II NO. 28 BRIDGE CROATAN SOUND There is strong sentiment in Hyde County for continu ing without delay, a direct route to the county seat of Dare, via stumpy Point and Manns Harbor, and the peo ple of eastern Hyde and all other communities on the route, are anxious for a bridge across Groatan Sound. A small part of the road has been paved in the vicinity of Stumpy Point, and a larger part in Hyde County, some 30 miles or more from Swan Quarter north through Engel hard. More than two years ago, the Commissioner of the district in which Hyde is located, offered to join with the Commissioner of tne district in which Dare is located, to make this road a primary road subject to Federal aid. A delegation of DareHDounty leaders made every effort to get their commissioner to take advantage of such valuable cooperation, and came away from his office, secure in the belief that he would do so, only to be advised some three days later that he coudl not join in the movement. What changed his apparent intention is not known, but it is known that powerful communities are opposed to this work, and the people of Dare found themselves helpless, to co- Improved » SUNDAY SCHOOL Unijorm International LESSON -:- COLORED NEWS Items of Interest to Our Negro Readers OTHER EDITORS MARK TWAIN’S FORMULA FOR WAR drivers lead in fatali Of the 337 pedestria year 61 or 16 per cen By B.

A new Governor is in office, and the people have confi dence in him, and believe he will strive to see the laws carried out, at this late date, and all county seats directly connected. They believe fully, during the next four years, bridges across Croatan Sound and Alligator River will be well underway. , . But the need for one of these bridges is urgent. It is a need that shouldn’t wait, until both may be built. Work should be started at once. It is a known fact that a bridge across Croatan Sound can be easily completed in a year.^ It is likely that it would be two years before Alligator River can be bridged, due to the need for building new approaches. and allowins them time to settle. It might be three years ^The^Se^f Hyde and oi' need for both bridges, but do not feel that they should be inconvenienced longer. They think that Cjoatan Sound should be bridged at once, to take care of the traffic over the Hvde County route, and over the ter must of necessity continue to be handl^ by ferries, for even the road to the short ferry route is not bujlt.

It seems we shouuld t^ to get one bridge finished as quickly as possible, use the ferries over the river until they can get that bridge too, underway, and then give up the ferries altogether. There IS no doubt that simple justice demands the direct connection of Columbia, Manteo, and Swan Quarter, bv the nearest, shortest route. The state is showing a pohcy of adhering to that system, as witness the causeway six miles long across Mattamuskeet Lake. It would be absurd to suggest that the state is too niggardly to do other than bridge both River and Sound. But, right now, pressing need demands one bridge and the one that can be most quickly built. Commonsense suggests thRt all enej'gy be put forward to get this job done.

Yet, ‘he State College man pointed out, one acre of good pasture is ample. For the most part, the low qual- itv of the average North Carolina nature is due to poor soil, made Tioor by continuous crppiong with soil-depleting crips such as corn Mid tobacco before the pasture was started. A .good growxn of pasture crops cannot he secured on this best pasture sods in the State are found on rather heavy soils that are fertile and well sup plied with moisture. Such soils are dark in color, indicating a high content of organic matter. Usually, it is a waste of time and money to seed a pasture on .poor land, Famham said. Unless the old land is of medium to good fer tility, it would be advisable to clear up new land. For best results, the seeding of permanent pasture should be corn- pleted around the first >of Mai'ch in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont areas and by March 15 in the mountain section.
