Farm Bureau Backing Research Fund More The North Carolina Farm Bu reau strongly recommends and urges that every eligible person to vote in the November 3rd. (Sat urday) election on “Nickels for Know How.” If this election carries it will mean that the users of feeds and fertilizers will pay,five (sc) cents extra per ton. This money will be used to pay additional agricultural research scientists and engineers to develop new and more effective methods of combating the ever increasing horde of insect pests and crop di sease against which the farmer must constantly be on the alert. Cost 50c per Year The average farmer will not have to pay more than about fifty (50c) cents per year to support this program it is truly “Nick els for Know How.” Without more agricultural re search, there is a great possibility that the insects and crop diseases will eventually win in their cease less struggle to destroy all profita ble agricultural productivity; So let’s all turn out and vote for “Nickels for Know How.” —Rodney McNabb Poles for White Way Set on Main Avenue The poles for the brilliant new lights to be used for Zebulon’s White Way are being erected this week by Carolina Power and Light Company on Arendell Avenue.
