This growth was haphazard. What happened was that when a job needed to be done,' an agency was hurriedly Set up by executive order, or created by Congress. We are now paying for all these mistakes. On July 7, 1947, Congress au thorized, by unanimous vote, the launching of the greatest effort yet made to plan an efficient, eco nomical government reorganiza tion. With the approval of Presi dent Truhian, a bi-parti.^an, twelve- man conimission, headed by former President Hoover, was c.stablishcd. This Commission found many dis couraging examples of the confur sion in our government machinery, and has made concrete suggestions to correct these ills. As matters stand, when you at tempt to deal with your govern ment, you will find 34 agencies en gaged in obtaining land, 10 in Fed eral construction work, 9 in credit and finance and 50 in gathering statistics. A rancher desiring to pasture his livestock on public lands must obtain separate per mits, each containing different terms and conditions, from both the Department of Interior and the Department of Agriculture. The Army Engineers and the Reclamation Bureau cost the tax payers untold millions of dollars through duplication of effort on water resources development. As an instance of this wasteful dupli cation, the Hungry Horse Project in Montana was estimated to cost $6,300,000. The actual cost was $93,600,000. In New Orleans, there are 6 Fed eral hospitals operated separately by different branches of the gov ernment. Their joint capacity is 1,620 beds. When surveyed, they had a total of 913 patients.

Get your neighbors to work with yon in this crusade. Predictions that the boll -weevil win be highly destructive again this year in North Carolina’s cot ton producing counties, imless there is considerable cold weather before spring, were made here Tuesday by agricultural speciad- ists. A number of agricultural ex perts, headed by F. F. Bondy, en tomologist of the U. S. Depart-, ment of Agriculture, spoke here during the day at one of a series of district extension meetings be ing held throughout the state, chiefly for farm agents and their assistants. All phases of the cot ton program were discussed. Damage caused to North Caro lina’s cotton crop last year was estimated to have been between 25 and 30 million dollars. Great er part of this loss -was caused by the boll weevil..^^ but some other factors figured in the damage. During the meeting winners of the Five-Acre Cotton contest in District II for 1949 were announc ed and each was presented an award. •' Floyd Cameron, 15-year-old negro 4-H club boy of Biumlevel route^l, was named 'winner of the contest in District H, which includes Cumberland county. The Harnett county youth produced 4,265 poimds of lint cotton on his five-acre plot, for an averse of 859 pounds per acre. Runners-up in the district con test were G. S. McArthur of Scot land county, -with a yield of 761 pounds of lint cotton per acre; and M. E. Thornton of Harnett county, with a yield of 746 pounds per acre. N. C.
