j a good wood growth and a healthy

I orchards is good.

MIDLAND FARM ACREAGE SITES
The double-track hard-top, state
hig’hway, is the main automobile road.
But with it goes a bridle path.
The New Seals road to the Airport
and to Vass is a sand-clay road near Mid
land Farms.
The prospect is that Pennsylvania
avenue will be extended fro mSouthern
Pines through Midland Farms, giving
another broad sand-clay road.
From both of these roads other sand-
clay roads radiate in all directions, mak
ing this a horse paradise.
