crop. Some varieties bear a crop of
runner plants which, if strong, can DO
used for replanting.

give us some idea of the worth
of health facilities.
Let's get back to agriculture
for a moment. Did you realize
that the PIMA, which used to be
the Triple A, has paid to farmers
of Columbus County since it's be.
ginning the sum of two million
eight hundred and seventy-five
thousand, four hundred and 20
dollars and so cents? Did you
know that it will pay out S113,.
1884 in conservation assistance
this year - in 1851? When you
know this, it is easy to see why
Columbus County will approve
this health and agriculture pro.
gram. This one agency will dis
tribute more in just one year
than it will cost to carry out
the agriculture phase of this two
phase program - health and ag-
riculture. Columbus County sees
the long-range need of health
and agriculture, and it is forum
ate that it has the progressive
citizenry to march forward in
this program.
The people of ali communities
can be expected to approve heal
tn and agriculture. Chadbourn
for example, entered 564 patients
in Columbus County Hospital
last year. That, then, is factual
evidence that the people of Chad.
lbourn need health facilities as
proposed in the election on June
I26. The Tabor City trading area
entered 632 patients in the hos
pital in 1850. Then it must be as
sumed that that area is interest
ed ir expanded facilities. The
western section of the County
entered a total of 882 patients.
And similar figures may be
found for the eastern and other
parts of the county. Many OF
those patients would not be alive
today without our hospital.
AS for the needs of agriculture,
there should be no confusion a.
bout the Importance of the agri'
culture building. We want tc
keep the agencies we have to
build a greater agricultural pro-
cram in Columbus County.
The Columbus County Farm
Bureau has over $500 members
in the county. This organization
has consistently over the years
supported the price support pro-
gram which guarantees to far

income as we'll as a right to

This is a health and agricul-
ture program to meet the needs
OF Columbus County in health
and agriculture. These are the
llte-blood of the county - agri-
culture provides the revenue for
a better life and health is a fac
tor without which the better life
cannot be enjoyed.
To develop these phases of hu-
man welfare in the county, it
is proposed that we expand the
health facilities by charging
Columbus County Hospital to a
I84-bed hospital and erecting an
agriculture building, known leg.

First off, let's remind ourselves
that State and Federal funds
will provide Sc percent of the
total cost of this program. That
simply means a grant of $685.
900 "a gift to aid us in health
and agriculture.
We have only one tragic re
minder in this little review of the
health and agriculture picture.
It is quite probable that this will
be our final opportunity to OBJ,
tain these State and Federal
grants. We are told on good all
thority that only the influence OF
our good friend and neighbor
Mr.. James H. Clark, Chairman OF
the Medical Care Commission
who lives at Elizabethtown, en-
abled us to get this chance. If we
do not use the $288,000, it will be
transferred elsewhere and it is
unlikely that it will ever be a.
vailable again.
What does a hospital mean?
