Traditional Signs To Remain In Place Highway Department T o Maintain Road Names On Rural Roads Oifvficials of the State .Highway Department today repeated eaafli- er statements that traditional road name signs on rural Secon dary Roads will remain in place; Department officials said that in some areas, the public had thought that Secondary Road numbers were being assigned .to replace familiar local road Name signs. Thiis lis not at al the case, ac cording to Secondary Roads Of ficer John Swain. "We realize that many persons are accustom ed to using the familiar road names and all of the signs dis played on paddle-type, wooden markers will remain as they have always beem," said Swain. He added that the Highway Depart ment will continue to maintain and replace these road naime signs whenever they deteriorate through age or weather. At its December 28 meeting in Raleigh, the Highway Commission went a step further in regard to Secondary Road directional signs. Whenever a community or com munities are served by a Seconda ry Road and do not lie on the US or NC numbered system, large numbering signs will be installed, showing (both the Sccondai-y Road nuimlber and direction and mileage information to t'ne communities. Some 18 months ago, the High way Commission installed license plate type, black and white sigms, showing road numbers of all Its 58,000 miles of Secondary facili ties.

Corn is high in energy and by crushing the corn, cob and shuck, can cut down on the amount of roughage and thereby stretch it over a long er iperiod of time. Tne shuck and cab serve as a part roughage. The grain serves as a source of energy which is needed during the cold winter months. Mamty farmers have found that they can secure better buys on corn than hay. Some research has been donj on this problem. Here is the way figure what ear corn is compared with hay: When coats $20.00 a ton, you cam' $1.00 bushel for ear corn hay costs $30.00 a ton you up to $1.50 per bushel corn. The type of lives have to feed will be tor in figuring wVien y corn instead of hay. It is not wise to ed ear corn all rouighage. For this farmers shoufirf gat corn early and, rougViage for the CARE P :fo Co ipty dtpenJl .on' 'Work stock for thflilr source of power. These" awi mals treceive jvery little aitrtentiori during the winter months. When the spring opens up they are caHed on for heavy work, they must be in shape to do a days work. By giving the work ?tock some atten tion durinig the winter months, they will be more able to stand this heavy work load. Horses and mules need a balanced died for this purpose. Tneir feed can be bulky, as their digestive systems will utr tiilize more bulky feeds than other farm animals. Oats aire one of the beat feed for work stock, especi ally young animals. Oorn and a legume hay combination makes a good feed for work stock. They should receive reguilar sailt in win ter, as well as summer. If they BTe not allowed free choice to water, it 'should be provided regularly. Tractors are taking Che place of work stock on many farmaiin Madison County. However, on many other farms the work stock are stii'.il of great importance as a source of farm power, worfir f M ni 1 7 onseration District Men tat m UHion Trees Farmers cooperating with North Carolina's 43 soil conservation districts and others receiving as sistance from y. & Department of Agriculture's 'Soil Conservation Service has planted 198,284 acres, of about 102 million forest trees, SCS State Conservationist Rich ard M.
