He said the secietary was insisting on a one thousand feet rigid of way wlH'.ever possible. .Much"! the parkway will go through govern ment property and securing the right of way is merely a matter of detail which can be completed within a few days. Under the . agreement -'the states must : jui chase all l ight, , of wavs excent where the narkway cross es government -property.-- Decision ('f Secretary lckes to make a personal inspection tour of the pro posed parkway routes, on the South ern end is regarded as a victory for North Carolina.

Local Potato Seed .Being Used Now In Piedmont Sections '' "Excellent crops -. of early Irish poL latoes are being produced in the i'iedmont section from seed grown in the mountains of western North ( arohna.

Niswonger. exten sion horticulturist at State College. For the past 10 years the extension service has been encouraging the pro duction of seed potatoes in the moun tain . counties. So far the Irish cobb r has proved the most - popular, though other varieties are also in de mand. Tin- year the extension service, in co-operation'- with-' the Carolina Moun tain Co-operative anil, the Tennessee Valley Authority helped in placing T.abO bushels of certified Maine seed among 75 farmers.- Between .20,000 and , 25,000 bushels of seed potatoes should be harvested from this plant ing, Niswonger e-timated- The potato plants in this . project have passed inspection. Later, the potatoes will be inspected ny the X. C. Crop Improvement Assik lation and certified unless traces of disease are found. No diseased potato will "be approved for seed purposes ' Niswonger said that, tne western Carolina seed is : ideal for u-e by growers in the extreme eastern counties, but at present the high freight rates make it diflicuU for mountain farmers to compete with seed growers in Maine who tan ship their seed by water. ( However, extensive . shipmentts of mountain seed into the Piedmont sec tion have been made yearly and the seed is growing in favor by all who use it- Niswonger added..
