Permits were granted to Ebert

Several complaints about dogs
running at large were presented
but council took no official action.
Two requests for water and sewer

Hanover Street Bridge over the
PatapscO River at Baltimore.
During the first world war he was
assigned to the Hayward
Company at Baltimore in the manu-
facture of artillery ammunition and
later when the shipping shortage
became acute, he was reassigned TO
the Baltimore Drydock and Ship
building Corporation of Baltimore
to help expedite the construction
and launching Of twenty large
tankers and freighters.
He went to North Carolina in
1921 and since that time has been
engaged in the location of high
ways and bridges, the procurement
of rights of way and the adjustment
of damage claims throughout that
state.
In addition to his other duties
with the North Carolina Highway
Department he has, since 1884,
handled the engineering and right
of way acquisition on the famous
Blue Ridge Parkway which extends
for more than $50 miles through
North Carolina to reach the south
ern terminus of the highway that
will connect the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park in Virginia and the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park in North Carolina.
Due to the fact that until recent
ly the State of North Carolina was
inadequately mapped, Mr.. Brown
ing found it necessary to walk over
nearly all of the highway surveys
made by his department. He has
also made several inspections on
foot of the entire route of the Blue
Ridge Parkway which attracted ma
ton wide interest when described
in a feature story in the Saturday
Evening Post. His new assignment
will include the completion of the
Blue Ridge Parkway and consulta-
lions with his associates in the
State Highway Organization. His
headquarters will continue TO be at
Raleigh.

NITROGEN USE PAYS

One North Carolina youngster
has proved to his dad that it pays
to use plenty of nitrogen on corn.
Jones Negro County Agent
Fletcher Barber says that Ebert
Brown, All member of Route /,
Trenton, has shown his father that
more nitrogen will pay.
Barber relates that young Brown
has a plot of corn in a field with
his father. The entire field was
cultivated, planted with the same
seed, and fertilized in the same
manner. However, Brown per-
suaded his father to let him U.S.
more nitrogen on his plot.
According to Barber, the corn
in the plot stayed greener longer,
and nearly every stalk has two
well matured ears. The older
Brown is now convinced that the
extra corn produced will pay the
cost of the extra nitrogen used.
