VEGETATION BEST
EROSION CONTROL
Results of Experiments Al
Soil Test Station Bear
Out Belief

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. /
That vegetation is most effective in
erosion control is well illustrated by
results of experiments at the Cen
trail Piedmont Sol Erosion Expert
ment Station at Statesville.
Results of experiments on a 10 per
cent slope showed that with the same
rainfall bare soil lost IS tons of soil
and 30 tons of water per acre; con-
tinuous cotton lost IA tons of soil and
81 tons of water; and continuous
grass lost only O.8 tons of soil and So
tons Of water.
Experiments in North Carolina also
showed that Is to 80 times as much
soil and 70 times as much rainfall
were lost when row crops were grown
on land with 10 per cent slope as
when lespedeza was grown.
Throughout the ages vegetation has
served the double purpose of holding
in place and replenishing the soil.

WAYM|CK'S CHANCE
GREATLY IMPROVED
Hoey Expected To Retain
Highway Chief as Friends
Urge His Cause
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel.
" 4 q III OK ER VIII

ny de u has kIHt v I'LL
Raleigh, Jan. 1-Chances for the
reappointment of Capus M Waynick
as chairman of the State Highway
regarded as considerably better since
a committee of High Point and Gull
ford county Democrats journeyed to
Shelby some days ago to urge Cover
nor-elect Clyde r. Hoey to reappoint
him, according to reports heard here
the last two or three days. If those
friendly to Waynick should become
half as active as those opposed to him,
the belief is that there would be lit
tie doubt as to his reappointment. Re
liable reports from the neighborhood
of Shelby are that until the High
Point delegation went to bat with Mr.
dOey for the retention of Waynick
that most of the pressure brought up
to that time had been from those
seeking his removal.
1t is no secret here, of course that
the highway contractors, roads ma
terials statesmen, road machinery
manufacturers and group of poll
ticians seeking jobs with the highway
department, have been opposing Way
nick for months and have been pre-
dieting that they would get him as
soon as Mr.. Hoey became governor
Many of this group are known to have
supported either Lieutenant Governor
A. H. (Sandy) Graham or Ralph w.
Mcdonald for governor because both
of them promised they would GUST
Waynick if nominated and elected.
Many of the followers of these two
candidates now blame Waynick for
the nomination and election of Mr.
Hoey, since most political observers
agree that the highway department,
with more than 10000 employees and
5000 prisoners-and their families
is tremendous factor in any election
1t is no secret that WayIick support
ed MIR. Hoey.
The very fact however that most of
the opposition to Waynick is coming
from the highway contractors, ma
chinery and materials men or from
the group who supported either Ora
ham or Mcdonald in the belief that
either one of them would GUST Way
nick, is regarded by many as being
to his advantage. For if Mr. Hoey
should now yield to this pressure"
to get rid Of Waynick, he would be
bowling to the will and desire of those
who fought him hardest in the pri-
maries. And most of those who are
opposed to Waynick admit that he is
efficient and knows the highway set
up in the State as few others ever
have. Waynick's friends are convinced
that the nature of the opposition to
him is the best recommendation he
could have for reappointment.

This year, Zadok made up his mind
to indulge in a set of resolutions
which would be easy to keep. So he
went into a one-man huddle with a

BY 11:30 p. m. Dummy had evolved
a set of resolutions which would be
harder to break than to keep. An ideal
setup and now he plans to have the

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-21

Following the longest recess from work in several months, one which started last Friday, the local WPA projects will resume work tomorrow, it was announced by local officials today.
 There has been considerable talk about the approval of the new field house and grandstand project on the site of the new athletic flelc on Wat ertown avenue but to date no official report has come through in regard to the sum of the proposed grant.
 $1OO,000 Project
 A few months ago the most con- servative of estimates in connection with the cost of completing the city's largest WPA project indicated that the appropriation would run over $100,0OO.
 A small crew of men worked on the surface of the field and the track during the last work period and it is expected that a larger crew will be assigned the task of putting up the wire fence when it arrives in Waterbury.
 The fence is being shipped here at the present time and should ar rive within a weeks time. A rough estimate shows that it will take hun dreds of feet of fence to enclose the entire field.

 It was also pointed out today that

The $25,00O civil action of Bar- tolomeo Serra, of Plymouth, against the Raymond Baking Company and Henry Bagley of this city, has been withdrawn from the court of corn- mon pleas where 1t had been pepd- ing trial, and is reported to have been settled.

 Serra brought the litigation against the local company as re- suit of an automobile crash on the Plymouth -Terryville road at 6 a. r1., September q, 1886. His story was that he was on the way to his work in the New Departure Mfg. O., in Bristol when suddenly his car stal- led and he drew over to the should CT of the road. While so parked the bakery truck operated by Bag ley crashed into the rear, and the resultant impact severely injured him
