AAA Offers Payment For A Home Garden Farmers of North Carolina are of fered the opportunity to earn a con servation payment in 1940 by plant ing a home garden, announces E. Y. Floyd. AAA executive officer of State College. One unit of credit, or 4150, i* uffried for the planting of a garden consisting of not less than " one-tenth of an acre per person. In families containing more than ten persons, a one acre garden will suf fice to qualify for the payment. Floyd said that the requirements are that the garden be adequately protected from poultry and livestock -that good cultural methods be fol lowed. and that proper steps be tak en to control insect pests. Irish po tatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and field peas may be planted elsewhere on the farm. "Hie AAA recommends that three or more different vegetables be growing in the garden each month for at least eight months of the year 1 Not more than one-fourth of the garden area should be planted to any one vegetable at any one time. The Triple-A officer suggested that farmers write to the Agricul tural Editor at State College. Ral eigh, for one of several publications on home gardens. The extension hor I'-nltiirHs a' ??"""gr nliri have materials on the same subject which will bew sent free to interested per sons. 1 11 R. Niswonger and L. P. Watson, horticultural specialists, say that ev ery home garden should contain at least 12 different kinds of vegeta bles, exclusive of Irish and sweet po tatoes, and that a variety of small fruits should also be grown on that farm. 4-H Clubs Set Goal Of r>,j.000 Memlwrs L R. Harrili, 4-H club leader at State College, has announced that an enrollment goal of 55,000 farm boys and girls has been set for 1040. During the year just closed, slight ly more than 49.000 were enrolled in North Carolina clubs The organi zation stretched from seacoast to ceived instruction and guidance in 1,529 clubs. This figure included both white and Negro members. In outlining the program for 1940. Harrili and Miss Frances MacGreg or. assistant club leader, have urged farm and home agents, the club ad visers. to plan the year carefully so that an even greater interest will be taken in projects and in the club meetings. ? Likewise, they have suggested that more local adult leaders be used in furthering the work. The local lead er is generally acknowledged as the person on whom depends the success or failure of an individual club. In some cases, local leaders are brought to the county seat where they undergo a training period to acquaint them more fully with the purposes and aims of 4-H club work as well as to give them new ideas for conducting club meetings. It has also been suggested by the State 4-H leaders that agents plan a full year's program in Jtliance This will enable them to get a broader view of the work, and at the same time the club members will know their monthly assignments well in advance Likewise, the leaders advised more personal contacts with club boys and girls. This will enable the agents to kOL>w_ more definitely what proj ects the members are capable of car rying out.

Ryan, noted Chicago physiologist, upwards of 1,000.000 auto drivers and passen gers will have a "new outlook on life" this year. Dr. Ryan arrives at this conclusion by combining results of his researches on eye fatigue with figure.1? on production of high-test safety plate glass for cars. His stud ies showed that the new type glass, with its precision-polished surface, reduced eye^fatigue caused by mo torists by wavmess of safety sheet J.i by b'2 per cent.
