ON THE MAIN LINE
One thing that is attracting the at
tention of outsiders toward Vass is
that the town is on the main line of
the Seaboard railroad and the main
line of the Capital highway. It is
easy to get in and out, and always
will be. The through traffic goes
this way, and the big trains and the
people who travel in automobiles. Lo
cation is a winning card always.

LAW REGARDING THRESHERS
The North Carolina Commissioner
of Agriculture announces, in co-op
eration with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, that the law requires
each thresher of grain to secure a
threshing license from the Register
of Deeds before operating. This
license is free—no cost for same.
In the same way that the operator
has to have a license, it is also neces
sary for each farmer to see that the
party threshing his grain has a li
cense. Each thresher must keep and
report the bushels threshed and the
acres from which the grain was har
vested.
All, thresher operators should at
once get their licenses, when a note
book for keeping the records required,
as well as the report sheets, will be
given them. These books are to be
retained permanently by the operators
for personal records. But at the
close of the threshing season or not
later than September 15th, a com
plete report up to that date must be
made to the Register of Deeds. The
thresher’s reports are not to be sent
to Raleigh, but to the Register of
Deeds of each county where the
threshing is done.
A word to the wise is: Operate
with a license and be sure the oper
ator is licensed. Failure for a thresh
er to report means $25.00 fine, altho
the license costs nothing—is free. The
records made will be a business
memoranda for reference in lafer
years and for making collections
from farmers.
The information is used as a check
on how much grain we produce and
where it is made. It is a good busi
ness and educational provision.
The difference between a good and
a bad reputation is that the former is
easily lost.—Greenville (S. C.) Pied
