The cages will be torn down when the new brick building iswecupied. In the upper left corner is Harvey Williams, camp steward in charge of food, clothing, and similar supplies. Twenty-five bars of soap are allotted the men a week, but this disappears fast, "Captain Harvey" says, because the prisoners mix soap, lye and white potatoes and plaster it on their heads to keep their hair down. Once Captain Harvey related, a fellow got too much lye in his mixture and nearly burnt his scalp off.

Thornton's Texaco Sta tion, Front and Orange Sts., Beau fort.' tf Establish Crop Research Center COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station is establishing a new fruit and vegetable research center (n Henderson County,! Dr. R. W. Cummings, associate direc tor of the Station, announced this week. Designed as a branch of the sta tion, the new center will become a headquarters for studying the di sease, insect, fertilization and plant breeding problems of the Henderson-Transylvania region. The site is a ten-acre truck-gardening plot on the farm of S. R. Cathey, nine miles out of Hendersonvile on the Jefferees Road in the, Mills River community. At present there are no build ings on the tract, but Dr. Cum mings explains that at least one prefabricated storage - andn - of fice building will be put up soon. While located in a predominantly vegetable region, the new research center will place about equal stress on fruits and vegetables. Most of the fruit Investigations will be car ried on ninn established orchards about 15 to 20 miles away from the headquarters. A committee of Experiment Sta tion specialists from Raleigh, head ed by W. W. Woodbouse, associate professor of agronomy, has been in Hendersonvllle several times this apring to select the site, arrange the lease and begin operations. A local committee recruited by Coun ty Agent D. W. Bennett aided In locating available sites.; ' C. E. Lewis, who graduated from State College in March with de gree in horticulture', has been named supervisor of the farm. Mr. Lewis is a nantive of the vegetable area north of Wilmington. Foremost amonng. the problem to be investigated immediately is that of finding varieties adapted to the Henderson region Although' some small fruit and vegetable breedingn work will be clone at the farm, workers WiU concentrate en testing out new varieties already in existence. .."

They are permitted to have money sent to them by friends or family, as long as the.v have no more than $2 on them at a time.
