B. F. G. Farmers
Hold Meeting
-The fourth meeting of the B. F.
Grady evening school was held
recently at Ambrose Smith's store
with 26 farmers present The top
ic dsicussed at this meeting was,
"Production, care, and use : of
Farm Manure." In developing this
topic, K A. Howton presented
charts and figures illustrating the
value of farm manures. - It was
pointed out that there is too tittle
realization of its value and loss
es' that 'take: place. Each 1,000
pounds of live weight of stock on
the farm produces approximately
10 tons of manure annually,' con
taining the plant food elements
The new abridge1' -across the
North East Cape' Fear at Chinqua
pin has been completed 'and is now
open for traffic. The draw has
been removed from the old struc
ture and the new bridge is located
on the same site with a solid floor.
The turns at the ends, of tht
bridge as approach isVmade from
either direction have not been cor'
rected.: It is thoughtthat a "S"
curve in the new road when built
will make a more favorable ap
proach to the west side of the liv
er. ' -v .
