TO INTRODUCE BILL &v. TO ASSIST MOTHERS 'geek Aid For! Mothers Who Are ; Unable to [Financially Sup lS: port Their Children RALEIGH, Jan. 13.—A bill to pro yiije aid for mothers who are ment ftll» morally and physically able to care for their children, byt who are financially unable to do so will be •roposed to the general assembly bj Various civic and fraternal organiza tions in the state including the North Carolina legislative council of wo tfaeh'.with the approval of the state board bf charities and public welfare, ft,, was announced here today. Such tfifr will mean the annual expenditure of $100,000 by the state and the eeveral counties. It is planned that tlte state appropriate $50,000 a year from which appropriations made by Oolinties which take advantage of the bQl will be matched dollar for dollar. It" -will be permissive with the sev eral counties whether use is made of $ijfch provision. ... , * -There are now approximately J, 4(f0 -in the state who are in need of the benefits of such legislation and for 'jrmom there is no room, in the orphan fees of the state, declared Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, commissioner of pub ld? welfare. The whole idea of a father’s aid law is that the home is fDb most satisfactory place for the -rearing of the child and that mother »nd child should not be separated for reasons of poverty only, it was Explained. It is generally admitted, fee commissioner stated, that insti tutional life. however good, can Sever tie as advantageous for the de taopmeni of the child as normal glome life. . }<- No new machinery will be requited jjfor the administration of mother’s Sid in North Carolina, according to fee commissioner, as the fund would She administered by the state board of Charities and public welfare through foie county welfare officers acting^uii ader their respective boards of the ijountv commissioners. Recommenda tions ' for benefit under this law tvould be made by the judge of the juvenile court and the county board jdf public welfare subject to the ap proval of tlie state board of charities fed public welfare after investiga tion, ...... I - rsOIlil uav -— —— , finely which at present have no form of ^mother’s aid. *The idea is steadily growing in popularity, understandings yfllnd Execution. The law differs in different states as to the requirements Uor the mother who shall receive aid. iln the proposed law for the state a | jtnotWr shall be eligible for benefits ■tlf she be a widow or divorced or de serted, if it be found impossible to re quire the husband to support her, *»r the husband is found to be mental or physically Incapacitated to sup port his family, or if he is confined to !£ny penal or eleemosynary institu tion, provided no relative, is able and ^frilling to undertake to aid the wo i^an efficiently. The beneficiary | tpiust also have been a resident of the -State for three years and of the conn tiy one year. Each case will require -thorough investigation and constitute '& particular problem and it is here j that the careful supervision of the 'State board of charities and public Welfare will be of special value. 5.

It is commonly understood that there are at least ten elements of plant food essential for normal plant growth. TJp to a few years ago only four of these were considered necessary to add to soils for larger or profitable crop yields. These four plant food mate rials are nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, and lime. Recently sulphur has been placfeil on the market in .the form of free sulphur and gyysum, and many requests have been coming to the North Carolina extension service for information as to its value for crop productions. The soils of North Carolina do not contain a large supply of the necessary food elements. In the eastern section of the state, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and lime when supplied give in creased yields in crops. In the central or Piedmont and western sections ofj the state, phosphoric acid, nitrogen ] an*l lime when added to crops show that' they are deficient and can be sup plied with profit. From the results secured by care ful experiments and using the nka tion of crops practiced by the farmers of the state, it has been found that acid phosphate is the best carrier of phosphoric acid to use in this state. It has also been found that lime in some form should be used to .increase crop yields, and especially in rotations where legumes occur. Regardless of the kind of crop grown or the form of rotation used, it will be necessary for North Carolina farmep to secure and supply to their soils phosphoric acid and lime. Acid phosphate contains from 30 to 10 per cent of gypsum and from every application of 200 pounds of acid phosphate to an acre of soil there will be added from 15 to 20 pounds of sulphur. For crops like cot ton and tobacco and the different truck crops, much more than this is gener ally added. Most o* the cultivated soils in this state are sour or acid. Limestone is a great neutralizer ' of acidity. Gypsum does not sweeten soils. ' In many of our soils, potash Is in| abundance but most of it is in a form j unavailable for plant food. It is; claimed that additional gypsum may j render it available for plant use. It [ is also probable that by the addition j of limestone, the same reactions would occur. Our soils also need organic matter. If leguminous cover crops are grown and turned into the soil, potash will also be set free. The addition of sulphur or gypsum may stimulate the growth of these cover crops. Lime stone will also do this. Sulphur in combination is added to the soil in small amounts by rain and snow. The amount is quite variable, being greater near cities and less in the open country. This supply with that already in the soil will probably suffice for the needs of our field crops. Phosphoric acid and lime are not add ed to our soils by rains. By the use of sulphur or gypsum on tfie soils of North Carolina, plant food would be added; th,e availability o* some insoluble plant foods already in the soil would be increased; and ma terial activity would be increased with beneficial results. In considering the purchase of these materials to apply to our soils, the following points should be remem bered: (1) Our soils contain some sulphur. (2) Rail and snows are continually adding sulphur in very small amounts. (3) Phosphoric acid is essential for our crops. (4) Acid phosphate is the most effi cient carrier of phosphoric acid to use. (5) Acicf phosphate contains consid erable sulphur in the form of gypsum. (6) Our soils are sour/ or acid.' (7) Limestone sweetens soils; gyp sum does not. (S) Limestone and gypsum enter into soil reactions changing unavailable materials to usable forms. (9) Limestone and gypsum both stimulate bacterial. | (10) Limestone is cheaper per ton than gypsum. The growing of large and profitable crops in North Carolina is limited by many factors; such as lack of organic matter, of nitrogen, of phosphoric acid, of potash in some sections, and of lime. Until these different factors have been eliminated, it is probable that it will not be necessary to pur chase sulphur as such for our general farm crops, certainly on most soils.

To the best of our knowledge this is the first time in the history of commercial poultry feeds that a National Egg Laying Contest has placed sufficient confidence in a commercial feed to use it exclusively and seldom, if ever, has a manufacturer been willing to make a public demonstration of the feeding value of his products. What Vitality Feeds are accomplishing for thousands of America’s successful poultry raisers, they will accom plish for you.

CThis volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely unprecedented for this time of the year— CIt has taxed the manufacturing- ability of the Ford plants working- at full capacity— i CIt indicates a volume of business during the rapidly approaching months of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maximum pro duction schedule which the Ford Motor Company has set— C And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which ex-, isted last spring and summer— C Dealers’ stocks all over the country are low—there are no reserves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery— CThereisno way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as cars could be manufactured since last April— c \ CThe only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time Hs to place your order immediately— This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could pJossibly say the necessity Of your making prompt ar rangements with a Ford Dealer for the listing of your order, particularly if you are contemplating the pur chase oL.a Ford Car or Truck for use this spring or summer.
