Pafire Two THE PILOT, a Paper With Chaiftcter, Aberdeen, North Caronna Friday, Novembsr 15, 192.9 Judge Way Exhibits Orchids at Atlanta Further Extensions to Plant at Knollwood Now Under Construction Judge "vVilliam A. Wav is off this "week with a collection of orchids in finest blossom which he is taking to Atlanta to exhibit before the South eastern Florists’ Association at its annual fall gatherin?*. During the early fall a delegation of membzrs from this association came up to Knollwood to look over the Way es tablishment and went away enthusia stic over the big plant. One of the results of that visit is the call for a good exhibit of his flowering plants at the Atlanta meeting, as his green houses are • becoming the accepted source of supply for orchids through out much of the South. The discovery that he is able to supply flowers at all seasons of the year and in such quantities as are demanded has led to a big demand for further product. When the committee was at his plant a short time ago he was build ing; a new unit for the housing of the younger plants. Before he had com pleted that he found that he had al ready its capacity, and is now engaged in another large building which is in the hanfs of Lloyd & Burnham. It measures 40 by 75 feet, and for a greenhouse is unsual in its width. It is somewhat of an experiment, as the favored dimensions have been long and narrow. But if this one works out as hoped it will be made longer. If it should be disappointing two narrow buildings will ba added to the end for further room. Other plans for erlargement are already in consideration,- one being the immediate construction of a big steel smoke stack to psrmit the en larging of the heating plant to meet the calls of the growing institution. The fortunate feature of the affair is that the flower crop increases steadily as i)iore new plants come into bearing, and all winter long big daily ship ments will be going out in all directions. WORK PROGRESSES RAPIDLY ON WATSON DEVELOPMENT “When you think of Printing think of The Pilot. Advertise in The Pilot for results. In the hands of H. W. Reutershan, managing engineer for the Harris- hviTg concern of Gannett, Seelye & Fleming, the Watson project on the urpsr waters of Aberdeen creek is rapidly coming along. The dam on the road from the Sugg farm to Vina Vista has its main embankment almost finished, which when done will hold a level of water to back up the two streams nearly a mile. The head at the breast of the dam will be about twenty feet, affording a good depth ever most of the pond. The con struction has reached the point where the work shows its purpose, and it outlines now in its development a more ambitious plan than most people susprcted. A cement spillway with a broad rock floor to carry away sur plus water, and with a novel bridge built of cypress logs for framing, will present an interesting factor, afford ing easy access from one bank to the other. Up the streams the beaches are taking shape. They will be roomy and long, cleared from rubbish, covered with sand, and fronting a clean area of water that will be approachable at all times. Clearing has continued so far that the two valleys are outlined distinctly now for most of their course. The pin' forests that come down to the creek banks have been trimmed out so they are open and inviting. Mr. Waston has not publicly signified his plans fo’’ the property but it is evident tha*^ when he gets through with th3 work i.ow in hand he is going to show no' only an interesting addition to the ■I’evelopment of the several hundred acres in his neighborhood, but he wiV have one of the attractive spots of the Sandhills community. BIG INCREASE IN REVENUE FROM HUNTING LICENSF Collections from the sale of hunt ing licenses have passed by $5,000 th receipts on the same dates last ye**^ Col. J. W. Harrelson, director of tV' Department of Conservation and D? velopment, announced. “Reports from over the Stat? in cicate this year that there is more game than has been seen for the "ast 15 years,” Colonel Harrelson ra^^' “The larger sale of licenses is evi dently a refhcticn of the great svn- ply of game, which creates a - esire for more hunters to go to the fi:ld.” SELL 5,927 NEW CARS IN STATE IN OCTOBER A total of 5,927 new cars were sold in North Carolina last month, accord ing to figures announced by Sprague Silver, head of the motor vehicle bu reau of the State Department of Rev enue. There were 2,686 Fords and 1,747 Chevrolets included in the sales which were approximately 1,200 smal ler than tTiose for September.
