It was on July 7, 1858 that the first train ran through from Goldsboro to the ter minal at Morehead City, following the completion of the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad. From the archives of state his tory one can gather much infor mation of interest covering the con ception and turbulent days of this state-owned railroad, from the time of its conception in 1852 to the execution of its lease to the How land Improvement company in 1904. Over 100 years ago the matter of railroad transportation engaged the legislatures and internal improve ment commission of the state. Projects were presented for con The recent State Public Utili ties commission ruling authoriz es removal of passenger trains from Goldsboro to Morehead City.

Up to that lime the Wilmington St Gaston and the Gaston & Ral eigh were the only railroads in North Carolina. More than half the state was dependent upon the horse and buggy for distances from 30 to 400 miles to market. East Wants Road Following the completion of the North Carolina railroad, extending i'rom Goldsboro to Charlotte that had been largely built by state funds, a demand came from the eastern counties between Wilming ton and the Roanoke that they be given an outlet to the west that would open up the center coastal section to join the junction point at Goldsboro. The Sanders bill of 1852 provid ed that the Atlantic & North Car olffiartWbM Hi ft from Beaufort harbor to Goldsboro. Following a survey by Walter Gwynn, a com pany was organized with a capital stock of $1,000,000 of which the stale was to purchase Iwo-thirds of the stock.

Williams, county agent, re ports. It has become the usual practice for many tobacco growers to prepare 100 square yards of plant bed for each acre of their to bacco allotment. Of the 633,800 flue cured tobacco acreage allot ment last year, 63.300,000 square yards of plant beds were grown. Tobacco authorities state that with the proper management of to bacco plant beds the plant bed yardage could be reduced one-half. Accordingly tobacco growers could have saved over 4'i million dol lars last year on plant production. Blue mold, which is caused by a fungus parasite is the most de structive and costliest enemy of plant production. With the use of the present fungicide treatments the ravages of this disease can be reduced to a minimum. Lacked Plants Last year, due to blue mold de struction, many growers found themselves without a sufficient number of plants to set their acre age, relates Mr. Williams. This condition resulted in cost of pur chasing and transportation of plants from one farm or county to anoth er. Setting acreages late resulting in reduced yields, the mixing of varieties not adapted to certain farms and the introduction of cer tain tobacco diseases caused fur ther trouble. Very little black shank disease lias been reported in Carteret county. Adjoining counties have been having consid erable trouble with this disease. Fortunately, our tobacco research people have developed varieties re sistant to this disease, commented the farm agent. Any or all of these practices can mean none other than lower net return per acre for our tobacco farmers, Mr. Williams pointed out Blue mold has already done con Sec FARMERS, rage Three Part oi Inland Waterway To Close April 28-29 Col.

Morehead Board Calk Meeting Of Townspeople Commissioners Want lo Hear Opinions on Town Recrealion Program Morehead City citizens will have the privilege of expressing their opinion on the advisability of re opening the Carferct County Rec reation center. Shepard street, al a mass meeting at 8 o'clock Tues day night in the municipal build ing. The meeting has been called by the board of commissioners. If residents want the center re open ed, Mayor George W. Dill com mented, the only way seen to fi nance it is to levy a tax to be used for municipal recreation. "Fortunately," the mayor con tinues, "this docs not mean that our tax rate will increase. Be cause of the state ports program, the Morehead C ity levy of 10 cents per hundred will be removed June 30 this year. "Therefore, this 10 cents could be applied to municipal recrea tion and be used to maintain the recreation center. Revenue from this levy 'amounts to about $8,000 annually," he said. t It is believed that $8,000 will adequately maintain the recreation center, with a paid director of rec reation. The mayot said there would be no objection to other ?money-raising projects being un dertaken by the groups or organ i zalions that may use the building. To use the 10 cent levy for rec reation. the matter will have to be submitted to the people in refer endum. the Mayor stated.
