C.> THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1935. NUMBER 32 Soil Conservation Association To Be Formed Thursday Meeting Called For Thursday, MeXst The 8th In The Randolph Court House. Important Meet All Citizens Of Randolph Urged To Attend And Participate In This Vital Program Thursday afternoon, Augrust 8th, at 2-30 p. m., there will be a meeting, at the courthouse for the purpose of organizing a County Soil Conservation Association. This is necessary if we are to utilize the services of the CCC camp, which has been located in our county. Representatives of the ex tension service at Raleigh and also representatives from Dr. J. H. Stall ing’s office at High Point wijl be here to explain the nature of the work, and the need of a county or ganization if we are to benefit from this program. The majority of the farmers in the county interested in this work have the idea, that eventually every farm will be terraced, lime, fer tilizer furnished, and other things done without cost, just as has been done in the demonstration area around High Point. For this reason, very little attention has been given toward a county wide program. The soil conservation service, as set up by Congress, cannot terrace farms. This must be done by the farmers, themselves, through a coun ty soil conservation association. There are certain things that the soil con servations service can do. It is un derstood that CCC employees will be used part of the time in building terrace outlets, and doing certain otherwork that will make the terraces permanent. They will also do some work in connection with gully con trol, forestry planting and manage ment, and related projects. . The county commissioners are in accord with this program, and will cooperate in every way possible, but first it is up to the citizens to attend this meeting Thursday, and find out in detail, just how the county is ex pected to cooperate to make this fifty-fifty proposition work out for the benefit of all. ‘ Y ■ •' —• - ~' (Please turn to page Home On Betts St. Damaged By Fire Monday Afternoon Austin Delivery Truck Is Also Damaged By Fire, Shortly Before Noon, Wednesday Monday afternoon, Asheboro resi dents witnessed two fire alarms.
