The agricultural specialist al
so told the buyers that some
farmers in North Carolina gross
ed Sl4O0 per acre on yams dur
ing 1858 and that there was no
reason why the average gross
shouldn't have been at least
$500 per acre.
THE soil, climate, know-how
and geographical location is
such that North Carolina has a
tremendous advantage in the
yam industry" he said.
He pointed out to the buyers
that when farmers produce 300
bushels of yams per acre, they
have only Sl.08 per bushel in
their crop when it is sold on the
market but when the yield is
only 100 bushels per acre, they

County Schools
will Get Driver
Training Course

Many Columbus County auto
mobile owners were wondering
today what happened TO the ext
IA dollar that was being paid
Tor license tags.
II marks the second year the
additional one dollar fec has
been collected.
Actually the extra buck is
carmarkcd for driver education
classes in every county of North
Carolina.
DR.. Ross Williamson, chair
man OF the Columbus COUNTY
Board Of Education, shed some
hight on the subject today when
re revealed that plans callel
Tor setting up driver training
classes throughout the county
next Year.

as its share of the added GoIls.
license, fee in 1858. They will
rect y s2pToximai's IT, -~.or
amount from the 1853 tag sales.
I'VE didn't feel that the orig
iHal appropriation was sufficient
to establish these driving train
ing courses throughout the CO.
unity. When the additional mon
cy Is received from this wears
tag sales We will make provI-
SionS for Introducing the driver
training courses countrywide
next year." said DR.. Williamson.
There are - schools, 10 white.
and 3 colOred, that will benefit
from the program next year.
DIR. Williamson pointed out
that establishing the program
would require the purchase of
four automobiles and hiring GER

York serves about 1874 people. Pei
person, our roads are longer, ouI
goods have to be hauled farther
TO reach the consumer. Our share
in the ordinary public necessities
is greater, and hence our taxes are
high.
we can go two ways Murray
said. eve can complain and do
nothing; we can even cut taxes if
we curtail government services.
We can shrink our state govern
ment down to the size it had in
Territorial days, if necessary -
and if we are willing to take the
consequences. We can stop build
ing highways and schools, elimin-
ate u forestry and wildlife pro-
iects, abolish the Highway Patrol,
the University System and the
State Board Of Barber Examiners,
and put the tax difference in our
pockets.
COR. on the other hand, we car
do something constructive. There
are many good examples in the
state to follow. We can give our
support to important and widely
publicized meetings or conven-
tons. We can look closely at our
local economy, and find ways to
develop and improve it, as is being
done in Butte. We al support our
local industries. We can help Mon
tana by intelligent planning and
participation in its economy,
rather than by expecting Mon
tana to do things for us. And fin
ally, we can stop being afraid of
Montana's future, climb out of u
shells and take a good look at a
state rich in mineral, agricultural,
forest and recreational resources
until we all believe, as l person
ally do, that it would take a long
time to find a state with greater
potential than our own"
He added, "As Our state grows
and develops a more diversified
economic base, and as we all put
forth our best efforts to create a
climate of invitation and welcome
to new business, we will find that,
more and more, our state will be-
come what we wish it to be, and
what it should be - prosperous
and stable and a good place to
live in"
