There are approximately 400,000 farm families in North Carolina and less than half of these families keep A sow. Tens ot thousands of therrr have no garden, except pos sibly a cabbage or collard patch and turnip patch. Thousands of them do not even raise sweet po tatoes and Irish potatoes for their own use nd other thousands do not keep .chickens. In face of .this situation the peo ple of. North Carolina are finding It necessary to send to other states for food And food products more then $100,000,000 each year.

Slashing of from $.ri0,000,000 to $0,000,000 from tlie war department's budget for the new fiscal year, as reported to be the plan of the house appro priations sub-committee, will mean decrease of at least one third of the number of nrmv forts, posts, flying fields and training camps of this country. Secretary of War Weeks said here today. In discussing the proposal. Sec retary Weeks said It would be im possible, tflth. a force of only 100,- iivu men, to properly man these forts, camps and fields even with n sufficient number sW drill a squad. " Ho said there are 260 forts, posts, flying fields and cams In the f ount proper, and 40 outside of the country, and that to reduce the army by 22,000 men and 1.900 officers, as reported to be the plan, will make It a mathematical Im possibility to keep all the posts, forts, csmps and fields In opera tion. Likewise, he pointed out that If the proposal Is adopted, it will mean that those flying fields wmcn are nearer to large posts and forts will be the onos to be retained and the others will have to be aband ned. The secretary declared that rep resentatives and senators would vote for a 'big army reduction and then use all their Influence to havei particular forts, or posts, or camps or fields, as1 the case may be which are In. their districts, retained. "The member of congress who votes to make the cut beyond what we think It ought to bo should not complain It t.ie deeartment finds; It necessary to abandon a fort a post, field or camp which happens to be In his district," said the sec retary. He declared he "has had his say" and would not appear again before the appropriations sub-committee unless specifically request ed so to do. "It Is not my army, it belong to the people, and If they want to make the cut they har. the right to do so," was his comment.
