Need Attention
(Continued from Page 1)
I THOUGHT, so long as I may
not be able to send my boys to
college that a little travel through
this state might be helpful. And
wondering too, what was on the
other end of route 64, the route
that runs right on west from Ral
eigh, and clear out through the
end of the state, but which com
ing east, winds up in the Alliga-tor
River where a neglecteful admin
istrations have failed to build a
bridge, and where niggardly rep
resentation failed to build a
bridge, and where niggardly rep
resentation on the State Highway
Commission from our district, re
peatedly and offensively refuse to
hitch us on to North Carolina.
Route 64 Interesting
BUT ROUTE 64 is an interest
ing road, and I commend it to our
people in travelling west, if they
want to see interesting scenery.
For many people, a trip to Ashe
ville is the acme of mountain trav
el. But I have been over all of
the mountains, and take it from
me, one has just begun to reach
The Mountains, when he reaches
Asheville.
OF COURSE from Beaufort, to
start across the State, one would
travel Route 70, which would fin
ally take him to Knoxville, Tenn.
Or from Wilmington maybe No.
211. But our route, from Fort
Landing on the Alligator River
to Murphy in Cherokee County,
passing through 20 county seats
has more of interest by and large
than any other route through the
state. It takes you from the Lost
Colony country, through Colum
bia, Plymouth, Williamston, Tar
boro Rocky Mount and Raleigh.
From the State Capital, where
routes from Beaufort, Wilmington
and other parts of the state tie to
it, you may travel through Pitts
boro in Chatham County, Ashe
boro in Randolph County, Lexing
ton in Davidson, Mocksville in
Davie. Statesville in Iredell, Hick
ory in Catawba, and Morganton in
Burke, At Old Fort, a short link
of this road is not of first grade
but it turns southward to the beau
tiful Hendersonville section, pass-
ing through Bat Cave near chim
ney Rock, and then to Henderson
ville, Brevard, Franklin, Hayes-
ville and finally Murphy, the beau
tiful town in the mountains, west-
termost county seat of the state
IT IS ABOUT 670 miles of driv
ing from Manteo to Murphy. If
Alligator and Croatan were bridg
ed the distance would be reduced
by 60 miles.
SINCE BOTH EAST and west
thrive to great extent upon tour
ist business, it seems to me both
could profit by cooperation. Hence
I will start the ball rolling. Pes
sonally I enjoy the coast better,
but the thrilling grandeur of the
mountains the music of its chat
tering waterfalls and singing
streams, and the awe-inspiring
majesty of its gorges, are good
for a trip once a year, and will
give you something to keep your
mind off your business many days
at a stretch. While I drove long
hours in the mountains, and up
toilsome, winding roads, I never
once thought of the troubles
that fret me at home, nor did I
feel tired.
I WANT TO GO back next
year, and I want to take my peo
ple. The majesty of the mountains
is matched only by the seashore,
and I want to get the Western
folks to send their visitors on to
our section, just as I would send
ours on to see the mighty hills of
our beloved state. For tho wide
apart we are, and with many dif
ferent economic interests, yet we
are brothers all in the sharing of
the priceless heritage that nature
has showered upon us.
Indaim, Animals, Rattlers, Rocks
So now for some of the things
that thrilled the boys, Roger, go
ing on nine, and Frincis, going out
of his five, neither of which re
membered details of former visits.
The gigantic rocks caught their
fancy, and they wanted to get
samples to bring home. They
fretted to go up Chimney Rock,
that Natural monolith near Bat
Cave. Unfortunately, we had little
time and money. They charged $1
per person to witness this great
natural beauty at close range. It
is the same at Blowing Rock, and
at Mt. Mitchell, and many other
places in the wset In the east,
one finds the great sceinc attrac
tions free. There is Kill Devil Hills,
Cape Hatteras Seashore, Fort
Raleigh and Fort Macon, and Ocra-
coke and many other places, upon
which no private interests hold
lock and key to open at the clink
of your dollar. The only penalty
imposed on visitors to Dare Coun
ty is exacted by the commonwealth
which forces our citizens and visi
tors to pay tolls to enter in, while
boasting to the nation of the mag
nificence of our highways.
GENERALLY throughout the
mountains, one finds rugged hon
esty and courtesy that is delightful
to know. Folks take time to stop
an dtalk frankly, to ask questions
in return. We gaev rides to
mountain boys, they told us of
blockade liquor, of habits and cus
toms of the folks. We also found
a few of the kind that appears in
the east now and then, where they
charged us 30 cents for a ham
sandwich, and explaining they had
only a few weeks to make their
money, so they trimmed the tour
ist while the picking was good.
WE TURNED off the road at
Toxaway, and went to look for the
lake. A girl sitting on a fence by
the road said the dam broke 20
years ago and the lake had been
dry ever since. We almost got
stuck messing around after that
dead lake, but came out and found
the magnificent falls, chasing
merrily down the rocks into a
happy valley. We admired this a
long time. We had almost missed
their grandeur, where cars from
several states were parked, to look
for a dry lake bed.
WE HAD seen some of Tran
sylvania's beautiful lakes, and
once in the road we had stopped
the car to watch a young man bat
tle with a huge mountain rattler,
which he finally slayed with a
stone, as the snake attacked him.
