1. ^WASHINGTON j WHAT IS TAKING PLACE BY ii Whatever may be said for or against relief expenditures by the Federal Government, there is am ple evidence that the projects un dertaken have been extremely beneficial to state* and communi ties. It Is only necessary to re view the relief program in North Carolina to find this evidence. Unfortunately, perhaps too much dtress has beeu laid on expendi tures rather than the benefits gained. Up to the first, of October lust, more than 136,000.000 was spent on 2.472 W. P. A. projects in North Carolina. These projects in clude highways, roads and streets, public buildings, parks and re creational facilities, conservation work, sewer systems and other utilities, airports and . a variety of others. It is estimated that up to Nov ember. 75.880.718 hours of em ployment were given to North Carolinians and their earnings amounted to approximately $20 000,000. During the latter part' of February 28,804 persons were re ceiving W. P. A. work in the state and it is planned to increase theso rolls during March by about 5. S00 workers. Naturally.- all concerned with the work-relief program are hope ful that the time will come when business and industry can provide employment for those now on the W. P. A. rolls. The Federal Gov ernment can do much to bring this time nearer by encouraging business expansion through sound taxation policies and cooptfaftng with private enterprises. fror so long as we continue to have wide spread unemployment-. some form of relief activity may be a'nticipat ?d The so-called white collar pro jects. designed to employ profes sional technical and clerical work er?, such as teachers, architects and nurses, constitute less than ten per cent of the projects iu North Carolina. Thirty-two per cent of the projects have been in connection with the building of highways, roads, streets and pub He buildings. The procedure has been for projects proposed to be reviewed by district and state W. P. A administrators and then iu the W. P A. offices here in Wash ington before the projects are fin ally approved. There is much reason for the belief that the pending tax bill will have an important effect on W. P A. activities. If the undis tributed and capital gaius taxes now iu effect are preventing busi ness aud industry from expand ing and creating new jobs; as busi ness and industrial leaders say. ?Vpeal or drastic modification of th^se levies should prove helpful The result may be uew fields of employment and less ueed for re lief expenditures. "~ It is certumlv significant that W. P A. employment during the ?week ending October SO. 1S>37. was 1S.S4! or nearly 10.000 be .ow employment during the last week of February, this year. And as has already been stated. March will see a further increase iu the relief rolls in North Carolina. As a result, all members of Congress are watching the economic trends with the hope that spring will bring a decided upturn in busi ness, activity aud employment. Judging by the chatter of pres ent day politicians, ^te are left to belieTe that Thomas - Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party, failed to have the original plat form copyrighted.

News Observer) Louisburg. March 5.? A bit-tor attack on the proposed farm con trol bill here today broke up a meeting of 200 farmers who had assembled to hear H. A. Patten of the Stale College exclusion service explain the measure After Patten had given a de tailed explanation ?f the proposed method of limiting marketing of cotton and tobacco. William \V. Neal of Fraukliti County bom barded the speakers with ques tions and finally broke into a wild tirade against production control. One farmer shouted. "Shut up " Another yelled. "Sit down." Neal attempted to quiet the audience, but failed County Ageiit K. J. Morgan pleaded with the growers to give every man a chance to express himself. Xeal. however, "drew immediate reaction as be re commenced. . A lean, red-faced farmer asked him. "Are you a. farmer?" Xeal r< - plied that he was. "Well, if all we farmers were like you. wouldn't it be a shame and disgrace?" the farmer shout ed. Neal took his seat temporar ily XT' When he reifpeii.d his argu ment. another grower asked him. "Did you make any money in 1*31 and Neal admitted that lie didn't Did you make any mone.v in 1934 and since then?" the ques tioner continued Neal said he did make sonir money in those years. .-"Well, what are >ou kicking' about now" " w.is the retort ' Scut intent Divided ?Most of the farmers walked out before the opponent of the mea surehad finished speaking. Neafl however, had some following. Three men shook his hand and congratulated him after the crowd had dispersed The opposition the bill was based on the fact that growers do not know the content of the bill Neal attacked the Department of Agriculture, the State College ex tension service and county agents in general for not providing fann ers with copies of the bill. He called it an "atrocity" and "tlie mulatto brother of the old AAA." Patten explained that sufficient copies of the bill to so around had not been printed in Washing ton and that extension workers were holding county-wide meet ings for the purpose of giving Tinners a simpler understanding of the measure than they would obtain from t^ie legislative phra seology of the law itself. Explan atory bulletins furnished by the l". S. Department of Agriculture were distributed to the' farmers present. County and community commit teemen of Nash and Franklin counties met here this morning to receive instructions from Mr. Patten on holding the cotton and tobacco referenda March 12. County Agent Morgan said lie believed Fran-klin County would favor the marketing quotas by a majority of SO to 85 per cent -County Agent J. S. Sugg of Nash vilU said. "From all appearances. Nash County's majority for the bill will be SO per cent of the voting growers." ? Mindful nf t lie ut-ed (or home grown fresh fruit.

Under the heading, "Money In Chicks." the Carolina Co-opera tor, farm journal published at Raleigh, gives these interesting comparison: One hen lays 150 eggs. One egg sell for 1 Ho. 150 eggs sell for $2.25. 400 hens on one acre yield $900.? One acre tobacco yields 1,000 lbs. One pound sells for 25c. 1,000 lbs. sells for $250. One acre cotton yields 50U?Abs. One pound sells for 10c. 500 lbs. sell for $50. "If you myst plant a money crop," summarizes the Carolina Co-operator, "why not the hen crop, which is edible. Eggs and chickens are good to taste and very nourishing, and an excellent money crop to boot." M. L. and J. V. Parker, of Rich mond County, have thinned 20 acres of pine trees this winter and plan to thin an additional 30 acres.
