The meeting on Tuesday night will be concerning cotton production . and Glenn Toomey, who is the Extension cotton specialist, will conduct this meeting. The meeting on Wednesday night will be on weed and grass control in all crops and Dr. Doug Worsham, who is the Extension weed con trol specialist, will conduct this meeting. "We have found out that those farmers that follow the cotton program as laid out by Mr. Toomcy, have found that cotton is a., very profitable crop to grow and one that can be handled, with much less labor than wo used to think was in volved in the production of cot ton," further slates Mr. Thomp son. "There is also more interest each year in controlling grass and weeds in cotton, peanuts, corn and soybeans, through the use of chemicals. This can be rather expensive if it is not used correctly, and many of the peo ple that are dissatisfied with the control that they get are those that : have misused these chem icals. Therefore, we know that a person us,ing chemicals for weed and grass control should know all the known facts about these chemicals before they are applied. We hope that the cot ton ' farmers in Perquimans County will attend our meeting on March 30 and all of those farmers interested in grass and weed icontrol through the use of chemicals will be with us on Wednesday night, March 31, as we know that both these meet ings will be profitable to you," further states Mr. Thompson.

"But your Fire Department did the job and they MUST have put EVERY DROP of water where it was needed the most. "The job was also done with coordination and cooperation that would be the envy of many big city professionals. It is my opinions that the Town of Hert ford should be very proud of these men who stand at the risk of great personal peril, ready to serve in time of emergency. "I would ask also that you ac cept the enclosed token of ap preciation to purchase the fire men a portable canteen or an additional safety device, or if you have all of these, perhaps the firemen would like to de posit it in a fund to assist an injured fire fighter or some oth er need which I am happy to leave entirely to the discretion of your Fire Dept. whose Chief and EVERY MEMBER I wish to again say "Thank you".

The board agreed to cocperaio with Jes.-e Harris in lighting his shopping center and providing driveway cntrance!rat the cenjtr. . Tlie widening of Market Street from the office " of Dr. T. P. Brinn to povent Garden Street was vot d. The block has al ways been too narrow for two way traffic plus parking on both sides of the street. However, the widening will take down some pretty old land mark tees and rather than do this, it is felt by many here that parking on only one side of the street would have eliminated this problem without the widening and taking down of the trees. Trees like other towns and cities are trying to preserve.
