The rooms were tastefully deco

In his article in this issue Mr.. Pate
says the Clark bill plan of getting
MONEY! for roads sounds like dream
CT finance. 1t does. Any business
man wouli limp at the cnance to get
n oney on such a plan. Under this
plan the county will pay both lnte.-
est and principal by paying per
cent interes: for not more thar Al
years. Tnc1e will be no increase in
taxes, and, as Mr.. Pate points out,
taxes could very easily be reduced
for the first years. 1t is simply a
question of whether Robson county
shall borrow money and build roads at
once or take all time to build roads
and never get them. Roads cannot be
built with the present tax money,
1t has to be spread over too large
a territory and it takes too much to
maintain roads and bridges to leave
enough for permanent road building.
If bonds are voted on the 9Th of May
Robson county can build roads and
provide a fund for maintaining them
at not a penny additional tax. The
law amply protects each township and
provides that it shall receive it pro
rata share of the money.

SOUTH MUST FEED ITSELF

Under Present Conditions It Ia Sui
cidal Not to Plant Plenty of Food
and Feed Crops to Feed Man and
Beast-Farmers Of South Can Ward
off Suffering Only by Raising Plen-
ty of FOOdstuffs
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Alarming conditions confront US
as a result of war. Heretofore the
South has depended upon the West
for foodstuffs-foodstufs that could
and should be raised at home. With
present conditions it is safe to saw
that the South must feed itself this
year at least. The government will
take the surplus food crops of the
West for the army. There is one way
and only one way-for the people
Of the South to keep away hunger.
This one way is for the farmers to
reduce their cotton and tobacco, or
money CROP, acreage and increase
their corn, wheat, vegetable, potato
and other food crop acreage.
Whlle no doubt present prices of
cotton are tempting to farmers, they
should remember that if cotton brings
a high price, foodstuff will bring
even higher price. The world must
be fed and the South should not only
make an effort to raise plenty of
foodtsuff for home consumption, but
some to spare.
Unless the people here in the South
raise what the yexpect to need for
themselves and their stock thew must
undoubtedly do without. Still there
are many farmers in Robson coun-
tty who are planting so MANY acres
In cotton and tobacco that with good
seasons they will not raise enough
foodstuff to supply the families and
stock which it takes to cultivate their

LET EVERY MAN REGISTER
AND VOTE FOR ROAD BONDS

No Increase in Road Tax and Tax
Ought to be Lower for Next g.
Years at Least-Cnance Will Not
Come to Get Money Oil More Fa-
vorable Terms Election May 8
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
1 notice in the last issue of your
paper that petitions bearing the sig
natures Of more than one-fourth Of
the registered voters Of Robson
county have been presented to the
county commissioners, and that IN
accordance with the provisions OF an
act passed at the last session Of the
Legislature, known as the "Clarke
bill", the commissioners have called
an election for May 9Th to determ-
inc whether or not Robson county
shall avail itself OF the opportunities
afforded by the "Clarke bill' and bor-
row money from the State for road
construction.
| have studied somewhat the pro-
visions of this bill and it occurs to
me to be the product of constructive
craftsmanship. l understand from
the provisions Of the bill that Rob-
eson county can borrow $4,000 a
year for six years, making a total
of $4SO,000, at an interest rate of
per cent for a period not exceeding
forty-one years, and that at the END
Of that time the debt will be cancell-
ed, principal and all. In other words,
we can borrow from the State at
per cent and never have to pay the
principal. Sounds like a dream of
finance.) This, We are told, is accom-
plished by the State issuing its bonds
at IL per cent or 4 per cent and
investing the difference between
what the State sells its bonds for and
per cent as a sinking fund to re-
tire the principal in forty-one years
if the State sells it's bonds at per
cent, or in thirty-two years, if the
State can sell it's bonds at IL pei
cent, and l note in your issue of the
9th instant that authoritative wore
has come that the State can dispose
Of its first issue at 3 IL per cent.
There is one thing certain: We vii
hardly, in this generation, have ar
opportunity of getting money on more
favorable terms. Instead of increas
ing our road tax, iG ought to be con
s'derably lower for the next six years
| at least. The assurance OF no IN
crease in our road tax, coupled with
the fact that the road law provide:
that each township shall get it's pro
rata part of the money borrowed
ought to rally every man in the coun
ty who believes in good roads t.
the support of bonds under this bill
Let every man register and vot
for road bonds under the "Clarke bill

with respect to this one important ele

AS for the other elements of plant
food for the growing of tobacco, there

for the farmer who has been fore

serious difficulties, since he has Or

For tobacco the phosphoric acid

Quoting from Virginia Experiment

Higher applications of fertilizer ap
