remarkable showing which they made
at the Waterville Fair. This club
carried off eight out Of twenty-one

ing the right spirit and are getting
results which should make some of
the older farmers interested in the
work.

FARMERS DISSATISFIED

From a queSll"nna'rc sent "ui ~ me
Postofftce Department 10 which over A.
600 answers were returned. X appears
that q great many farmers OF the | NJ
led States are dissatisfied with present
conditions. Many OF them contemplate.
eiEher leaving the farm or curtaiIInS
production They claim that their
nroducts do not brink high enough
prices. Too much Of the prort - All
,sorbed by the middle man. and higher
wages and better living conditions OF
the city are constantly luring away
their help and making farm work cost
her and more difficult. The F"Siothce
Dapartment considers the report from
the farmers a menace potential of s"rs-
Gus consequences. and indicative Of
stin higher rising prices Of food. The
complaint Of the farmer is. perhaps. as
lust as that OF any other class of work
ers. The farmer invests very cons'd-
cradle amount OF money III his land lie
CANDLES against the weather and und"r
the best OF conditions does not secure
a large return from his Investment.
However. this is not time FOR any
class OF producers TO consider lower
ing production. The world needs more
food products. II needs more Of every
useful article. and men who deliberate
lv reduce their productive capacity
harm themselves and make life more
difficult for their fellow men.

TRANSFERRING THE CLERKS

Changes IN the national cabinet no
longer attract very serious attention.
For ,hc past six years cabinet posi-
tion NJ Washington has been about the
most unimportant thing in affairs. Cab
,ner officers have been reduced 70 the
l,.v,l of private secretaries. mere mouth
pieces Of the executive, and changes in
their personnel do not have. and are not
expected 70 have. any effect upon cab
met policy. Professor Houston has
been removed from tho Department Of
Agriculture 20 become the Secretary Of
the Treasury. In any other country,
the office OF Secretary Of the Treasury
would be filled by great financial cX-
pert. In previous administrations. the
secretaryship OF the Treasury had been
held by men acquainted with the great
banking interests. and students Of inter-
national affairs. Under Mr. Wilson. Sec
retari.s are clerks. and the transfer Of
a clerk from the Agriculture Depart

building Many MlIes Of Roads

Five hundred and eight miles Of
gravel and hard surfaced roads, repre-
senting an outlay Of 1882, S236S have
been completed or under construction
by the North Carolina Highway Com
mission, according to figures given out
by Commissioner Frank Page yester
day. The figures include expenditures
for bridges along the various roads un'
der construction.
The total mileage of highways Is
divided among 70 projects in more
than half the counties in the State and
represents work accomplished since
the reorganization OF the commission
under the road measures passed at
the 1919 session Of the general assem'
bly,, except for one bridge in Mecklen'
burg county and several minor
stretches of road which were begun
by the old highway commission.
The average cost per mile for the
1912 miles of hard surfaced roads I'M
der contract and construction is S3l,'
4GS and for the gravel roads $S,495
per mile. The cost or both types or
road has advanced somewhat during
the past few months, nard surfaced
road costing about$40,uW per mile
and gravel roads about $4,000. The
cost of bridges varies widely, depend
ing upon the design and type Of con-
struction.
