Quotas Encourage
Superior Tobacco

Although there is no sharp diyid-
ing line, tobacco growers fall into
two general classes those who try
to grow the most tobacco and
those who attempt to produce the
beet quality leaf.
Those in the first class often sac
rifice quality for greater production
by planting more acreage than they
can tend properly, says Lloyd T.
Weeks, assistant tobacco specialist
for the State College Extension
Service.

ted by tobacco growers and admin

authority for the statement. that
Ashe County can be producing a
million dollars worth Of milk in five
year if it wants to do so. When /
repeated this to one man he ven
tured the opinion that it would take
a million dollars to produce that
much milk, and thus there would be
no profit in it. He is right, of
course, if scrub stock continues to
be used. Profitable milk production
is possible only with good cows.
Mr.. Farnham's statement is based
not only on the County's capacity
for feeding much larger number.
of cows, but he says AShe has about
the best climate in the United
States for dairying. This County
needs to take seriously its opportun-
tiles in dairying.
The Skyland Post has called at
tention to the needs for a cannery,
as well as some other things. When
we get to thinking about it, why
do we ship our cabbage elsewhere
to be made into kraut that brings
premium prices? Why do we let
hundreds of bushels of fruit and
berries 60 to waste annually that
could be canned and sold for a
larger profit to our people?
Ashe County has elevation, min
eral water, and scenery that sur
pass many place more famed as
summer resorts What we need to
do is attract thousands of tourists
here every summer.
The advantages of the County
need to be advertised, but there is
no use of advertising until we are
ready to take care of the people.
Homes should be modernized with
paint and carpentry, and water and
lights should be installed. Mothers
and daughters in these homes could
well afford to learn the graces of
setting a table and the preparation
of attractive meals that would tempt
the most fastidious taste. Fathers
and sons should learn to produce
crops in their gardens and fields
that could be marketed on their
dinner tables.
And another thing: Our roads
ought to be kept open during sum-
mer months. Last summer, and in
other summers, great stretches Of
road in the County were closed for.
surgacing right at the height of the
tourist season, and people had to.
travel detoufs that were muddy
when it rained. Many were heard
to grumble and complain because of
this inconvenience. Such does not
help the County. Let the surfacing
be done, but at a more suitable
time.
This naturally leads one to think
of other road conditions that need
improvement in the County. High
way 16 should be regarded and sur
faced to the Tennessee line as early,
as possible. The people of the wes-
tern half of the County have wait
ed long and patiently for the inn
provement of this road over which
they must market the products of
their farms. Not only would it
help our own people but it would
serve as an important road into
Tennessee and Southwest Virginia
and route many people through the
County.

"Stay-At-Home" Campaign For
Children Is Suggested. Wants
Health Department.
By REV. G. r. STAFFORD,

BY REV. G. n. STAFFORD,
Pastor Of the Jefferson Nj. e. Charge
EDITORS note: The following inter-
e sting address was delivered at the
Jefferson high school finals last
Wednesday night and everyone in
Ashe county is urged to read it,
You have been fortunate in be-
ing reared in Ashe County. It is
indeed a great County with flu
ture unsurpassed, and determined
only by the vision, character and
energy of It's citizens.
Like any other progressive Coun-
ty it is finding plenty of room for
Improvement This is not the sign
of any backwardnass, but, rather,
that it has advanced to the point
where the next steps" are becom-
ing quite evidently necessary.
have thought it worth while to
call your attention this evening to
home of the lines along which I
think the next steps of progress"
that should be taken in the immedi-
ate future.
The United States Census of 1880
gave US two very interesting facts
about Ashe County: First, in the
decade 1920-1930 the population was
increased by only eighteen persons.
Not only in this decade has the pop
ulation been practically stationary,
but for several. The second fact is
that in 1890 well over half, or fifty
five per cent, of the population was
under twenty years of age. This is
nearly fifteen per cent higher than
the average for the whole United
States.
What inference can be drawn
from these two facts-a near sta
tionary population and very large
proportion of children? Just this:
Ashe County is losing too many of
its young people. Ashe County
raises them and then their produc-
tive years are spent elsewhere. This
is steady drain on the County.
Many Of the boys and girls who
have gone out from the County have
made good conspicuously. To men
ton names Is to mention the names
of leaders in their respective walks
of life, in many instances.
This does not mitigate the fact,
however, while other sections have
been enriched, Ashe County has
been impoverished by this migra-
ton composed, in part, of some Of
its finest young people.
The first step, therefore, that
should be taken in the County is to
realize that the '.fields" are not
"1greener" anywhere else; that Ashe
County provides a splendid oppor-
tunity for abundant living; and that
young people have here great
opportunity for creative living. In
other words, am advocating stay
at-home policy.
The second step is, in reality,
several steps for the improvement
of the economic status of the Coun-
| ty.
Recent events indicate we are
headed in the right direction to in
! crease the wealth of the County: An
Horticultural Demonstration Agent
has been secured, and the Dairy

STORY OF MILFORD TOLD
In NEW STATE HISTORY
@Delaware-A Guide To The First
State" Is Interesting

The story of Milford's rise from
its beginning in 1887, when Parson
Sydenham Thorne and Joseph Oliver
laid out North Milford, to its present
development as an agricultural and
manufacturing center of Importance,
is graphically told in "Delaware-A
Guide to the First State" compiled
by the Federal Writer'S Project and
recently published. As one of the
largest towns in the State, Milford
has 10 pages In the book, including
two photographs and a double-page
map drawn from the best surveys
obtainable.
Now for the first time a clear,
complete and readable picture of
Milford has been made available not
only to residents and their visiting
friends but also to persons and bus
mess firms throughout the nation
who may be interested in moving to
a little city whose population In
creased 3S per cent between 1920
and 1880. As the Guide points out,
there is something about Milford
that keeps 1t going forward active
ly and prosperously.
First it was grist and lumber mill
ing at the dam built by Parson
Thorne across the head of the Mis-
pillioE. Then followed long golden
age of shipping and shipbuilding,
when merchants like Governor eau
sey grew wealthy on the grain. tim
Der, peaches, iron ore and other pro-
ducts that went down the Mispillion
on sailing vessels built at Milford
out of Delaware white oak. The COM
ing Of George S. Grier from Eng
land resulted in more prosperity
from his iron foundry and his man

machinery that he Invented.

HIGHWAY CLEANLINESS
IS GROWING PROBLEM
Engineer Mack Says Smaller Towns
Not Equipped To Handle Rubbish

Keeping the Delaware highways
clean continues TO be a problem
that is proving bothersome in some
sections of the State, according to
W. w. Mack, Chief Engineer Of the
State Highway Department, who
finds that the trouble exists largely
because Of the lack Of cooperation
IN the matter of rubbish disposal in
some sections Of the State.
As the fall and winter seasons ar
rive, and the foliage disappears
from the bushes and trees, the prac-
tice OF deposftins rubbish along the
public highways will add consider
ably to keeping the highways clean,
according to Mr. Mack.
Lack of facilities in some of the
smaller towns for rubbish disposal
is blamed largely, by Highway De-
partment officials, for the accepted
practice followed by some residents
of these towns in taking their rub
bish and tossing it from their cars
as they proceed over the highways.
Experience has demonstrated to
the State Highway Department that
this rubbish, when tossed from the
cars, will bound around and fire.
