These pocket books, as they are called, are making good literature accessible to an estimated 30,000,000 Americans heretofore unable to afford such works in more formal bindings. The publishers suy these books are avail able not only in metropolitan areas. hiU 1,, fttr instanrp, tha 1 U4S people who live in Stephens, Ark., and to the 250 who make up the town of Arp, Texas. So it appears that true nation-wide distribution has become a reality for this , product. To date 58 titles have been released, and the fastest-selling among them is said to be Paul de Kruif's Microbe Hunters, reprinted under the title, The Magic Bullet. 1 New York City received about one carload of fruits and vegetables a minute for the daylight time of every working day of the year, or about 202,000 carloads yearly. Farmers Organized In Defense Program P Farmers of North Carolina are or ganized for any emergency, savs Dr. T"OrSetrsutJr"directororthe State College Extension Service. They are ready to meet any call for contribu tions to National defense in the form of food, feed and the materials for clothing. They have been preparing for such a call in recent years. They have experienced?leadership to do th job, he declared Dr. Schaub said that the National Farm Program has enabled farmers to become better organized and more ready to work together than at any time in history. He also point ed out that, through the Agricultur al Conservation Program, the fer tility of the soil has been built up to where the necessities of war could be produced in greater quantities, urith ?'mo t>nH ovr/>nnti "Our extension organization was only three years old when the Unit ed States entered the first World War in 1917," Dr. Schaub continued. "Vet, with limited personnel and ex perience, the farm and home agents and subject matter specialists pro vided efficient leadership in that great crisis. Farm and home demon stration work is now 26 years old, and we have an organization of trained agents, specialists and ad ministrators. Every county in the State is organized for extension work. "Many of the farm and home agents, canning and clothing spec ialists, and others who directed em ergency activities of rural people in 1917 and 1918, and again during the depression years, are still with the organization. They did their jobs efficiently then; they have the con fidence of the farm people, and are ready to lead again. It will not be necessary to set up new services, or new organiza tions of farmers to carry on agricul ture's part of the national defense program." A splendid little house designed to make additional wings a simple pro cedure.

Business Activity Shows Good Rise For many, weeks now practically all the boosting effect of war and export industrial activity has been concent rated on aircraft j ma chine tool and similar lines. But now ! the quickened pace in these fields has begun to be felt in retail and j other **non-heavJrM businesses. For the first time since the long down ward slide that followed last Sep tember's high levels things are defi nitely perking up in the nation's shops and stores. After all. orders are the best confidence-builders, and orders are beginning to flow with Uncle Sam's definite embarkation on bus giant defense program. The step-ups in employment and payrolls ol the industries supplying these goods will create new spending pow er for the employes. This can't help being reflected in the cash registers I I<>f the butcher, baker, clothier, fur ? niture man. theater operator, and so forth.
