Franck Jonas County Agent A silent, almost unnoticed, life or-death contest has been going on for the past five years at the north end of the Jones County Flair Grounds. The sate of the contest is a 50 foot-long stretch of test fence. Purpose of this test is to show farmers in this area what kind of post will give the longest service in a fence line. Nine different kinds of posts have been put in this line since the ex hibit was set up in August, 1954. The following posts were still spund and showing no signs of ter mite or rot infestation after 5 years and 3 months in the ground. 4 sap pane pressure treated with creosote 1 sap pine soaked in cold “Pen fa" for 48 hours 1 heart red cedar post untreated An untreated sap cypress post and an untreated heart black cher ry frwt weae installed in February, 1956. Both are still sound after three years and nine months in the ground. The cherry post is bad ly split, however, and beginning to show signs of failure. An untreated sap pine post in stalled when the exhibitwas first set up in 1664, rotted out in 14 months. A second untreated sap pine installed in 1956, rotted out in 3 years. Untreated sap sweet oak fend sap white about 5 years, at this fence next post k marked with a metal sign. Take a look, also, at the way the posts on each end of the line are braced.

JOHN BRANCH A good example of this is to be found in the life of Senator John Branch who served North Caro lina in the United States Senate from March 4, 1822 to March 9, 1829. He was born in Halifax County in 1782. After graduating from the University of North Carolina in 1801, he became a lawyer, served in the State Senate and was Gov ernor from 1817 to 1820. In 1822, President James Monroe appointed Branch Federal Judge for the Western District of Florida. After this, Branch was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate, serving until his resigna tion in 1829 to accept the post of Secretary of the Navy from Presi dent Andrew Jackson. He resigned from the cabinet in 1831 and re turned to Congress as a member of the House of Representatives, serv ing until March 3, 1833. President Tyler appointed Branch Governor of Florida in 1844 and he held that high office until 1845. REMARKABLE RECORD Although Senator Branch was not as well known as a United States Senator as ins colleague , the eca (ior Senator, ■ Ksitwael MacoO) he achieved the remarkable record of serving as Governor of North Carolina and Florida, Secretary of the Navy, judge, legislator in North Carolina and the United States Congress.
