LECUME PRICE

G. D. White Suggests Buy
ing Northern Potato
Seed This Spring
By C. ID. WHITE
County Agent

From all indications, the price
of soybeanS, cowpeaS, lespedeza'
etc, will be high this spring. This
is due to two things, first the
drouth Of last year. and the soil
conservation program. wholesale
prices now arc rs high as retail
prices of last year. so one can
readily see that retail prices this
spring will naturally be high. Buy
now if you can find any of these
seed at reasonable price.
Buy Northern potato seed tins
spring. Due to the drouth of last
year very few good potatoes were
grown in Henderson county. In
fact. | don't believe that we have
any seed grown in the county that
should be used. Since growing a
potato crop is expensive, let's get
the best seed possible. and these
are Northern grown Certified.

are many systems of supplying
water in the farm homc-electric
pumps. gas engines, windmills,
hydraulic rams, and the gravity
system. The most simple is the
pump installed by the kitchen
sink. the pump drawing water
from the well or the cistern.
With thousands Of miles of ru-
raj power lines already set up in
North Carolina and with thou
stands more planned, many farm
homes will be able to have cleo
tricity pump their water.
A deep-well pump driven by
an electric motor will assure the
farm owner of an ample supply
of fresh water at all times, Miss
Gordon pointed out. The system
should be reliable in operation,
simple in design, and reasonably
low in initial cost and operating
expense.

An adequate system in which the
santa. engineering principles are
carried out is one of the greatest
safeguards of health on the farm.
Impure water is often the cause
of many diseases common to AMI

The first question that pops up
when running water is being dis
cussed is, show much will 1T cost
To install such q system" What
ever it may cost. said the home
management specialist, many farm
owners say they cannot afford
such an installation.
Yet. continued Miss Gordon, on
the same farm there will be a
reaper, q harrow, plows, tractors,
and other pieces of equipment
which represent an investment OF
hundreds and sometimes thou
stands of dollars. In many cases,
some of this equipment is used
only a few weeks each year.
"The owners thought nothing
of the investment represented in
the farm equipment" declared the
specialist, land even less of de-
probation of the equipment since
most of it is not kept in shelters.
GOOD INVESTMENT
IF you do not have an abun-

farm owners over the state. you

have a water system installed on

In many instances the failure
to have an adequate water supply

Reached CrOSSrOdd

I'm February, 1884, the HOuS-
ing Division reached crOSSrOad.
It had to choose one of two
courses. 1t could heed the lugu-
briOuS chant of those who regard
any progressive act of the Gov
ernment as unwarranted inter
ference with private affairs and
could lay the corpse with apprO-
pirate eulOgieS to the memory
of another lost cause. Or it
could reaffirm its conviction that
the provision of decent housing
for IOw-incOme workers must be
guaranteed by whatever means
and proceed to develop those
means in the most effective and
expeditions manner. The latter
course was laid before my con-
nectiOn with the division. COnSe-
quentIy, can express without
reservation my opinion of the
choice. I am convinced that it
was one of the outstanding steps
in social progress effected during
this century in our country"
And so PWA tossed the limited
dividend idea into the ash can ano
began itself to build housing prof
ectS wherever it thought they were
needed.
And out of it all, for the 131
million dollars set aside for con
struction of low-rent housing by
PWA, as a Federal project, has
come this record:
Out of 95 projects recommended
to the President, 81 have been ap
