^ | JUNE 3, 1937 TODAY and s jyoqcwi; PCE |,\?yxV 5g PLASTICS .... better homes How would you like to live in a 8? house where you could throw bricks ' at the windows and they would bounce bock ? That is already possible. but even more wonderful , things are being done with the newkinds of materials which science calls "plastic." > The discovery that chemical compounds made from such unrelated things as ceiluilose. corn oil and carbolic acid can be moulded into solids which take the ple.ee of metal, glass, wood and stone is the latest step in man's conquest of nature. Technicians in the plastic industries |/Jivi>iiwv ? ) Iivuovo MUliL uciicr '11 tu . cheaper, out of such raw materials as sawdust, corncobs and cotton waste, and are already making* their promises good. The transparent sheet which makes your car's windshield shatterf proof is a plastic product. Now they are beginning to make camera lenses of the same type of transparent plastics. Some day ave may roof 1 over our city streets with transparent arches of plastic glass! * * * MEAT we import Americana eat more meat than any other people in the world. The American family which does not , have a meat mcai at least once a ^ day is a rarity. Iu most European countries the families which have meat to cat more than once a week are in the minority. Half of our farm lands and more than half of the farm population are engaged in the production of meat. Still, we are importing more meat ' foods than we export. One of the things which make it ' difficult to generalize about farm J conditions is that there are so many different kinds of farming. What is true of the wheat farmer or the 1 cotton grower is not necessarily true of the livestock and poultry farmers. The only agricultural generalization which stands up at all times is that 1 the "family farmer" who produces 1 his own family's food is not in danger of starvation, even if he doesn't 1 take in much cash. * * ? PIE for breakfast ] iljp in Vermont they are bemoaning the decline of the ancient Yan- , kee custom of eating pie for breakfast. Middlebury College is starting . t a movoment to restore the practice of starting the day with pie and cof- , , fee. , I am all for that. In my New England boyhood we always had pie for breakfast. Everybody did. I , I don't know where the idea started ; that it was unhealthful. 1 don't be- ! lieve it. Any kind of pie is good for , breakfast ? 'open-faced, cross-barred or kivercd" as my grandmother | used to classify pics. But on the , whole the best standby is apple pie. j For one thing, you can make it at all seasons, now that canned apples , are available everywhere. Apple pie for breakfast 365 days in the year , never hurt anybody. A good apple pie is almost a completely balanced meal in itself. It has the proper proportions of fats, starches, fruit acids, sugar and all the rest of the vitamins and proteins to sustain life indefinitely, I.et's all eat more of it for breakfast! ? * ? NEWSPRINT .... in the south 1 I saw a Savannah newspaper the 1 other day printed on newsprint made from southern pine wood. "News- ' print" is the trade term for white ] paper of the kind this newspaper is 1 printed on. Ail newsprint is made $ of wood pulp, but up to now, the only kinds of wood which have been 1 used for newsprint are northern < spruce, hemiock and fir. The result i is that the newspapers of America 3 have become dependent on foreign ) countries, mainly Canada, for their white paper. We've cut off most of 3 our own puipwood. ] The discovery by Dr. Charles H. ] Herty of a process of malting newsprint from southern pine is the be- i East Tennessee & Western North , Carolina Motor Transportation Company. < Buses leave Boone for Johnson City, ' Knoxville, Chattanooga, all Ala- , j hurt,a and Western States points at , 7:30 a.m.; 12:20p.m.; and 9:05 p.m. ( Leave Boone for Lenoir, Hickory, StatesvHle, Salisbury, Charlotte, Ashevil'.e, Wilmington and all ' South Carolina, Georgia and Flor- i ida points at 8:25 a, m.; 1:10 p. m.; and 5:10 p. m.