We stopped under the great rock
where it overshadows the road,
and the waterfall leaping across
sprayed your car with drops of
crystal water. I reminded the boys
that in that deep hole under the
rock might be the home of fairies,
or of a giant, but the larger boy
who had been to school said he
didn't believe in either any more
and the smaller boy piped his own
Amen, as usual, to the elder.
WE CLIMBED up hills to nearly
4,000 feet high along this route,
where the trail winds snake-like
around mountain cliffs from
a few runner (or new plants,
while others make a large number.
Vaieties making many runners
should be allowed to spread into a
24-inch row.
When the new plants begin to
form, they should have an applica
tion of 5 pounds of a 5-7-5 ferti
lizer broadcast per 100 feet of
row, and worked in with a hoe.
While this is being done, the new
plants should be spaced to six in
ches apart in the plat row and not
allowed to take root in the mid
dles. All superflous plants should
be removed after the row has been
filled woith new plants.
More large berries can be pro
duced by keeping the plants from
becoming matted in the row, the
horticulturist said. He also rec
ommends equal parts of cotton
seed meal and nitrate of soda for
fertilization.
Strawberry plants shofcld ba
cultivated throughout the season
Weeds must be kept down in or
der that the new plants will not
be robbed of nutrient material.
Deep cultivation chould be avoid
ed since the root syste mof the
strawberry plant is shollow, Nis
vungor concluded.

BEAUFORT,
NORTH CAROLINA!:
whenc one may gianee downward
a thousand feet upon the tree
tops. We would stop anon to
hear the singing of the streams,
the chatter of the thin water rac
ing over the stones, or the mighty
roar of a waterfall. Such beau
tiful and dense and green forests
one doesn'e find in the east. Hard
woods make beautiful forests, and
these were magnificent with the
blossoming rhododendron, and the
delightful odors of the fir and bal
sam greeted the nostrils with a
glorious fragrance.
CLAY COUNTY, which in the
old days was compared to Dare
among the poor, shows signs of
progress. Hayesville, the tiny
county seat looks like it is boom
ing. The people are wholesome
and friendly.
AT ONK point we saw an ani
mal run across the road toward
the creek. It looked like a mink,
but we were told it was a arround
hog. Nearly all the way along the
route, a winding river follows,
flowing westward on its long
search for the Mississippi. The
final few miles of the drive into
Murphy is most interesting and
easy. The road declines, and
the grades are not so steep. And
whrn we rounded up at the beau
tiful Cherokee County courthouse
made from marble hewn out of the
native hills, we found the rWl
an hour later than ours, operating
unaer central standard time.
AT THE Regal Hotel we found
courtesy and good service. Meals
in the town are reasonable. The
hotel proprietor and his wife most
graciously inquired about Lost
Colony. They plan to come east
to see it.
THE LITTLE folks were tired
and we all went to bed to get an
early start next morning. Aftei
a delightful breakfast, we set
forth. We visited the marble
quarry nearby where a hole some
forty feet deep and a hundred feet
each way has yielded thousands of
tons of marble. Men were busy
drilling out blocks of stone as large
as a barn door and as deep as a
coal bin.
AT ONE END of the county on
leaving, we stopped and photo
graphed the boys looking westward
down a small valley. We drove
out the road from Topton, to view
the afeful Nantahala Gorge, one
of the most interesting views in
the state. We had seen a friendly
farmer plowing an oxen around tha
hillside and I photographed Capt.
Smith at the handles while the boys
looked on. We hastened on to
Bryson City and to Cherokee
where more than three thousand
Indian are wards of Uncle Sam.
Here the government schools edu
cate them, and they farm and fish,
and live like other natives, with
considerable governmental aid.
Souvenir stands do a thriving bus
iness. Indian sports attract many
tourists. In front of a store stood
an Indian named Tom Owl. He
was in full regalia. He gave the
boys his attention; they became
fast friends quickly. They were
photographed together beside a
bear, and another Indian. Tom
Owl demonstrated his great skill
with bow and arrow, and showed
the oldest boy how to hit the
mark. The little fellow created a
great uproar because I couldn't
spare him a dollar to buy a souve
nir bow and arrow. His grief was
tragic. We departed Tom Owl's
magnificence with great regret.
THERE WERE so many things
to see, and we had to hurry on.
We drove through the mountain
tunnel at Asheville, fed the 550
pound brown bear Sally on Choeo
late soda at Point Lookout, en
joyed the view, and saw many
another interesting sight. We
came down out of the mountains
quickly and travelling through
Marion, Morganton, Hickory, and
other towns arrived at Mooresville
in time for supper. And here be
gan a long recital to mother, and
grandparents by the boys, of the
marvels they had witnessed.
I HAD BEEN many times in the
mountains. I had seen about all
worth seeing, and didn't especial
ly care about going again. But
this trip was the best ever, and I
hope to go again. For the de
lightful experience of seeing the
hills through a child's eyes, to
watch them unfold before little
folks is entertaining as well as
instructive.
I DO NOT know of any greater
thrill than to see the mountains
with your onwn little one. I hop
that many another person may
have this experience soon, in his
own North Carolina.

RALEIGH, June 14 Now is
the time when you actually pro
duce the luscious red strawberries
you will harvest next year from
the plants you set out last fall or
this spring, advises H. R. Niswon
ger, horticulturist of the State
College Extension Service. Proper
spacing of the runner plants, to
gether with fertilization and cul
tivation, are highly important to
newly-set plants the first summer.
Niswonger recommends that a
narrow matted row, ranging in
width from 18 to 24 inches de
