Lack Of Farm Garden
Costs Macon $14,560
Farm people of Macon county
rob their pocketbooks; as well as
their health, when they fail to
grow a garden, says L; P. Watson,
extension horticulturist of N. C.
State college. To prove his point,
the, agricultural leader presents the
. following facts and figures :
The 1940 census showed that
2083 farms in this county had a
garden, but 160 farms iro the coun
ty did not have a garden. The
value of all the farm gardens in
the county, as estimated t6 the
census-takers by the farm people
themselves, .' -totaled $189,910. That
is an average value per garden of
$91.
By multiplying the average val
ue per. garden by, the number of
.farms without a garden, it can be
seen that the loss to the coumty
due to the failure of every farm
family . to have a garden totaled
$14,460.
, Watson reported that the State
totals show that $1,868,940 was lost
by North Carolina farm people be
cause of a lack of gardens.
The Extension horticulturist says
that the -vegetables which can be
grown in a half-acre garden would
cost the farm housewife $225 if
bought of vegetables for one per
son. A family ' of five, therefore,
would need half an acre for garderi
crops. . : '
Clark's Chapel Bell
Ding I Dong! Listen to the peal
of "Chapel Bell" as it brings some
news about our school.
The two Literary Societies gave
a Thanksgiving program last Wed
nesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Each child answered the roll call
with a statement telling something
for which he was thankful.
We had the first copy of our
paper, "Chapel Bell", ready and it
was read during the program.
After the program some of the
girls served cookies and coca. The
cookies were furnished by Mrs.
Alice' Ray, Mrs. Charlie Wooten,
and Mrs. Ruby Varshook.
, We have our supplementary read
ers now and are planning to do
better work in reading. . " ;
We are glad to say that the
children in each room have been
-enrolled in the Junior Red Cross,
We thinJc the badges are very
pretty and we are proud to wear
them showing' that we are . trying
to do our -bit. v
