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.

Auto Drivers Take
New Slant On Life
According to Dr. Andrew H. 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. Then he con
sidered reports showing that in 1939
the production of high test safety
plate by one company alone was 8,
000,000 square feet more than for
;iri amount sufficient 10 glaze
at least 4UU.00U new autos com par
ed with only 5.950 so equipped in
1938 Figuring conservatively yn
three persons to a car," Dr. Ryan
says, at least a million drivers and
ngers iri 1940 cars will be see
TngTfTTngs straighter and easier while
rolling along the highways."
