LINCOL.NTON. N. C, MONDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 9. 192 J. 5 Cents Per Copy, $2.00 Per Tear. E STABLISBED 1876 FARM DEMON STRATION NOTES Meeting To Be Held In Interest Of Sweet Potato Storage Houses. A Letter has been received from the State Department of Agriculture to the effect that a representative of the Horticultural Department would visit this county at an early date. This representative will be an expert in the storage of, and the building of aweet potato storage houses. This representative will no doubt nave a model of the modern sweet po tato house as being recommended' by the department of sericulture. Meet ings will be held in those communities desiring to hear this matter discussed. We are anxious to get t least one of these storage houses built in the county this fall. There is such a great loss through the farmers being unable to save their potatoes. One farmer reports that he raised about 200 bu last vear, and lost about 150 bushels Potatoes stored according to the method recommended by the depart ment of agriculture have had less than a 3 per cent loss. The Community Sweet Potato Stor sage House. - The houses are not recommended for less than 500 bushells of potatoes. Very few of our farmers grow this amount of potatoes. The houses are being used with entire satisfaction by communities, or even some two or three farmers own a house coopera lively. Any community or individual who would like an engagement with the above representative should com municate with me at once bo that the time be spent in the county can be ar ranged. The date of his visit will be published within a shprt time. Beautifying Their Homegrounds Why not make rural life more satis fying? Hake home life just as at tractive as possible? With a little planning and very little expense our homes may be made more nome like. A few flowers here a few shrubs there a few roses, a green lawn, and well laid off drive and walk ways, will make our homes a happier place to live. Our boys and girls will get more out of life and will matin m tnem a greater appreciation of nature. In making improvement of the home mound, there are several facto which would determine the plan that would best suit the place. To know the location of the walk ways, the drive ways for cars, the location of flowers, shrubs, varity etc., so that the desire effect mieht be produced re wires the service of one who has studied this subject. The Department of Agriculture is always anxious to help the farmers with their problems. We have a de nartment which will assist in the beautification of the homegrounds and give lust such information as mentioned above. There are several in Lincoln county who have taken this matter up with the County Agent. Among these are Messrs Michael Lonhardt, uus Heav ner, Robert Long, Arthur Shuford Iron Hull. Perry Jonas, Levy Hallman and J. R. Gamble. Some of these plans have already been received and are being carried out as suggested. The other plans are expected from Washington most any time. I think that the services of this de partment is limited. Its object being to furnish these plans to a limited number to serve as demonstrations, but I will be glad to take the matter up with anyone who is interested. SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS WILL COVER STATE Isolated Counties Will Be Linked Up; Road To Traverse The Dismal Swamp. Raleigh correspondence of Friday tells of work mapped out by the highway commission at its meeting there last week. This work will con nect the forgetten provinces of both the northeastern part of the State and the mountain section with the State. It will not take a great deal of construction work to connect these counties with other counties which already have good roads, and which will put them in touch with the whole central section of North Carolina. The commission plans not only to build links of road that will bind the central highway into a long stretch of road traversing the central section of North Carolina, but it has also mapped out plans and approved pro jects which will put a road through the Dismal swamp through Gates county, with a bridge across the Cho wan river at Winton which will link up the whole northeastern section of the State. This bridge at Winton to gether with the one at Williamston which as already been constructed and in use, will handle an immenss traffic which is now pouring over the state line into Virgina. The central highway, of course, will handle more traffic than any other road in the State, and with the good roads and the highway commitsien will not take a great deal or money to finish up the link which will give North Carolina a fine road good in all weathers, through the heart of the State. In the western counties - projects have been aproveo for roads from Boone to Wilkesboro and down to Sparta, which will link up that sec tion of the State with Winston-Sa lem and thence to the Central high way. Uther projects have been ap proved lor the northwestern section which will tie up with these roads. Out beyond Asheville the commission has approved the construction of i road from Sylvia and into Clay coun ty, which will connect with the fine system of roads aorund Asheville. In the opinion of Governor Morrison these roads of a little over 50 miles will cost less than a million dollar? but will bring ten million dollars into the State in a few years time. Offering the bonds for sale was merely a formality , declares Gover nor Morrison, which had to be gone through with in compliance with the law. Money may be borrowed if the bonds are not sold, and the only way to comply with the law was to offer the bonds for sale. The money can be secured for the road work and for all of the oth building work the State has under way or under consid eration. It can and will be secured when it is needed and in amounts that are needed.

First of all the ownei -i tne repre sentative who lists his farm property for him should make a written n randdm for each of his farms, show ing on each the total tract area In eluding woods, then the cultivated acreage, then the acreage of each crop that he expects to harvest this year, whether or not harvested or planted at the time of listing. Each landlord should see that hin tenant prepares a memorandum of each crop and its acreage, for the ben efit of the landlord when making such report. If the tenant reports these to the tax lister independently, there will prOpably be a duplication in the araa reported by the owner, since the ten ant is usuallly unfamiliar with the boundary lines of the total tract allott ed to him. ThiB would make it more convenient and less confusing to the tax lister and farm owners alike. Our southern state have been slow breaker has taken charge of the situa tion.
