Says County
Is Rich In
Its History
Mir. Watkins RELATES
Some or Events of Ear
ly Days Of Section
Which Were Impor-
tans; Only One Mark
er IN County.

John B. Watkins, WHO is well
vCr&ed IL matters pertaining to the
early history of Vance county and
this section. says there is only one
State historical marker in the colln-
~. but the reason there are no more
is simply because We have not ask
cd for them" And he added. being
on Route |. it would be easy to get
them"
The series of markers that have
been placed in many parts of the
State have been erected under aus
piceS of the State Department Of
Conservation and Development, with
other agencies cooperating in pre-
pairing the legends.
About 4 year ago, according 10 Mr.
Watkins, one Of the markers was
erected at WILLIAMSBURG at the cross
roads on the Townsville highway.
The reading is as follows: williams
borough, an eighteenth century town,
named for Judge John Williams, who
lived near here"
Mr.. Watkins then Listed the follow
ing events or sites that he thinks
would justify markers:
The Alfred Plummer place at Mid
dleburg was the medical school Of
DR.. Joseph Hawkins in 1903. When
the old house burned in 1923, the
skeletons he used for class work were
in a closet and were burned. The
Carroll place is where Philemon
Hawkins II settled after he married
Della Martin in l743. The family
were rich land owners, and mad a
long political and war record.
Chalk Level, on the northern out
skirts of the city, on Route l, was
where the Richmond-Raleigh and
Halifax-Hillsboro stage coach roads
crossed. Here also were the old
tavern, stores and other buildings. 1t
is near the present fertilizer factory
site.
Ashland, four miles north of Chalk
Level. and the present home OF
Henry White, Henderson attorney, is
the house supposed to have been half
built by Samuel Henderson in 1740,
the remainder of it having been
erected by Archibald Henderson in
1910.
Judge Richard Henderson's grave
is a little more than mile beyond
Ashland. He was a colonel in the
Colonial army, was president OF
Transylvania, once a part OF Ken
lucky and Tennessee, and was other
wise active in public affairs of@thc
time. as shown on the stone erected
by DR.. Archibald Henderson, OF
Chapel Hill.
Hanks grave yard is four miles
from Chalk Level. This is on the
road to the c. Y. Harris store, and

ExtensionAgents HaveWorked
For Diversification Of Crops
On Vance County Farm Lands
Success of Efforts Is
De m nstrate d on
Many Farms Where
Single Cash Crop Has
Been Abandoned in
Favor of Planned
Program.
BY JOSEPHINE RANES,
Assistant Home Demonstration
Agent for Vance County.

The time is ripe when the extern
sion agents of this state and others
could, if they chose, say 81 told you
SOL" to the many, many farm FAM
lilies who have ignored their plea
not to depend on one cash crop or
even two cash crops. Too much rain
and other unavoidable conditions
lave cquallcd ruin for the one-crop
tanner.
The Home Demonstration clubs in
Vance county have heard the home
agents repeatedly stress the import
NICE of diversiGying the sources of
.amily income. The All club mem
)ers have also heard this at their
meetings. The more than 1900 farm
ers have been told time and time
again on their visits to the farm
gents office. Many have taken the
!dVice. Many have learned expen-
sively from experience. But this does
lot include all the farm families.
There is still very large number
who live from one crop to the next
IN credit which is hard to get.
Raising the family food supply is
more important than cash crop.
Parents and children can get by on
last years clothes and small children
IN 'hand-me-doWns", but stomachS,
10 matter how small, get hungry
every day. A good vegetable garden,
The surplus from which is canned or
dried; few fruit trees, pigs, chIch>
ems, and COW is the one answer.
Though income does not refer en-
tlrely to cash, certain amount Of
cash is necessary. With the problem
Of feeding the family taken care OF,
the profit from the cash crops can
be well used for housing, clothing,
health, education, farm Improvement,
and saving.
Curb Market.
Many of the Home Demonstration
club women in this county are ad-
ding to the cash income of the FAM
lily by selling the surplus food rails
ed on their farms al the Curb Mar
ket on Saturdays and Tuesdays.
Many of them raise surplus for this
purpose.
Clifton Fuller is the only man
who sells regularly at the market.
He and Mrs. Fuller began selling at
the market six years ago, but for the
last two years he has been selling
alone. Their income from the mar
ket has made it possible for them to
have a home of their own. This in
come has been sufficient to take care
of all the expenses of living SO that
the profit from cash crops could be
used to build and furnish home.
Miss Virginia Longmire has play
ed big part in defraying the ex-
penses OF her family since 1888 by
selling at the Curb Market. She says
that it requires "A weak mind and
d strong back" However, one doubts
the weak mind part when he learns
that Virginia takes in an average of
$500 to 5000 year by selling two
mornings a week OF course, it also
requires great deal of preparation
at home. Besides selling fresh foods,
she also cans foods TO sell at the mar
kct She averages 1000 quarts d year
for home use and sale Virginia says
