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 ChrrsfniS^HSBRinspirations \aowii s jQUR SUGGESTION 4 ' TO YOU Before you decide for- Santa Claus look over our wide variety of Gifts SWEATERS ; SKIRTS : BLOUSES BAGS :• BELTS : GOLF CAPS STOLES : COSTUME‘JEWELRY SCARFS : tilNGERIE I Wellesley Bldg.

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.
