Need More Wheat Here Instead Of Cut In Acreage \>rv Few Cleveland Farmers Pro duce Surplus Wheat Over Thier Own Needs. After conducting a series of eight wheat meetings among farmers of the county, Farm Agent R. W Shoffner is of the opinion that what Cleveland farmers need to do is to grow more wheat and small grains instead of slashing wheat acreage. The series of eight, meetings were held last week in order to cooperate with the government’s wheat reduc tion program. In this program farm ers out of the regular wheat-pro ducing sections are being urged to reduce their acreage so as not to produce a surplus which would bring about such a general surplus as to lower the market price of the grain. After conducting wheat meetings at Shelby, Kings Mountain. Waco, Belwood, Polkville, Boiling Springs. Lattimore and No. 3, Mr. Shoffner found, he said, that there are very few Cleveland farmers produce a surplus above that which they need for home consumption. "As a result," he said, "we center ed our efforts in these meetings ir urging more farmers, not now do ing so. to grow their own wheat The county now produces an aver age of 56,000 bushels of wheat per year and this is not enough for the county's own consumption. A big percentage of those now growing 'vheat do produce enough for their home needs, but too many of our farmers are not growing enough wheat and smaJ grain. If we can set them to do so, that will take care of the land taken out of cot ton and it will mean less money to spend for wheat, flour and other grain which we should produce here.” Only farmers who produced a sur plus of wheat in 1932 are eligible to •'ign acreage reduction contracts 8nd as a result of the check-up no contracts have been signed so far m the county.

Cleveland Will Get Roadsf Jeffress Says I Prepare Plan Road Boiling Springs 1 Hope to Let Surfacing Contract Polkville-LawndaJe Roads at Early Date. j The State Highway commissions plans for road improvements and road building in Cleveland county, as outlined some time ago, will be carried out as rapidly as possible and as much in keeping with *he outlined program as possible, ac cording to a letter to The Star from E. B. Jefress, chairman of the high way organization. In his letter he stated that, work is being rushed on the Kings Moun tain-South Carolina road because the road w-as ready for surface treat, ment and it was desired to get the surface on before fall Continued Chairman Jefress stated: “We will let a surfacing contract I hope, shortly for the Polkville uad and the Lawndale road . "We are preparing plans for the construction of the road from Route No. 18 to Boiling Springs, and we are now considering whether we will ask for Federal funds for the road from Boiling Springs to Lattimore along the ridge, or whether we can get an allotment of State funds to surface treat it this fall. Shelby-Grover Road “We expect to follow" with the | Shelby-Grover road if the prices do not. run up so high that the money will be used up.” Financial matters are giving the , road program a handicap, it was added. “The requirement," Mr. Jef ! fress wrote, “for setting aside 25 per ■ent for municipality projects re duces our $9,522,293 to $7,150,000. . . It is. therefore impossible for us at this stage in the face of advancing prices, to say exactly how far our money will go, but you may rest assured that I am pressing the Cle veland program as fast as possible” Women, Farmers Preparing For | Big County Fair ; Mi's.

Three Counties Seek Shelby To Marion Highway land, Rutherford And Mc Dowell Petition Board. At a joint meeting of the county commissioners of Clefteland, Ruth erford and McDowell counties, held In Marion Friday, a unanimous request was made upon the state highway commission to compete at once the grading and hard-surfac ing of highway No. 190 from Shel by to Marion. This highway has been graded from Shelby to Polkville and it is expected that the hard surface on this section will be put down under contract to be let this or next month. Now the commissioners of the three counties are asking that the Marion end from Polkville through Dysartville and to Marion be grad ed and hard surfaced out of funds available from the federal govern ment. It is pointed out in the petition signed by Joe E. Blanton, chairman of the board in Cleveland, J. F. Snipes, chairman of McDowell county and D. V. Rollins, chairman of Rutherford county, that this highway would furnish a direct route from Shelby to Marion, con necting with highways No. 10 and 19 at Marion, leading through the mountains of Western North Caro lina into Tennessee, No. 20 at Shelby and also No. 18 at Shelby, making a direct route through to South Carolina. this highway would also open up a vast territory in each of the above three coun ties that now has practically no road facilities and no state high way of any kind, meaning that sec tion surrounding Golden Valley. It is understood that a survey of this highway has been completed and is now on file in the state highway office and the county com missioners of the three counties in sist that contract be let at once looking toward the completion of this road. , First Bale Of Cotton Ginned On Aug. 22; Colored Farmer Grew It Learned That Frank Hill, Who Lives On Hoyle Place, Had First Bale. Cleveland county's first bale of cotton was taken tc the gin this year by Frank Hill, colored farmer of the Lawndale section, instead of Toy Webb, prominent farmer and ginner, it was learned over the week end. Frank's bale of cotton, weighing 537 pounds, was ginned at the Cle veland Mill & Power company gin on Tuesday, Aug. 22, or a day be fore the Webb bale was ginned n^pr Shelby. A report from Lawndale has it that Frank, a thrifty colored farm er who lives on the John E Hoyle place, two miles west of Lawndale, has the record of bringing the first bale of the season to the Cleveland Mill & Power Company for seven consecutive years. Prank, according to Hal E Schenck, secretary of the Lawndale plant, desired that the record be kept straight in the paper, if for no other reason than that he would like to have his name in the paper “without having to die or murder somebody to get it there.” And to Frank, unless someone shows up with an earlier bale, goes the record fbr the earliest bale of cotton produced in this county in more than a decade.

Judge Webb spent much of hit time nrguing the cose for the 18th amendment and answering the ar guments of those who favor repeal Discussing "Ik*mperance and Repeal.’* Judge Webb said: Temperance And Repeal “I heard a speaker over the radio a few nights ago, speaking ! in favor of repeal, say that the re peal of the 18th amendment was sought in order to produce large revenue for the government and at the same time bring about temper ance. This argument to me seems to be an attempt to ride two horses going in opposite directions. If there is large revenue collected from the sale of liquor and beer, there must be large quantities of It drunk: and If drunk in large quantities, it cannot produce tem perance. If genuine temperance is practiced, then the sale of alcoho lic beverages would be small, and the revenue produced correspond ingly small. But does any sane mar think that if there were suddenly set up in the United States 177,000 saloons and barrooms, as existed before the 18th amendment abol ished them, there would be less al cohol drunk than at present?
