fort Bragg, and T. C. Grier, sup
erintendent of the CCO selection
division of the ataU> department
of welfare.
More than 10(T land owners
and other interested parties are
expected to gather at the federal
bnilding in Wilkesboro on Fri
day, October 22, to hear from

The interested parties are own
ers of the 7,000 acres of land in
southern Alleghany and northern
Wilkes where the Bluff Park is
being constructed as the out
standing wayside park on the
Blue Ridge parkway in this sec
tion of the state.
Condemnation proce e d 1 n g 8

court Is entirelx,;a mat
ter Instituted fof the 'iTOle purpose
of making It poaaftle'that the

The WPA project to erect a
school building in Wilkesboro to
supplement the present bniiding
may get under way within a few
weeks, it was learned today from
district WPA engineers here.
News that the state WPA ad
ministration has consented to go
ahead with the project will ..be
received with satisfaction by tbO
many frisnds of the large school,
school officials and others inter
ested in providing relief from the
crowded conditions brought a-
bout by lack of building facili
ties.
The project was driayed for
some time due to Ijhe fact that
the county did npf provide suf

tfutlon that the county'will, pro
vide its^share of the cost.
The rompleted plant vhll cost
about $36,000, of which the
county’s part is about two-thirds.
The county now .has funds avail
able for about half its share of
the cost.
The project has been given ap
proval, it is understood, and will
be started some time in Novem

Not Being Tried
Before Referee
Plaintiff Does Not Put Up
Money; Counsel Says
Bond Covers Cost
Almost one year after the elec-
tlojyT|#{ which the contest origi
nated, the quo warranto case in
which D. B. Swaringen, Republi
can, Is suing Leet Poplin, Dem
ocrat, for title to office as a
member of the Wilkes county
board of commissioners is still
Iiending in the courts.
O. 0. Bfird, Judge of Forsyth
county court w.ho was appointed
referee of the case by Superior-
r.nnrL -lndge Glimeat. Set
" ^' dato' for
:£en|Ihg tO’ (begin in Wilkesboro
h^'demafided that each side of
the case' post $250 each to ap
ply on referee fees. Poplin com
plied with the request.
Attorneys for Swaringen took
the position that the bond in the
case should cover the cost, in
cluding the referee’s compensa
tion, and did not put up the cash
deposit as demanded by Judge
Efird.
Commenting on the status of
the case. Attorney C. G. Gllreath,
of the Swaringen counsel, said
that Swaringen filled bond in the
sum of $1,000 at the beginning
of the suit and that the plaintiff
is willing to increase the bond if
the court sees fit.
He further stated that Poplin
filled the usual cost bond of
$200 and that the cost bill al
ready incurred is $598.47.
Motions in the case to increase
the bond of either or both parties
can only be made before the ref
eree and cannot be made before
him until he begins hearing the
matter, which it is understood
th© referee has refused to do un
less his demands for $250 from
the plaintiff are filled, the at
torney said.
'The case has as its principal
foundation the allegation that the
returns from Rock Creek town
ship in the November, 1936, elec
tion credited Swaringen with 100
votes less than he received, re
sulting In Poplin being certified
as the winner of the election by
a majority of two votes in a total
vote approximating 15,000 in the
county.

Flood on the Yadkin and ita
tributaries In Wllkee and Yadldba
counties Tuesday caused damage
estimated at several hundred
thousand dollars.
■Rains of cloudburst propor
tions Monday night and until tea
a. m. Tuesday caused the highest
waters on the Yadkin since 1929,
lacking only ten Inchee of reach
ing the high water mark of that
year.
Four Inches of rain fell hero
Monday night.
The river rose rapidly Tuesday
morning and continued to rise
until it reached Its swollen crest
at flv© o’clock Tuesday.
A halt million ■bushels of Coni
along the Yadkin valley in
Wilkes, Just ready for harveaL
was about fifty per cent flooded.
Much ot the corn was damaged
to such an extent that it will be
unfit for market us© or for feed.
In some of the lowlylng bottom
land the com was completely de
stroyed.
People who lived in the fertile
valley and within the high water
zone watched anxiously Tueeday
as the water rose steadily _ an*
the dear skies about noon-pre
sent's a most weleoiao sfi|
those'SwpIe'anrf the msnyr
ers (Who had labored h a^ *
through the summer to produce
a bumper corn crop, only to see
it flooded with muddy water.
The heavy rain was gentrsal
throughout northwestern Notlto
Carolina with heavy damage to
highways and roads reported.
Flooded streams curtailed trav
el over many of the leading comn-
ty roads but the only state high
way in this section blocked by
the waters was highway 268 be
tween Wllkeeboro and Ferguson,
which was flooded at the Mora
vian Creek bridge.
The flood interrupted the
school schedule at a number ot
larger schools. Roaring River
school was unable to operate
Tuesday because three buses wen
waterbound. Ronda school clooed
early in order that the childnst
might return to their homes be
fore the Yadkin cut off travel a-
cross the bridge at that poiat.
The Ferguson bus never reach
ed Wilkesboro school during tha
day and the Brushy Mountain
bus was returned at the end ot
th© first class period before Cab
creek flooded the road.
Highway section foremen pa-
troled th© roads and highways
all day Tuesday watching for
slides and other dangers.
Zeb Stewart, highway dlvtolon
engineer, said that the damaga* to
roads could not .be accurately
estimated until a complete’cheek
was made but that it would, tto
several thousand dollars was' a
foregone conclusion. Bridge ap
proaches and fills on dirt roada
wore most severely damaged, -itoh-
