Forty-Two Families Now Self-Sustaining Greenville, Aug. 7.^-Forty-two*former charity families from the textile districts of Greenville have proved a living can be wretited from the soil and, after a year on farms, are independent. I The. government began in ..late spring a year ago, when the Greenville county Red Cross chapter decided to experiment in rehabilitation work by sending poverty stricken families to farms and supporting them until a crop could be raised. Most of those affected had farmed at some time, but a few had never been on a farm. v-A gift of $5,000 was secured from the United iStates department of labor. With this, a farm colony of ten families was set up on 1,000 acres of lan<J in Abbeville county. ?The rent was $25 a year for each family, and the money was turned back into the property to repair hohses. Each family furnished a mule. Tools and truck were owned cooperatively by tho colonists. Close supervision of planting and cultivation of crops was given by Mrs. B. S. Hill, of the Greenville Red Cross, who had formerly operated a large plantation with considerable success. Enough cotton was planted to pay the rent, to settle a food bill, which had to be made when tho $5,000 became exhausted, and to furnish fertilizer for a portion of the present crop. Special emphasis was placed upon food crops for animals and the colonists. Large^gardens were planted by the families, who sometimes worked far into the night to achieve success. One man was so concerned when frost gathered that he rose before the sun could get in its damage, carried: buckets of water, and washed the frost away from his cabbage plants. Another man's mule died, and everyone else gave a day's work with his mule tovhelp make his crop. In the autumn of 1931 it was found that there had been raised 3,150 hushels of corn, 700 bushels of sweet potatoes, -80 bushels of beans, 50 bush-; els of fruit had been dried, 1,000 gal-j Ions of syrup had been made, 10,000 quarts of fruit and vegetables had been canned, with a large quantity of, other produce; 400 bushels of peas; had been raised, as had 150 bushels of Irislr potatoes. With care the food lasted until spring garden time and the harvesting of spring wheat. _ During the gathering of the wheat crop, one man was found in the field, cutting wheat with a scythe, but his pockets were loaded with rocks. Unaccustomed to the heavy un-i weildy tool, he explained, he was thrown to the ground on each swing, so he loaded his pockets with Tocks to maintain his balance. Cows, pigs antf chickens were purchased with money sent voluntarily "fyy residents of over half the United States. This year the colony farms were financed through government land loans of less than $100 to a farm, expected to be paid with the cotton o . I crop. . Last spring 32 other families were placed on land which they purchased or rented with government bonus money, . Not a single one of these families returned this year, for all made arrangements for .themselves for another farming season. AH the families hope to purchase the land after a few more years' work. The government estimate of the corn crop this year, based on August 1st condition, is placed at 2,819,794,000 bushels, compared with 2,995,850 bushels forecast a month ago, end 2,663,271,000 produced last year. The wheat crop of this year is estimated at 722.687.000 bushels, compared with 894,104,000 bushels last year. Supposedly a pauper and dying in ,the county hospital after he had been reihoved there from a cheap Chicago boarding house, Thomas Maile, armless song writer and the author of a number of sensational song hits, including, "I'm Looljfng at the World Through Rose Colored Glasses," left an estate of more than $100,000. ? It is announced by Everett Sanders, \ chairman of the Republican national committee, that former President; Coolidge will take part in the cam-; paign^to re-elect Mr. Hoover to the; presidency. Just how big a part the former president will play is npt stated, but he will probably make a speech or two. Polly, a parrot owned by Mrs. G. W.

General News Notes The Appleton mill at Anderson is spending $75,000 on repairs now under way, without shutting down the mill.
