FARM COLONIES FOR CITY WORKERS One of the most interesting of all the experiments the Roosevelt administration is going to make will be its venture in "subsistence farming" for industrial workers on the fringes of big cities. . : A $25,000,000 fund is available for this work, and the first colonies will be established soon. What the stunt will amount to is simply this : Land will be obtained on the edge of a city and will be subdivided into small farms of -one, two or three acres..,, A small home, perhaps to cost $3000, will be established on each plot. In the middle of the colony will be a store, a play ground and social hall, and the like. Occupants of these homes will be industrial workers from the city. Each family will have enough land to raise vege tables, chickens and a little fruit and, possibly, to keep a cow. And the idea is that these workers will not only get the benefits of fresh air, open country life, and so on ; they will be far more, independent of the uncertainties of indus trial life than any workers can possibly be under ordinary conditions. . If the factory that employs one of these men shuts down, for instance, the man doesn't starve. He stays at home, raises his own.fopd, keeps his expenses down to a very low ..minimum and has, on theiwhole, a pretty fair sort offtime. . Furthermore, while he is working he has his own source INQUEST IN COVE MURDER CASE HELD (Continued from Page One) Mr. Colvln did not know when the car was returned but It was there when he got up Saturday morning. The witness said Stevens came Into the house about 7 a. m. Saturday, acting strangely and telling of a murder at Cove the night toeioro.
