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.
Smith, Bluefield, Va.f is dead at the
age of 38 years. ?? -
Most Famous Dog
Claimed By Death
Hollywood, Aug. 10.~Rin Tin Tin,
the world's most famous dog, is dead.
A motion picture star .since puppyhood,
commander of bigger contracts
than many human players who rose
and fell during his stardom, "Rinty"
succumbed on the eve of his greatest
triumphs.
He was playing in his private kennel
Monday, jumping happily despite
his 14 years. His master, Lee Duncan,
eyed the big German shepherd
and patted him fondly.
Suddenly "Rinty" lay down. His
big brown eyes looked up at Duncan
for a .moment and then closed Quietly,
Unable to believe what was happening,
Duncan carried the dog to his
bed, intending to administer medicine.
He found "Rinty's" hindquarters
paralysed.
A veterinary was summoned, but
before he cobld arrive "Rinty" was
dead. It was due to natural causes,
the doctor said.
