PRISON FARM WILL
RAISE MUCH MEAT
Caledonia Going in For
Livestock in Big Way
For Prisoners
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.


Raleigh, Oct. 26.-The prison divis-
ion is going in for livestock in a big
way at Caledonia Prison Farm in
Halifax county, where some 600 pri-
sOnerS work the largest single farm
in North Carolina of more than T.
900 acres, Acting Director Oscar T..
Pitts, of the prison department, said
today In addition to the 1,16O hogs
which have been raised on the farm
and of which between 600 and 700 will
be slaughtered this fall and winter,
the prison division recently purchased
622 young steers in the western part
of the State and are now fattening
these steers on the farm at Caledonia
after these steers have been fat
tened for several months and put on
the proper weight, they will be
slaughtered and the beef used to feed
the prisoners throughout the prison
SYSTEM" Pitts said. 1--WE have found
cattle, fatten them ourselves with the
feed we have on the farm and then
slaughter them, than it is to buy beef
already killed. These 622 steers will
help greatly in reducing our meat
bill through the winter months. The
same is true of the 600 or 700 hogs
we will slaughter to provide fresh
pork for the prisoners"
More than 1000 acres of corn, yield
ing from 40 to so bushels to the acre,
were harvested at Caledonia this fall
and it was found necessary to buy
additional livestock to use this corn
up, in addition to that which will be
ground into corn meal in the mill
there. The prison also has it's own
flour mill at Caledonia, where thous-
ands of bushels of wheat raised on
the farm is ground into flour for use
in the various prison units. Thousands
of bushels of Irish and sweet potatoes
and tons of cabbage, beans, carrots,
and other vegetables are raised on
the farm in order to provide food for
the prisoners. Thousands of gallons
of canned vegetables are put up each
year in the modern canning plant. to
provide vegetables for use during the
winter months. Thousands of dollars
a year are saved as a result of the
food produced on this one prison farm
