The County Home


We agree witathe Ashe county commits
sioners in not confirming the recent sale
of the county home property for it does
seem that this farm is worth more than
$4,000
Until arrangements are made to pur-
chase smaller home with enough land for
large garden and pasture and thereby
plan to discontinue the present county
home, it IS doubtful if this property will
bring over twelve thousand. The majority
of people do not want to buy lot and
build hqapg 81 their own near a county
The old ideasaAo operating large farm in
connection with county home is as obso-
lete as OK teams and with the various and
sundry social security programs for sup
port of needySaged and dependent child
rem, the county, home itself is becoming
obsolete. County homes have had their
day and have served an effective purpose,
but new!sVHtt AHttQhas been devised and this
system will no doubt become permanent.
In theorysit sounds plausible that good
county home farms could be operated pro-
fitably, b4 q praetce this is not true. One
of the ma jo1r drawbacks is the difficulty
of getting an outstanding farmer to take
charge. Really good farmers prefer to own
and operate theirnown farms.
sit 4nB2 81
Of course, the, suggestion to have county
agents operate the farm as demonstra-
ton farm is good one, but the county ag-
ent, with the vast AAA program already
has more work than he can get done.
AS we see it, the best thing that could be
done with the Ashe county home is to sell
the entire farm to some wealthy person
who wants to develop an outstanding grass
and cattle farm and to purchase smaller
place for the county home.

Flowers In Ashe

Flower growers who live in Ashe are
indeed fortunate; for here wide variety
of plants and shrubs can be grown super
ior to those found in many other sections
The fertile soil, the high altitude and cool
climate are natures gifts to the gardeners
who want to grow something really beauti
full
Dahlias, gladioli and many other spring
and summer flowers reach high state of
perfection here and even an amateur can
achieve pleasing results.
There is something about the hobby of
growing flowers that brings lot of pleas
ure and satisfaction. Nothing is more graft
flying than to walk out in the yard or gar
den and cut all the blossoms you need for
your home and for your friends, as well.
There are many expert flower growers in
Ashe who afford themselves this pleasure.
If you have small plot of ground and lit
tie time, join their ranks. You will be amply
rewarded.
On Saturday the Womans club will spon-
sor a flower show which should be we'll
worth seeing, for in spite of the dry weather
many of the flowers are now at their best.
Attend the show and see what Ashe flower
lovers have to show for themselves. 1t
should be an inspiration.

Improvement Needed

Judging by sentiment as reflected in the
Rotary clubs movement to get the state
utilities commission to assist in making the
telephone company improve its service
here, there seems to be complete and I'M
animous dissatisfaction among the patrons
with the present service rendered.
The extensive delay in getting long dis
lance calls completed and the difficulty
of hearing on long distance calls seems to
be the primary object of complaint.
AS pointed out in the Rotary club pet
ton, there is only one toll line from the
Jeffersons to the outside world. All out
going and incoming calls have to travel
over this line. With a total of 1854 phones
in service, serving over $4,000 people, it is
only natural that some time is required to
"get calls through.
Like in barber shop all long distance
calls have to await their turn and there
may be several ahead of YOU. Further
more, during recent months it has been ra-
ther apparent that precedence is given to
incoming calls

Tense activities as the excuse.
Local patrons also contend that the sys-

equipment discarded for newer and more
modern types
Patrons in Sparta seem to be confront

one outside line and are also dissatisfied.
