Food Production by Prisoners

North Carolina's prison depart
ment has canned, so far this
season, fruits and vegetables
valued at $65,000.
The prison system is now pro-
.ducing about 80 per cent of its
vegetable requirements. Most of
the vegetables are grown on
prison farms at Whiteville, White
Lake, Burgaw, and Goldsboro.
The fresh produce is trucked to
the cannery Immediately after
being gathered. A major pro-
portion of the canning is done
at Caledonia Farm, Creswell,
and Carthage. The woman's pris-
on at Raleigh and some of the
road camps are also raising veg
etables and putting up food.
Right now the prison depart
ment canneries are processing
large quantities of peaches
bought at 81 a bushel. 1t is ex-
pected that 100000 gallons of
peaches will be canned. The can
ming of apples will begin in the
fall.
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1951-08-03

of it be changed from Bugg's
Island to Kerr. There is no doubt
whatever that, if the dam were
in North Carolina, the change
would be made promptly and
without protest. But among Vir-
ginians there has developed con-
siderable opposition to naming
for a North Carolina Congress-
man a dam that is in Virginia.
One objection that ! see to the
proposed change is that most
people would pronounce the new
name wrong. The correct pro-
nunciation is Car, but everybody
who sees Kerr in print, and is
not acquainted with the Kerr
family, naturally calls it Cur,
and if the dam were renamed
Kerr the great majority Of people
in the country would call it the
/ Cur dam.
| While there is precedent for
honoring individuals by naming
dams for them, a list of the dams
in the United States shows that
there is still stronger precedent
for retaining old place names. A
few examples: the Grand Coulee
dam in Washington, the Green
Mountain and the Dixon Canyon
dams in Colorado, the. Wolf
Creek dam in Kentucky, and the
Hiwassee, Fontana. and Nanta-
hala dams in North Carolina.
Myself, ! do not like the idea Of
abandoning old place names, and,
anyway, Bugg's Island dam has
a more distinctive sound, more
individuality and atmosphere,
than Kerr dam.
But probably the reaction of
the great majority of people who
have been reading about this con-
troversy in the newspapers is
that it makes dam little differ
ence what name the dam has.
