I This Saturday night marks the (Continued On Pace Five) 3te JBttiltj Jli'mrd DUNN, N. C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 18, 1953 By CARL CONNER Record Staff Writer M. P. Lee, 31 year old farmer of Coats, Route 1, says he finds farming more Interesting than manufac turing machinery although he holds one patent and has three pending for farm ma chines he has invented. Lee farms part of a large plan tation having around 150 acres of land and once operated by his fa ther. During the winter and off j season he invents machinery to make farming easier. “I started working on machines because my father had so many and had so much land to tend,” Lee said. He .added that he was al ways interested in finding easier ways to till the land and that led him to invent new machinery. (So far Lee has a patent on a stalk-cutter, and patents pentUr on a hiU sweep, stalk cutter-haM row combination, and a transplant ter that will fasten to any of the major tynes of tractors. Besides these, he has manufactured around a dozen other machines and tools that help to make farming easy. BEGAN IN 1940 Farmer Lee began working on his inventions In 1940, but for the first six years following he did not think about manufeaturing for the public. He did sell a fev' of the machines to his neighbors, how ever. But last yea- he nad six deal ers In five different towns selling a tobacco transplanter he invent ed and produced on his farm. They were sold in -Dunn, Ben«on. Zebu lon. Smlthfleld and Fayetteville. In addition to the transplanter, his hll’ sweep was sold in Dunn. Besides the machinery on which patents have been requested, Lee also has invented a tractor lift, a special tobacco trailer, a tractor bumner and several other attach ments for .tractors. All of his machinery .was con structed in a 104 by 30 house con .stmeted on his farm. Here, in the winter, four men work with him 'to produce machines to make farm ing easier. During the summer months, Lee . tends seven acres -of tobacco and about 30 acres of com and other feed crops. But as his machinery business grows, more and more o! the farm work is hired out. PLANS WINTER OUTPUT This week he is mapping plans for production thia winter of 100 transplanters. 100 stalk cutters, 150 tobacco trailers, and 500 hill sweeps And. in about two year. Lee hopes * n "°? t for fulltime manu- he^wld ff '*k“ to r buiw'rnev “ d 8 DOT i ‘ Mimr Hearing Slated At Lillington Friday At 11 Protests of Dunn business men will not cause /Highway! 301 to be moved or the funds to be diverted to an other project, Highway Chairman A. H. Graham and State Highway Engi neer W. H. Rogers, Jr., as serted today. Commenting on statements o f local citizens that the protest! might cause the project tot be moved to either highway I or 210, Gra ham stated that "the Highway Department doesn’t work that way.” However, he emphaized that the work will be done as promised. A three-man .committee of high way commissioners will hear the argument of Harnett County Com missioners and local businessmen at a meeting in the Lillington j courthouse Friday morning at 11 o’clock. As members of the com mittee, Graham has selected For-1 -est Lockey of Aberdeen, C. Heide Trask of Wilmington and H. May nard Hicks of Snow HUI. In a release from Raleigh, Gra ham stated that he took the pos ition that the hearing was prop erly requested and that the Pro testants have a right to speak. While the Commissioners will not say that the plans are going to be carried out as proposed, Oraham said; they do feel that they are sound. COULD BE DELAYED Should Dunn’s protest result In work being delayed in this area, Graham stated, the commissioners may be forced to let the contro versy simmer and concentrate on other sections of 301. Graham indicated that while the funds allotted to Dunn would not be taken away, they may be left in the total sum allotted to 301 while work on other parts of the highway are being completed. Some local officials feel that even if the protests should be withdrawn and the dew super highway built, the entrances to Dunn would make it inconvenient for tourists to turn off. The Highway Department even tually plans to develop a highway on the order of the big turnpike with broad 260-foot right-of-way, separating grade crossings, limited access restrictions and access roads The point of access is a major point of consideration in the pro test some businessmen feel. Graham pointed out that the type of road the federal agency has in mind cannot be run easily through towns and cities. And, that ■ is why tbe Commission must bypass M (Continued On Page Six) BULLETINS WASHINGTON (UP) The Weather Bureau said to day temperatures are expected to average above seasonal normals over most of the East during the next 30 d^ys.
