FehriA<iry, 1930 The Health Bulletin 11 sending out for more than twenty years, has constantly agitated for health reasons, if for no other, the necessity of a garden and diversified food for every family. Early in December appeals were going out in different sections of the State, especially the eastern part of North Carolina, literally begging for help for hundreds and even thousands of people— men, women, and children — faced with literal starvation before another crop can rescue them. This whole section from which these cries are arising in increasing volume is as fertile as the Valley of the Nile in its palmiest times. As much garden and truck produce could be raised in any one county in that section as the people of all the whole State of North Carolina could consume annually, if only the efforts could be made. It is a section where a year-round garden is possible, as proved by individuals here and there all over the territory. It is one of the finest countries in the United States for stock raising, especially for hogs. The agriculture departments of the State and Federal Government have made possible the raising of tick-free cattle. Hog cholera is no longer a menace, thanks to the activities of the animal industry department of the State Government, and yet, owing to a fool policy of raising only so-called money crops, these people face starvation year after year when there is a failure of crops due to adverse weather or market conditions. This writer regards the chief trouble as being a dog-eat-dog policy on the part of the landlord and tenant alike, in which the landlord exacts the last drop of blood in the way of tobacco and cotton acreage, and in which the tenant reciprocates by demanding all the credit at the time store that he can possibly get, each one gambling at the expense of the other. If the landlord would demand that his tenant have chickens, hogs, and cattle, Bird houses made by the children in a two teacher school. The tree is ''The Birds Christmas Tree." It has pop corn and suet on it. The children put it up just before Xmas, and do each year. Sunken in the ground, at the foot of the jyoles holding the bird houses, is an old stove bottom for the Birds Bath. All these bird houses are occupied this year. It is a very interesting place. If you happen to be traveling on Route 20 in the southeastern part of the State, you may see it from the highway in the grove of pines beside the schoolhouse. and a garden before a single acre of tobacco or cotton should be planted, and then if he should demand in his contract with the tenant that this garden must be kept up the year round, that the hogs and the cattle must be cared for properly, and all the supplies grown at home, there would be fewer and fewer cries going out to the general public for help. It is nothing short of a suicidal policy which the Agricultural Depart-
