The statement, issued after a con ference with Governor Lhrwghaus and representatives of the resort sec tions, was telegraphed to The Citizen by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, slate health, officer. It follows: ' “To clear up any misconception of facts ami that no injustices will be placed upon our camp, tourist and resort areas in North Carolina, which have been greatly prejudiced by re ports circulated, it seems proper to make the following statement: “While infantile paralysis has been quite prevalent in the east central section of our state, to date we have had only normal incidence in out western or mountainous areas arid in the costal region. “Recalling that North Carolina is a very long state, some <>50 miles long, the comparative isolation of the costal ami western or mountainous, areas from the abnormally affected i areas is quite manifest—they being seme 200 miles removed. “It is net. therefore, deemed nec- , essary or expedient to close or post pone any camp, mountain or coastal re-sort. It is reported to us that no applicants from affected areas are being rr have been admitted by tha camps. “Th" state board of health is keeping constant and daily check on this situation and accurate and de tailed information as to the exact lex-ation of cases will be constantly available and published.” 175 Boys Expected To Arrive Monday With 175 boys expected to arrive' at the Brevard CCC camp on Mon day of next week, work of the Con- j servation and Development depart-; ment in this county i? expected to he ] gotten underway at an early date.

Euson, head of the distribu tion of TVA phosphates, spent last Friday afternoon in the county dis cussing the TVA farm enlargement program for Transylvania. Mr. Eason was highly pleased' with the progress and interest being shown in the countv. While he was here he appro ved of the plan to store several car loads of the TVA phosphates in or der that the farmers desiring to take advantage of the program might not have to wait when their farms have been approved for phosphates. The TVA furnishes the phospha tes to the farmers free to b? used in soil building and soil conservation. Of course the farmers pay the freight, which amounts to around ?5.00 per ton, and agree to use the phosphates according to state experi ment recommendations. Farmers interested in having their farms included in the TVA demon stration list of farms should first make a pencil or ink drawing of their farms, showing the. different fields and what they plan to grow on these fields for the next three years. Phos phates can only be applied where there are soil building crops in the rotation, such as the vetches, soy beans, clovers and the like to be turned under for soil building or on meadows and pastures. When the sketch is finished bring or mail the plan to the county agent or assistant agent .They will then be discussed by the local committee and county agent and then mailed to the TVA officials for their approval. When the farm has been approved the farmer will '>e notified how much phosphate lie is entitled to use on his farm and instructions will be given on putting it out. As I stated in my article last week, it is an opportunity such as this county has not had before. Let us build our soils and pastures ns TVA plans and phosphates will help us to do it.
