PERQUIMANS WEEKLY -HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1935.
?lHuge Unpaid Force
Ti. . A . i . -ntrm a
assisis rixa rrogram
Washington, D. C For every paid
worker in the nation-wide , Better
Housing Program of the Federal
Housing Administration there are 90
volunteer workers helping the move'
ment to revive the durable-goods in
dustnes and the construction Indus
try as a whole, according to the Ad
ministration.
Figures released here by the Ad
ministration show that there are only
2,769 paid employees, while there are
250,000 volunteers backing the pro
gram. .
From the outset of the Better
Housing Program, labor, -business,
and industry, have enthusiastically co
operated in the furtherance of the
work. In local communities a greater
portion of organisation work was ear
ned on by civic-spirited citizens un
der the guidance of representatives
of the Housing Administration. At
national headquarters the . greater
majority of major Industries have
maintained at their own expense re
presentatives who work hand in hand
with the various divisions of the
housing organization.
Dunng the Spring of 1935 more
than 1,000 trained men from various
industries participated in a series of
educational meetings held in key
cities throughout the country , to ac
quaint retailers and independent
dealers, as well as the general public,
with the far-reaching benefits to be
derived from modernization and re
pair projects. At the same time, in
dustries pledged personal moderniza
tion and repair, projects. At the
same time, industries pledged person
al modernization "projects and cam
paigns within their own concerns to
educate their employed personnel in
the purpose of the Better Housing
Program.
Rural communities have also shown
much cooperation in the program, and
hundreds of unpaid workers have
carried on the tasks in local better
housing committees in 48 states. The
actual work of organizing house-to-house
canvasses, obtaining definite
pledges for repairs, and putting
property owners in contact with ma
terials dealers, contractors, and archi
tects, has largely been the work of
the volunteer staff in every locality.
Local better housing committee?
receive no funds for their operations
from the Federal Housing Adminis
tration. Each community finances
its own program, many with the as
sistance of the local Emergency Re
lief Administration, in providing can
vassers and clerical helpers. In
many sections canvassers receive
compensation from retail trade.
Committees vary in size from a
hundred or more to less than half a
dozen, depending upon the population
of the community in which it is
functioning. Canvassing organizations
range from paid forces of trained
men and women to carpenter's and
brick layers on relief or volunteer
salesmen representing building-sup
ply dealers.
Advisors To Help
Better Homes Drive
Washington, D. C One of the
unique forces in the better housing
program, which is proving an effec
tive stimulus to modernization of all
types of real property and to con
struction of new homes, is the Advis
ory Council of the Federal Housing
Administration.
This group of 27 men was selected
to represent practically all shades ox
snecialized opinion, so that when a
question is placed before the Advis
ory Council the report on that ques
tion will ciosely approximate the
opinion of the general public. They
serve solely as advisors to the Ad
ministrator. Many serve without pay.
Lend Experience fX
The purpose of the organization
of this group was to make readily
available to the Administrator ,;; the
experience and judgment of the out
standing men in the whole field OI
housing and allied activities, . whose
services it would not be possible to
obtain as permanent members of the
In its membership are financial
men, representing insurance compa
nies, commercial and Barings banks,
trust companies, and building and
loan associations; real estate men,
builders, housing experts,, city plan
ners, economists, material men, engi
neers, architects, and- fire-prevention
experts, and representatives of labor,

Timely Questions On
Farm Answered
Question: How can I control bud
worms in my tobacco ?
Answer: The best known control
for this damage is the poisoned corn
meal bait. This is made by thor
oughly mixing 50 pounds of corn meal
with one pound of arsenate . of lead.
A small pinch of this mixture should
be dropped in the center, of the bud
early in the morning when the to
bacco bud is open. Begin applies
tions as early as possible' after the
plants are set and repeat every week
or ten days until the plants are top
ped. One peck or twelve pounds of
the mixture will cover an acre of
tobacco plants.
Question: Is it a good policy to
cross breed poultry 7
Answer: Cross breeding is becom
ing very popular with . large poultry
producers. This crossing of breeds
apparently steps up the vigor of the
progeny and therefore gives a higher
percentage of livability, especially if
purebred parents have been used
This is especially desirable in broiler
production work. In relation to egg
production,-a first generation cross
should be advantageous but should
not be carried further.
Question: When should I begin
dusting to control the cotton boll
weevil?
Answer: Dusting should begin as
soon as 10 percent of the squares are
punctured. The weather has been
ideal for the weevil this year and foi
that reason a count of punctures
should be made as soon as the
squares are formed. Count 100
squares and where as many as ten
arc found punctured the first applica
tion should be made. Use from four
to six pounds of calcium arsenate to
the acre and repeat the application
five days after the first dusting.
Counts for infestation should be made
each week and applications made as
may be necessary to keep damage be
low 10 percent.
Question: What is the best time
to apply nitrogen to corn and cotton
as a side dressing?
Answer: Applications should be
made to corn when it is about knee
high and to cotton immediately after
chopping. Much of the fertilizing
value is lost when late applications
are made. With cotton, late applica
r"Lv"l' . , ::.-
growth but will not increase the corn
yield. Apply the side dressing as
early as possible so as to get full
value of the fertilizing material.
Question: What should be done to
control chicken pox in my laying
flock?
Answer: Where this disease is
present, all birds having if 3 trouble
should be immediately isolated, " the
house and utensils thoroughly clean
ed, and a good germicide kept in the
drinking water as long as new cases
appear. The entire flock should be
given one dose of Epsom Salts at the
rate of one-half pound to three gal
lons of water. Vaccinate the well
fencea surroundine verdant fields.

beautiful and attractive landscape
settings.
Loans for repairing and Installing
fences are available through private

the Federal Housing AdmMstnrtion,
which fa insurine such loans under

Question: Where can I get infor
mation on canning, preserving and

Answer:. Two new publications
have recently been issued by the Ex
tension Service at State College and
are now available upon request to all
citizens of the State. Circular No.
114 give information as to canning
fruits and vegetables while Circular
No. 113. carries detailed instructions
for making all kinds of jellies, jams,
preserves, and pickles. ..These circu
lars were prepared by the home
demonstration department and may
be had from your local home dem
onstration agent or upon application
to the Agricultural Editor at State
College.
Robertson Explains
FHA Credit System
There seems to be some misunder
standing about loans on rural proper
ty under the Federal Housing Admin
istration, says A. K. Robertson, state
rural housing supervisor at State
College.
The FHA plan operates solely on
funds or credit made available
thrtugh local institutions, he ex
plained; The government is not mak
ing any loans under this plan.
County rural housing committees
have been and are being set up to
aid farmers secure loans or credit on
reasonable terms. The committees are
also ready to offer suggestions about
rural housing improvements.
Under the FHA plan, loans are
made to finance the repairing or im
provement of farm homes, buildings,
and other permanent equipment. Any
responsible farmer may apply for
amounts up to $2,000. Repayments
are to be made over a period of one
to five years.
The Federal land bank loans, land
bank commissioner loans, and produc
tion credit association loans do not
come within the scope of the FHA
program, Robertson pointed out, since
they are designed for other purposes.
However, he said, the land bank
loans can be secured for the purpose
of buying equipment and materials
U ured by to mortp.
The FHA committees and officials
have negotiated agreements with
