17 TRENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1958 VOLUME X New Trenton Bridge One of 32 Planned with Federal Funds on Secondary Roads A special allocation of federal funds for secondary roads in North Carolina has permitted plans ' to be made for 32 new bridges in the worst spo's about the state. One of these will be across Trent River at Trenton. District Engineer Hetoer Gray says there was not enough of this money to build every bridge that is needed so the Highway Com mission simply had to pick what it felt to be the most dangerous places on the secondary road system. Griy readily agreed that the two narrow bridges on NC 58 be tween Trenton and PoUocksville were much more hazardous but these are part of the state’s pri mary road system and none of these funds could he used on the primary roads. Gray also agreed that the Trent River bridge at PoUocksville on US 17 was one of the most dan gerous in the Second Division but he says long-range plans for US 17 are the basic cause for delay in correcting that bottleneck. Major re-routing, widening and resurfacing for US 17 are part of the program that has gotten side tracked in the past two years state spent most of its "pay M sec Gray said he doubted that the plan calling for a complete by pass of New Bern by US 17 had been “pompletey dropped”. This proposal which was posted more than two years ago called for US 17 cutting southwardly from Vance bcfto and running in almost a straight line to PoUocksville. Once the map of this major change was posted thunder and lightening roared out of Mew Bern and an effort was made to bury the re routing plan but it is sitill “not dead”. This major change in US 17 would, in all probability bypass PoUocksville with' a bridge either just east or west of the present admittedly inadequate bridge. Once the major ilow of US 17 traffic is taken out of Pollocks - ville the highway officials feel the present bridge will be all right for local traffic. Pulp Company Wants Clear Title to Land ..A suit was filed last week in Jones County Superior Court by ihe North Carolina Pulp Company, a Deleware corporation, seeking to have the court evict Mr. and Mrs. J.

C- Agricultural Exten sion Service, believes that the proper grading of tobacco can be an important factor in holding valuable export markets. “I know farmers are often dis couraged from spending too much time sorting their tobacco," Ben nett said, “for poorly-graded to bacco often sells as well as well graded tobacco.” “But,” he continued, “we are in competition with tobacco growers in other parts o2 the world. If good storting does no more than help meet foreign competition, then our efforts will have been worth while.” By good sorting, Bennett means placing tobacco into uniflonm grades, 'keeping green tobacco separate from thb ripe, and seeing that all strings and foreign mat ter are removed. Tie the hands about the size of a 50 cent piece, Bennett suggested. See that it is in correct order when sold, and be sure to sell tips when tips are selling and lugs when lugs are selling. “Manufacturers usually have their equipment set up for hand ling one type o' tobacco at the time,” Ber.nett explained. “Gen erally speaking, the moisture and temperature schedule for redry ing lugs is different from that re quired to redry heavy leaf.” The length of tobacco that goes into a grade is also very im portant, Bennett added. Many com panies are now cutting the tips from bundles of tobacco. If long and short leaves are mixed in the same bundle, the short leaves will get tipped too near the end and the long leaves will get tipped too near the buitts.
