Progress Has Been Made By Farmers Columbia, Aug. 10.?Figures showing that definite progress toward' becoming self-supporting has been made by farmers on the Rural Rehabilitation program were released today by Farm Management Specialist L. S. Wolfe. Farmers who borrowed money from the Rural Rehabilitation division of the Resettlement Administration, United States Department of Agriculture, in' 1935, had an average net worth of $133.65, This net worth lp 1936 had increased to $257.17 and In 1937 to $359.14, The first year pnly 85 per rent of the borrowers had mules and mares, in 1937 this had increased to 99 per cent leaving only 1 per cent using steers as work animals. Only 53 per cent of the Rural Rehabilitation families had milk cows in 1935, now 83 per cent possess them. Hog ownership has jumped from 49 per cent to 80 per cent in three years. While- 23 per cent had brood sows to begin with, 54 per cent now ltave them. * 1 wo years ago only 75 per cent of the borrowers had poultry on the yards, this has been increased to 98 per cent. hverv farmer on the program has a family garden. 1 lie average cash income from the farm in 19."'..i was approximately $265 00 and this has been increased in two years to approximately $506.00.. 1 hese figures were obtained through a careful survey over the slate and accordftig to Mr. Wolfe indicate very satisfactory progress toward the rehabilitation of these families.

Prices for tobacco sold at auction at i various points In Georgia this week averaged 25 cents per pound AMOUNT VERNON Home of George Washington Subject of Many Improvements ? ? .| I Mount Vernon, home of George Washington near the national capital, has a new superintendent, the fourth since the Mount Vernon i.adieu a?' Hoclatlon took over the care and upkeep of the famous shrine In 1858, Folio wing the recent death of Colonol Harrison H. Dodge, the Ladles Association elected Charles Cecil Wall, former assistant superintendent, to take charge. "Numerous changes and restorations have taken place at Mount Vernon In recent years," says a bulletin front the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society. Many of the alterations, the 'new superintendent points out, were made as a result of extensive research work among records, letters, and other documents found both in this country and abroad. As a result the Mansion | House and Its adjacent buildings &ad gardens, are today more nearly as they were In Washingtbn's time than when the Ladies Association took over the neglected estate. This organization, founded 79 years ago, by Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham, of South Carolina, is chartered by the state of Virginia. Its officers serve without pay. Because the vast proportion of Mt. V ernon s thousands of annual visitors come by motor car, the Federal government and the state -of Virginia have each constructed trunk highways to take care of the heavy tourist travel. The Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, built by the Federal government, follows the Potomac ri\ ei from Washington, D, C., to a new plaza outside the gates. The state of \ irglnia has linked the plaza with l nlted States Route 1 to the south, passing a restoration of the old Washington grist mill. taring the circular plaza, but outside the gates, are lunch rooms, and souvenir shops, housed in buildings whose colonial architecture harmonizes with the reBt of the estate. There is also an outdoor cafe. Parking spaces for cars and buses are partially concealed by shrubbery and trees. A high brick wall, which was not a teature of the plantation in Washington s day, but was erected to protect it today, encircles almost the entire estate. Other additions made necessary by Mount Vernon's transformation from a private farm to a public shrine are the buildings and houses for the resident staff, and a headquarters for the Ladies Association during their annual meetings there. None of these conflict with the original buildings on the plantation. I er haps the most conspicuous < hange in the Mansion House itself is the removal of the white railing above the roof of the portico on the east, or Potomac front. Study of several ancient drawings and paintings of the Mansion, some of which have only recently come to light, revealed that the tailing did not appear on any pictures prior to 1839, and thereforb the tailing must not have been a feature of the house during Washington's lifetime. Consequently it has been taken down. Another restoration, of particular interest to landscape architects,' is. the kitchen garden along the south sdde of the bowling green. This sloping plot of land was laid out by Washington in terrace style, an interesting example of 18th century design. Most of the beds are small, as was the custom before the introduction ot modern gardening tools which permit the growing of vegetables in lotur rows. Growing in the garden, now are old herbs, vegetables and fruits mentioned in Washington's tarm accounts. The old brick barn has a new roof, a shingling job completed this spring these shingles, the only major build-1 ing item not available locally when the barn was built in 1782. were made) of cypress along the Pamunkey river, very much as were the first set purt chased by Washington. Visitors may now peek into the tiny i building at the west end of the flower j garden, believed to have been used by the Curtis children and their tutor as I a school house. This red-roofed octagonal structure was until recently If*1"8 Fftrouk 17? boy king of Lgypt, was crowned with elaborate I CatTai?ro e V^ P^^mentTuRd'fng at Cairo. )est.-rdny, after a week of vTll h 8U?,h BS the valle>' of the Nile, has not known In modern times.

Kntirely concealed from visitors' eyes is one of the most remarkable bits of restoration work undertaken in connection with thb preservation of the Mansion. * Some time ago it was discovered that the heavy wooden beams supporting the roof and celling above the banquet hall were showing signs of sagging. From a narrow third floor trapdoor, workmen were able to brace the ancient timbers with iron plates and heavy bolts, so that they now ure as strong as new. So carefully did they do their work that the brittle plasters of the wide celling below yfas not damaged in the least. The gate used by present-day tourists was not the one nsed by Washington. A gravel road running along the west side of the plantation leads to the original West I^odge Gate, which has been restored, but is closed to the public. From it, through a vista cleared by Washington and since maintained, the Mansion house can be seen two-thirds of a mile away. The old square lodges which once sheltered Washington's gate-keeper have also been restored. ' Mount Vernon now is open every' day in the year, but only in recent years has it been open on Sundays. | The four negroes, treed at Decatur I I ia . aftdr six and a halt year* i? coal I ectloD with the Scottsboro c a*?, aiu iow In N$w York, and are to be the I enter ot a hlg celebration to be held I it the famous Hippodrome.
