Goldsboro to Have Convention.

Chapel Hill Especially. - Plans are
now under way for tie Twelfth Annual
North Carolina Drainage Convention,
to be held at Goldsboro, April rs and
q, under the auspices of the North
Carolina Geological and Economic Sur.
vey and the North Carolina Drainage
association.
One OF the chief subjects that will
be discussed will be the providing for
the interests and principal OF drain
age bonds. This is very important
subject to those interested in drainage
districts at the present time. for 1t Is
realized that any default of interest or
principal has not only a serious effect
upon the district In question, but in
reality upon all drainage districts in
the state. The attorney general OF the
state has been invited to attend the
convention and to discuss with the
sheriffs of the counties and with the
drainage district commissioners the
duties they are called upon TO per-
form under the North Carolina drain
age law.
Another subject which should be OF
interest to everybody in North Caro-
lima is Developing the Small Barm, =
and some very valuable suggestions on
this subject will be offered.
1t is earnestly hoped that sheriffs
of counties, drainage districts COM
missioners and drainage engineers
will make their plans to attend this
convention and assist in working out
plans that will make the drainage
work in this state more effective than
It ever has been before.

Live Stock Value Shows Decrease.

A Il per cent decrease in the value
OF all live stock in North Carolina
since January l. 1921, Is reported by
the Crop Reporting Service.
The value per head Of horses, which
in 1920 was $l56 and in 1921 $l25, has
decreased to sos, making the total
number of horses on farms in North
Carolina worth $17,9270OO. This is a
decrease of S2,S22,O0O since January
LIST, last year, when the number, on
farms, was the same as at present.
The number of mules, of all ages,
was SO per cent compared to those
on farms last year and the value per
head declined from $156 on January l.

The aggregate value OF $33, 900 is a
decline of $16191O00 since January
1920, when the number on farms
(257 ,000) was the same as this year.
The increase in milk cows from

was accompanied by an almost 4 per
cent decrease in the number of other
cattle. Swine also showed an increase
in number from 1,246,000 to 1,350O00.
This increase indicates the interest
paid to food and food producing AMI
mails on the farms in North Carolina.
The fight waged on hog cholera is
showing results in the number OF
healthy hogs on hand. The value per
head Of all farm animals has shown
marked decrease since last year.
1.-THE decrease in the value Of .arm
stock should not necessarily add to
the hue and cry of hard times, for they
are remarkably coincident with the re-
ported averages of all other states
of the nation" comments W. Fl.
Rhodes of the Crop Reporting Ser

of farms in 1922 with those in 1921

Lucas to Direct Garden Campaign.

Lucas to Direct Garden campaign.
Machinery for putting over Cover
nor Morrison's campaign to bring
North Carolina farmers to the point
where they will "live at home was
definitely set in motion when the Gen.
trail Committee consisting of the ex-
ecutive heads Of the State Department
OF Agriculture, the State College, the
Department of Education and the De-
partment of Health held conference
with John Paul Lucas of Charlotte,
who will act as executive secretary
OF the committee and will direct the
campaign.
Mr.. Lucas will open an office and
Immediately begin the task of perfect
ing the organization and working out
the details for an intensive campaign
In which the assistance OF every pos
sible agency in North Carolina will be
sought to make the movement effec-
tive. Not only the press of the state
but all agencies under the direction Of
the several departments represented
on the central committee, the wom-
ems clubs, canning clubs and other
organizations will be called upon for
active participation in the work.
The object of the movement, II is
emphasized, is not to promote COM
mercial trucking, pork production or
dairying but TO induce every farm
family in North Carolina to produce
as nearly as possible its whole living
upon the farm through the cultivation
of more and better gardens, the keep
ing OF one or more cows for each fam
lily, the production at home Of ample
poultry products and the raising of
sufficient hogs to provide meat for the
family throughout the year.
THE work which is proposed" de-
clared Mr.. Lucas "is similar in many
respects to the work which was car
ried on by the North Carolina Food
Commission during the spring and
y inner of 1917. The difference is
this in 1917 II was a matter Of po-
litical necessity. The work was de-
signed to help win the war. The work
proposed at this time is not to win
a war for the nation but to win eco
nomic independence for North Caro-
\ lima.

MARKED INCREASE
IN PEN|TENT|ARY
THRICE AS MANY WHITE MEN
ARE BEING BROUGHT TO
PRISON AS NEGROES.
INCREASE OF ESQ SINCE JULY
Superintendent Pou Theories That It
10 the Result Of an Increase
In Crime.
Raleigh.

Applying the smoke and fire theory
to the states prison, Superintendent
George Ross Pou thinks that the %
per cent increase In the population
of that institution during the last six
months is definite indication OF an
increase in crime and criminals.
Convictions of murder, highway
robbery, larceny, burglary and a
dozen other felonies since last July
have caused an increase In the
number of prisoners at the peniten-
tiary of 260. When Mr.. Pou became
Superintendent the total number OF
corEicts was 725, whereas his records
: at this time show 9S5 men are in
the prison here and in the various
carrps over the state.
And thrice as many white men are
being brought to the prison as me-
groes. Not more than go per cent OF
the convicts sent here in recent
months are physically able to work.
Apparently, the counties are keeping
the able.bodied men for road work
and sending the states prison those
who would be unable to work for their
upkeep.
The state makes no appropriation
for the prison. The authorities are
supposed to hire out the convicts and
support the institution from the re-
turn Of their labors. With the increase
in the enrolment, prison camps have
been established in various parts OF
the state and prisoners are playing an
important part in carrying on North
Cardinals road construction program
