Southern Pinesand Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Seven Development of Pasture Lands In Moore County Is Possibility Mr. Butler Cites Instances Where This Has Been Done to Profit of Landowner School Loan Question Bion H. Butl<>r The Rural Rehabilitation organiza. tion is putting on a scheme in this section that gives a lot of promise if the people will take up with it. It has already made a good start in Chatham county, and it in clines to take in a good part of Moore —If the folks will fall in with it. It is putting cattle on the lands which the government will fence and hire for pasture purpose, bringing in cattle from the West where pasture has been ruined by the drouth. Pasturage is one of the shortcom ings of Moore county. The lack of pastures and of cattle leaves agricul ture in this county in the plight of the man with one leg and no crutch. Animal husbandry has been the basis of farming from the day when Jack served for a share in the stock with his old father-in-law, and grew rich out of the dicker. Cattle made the great West and the North and New England and New York, and any other place where the foot of the cow or the sheep has made its mark on the ground. The girls of Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Northwest get complexions out of the milk cans that all the box drugs of the beauty shop and the drug stores can not imitate, and the rcast beef of England has made a race of men, as did the black cattle of Scotland, that has to its credit the settlement and civilization and de velopment of a large proportion of the civilized world. Not Pasture Enough We have nothing like enough pas ture and cattle in Moore county, al though gradually pastures are com ing. Frank Cameron out on Beaver creek in the east side of the county, comes from a stock-growing father, and he has the idea of p.isiure in his head. He is running his stock on a sod that is encouraged to thicken and persist, and he is setting a good example. Leonard Tufts on his Little River bottoms is getting a good pas ture sod, and his cattlt sh->w what pasture will do. At the Olive dairy a sod is coming on cons'derab e uf the land, and there the cattle thrive. Caviness near Lakeview is niakmg a sod pasture, Mr.rvin Davi.i at Thag- ards is also showing what grass will do. The olJ Maik.s farm n.;>ir S.‘>uth. ern Pines has been running cattle on some of the fields ’here until it has formed a jiibstant'al sod and that shows what pasture will do. Sod Prevents Washing At the old Duncan Shaw farm the fields are packing solid under the hoofs of the grazing beaste and the picture of a bur..'h of stock in f.ie fields is o drtiight 'o look at. Ov^r at the Odive .lairy the sod consoli dating. and no longer washes away when a livel./ shi wer falls. S( d holds the land from washing, as well as supplying; a 1 vesfock income wht*n the table gets iesn. The Goldsmith farm is what cattle will do. Goats dnj cows there are not on.y pasturing on the land, but they are browsing down the weeds and the small undergrowth in the wilder land and subjugaMng it for future pasture uses and farm purposes ami paying for thni" ktop along with tho r work. In all quarters of this county are riv er and creek bottoms that ought to be in good pasture, feeding herds of cattle, and bringing prosperity to the farms and subsistence to the farm er. It used to be a delight to go down on the Horseshoe country in the Deep river valley and see the cattle and the pastures on the farms like Gra ham Tyson’s, Will Harrington’s, John Willcox’s, and others of those sub stantial inhabitants. I have not been up that way in a long time and don’t know what they doing there now, but from Carbonton to Drowning creek Moore county has creek and river bottoms that are the possibili ties of pastureland fanning. The details of the proposition I know nothing about. I don’t know whether this is a milk and butter country or not, although in my ear lier days we made at our place many hundreds of pounds of butter, which we sold in Southern Pines for the highest price all the time that was paid for any butter sold there. But newspaper work and butter making do not run tojrether. as a permanent line, and neitner will permit itself to be neglected in behalf of the other. But there is no doubt that if we can establish a pasture basis for Moore county It will be of inestima ble benefit, for before asking what we are to do with the cattle the an swer is ready. The home table will take care of a lot of meat and milk and butter, and if we had In this county as many cattle as some Ver- KEFLIES TO DR. DANIELS (Continued from page 3) invited children to come in from the county, but until about fifteen years ago most of them chargerl tuition. My reference to former special char ter districts was not directed at Southern Pines or Pinehurat, but to the old charter districts of the past, typical North Carolina towns and cities surrounded by agricultural communities. I did not make myself clear on this point, and thank the good doctor for calling my attention to the mistake. Conditions obtaining in most of tlu-se districts would not apply to Sout^’ern Pines, as it was a type different from the others get ting Its hudineas largely from outside the State. Pinehurst also received most of its trade from outside the state. Pinehurst has always operated as a rural school, ’ijwever, enjoyiog the sam> rights .ind privilege^ as other rur.ll schools tf the Stare. It certainly vV.is not alluded to in my article. It was a symbol and not a particular district that I had in mind. I am certainly sorry anyone has ! misunderstood any part of my state- ! ment. I wcukl much rather see the j whole proposition defeated than I adopted, if its adoption had to depend upon dishonest methods. None of the ! factf shall be withheld. Tf the propo- i sition cannot stand on its merits, it ougbt tr> be Jefeated. The doctor is also in error in his statement that more teachers will be hired if the bond issue pas.ses ana the new buildings erected. This would likely reduce the number of teachers, thereby reducing my salary. —H. LEE THOMAS, County Supt. of Schools.

Two or three of the right sort of cattle about a place will do a lot toward feeding the household, which saves money wheth er it brings any or not. The pasture question is one of great importance to this county. It is worth a stren uous effort for tis establishment, for cows are as good as money in the bank always. To Plan Fall and Winter Farnu Program Chatham. Lee and Moore Repre sentatives to Meet at San ford August 9th NCERA farm and garden super visors, case workers and Vocational Agriculture teachers will meet in Sanford, August 9, to formulate plans for a fall and winter farming pro- j gram under the Rural Rehabilitation * division of the NCERA, The meeting I ' was called by George Russ, State Di- i rector of Rural Rehabilitation, and I Roy H.
