Epting Reports
Qn Farm Doings
BY E. E. EPTING
Harold and (Max Cook of
Bachman Chapel community
have already prepared the land
for their winter graze crops
and for additional alfalfa.
T. H. Neel of Chappells is
nearing completion of the dam
for his fish pond.
Heber Leaphart of Stoney
Hill has made three cuttings
of sericea hay from the same
area since early spring.
Jas. T. Wicker of St. Phillips
has prepared land for winter
grazing. He will seed one acre
to fescue and ladino clover and
another to rye grass and crim
son clover.
Willie Ray Suber has 10 acres
of grain-sorghum on the Green
wood road just beyond Domi
nick’s Store. One-half of this
is following a six year stand
of sericea—the other half is
not. A study on the growth
and production of this sorghum
will be interesting.
D. B. Ruff of St. Phillips
successfully combined clover
seed from his ladino-fescue
graze patch this summer.
In North Carolina, whe?
do most of my traveling,
cities and towns have a delighm"
ful way of not giving an out-
of-state cer a ticket for over
time park. ng. So, when I’m
out of my native state, I blithe
ly park by any parking meter,
knowing there won’t be a tic
ket on my car when I return
some six or eight hours later.
I was surprised, therefore,
when I was in Marion, N. C.,
a few weeks ago and came
back to my car which had been
parked in one spot all day, to
see a little white tag on it.
This is the message it contain
ed:
‘Town of Marion, Police
Summons: You have violated
our one-hour ordinance. Since*
you are from another state
there will be no charge foil
this violation. We are gladl
to have you. Come back
again.” This, I thought was
enough to encourage a person
to come back, and I believe
it would be a nice gesture for
our local police force to adopt.
May I suggest a few planks
for the platform of would-be
members of city council?
(1) Traffic light at College
and Harrington Street intersec
tion.
(2) No-Hom-Blowing ordi.
nance in the business district.
(3) No diagonal parking on
Johnstone Street between Col
lege Street and Cald'vell
Streets.
(4) No parking on both sides
of narrow streets, such as
Harrington between College and
Nance, Caldwell between
Boyce and Harrington; Friend
between Caldwell and McKib-
ben.
(5) Removal of the too large
“No Parking” signs on the
sidewalks and replacement
with smaller signs which won’t
be a menace to pedestrians.
(6) Limit the parking time
in space around the Old Court
house. Parking spaces in the
city are much too scarce, and
this would help relieve the sit
uation.
The above six “planks” are
things about which various cit
izens have said to me “why
don’t you write about so-and-
so?” Here they are all at
once. And the would-be may
or or alderman who will prom
ise to at least TRY to get those
things done is the man who
has my vote.
