Adopts Measures
Establishing Duties
And Powers of Group
Proof of the useful work being
done by the Citizens Advisory
Committee was clearly shown at
the meeting held at the town hall
Tuesday night. In the detailed re
ports of the subcommittees on the
town sewer system and police de
partment were evident the ex
tent to which this new group of
public-spirited citizens is working
for the town’s welfare and prog
ress.
Donald G. Case presided in the
absence of the chairman, John S.
Ruggles, with 12 members in at
tendance, and Mrs. Gladys Graves
as secretary. Town Manager Tom
Cunningham was also present.
Most important of the evening’s
work was consideration of the re
port of the sewer committtee,
William C. Darden, chairman.
Mr. Darden reported that he
and the city manager, with Capt
Paul S. Ward as adviser, had
(r ade a study of the whole ques
tion of sewer charges, including
consultations with the League of
Municipalities and the Institute of
Government and comparison of
systems in towns of similar size
to this one. The detailed report
which he presented covered four
pages of figures and comments
and a table of the present rates
charged a sampling of 100 cases
chosen at random and how, if the
recommendation proposed in the
rdport was adopted, their ^xes
and rates would be affected. Con-
clusiMi of the report was that the
system should be put on a self-
sustaining basis, the rate to be
estimated on the basis of water
tax paid Further recommenda
tions included the elimination of

sewer charges for those who are
not on the sewer lines. It is esti-
mated'that a considerable reduc
tion in property tax, which nov.'
carries some of the cost of the
sewer system, would be possible.
Mr. Darden’s report was accept
ed by the full committee and for
warded to the city council, being
placed on the docket at once by
the city manager at the request
of Mayor Clark, who had joined
the meeting as a visitor.
The report of the committee ap
pointed to study the police de
partment with the object of in
creasing the efficiency and wel
fare of the force was delivered by
the chairman, Dean S. Dorman.
It was tabled for the time being,
for further study and considera
tion. Mrs. Graves and J. T. Saun
ders are the other members of Mr.
Dorman’s committee.
The need to clarify the respon
sibilities and limitations of the
advisory committee was brought
up by Garland McPherson.
Mr. McPherson said that it had
been appointed on a rather infor
mal basis without by-laws and he
felt the role of the chairman and
the members and the constitution
of sub-committees and their pow
ers needed to be made more def
inite. After considerable discus
sion a motion was passed carry
ing out the recommendations of
those present.
The subcommittees, it was es
tablished, shall be the creatures of
the full advisory committee, and
the chairman and members of
subcommittees shall be appointed
by the chairman, with the approv
al Eind consent of the full commit-
t66.
It was further resolved that no
subcommittee shall be abolished
or changed without the affirma
tive vote of two thirds of the
members of the committee, ex
clusive of those on the committee
in question. The chairman of a
subcommittee shall appoint not
less than two or more than four
members of thje full committee to
serve with him, but may consult
with outside advisers at any time.
As a final motion it was resolved
that no subcommittee shall report
otherwise than to the advisory
committee.
Soil Sampling Not
Complicated, But
Pays Farmer Well
By E, H. GARRISON
Mooie County Farm Agent
Regardless of the crop or crops
you are planting, you should by
ail m.eans have a sample of the
soil taken and sent to Raleigh for
an analysis. Marvin Davis of Eu
reka did tnat last year and says
that this year’s tobacco crop was
one 01 his best, tie nas already
asked that we get samples again
ithis fall on the fields he intends
'to put into tobacco next year. '
Soil sampling is in no way con
nected witn root knot troubles
nor with black shank. 'We cannot
tell anything about these troubles
from a soil sample. The purpose
of the sample is to determine,
what the soil contains and what
should be added lor the particular
crop you are interested in grow
ing, especially if the crep needs
lime, boil 'testing will show up
all these things.
A pasture will require different
fertilizer than that for tobacco or
cotton. Why not adopt the fertili
zer to the crop you are growing?
I’m afraid that in a good many
cases we are spending money for
things we do not need and in oth
er cases leaving off things that
would pay us well.
It will pay you to think about
some of these things. Fertilize
your crop in accordance with the
needs of the plant. It will only
cost you a dime to get the iitior-
mation on your fields and this is
for pcstage. .
Getting the soil sample is not
a complicated job but one which
should be done right. Small
c mounts of the soil should be
taken from different areas in the
field and put into a small box for
shipping. If the soils in any field
vary, samples from each of the
types should be taken and a sep
arate listing made of these.
At our office in the courthouse
at Carthage, we have the soil
boxes, the shipping cartons and
all the necessary equipment to
take these samples. Right now we
are getting a good many requests
for help in getting samples. It
will be impossible for us to get all
the samples for the county. ’The
Soil Conservation folks are get
ting some of the sample's. So are
the Vocational Agriculture teach
ers and the veterans’ teachers.
If you want yours tested for the
1954 crop please get your request
in as soon as possible. Now is the
time of year to do this so that
you may have the information
any time you want to put in an
order for fertilizer.
