THE BEAUTY OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS “Ths mountains and valleys of southwestern Virginia, western North Carolina and eastern Termes- see comprise one of the most beauti ful parts of America,” v-rites Hugh Hammond Bennett in an attractively illustrated article about the moun- tains of these states. Using HOLLAND’S, The Maga- _ine, of the South, as his vehicle, Mr. Bennett says, “Sitting on a com fortable carpet of blue-grass, o-ne looking out from any hillside upon picturesque valleys, where, peache and beauty and rural fragrance abound. From' distant pastures, the tinkling of cattle bells floats soothingly to the ear.

Since every citizen of Selma knows -A-ithout being told that weeds are the greatest breeding places of di- sea.se-carrying insects, we wonder why anyone tolerates a single weed on his premises. If cut now, the danger is over until along late in the summer. Stamping out breed ing places before thie pests have a chance to breed is the most deadly way yet found to .exterminate them. Y'ou seldom hear of an epidemic of sickness in a community whose ci'ti- zjens never permit the weeds to at tain their full height, and who keep them down all through the summer. Nothing flourishes like a weed, and nothing needs as prompt attention if you expect to keep them from getting the start of you. It doesn’t cost anything, just a little time and energy, to mow them. But it does cost a lot of linters and wood pulp in America’s administration in the County doctors ‘and drugs if a .. _-J nvpir wave of illness sweeps over toe com munity.

J Goss, chemists of the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, who have been seeking to discover and develop profitable out lets for this farm waste of the .Southern States. Several attempts to dispose of the 70 000 tons of peanut hulls which collect annually at the shelling plants in the Southern States have as yet met with only small success. Hulls have bee,n used experimentally ' as roughage in cattle feed but they have.little feed value; small quanti ties 'are incorporated as a diluent in fertilizers; and attempts have been made to use the hulls in magnesia plaster tiles and fibre concrete, but the Bureau of Standards reports that toe fibre concrete is weaker than the concrete prepared with hardwood chips.
