County Roads
Last week and this week we
are carrying the legal advertise¬
ment for contractor’s bids for
t he widening,, reconstructing
and resurfacing of highway 11.
This project has gone through
so speedily because of the fine
cooperation of these property
owners along the highway who
signed all the necessary right
of way deeds by negotiations
,and without having to resort to
condemnation proceedings.
The highway department is
requesting all right-of-way
owners to remove all obstruc¬
tions except utility poles, from
their right-of-ways as soon as
possible so that the Resident
Engineer can sign the obstruc¬
tion clearance, report, which is
one more thing which has to be
done before road work could
begin.
Last week work began again
on State highway 301, the road
which runs from about half way
up Sand Mountain over White-
oak Gap past the Davis School
to the Alabama line. Slides and
washes are being repaired and
is is hoped that the pavement
will go down this summer.
We also learn that the new
road across Sand Mountain to
the new Stevenson bidge has
been paved.
Work on - the Cloverdale road
progresses slowlly. Next spring
when the rains come the resi¬
dents will appreciate their
top all the mor.*by remember¬
ing the year the road was built.
SHERIFF’S REPORT
No bad . traffic accidents were
reported in the county over the
Memorial Day week end. The
State Troopers and the Sheriff,
who were on the highway, did
see four cars having flat tires
changed, due, the drivers said,
to the holes in the road. The
constant rain, along with the
extra heavy week end traffic
ihas made even some of the
'holes recently patched to sink
again. The highway department
is back working on the road this
week.
Saturday there was a three
car wreck near the Will Smith
place in Rising Fawn. A truck
had stopped to make a left turn
and one car had come to a stop
behind. The third car, charged
with following too close, ran
into the stopped car causing a
“chain” accident. The cars were
damaged but no one was hurt.

own cooks for their dinning
cars. There were about 30 cars
in all and were divided with a
group at Morganville and one at
Trenton.
One small outfit is expected
to be here this week to put down
with machines which are fas¬

Several projects to increase

Panned by the U. S. and other
wheat exporting nations as a
first step in the Food for Peace
Program, according to word re¬
ceived at the Dade County Agri¬
cultural Stabilization and Con¬
servation Office.
The planned actions include:
1. Further assistance to the
needy with direct feeding pro¬
grams such as school lunch pro¬
jects, refugee feeding, and re¬
settlement.
2. Further emphasis on Pro¬
jects which will permit foreign
currencies to be used for econ¬
omic development.
3. Further encouragement of
setting up national food reser¬
ves in countries or areas of
greatest need.
At a Food for Peace confer¬
ence recently convened by Sec¬
retary of Agriculture Benson, a
Wheat Utilization Committee
was formed to work on these
other plans for inter-
national use of surplus wheat,
Countries represented were Ar-

The 1958 Cotton crop totaled
11,512,000 bales, slightly higher
than the 1957 crop but substan¬
tially more than the 10-year
average, according to a final
report on last year’s production
received at the Dade County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Office.
With production and prices
higher than in 1957, the value of
lint cotton for the 1958 season
was $1,907 million, 17 percent
larger than for the previous
crop, the report shows. Quality
of the 1958 crop was generally
good and growers received an
average of 33.1 cents per pound,
compared with 29.65 cents for
the below-average quality crop
harvested the previous season.
We extend an invitation to
everyone.
