DANBURY REPORTER Volume L. ASKING FOR IMPORTANT ROAD Citizens Want Highway Lead ing From Hartman To Dillard Section—Two Routes For the Road Are Proposed. In going from the Hartman section to the Dillard section, or vice versa, citizens are compelled to go either by Pine Hall or Sandy Ridge, both routes being a number of miles farther, and the people of the communities interested are this week circula ting petitions to the County High way Commission asking that a road be constructed from Hart man to coi.nect with the Pine Hall-Sandy Ridge road at a point near Dillard. There are two petitions being circulated asking for the road, one asking that the route byway of Sheppard's mill be adopted and the other favoring the route byway of the Phillips place. The highway commission will meet here Monday and the matter may be brought to their attention at that time, though it is not likely that definite action will be taken, as the Board recently an nounced that before deciding upon the location of any more roads they would visit the several communities in person and in spect the routes fur themselves. The time for the beginning of this inspection was set - for May 10th. ' Co-Ops Speak Good Word For Newspapers Every member of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Associ ation should be a subscriber to his home newspaper. There is no person more interested in the welfare of the farmer or more likely to do everything possible to enhance that welfare than the editor of your county paper. The Tri-State Tobacco Grower will tell you each month what is going on in the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association. Your county paper, however, will tell you every week what is going on in the county and the country, and you ought to know that. Generally, the information the .farmer obtains from his local paper in a week is worth the cost I for the whole year. Subscribe for your county paper and keep your (subscription paid up. You owe that much to your local civic pride, and you certainly owe it to your ■•utinrv . editors, who have been yoi.r * -st fiiends. —Tri-State Tob.

The importance of the eradica tion of tuberculosis in cattle was impressively demonstrated on Thursday of last week on the farm of W. T. Dunlap, in Beaver Island township. Stokes county, i Post mortem examinations were conducted by the veterinarians engaged in this work, upon ten of the thirteen animals which recently reacted to the tuberculin test and the plainly apparent ■ ravages of the disease which were exhibited in the internal organs of these animals will long be remembered by those citizens who were present to witness the examinations. It is indeed fortunate that the milk from these badly infected animals had not been used by Mr. Dunlao's family and that the tuberculin test was applied in time to prevent the infection of any of the members of the family. For peveral years Mr. Dunlap has been making an effort to produce a better grade of cattle on his farm and with this object in view, he and two of his neigh bors purchased an imported bull three or four years ago which was ki pt on Mr. Dunlap's farm. The bull died during December of last year and had never re ceived a tuberculin test, but it is supposed that this animal brought the infection to the pre mises which was eventually to destroy the entire herd, and pos sibly spread the infection to other parts of the county. At the time Mr. Dunlap's herd was tested it contained sixteen animals and all but three of them reacted to the test and it '> doubt ful whether or not these three will remain healthy after having associated with those which were in the advanced stages of the disease. The wisdom of the Stokes county commissioners is to be commended in providing county funds sufficient to secure the aid | of the State Department of Agri culture and the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry in this work, as these departments will re imburse the owner for those ani mals which are condemned for tuberculosis. Every county in the state should follow the ex ample of Stokes and the twenty ! one other counties which are now actively engaged in this work, as it is only through the complete eradication of tuberculosis that cattle raising can be placed on a sound basis and a safe milk sup ply secured for our children. ' James Booth, of Moore's Springs, was among the visitors here Monday, E. R. Nelson, a fine tobacco grower of the Piedmont Springs section, was in town Monday. Danbury, N.
