All Buyers of Feed or Fer
lilizer Eligible To Partici
pate in Vote Friday of
This Week
-»
Eligible farmers will go to
eight polling places in this coun
ty Friday to participate in the
"Nickels for Know-How” refer
endum.
Foiling places announced eaTly
in August are: Agriculture Build
ing, Plymouth; Wade Hardison
Store, Roper; Mike Davenport
Garage, Creswell; J. C. Tarking
ton Store, Pleasant Grove; Harry
Barnes Store, Cherry; Wiley Rat
cliff Store, Wenona; Cedric Dav
enport Store, Mackeys Road; and
Jackson Store, Long Ridge Road.
Any person who buys feed or
fertilizer, regardless of age, is
eligible to vote. The idea behind
the “Nickels for Know-How” pro
gram is to add five cents per ton
to the cost of feed and fertilizer,
which is only one-fourth of a
cent per hundred pounds, to be
used to increase agricultural re
search and education. Funds al
ready collected have been used
to start 38 projects.
The program was first voted on
in 1951 when farmers overwhel
mingly voted the program in for
a three-year period. During that
time about $140,000 a year has
been raised and has enabled the
extension program to be greatly
strengthened and the people made
more conscious of the program.

Attention Called ]

By County Ranger J
Permit Must Be Secured To
Legally Start Brush Fires
Between Hours of 12 P.M.
And 4 P.M.
-» —
County Ranger S. F. Darden of
the North Carolina Division of
Forestry stated today that all per- £
sons who plan to bum their ditch
banks, hedgerows or fields should
remember that a major change
has been made in the State Brush
Burning Law. This brush burning
law became effective October 1
last year and will remain in ef
fect until June 1. The law which d
was rewritten by the 1953 State d
General Assembly makes it un- c
lawful for any persons, firm or y
corporation to start or cause to b
be started any fire or ignite any E
material in any of the woodlands
under protection of the State For- s
esf Service or within 500 feet of c
any such protected areas during (
thie hours starting at mid-night j
and ending at 4 p. m., without c
first securing a permit. j.
In other words, as the law now
reads, a person can burn between
4 p. m. and midnight without ob- j
taining a brush burning permit. ,
Permits are issued without any i
charge and may be easily obtain- j
ed, Ranger Darden pointed out. ^
No permits are necessary for C
brush and diebris burning if such }
burning is done within 100 feet r
of an occupied dwelling house. \
During periods of hazardous for- 1
est fire conditions the State For- J
ester is authorized under the new J
brush burning law to cancel all I
permits and prohibit the starting I
of any fires in any of the wood- 1
lands under the protection of the
State Department of Conserva- j
•ion and Development, Forestry (
D:vision. Ranger Darden pointed (
oui that this had been unneces
sary so far this year in Washing- <
ton County because most of the i
people in the county had been j
very cooperative and have taken <
