Tennessee Valley Official Seeking To Assist Transylvania To ‘Assist Itself’ W. W. Landess. administrative as sistant in the agricultural division of the Tennessee Valley Authority, sp.ke here Friday morning to about, two hundred farmers and business men, explaining some phases of the| land use and conservation projects , that are being started in Transylva nia and other counties in the Ten nessee Valley watershed. An added feature of the meeting was music bv the string band known a; the FFA' Ramblers, members of the band being vocational agricul ture students at Brevard high school. No i»t pregram is being under taken by the TV A, the speaker said; rather the farmers are being urged to work together in community groups to bring out the best from the available natural assets. Mr. Landess, who has served a number of years as county agent in Shelby county, Tennessee, has made a close study of farming in European countries as well as in the agricul tural regions of the United States, and stressed the vital importance of conservation of the nature given fer tility of soils. He called for extreme care in cheeking soil erosion which he credited with robbing the fanner of thousands of dollars worth of pro duction each year. He cited authori * tative figures and displayed pictures j showing soil erosion carrying more fertlizer from the ground than could possibly be hauled back. The TV A is not planning to tell Transylvania county farmers how to run their farms; neither is the au thority wanting to operate as a dic tator here or in the other counties1 of the Tennessee river valley in which it is interested1. However, the author ity is interested, the speaker said, in seeing people progress through methods best suited to the individual community, and it is with this in view that the demonstration farms are to be set up in each section, these farms to be selected by the people of the community. Approved practices of conservation of the natural resources of the farm, plus such improvements that can be made or will come from the check in of waste or erosion and other sources will be carried out on the farms that are to be used as test places, and conclusive proof can then be shown to any farmer interested of the returns to be had from such a program. Following the meeting the visiting TV A official was shown over various sections of the county by Messrs Glazener and Maness. He was highly pleased with apparent fertility of much of the soils in the river valley. Will Arrest People For Chasing Fire Truck and Other Violations W People who follow the Brevard fire truck in. the future are very apt to get a fine or sentence on the streets if plans go through that were discussed at a meeting of the fire J department held Tuesday night at thr England Home. Not only is work of the firemen hindered by people crowding around the truck when there is a fire, it was pointed out by same of the vol unteer firemen, but the practice of many of the Brevard resident?' is be coming dangerous for both firemen i and citizens. The firemen plan to have arrested any persons speeding in cars behind the truck when it is answering an | alarm, and those who come within the block where a building is burning are, to bo arrested by the firemen them-1 selves, several of the firemen being j special policemen and vested with1 auth rity to make arrests and appear •os witnesses in court against viol-; at'trs. There is an ordinance on the town ■ books to the effect that any person ' hindering in any way, any fireman getting to a fire after the alarm has been sounded, by operating a vehicle or crowding into the streets, or any ___i HONOR ROLL The following subscribers have re- j newed since Wednesday of lost j week: W.
