Under the huge appropriation act
passed by th last Congress each
State will receive a larg sum of
money for road construction. This
is no gift by the Federal Govern
ment. The Federal Government has
no money to give. The taxpayers
must pay back every cent that is
appropriated with interest and cost
of administration. Hence, the money
should b spent with th greatest eco
nomy, and it should be used where
it is most needed.
This appropriation should be used
to build county roads and neighbor
hood roads. Here is the place of
greatest need, and common justice
demands that the money should be
used here. Since the farmers are tax
ed nearly one hundred per cent on
all the gasoline they use to support
the highways, the government is ob
ligated to provide roads on which
they can reach the highways. An
efficient system of nighborhood roads
should be built before any more
money is spent for the construction
of new highways.

STATE HAS 135,000
RELIEF GARDENS
140 Acres For Relief In
Alleghany County.
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 15—The sub
sistence gardening program which
has been sponsored throughout North
Carolina during the spring and sum
mer months has resulted in the plant
ng and cultivation of approximately
I 70,000 acres in the form of 135,000
ndividual family gardens, according
to information made public today by
Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, director of re
lief.
These gardens have alrady pro
duced 2,729,049 quarts of food and a
careful estimate reveals that approxi- 1
mately 2,775,000 additional quarts
will be harvested before the growing
season ends. Charles A. Sheffield, as
sitant director of the agricultural ex
tension division of State College, who
has supervised these activities under
the general direction of the relief of
fice, states that the market value of
this food is fully $5,000,000. I
The food so produced will be con
sumed by the families cultivating
these 135,000 gardens, thus reducing
to the extent of its value the cost
of food relief during the coming fall
and winter.
“This gardening program has suc
ceeded beyond our most optimistic
predictions,” said Mrs. O’Berry today
in making the facts public. “Our
idea in organizing the movement was
that in the main it would enable all
relief families to produce themselves
a suffcient amount of food for their
own consumption. We also felt that
at the same time these families,
many of whom had not been trained
in the art of cultivating the soil,
would receive a practical vocational
training. We also realized that desti
tute families would never receive the
proper balanced diet of food unless
it was produced. I am happy that all
of these objectives are being realized
as a result of the program,” Mrs.
O’Berry said.
Mrs. O’Berry also stated that the
farming program, because of its so
cial and economic benefits, has been
favorably received throughout the
State. Uublic opinion has supported
pointed out.
the movement unanimously, it was
The planting, cultivation, harvest
ing and canning has been carried on
by means of the active supervision
of the relief administrators in the va
rious counties, aided by the county
farm and home demonstration agents.
Mrs. O’Berry was high in her praise |
of the efforts of Mr. Sheffield for his
general supervision and of the local
persons who have assisted in making
the program such a fine success.
Every county in the State entered
heartily into the program. Wake led
all counties with a total of 5,061 in
dividual gardens. Mecklenburg was
second with 4600. Camden with 183
had the smallest number.
Alleghany County had a total of
562 relief gardens comprising 140
acres.
