BOBO TO SUPERVISE
MILL GARDEN WORK
An agreement has been reached be
tween officials of the County Welfare
Board and W. C. Bcbo, manager of
the Pisgah Mills, whereby the Board
will supply the mill with 40 packages
of seed which Mr. Bobo will distribute
among the needier families of the cot
ton mill section and see that the seeds
are grown.
Mr. Bobo has agreed to supervise
the work, have the gown turned^ the
seeds planted and the crops tended.
It is expected that this measure will i
relieve the welfare board of support
ing needy families during the next
winter.
Members of the board are eager to
see a large number of gardens plant
ed this year in order that the number
of needy may be greatly reduced.
They believe that if the people would
plant gardens and can a quantity of
food, the need would be limited to
such articles as cannot be grown.
