MOST FEED SAVED;
RAIN MUCH NEEDED
Fall Crops Slightly Delayed !;
Rain Won't Hurt Cot
ton Much

Thousands of tons of feed for live
stock has been harvested by fa"mors
in Vance county during the past ten
DAYS or two weeks since the last rain,
and the steady downpour that set m
Sunday found many farmers with
much or all of their crop housed, 1t
was learned today.
While there is much feed out, how
ever, the rain is helping otherwise.
Small grain and winter cover crops
that have been planted were needing
rain. And moisture was needed fo'
the planting of the remainder of these
rops. easEl
Some fears were felt for the cotton
crop, especially if the rainy seasoi
should re long drawn out. While some
bolls have opened and some picklnf
done vet most of the cotton crop has
not opened in the fields, and moderate
rains would not do a great deal OF
harm.
Only damage feared from the rain
was that which may possibly result
to feed crops not housed and to cot
ton that has already opened. Grain
and cover crops need the rain, and II
was estimated that, taken on the
whole. greater benefits would come
from the rain than any outright dam
age that might be done.

Mayor Henry T. Powell said today
he planned to attend the meeting in
Raleigh tomorrow of United States
Highway No. 1 Association, at which
time plans are to be made for pro-
noting the route as the continued
leading artery of travel between the
north and the south. The meeting is
one of a series to be held in southern
states which the route traverses.
The first of the series of meetings
was held in Richmond this afternoon.
After Tuesday similar gatherings will

Mayor Powell said he felt very keen
ly the Importance of Henderson be-
ing represented. Next to Raleigh, it
is the largest city or town in the State
that lies directly on Route one. The
city, he said, has much at stake, in
the future of this great road stretch

Miami.
The mayor recalled that recent agi-
tation had been looking toward divert
ing Route one slightly east of Hen
derson, the plea being based on a
claim of the saving of a few miles.
He made the point that if Henderson
does not support the association it is
possible the association will not be as
enthusiastic about supporting Hen
derson if the time ever comes when
the diversion agitation becomes seri-
Gus, with a prospect of bearing fruit.
He urged that as many citizens as
possible attend the Raleigh meeting,
