"The ; works progress adminis
tration is opening many mountain
roads and making them passable
in all sorts of weather where no
statistics in terms of miles would
show the commensurate benefits,
for many roads are rendered im
passable in bad weather either by
improper drainage or perhaps by
one small section of the road which
is bad. In many such places we
have repaired the offending spot,
and , where ' necessary have dug
drainage ditches or graded' the
road, thus by rebuilding a fraction
of a mile making the entire length
of the road useable at all times, y
Farm-to-market road projects
are perhaps the most important
and far-reaching of those carried
on by the WPA. The Grange, the
Farm Bureau Federation, and prac
tically ev.ery other agricultural
group in North Carolina have urg
ed their construction. '

Our Bird Friends
In Winter
It is easy ; to have birds about
your yard in winter, if you want
them, whether you live in town or
country. In The Progressive Farm
er Alexander Sprunt, noted writer
on' nature subjects, gives the folr
lowing definite instructions about
how to attract bird neighbors:
' "To bring birds to your yard,
you must provide them with food.
A feeding table should be at least
three or- four feet high. Place it in
a reasonably sheltered spot but not
too near shrubbery where a lurk
ing cat may crouch. Any simple
board attached to an upright stake
will do, for the birds are not par
ticular. "A pocket bird guide, a pencil,
and a notebook will be a wonder
ful combination to the invalid and
it will amaze all concerned to see
how the, list of visitors to the feed
ing table will grow, day by day.
The spreading of the table means
little--a few crumbs, some grain, a
piece of suet, and you have provid
ed a sumptuous banquet. Sunflow
er v seed, cracked corn, wheat, and
the like make excellent attractions
for the feathered boarders and
crumbs are welcomed as well."
