If 3 WARRENT( Farmers Band Together And Buy Terracing Machine Undismayed by the county's refusal several months ago to underwrite the proposition to purchase a :erracing machine to be used over Warren county in protecting the and against erosion, a dozen or nore leading farmers of the county landed themselves together and nade the first payment on the pur:hase of the machinery and yesterlay afternoon a large group of invested farmers gathered at the lome of E. Hunter Pinnell to see ,he outfit work. The farmers whn made the origi lal payment on the equipment pay ;o much an hour for the time the nachinery is at work on their )roperty, and they will permit the erracing machine to be used by >ther farmers at a similar cost. What profits are made will be ap)lied to the purchase price of the 'quipment. The original investors are seeking 0 prove that the terracing majhinery will prove profitalbe from 1 financial standpoint before they igain endeavor to get the county 0 take over the equipment. A delegation, headed by County igent Bob Bright, appeared before he Board of County Commission rs about three mohths ago and ried to get the county to underwrite the proposition to purchase 1 terracing outfit, and members of he board at that time expressed heir willingness to do so provided i large enough number of landwners signed a petition agreeing o have a certain amount of land erraced. but there was some quesion as to whether those signing he petition were agreeing to pay or the work cr whether they were ust advocating terracing as a ounty project and the proposition ell through. ARMERS URGES TO USE TERRACING MACHINE By R. H. BRIGHT County Agent We have purchased a tractor and , terracer to be used in this county or terracing fend. The work will ' ? at., -r ttomiai* ie started on me lann ui nuum 'innell and all persons are invited o visit Mr. Pinnell's farm and see he unit in operation. All persons interested in having heir land terraced should file an .pplication immediately and the /ork will be done as fast as posible.
