Milk, fruits, vegetables, and meat outputs rose, with last year's figures showing higher home consumption and storage including 31 bushels of produce, 132 dozen eggs, and 12 gallons of lard. Expanded poultry and garden outputs are urged to meet local needs, with some former tenants moving toward farm ownership through the Bankhead Jones program.

Whitesville Likely to Get $200 for Detention of County Prisoners

Raleigh County faces a study by the state tax commission on paying about $200 to Whitesville for detaining county prisoners. County Clerk Harry Anderson expects payment, noting prior understandings when Whitesville provided jail blocks in exchange for housing prisoners. Whitesville Police Chief E C Wilson presented the claim claiming the law requires $1 for the first day and 50 cents for each additional day, while the county has paid 42 cents daily for feeding. The bill is under audit by tax commission officials in Beckley.
