County Agent B. M, Thompson calls attention to the wage and hour law which prohibit ttoe employment 01 son under 16 years of age on farms where the crops are .shipped out of the State. However, such employ ment is prohibited only during the hours that school is in session in the district where the child lives while employed. In other words, there is no restriction on the employment of a child, regardless of age, before or after school hours, or on a holiday. Furthermore, the law does not pro hibit a child from working for his parents or guardian on the home farm during school hours.'; The responsibility for compliance with the law's cMdkbor require ments rests with the farmer regard less of who does the actual hiring of the children. Prospective employers of children of doubtful age may pro tect themselves from unintentional violations of the law by having on file a proof-of-age certificate for each child employed. Such certificate may be obtained from the local Superin tendent of Public Welfare. While the law sets no limit as to wages to be paid or number of hours that may be worked by agricultural child labor, providing the work is dur ing non-school hours, it requires the farmers to keep a record of each mi nor under 18 years of age who works on a day that school is in session. The record must show your minor's name, date of birth, and place where he lives while employed. The above information is from the North Carolina Department of Labor, says Mr. Thompson, Several farmers have been cited to court for hiring minors Airing regular school hours, Thompson says. It is the purpose of this article to inform farmers so that they can avoid needless embarrass ment and trouble. ; Tribute Paid Leaders National Club Week filing of National Home Demonstration Week, which is being observed this week, is a time for paying tribute to volunteer club leaders. , .

All lead ers are working to - broaden and strengthen their program. . , , ... . ' ' Care Necessary For Strawberry Plants ' "Now is fresh strawberry shortcake time," says County Agent .R. M. Thompson, "and if you are foresighted in taking care of your plants, you are now enjoying the rewards. "Are you having trouble with birds eating the few berries you have? Cloth placed over the plants from daybreak until mid-morning is claimed to be a good method of guarding ber ries from the birds. This is because birds do most of their feeding during the early morning. V "Scarecrows, noisy bright streamers of tinfoil, firecrackers, and blank gun shells have all been used with vari ous degrees of success. However, John Harris claims the best method he has seen was by the birds themselves. Two mocking birds with a nest near the strawberries will keep all other birds away and will even try to keep you away. The few berries the two mocking birds eat are not missed. The problem is how to encourage mock ing birds to build their nests near the trawberry planting."

What does she do 7 She is a club woman giving voluntari ly of her time' and talents to promote home demonstration. Today in North Carolina there are subject matter leaders in the 1,800 clubs of the state foods and nutri tion, clothing and food conservation, home mantgement, poultry, gardening, and family relations leaders. These women report at club meetings on lat est findings in their specific subject matter field; they may also plan, pre--pare and present the monthly dem onstration. Mrs. Charles Graham of Linwood, president of the North Carolina Fed ration of Home Demonstration Clubs, says she thinks of volunteer leaders as topsoil.
