EDITORIAL
IT BUGS US TOO, BOB
Bob Terrell, able sports editor of The Asheville
Citizen, hit the proverbial nail on the head recently
when he wrote the following squib in his sports col
umn :
Something that bugs me: All around the South Atlantic
League baseball clubs motor from city to city on fine roads, most
of them four-lane UNTIL they start the stretch from Ashe
ville to Knoxville or vice versa. Then they hit that gosh-awful
stem-winding stretch of pavement that links our cities together.
Someday, someone will do something about it. But when?
There isn't a more important stretch of road in the land. As a
friend pointed out the other day, this highway is a pretty im
portant military road (or would be in case of international fire
works), but I would hate to try to move a great deal of troops
and supplies over it.
It's something to think about.
We add our "Amen" to the above.
If Madison County is to realize increased tour
ism, especially in Hot Springs and Marshall, better
roads must be built. With prospects bright for vast
improvements at Hot Springs, it is unthinkable that
this progressive town's dreams will ever be fully com
pleted unjess tourists and would-be residents are able
to get into and out of this area. Recreational, com
mercial and other inducements are important but the
MOST IMPORTANT step to be taken is BETTER
ROADS. This not only holds true for Hot Springs
but this entire section of the state.
We have understood that
oiiinar Dertaminjr to
Hot Springs to the Tennessee
l a. ; 1 j i .i
inis project is compieiea trie
the strip 01 heavily-used road between
and Asheville? The only stretch which is improved
enough to be termed modern is the Marshall By-Pass.
Tourists are NOT going to travel from north to south
or vice versa until the ENTIRE strip from Tennessee
to Asheville is vastly improved. "Spot improvements"
are not the answer.
We urge our highway commissioner and Other
members of the Commission to take steps IMMEDI
ATELY to rebuild or, at least, improve this vital highway.

NO RESPONSE YET
Last week's appeal for adult leadership so that
Little League and Babe Ruth League baseball can
again be played in Marshall this summer has brought
forth very little response.
It isn't because the editorial, wasn't reat
al people have mentioned it to us but non
unteered to manage tne teams or take over
sponsibihties of the teams. ,
It's a shame in a town which so
pervised' recreational programrfor oirobyisWaWS
that so few adults have the "time" or interest to give
to youth development.
A certain bright-eyed youngster came in the of
fice Monday and said he and his mother had read the
editorial and that he (the youngster) wanted to play.
We were compelled to tell him that vm MfRn't. sure
whether or not there would be a team here "this sum
mer unless some "grown-up" would manage itrttere
was a young boy wanting to play baseball. Who
knows, maybe a future big-leaguer. There are many
others just like him.
We again urge some interested man to come to
the rescue. Contact Frank Moore at the Citizens
Bank or contact this newspaper office.

THEAT TOBACCO
PLANT BEDS FOR
FLEA BEETLES
P. W. England, assistant county
agent, says that in the coming
weeks Madison County farmers
will be having trouble with flea
beetles on their tobacco. For the
farmers who have not set plants
it is a good phut to treat the plants
in the plant bed before they an
pulled and transplanted in the
field. You may use either a DDT
dust or a DDT spray to treat your
plant bed. If you use a dust, use
1V4 pounds of a 10 dust on 100
square yards. If you use a spray,
use about cup of a 60 wettable
powder in 5 gallons of water.
This will treat 100 square yards.
By treating before the plants are
pulled it will give protection from
one week to ten days in the field.
For field treatment it will re
quire from 10 to 16 pounds of s
10 dust to treat one acre. It
will require one pound of a 60
wettable powder in approximately
20 gallons of water. This is s
practice which is well worth the
time and expense required on bur
ley tobacco.