Pine can be used when it is only seven years old; spruce is not big enough to cut until it is thirty. On millions of acres of southern land, slash pine grows like weeds. It can be cut for pulpwood and a new crop grown in seven years. We are no longer dependent on Canada tor an essential staple. The first commercial paper mill to make newsprint from southern pine is now being euiit. It's a star t toward a new prosperity for the south. * 9 ? WORK and be happy The longer I live the plainer it seems to me that there is only one secure way of living, and that is by individual hard work. But it is a misLake to imagine that one cannot work hard and be happy at the salne time. One of the most inspiring things I have read recently was a report by Rose Lena Anderson of Clackamas, Oregon, Rose is the national cham-A V7 ..I,.v. -.1-1 41 i"v;i t-j.* i-avi^icui t.iuu gu: ivi uic 1936. In her report of her farm work, she wrote: "One year at our fair I cr.tcied the farmerette contest. I had to do four household tasks?make a bed, darn a sock, bake a cake and set a table. Also I had to do four farm chores in front of the grandstand?milk a cow, harness and drive a team, husk corn and pitch hay. I won S10, the easiest money I ever made." How many young women would call that "easy" money? Rose, at least had not been led astray by the false doctrine that "only saps work." SOIL-BUILDING CROPS ARE ON THE INCREASE North Carolina farmers who cooperated in the soil conservation program last year increased their acreage of soil-conserving crops by 550,000 acres, according to E. Y. Floyd, of State College. After tabulating figures compiled from the work sheets covering the co-operating farms, the state AAA office announced that 1,000,000 acres of conserving crops, mainly icgumes, were seeded last year as a direct result of Use program or in connection with it. Aji even larger acreage is being seeded this year as farmers take advantage of the opportunity to build up their soil, check erosion, and balance their farming operations while earning payments from the government, Floyd said. He also pointed out that last year some 550,000 acres of cotton land were diverted into conserving crops; 200,000 acres of tobacco land and 10,000 acres of peanut land were also ii verted. Ru /<i\?oi4incr />aoh r\ /it-.-i'i cV.? and carrying out. soil-building praeLices, Nortli Carolina farmers earned $12,403,903 in 193G. Similar rates of payment are offered again this year. In 1936,, more than 127,000 work sheets were signed, covering 14.>00,000 acres of farm land. Of this icreage. 5,750,000 acres were considered crop land. With additional work sheets signed this year, it is expected that 150,000 >r more work sheets will be in force for the 1937 program. The deadline for signing a work sheet is June 12. However, farmers who had work sheets last year will sot need to sign. BAIT WILL CONTROL TOBACCO BUD WORMS A pinch of poisoned bait will proLed the tobacco plant from budworms, which aie active from the lime the plants are six inches high until time for topping. E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco specialist at State College, says two pounds of arsenate of lead mixed irifVl Kft rvMinrta r\f moal molra. o good bait. The bait should be placed in the buds as soon as worms are discovered. Repeat the application in ibout two weeks; this will eradicate practically all the budworms and most of the early hornworms as well. Floyd also pointed out that the ridge method of cultivation "will produce $60 worth of tobacco more per acre than will the flat method. The first cultivation should begin as soon as the plant shows signs that it is taking root. Cultivate lightly and use a hoe to break the crust around the little plants. Continue cultivating every week ar ten days until about a week before the plants are to be topped. In the second cultivation, begin putting the soil up around the plants to make them develop more roots higher up on the stalk. Each time the crop is cultivated, work more soil up around the plants with the siding furrows, but be careful not to disturb the root systems. The middles of the rows should be scattered each time the tobacco is sided; don't permit the soil to be come nara ana crusieu, as tms will check root growth and thus hinder plant growth. VPS TOO BAD. WHEN \ THINK YOU'LL HAVE^J WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EV1 Bale 5-Minute Bioqi Author of "How to W, and Influence Pec Tbrre Words?"Can Yon C'ook ?" Led Iltm to the Ends of the Earth. Martin Johnson, who photograph! ed thousands of Hons in the wilds jof Africa, killed only two. He tol l I me that during twenty months of i his last stay in Afi ica he saw more j lions than he had ever seen before; yei. ne never tired a gain once. In fart, he didn't even carry a gun. Some African explorers like to come back and tell about their blood-curdling experiences: but Martin Johnson believed that he or any other man who really knows the Wild AwWntn qC * CCJTi WCilC from Cairo to the Cape armed with nothing more deadly than a bamboo walking stick and never suffer any harm. Martin Johnson started roaming the world when he was fourteen years old. His father was a jeweler in Independence, Kansas, and when Martin was a boy he used to unpack the crates that came from the farflung corners of the compass. He was fascinated by the strange colorful names on the labels?Paris. Geneva, Barcelona, Budapest and he determined to put the dust of those towns under his feet. So one day he ran away, tramped over the United j States and finally shipped on a cattle boat to Europe. Landing in the old world, he worked at anything- he could find, but he couldn't, always find work. He went hungTy in Brussells: in Brest, he stood gazing across the Atlantic, discouraged, and homesick: and in London, ho had to sleep in packing boxes. In order to get back to America and Kansas he hid himself as a stowaway in the lifeboat of a steamship hound for New York. Then something happened which changed the course of his whole existence ami set him out on trails of glaimorous adventure. An engineer on the boat showed him a magazine containing an article by Jack London. Jack London in this article told how he intended to make a trip omtin/1 t-Nrt - inn- - * , Ukywrra Hit vvuuu 1X1 it ILL Lit; LlJU Lyfoot boat called the Snark. As soon as Johnson arrived home in Independence, he wrote a letter to Jack London. He poured out ills soul in eight feverish pages, and begged to go along on that trip. "I've already been abroad/' he wrote. "I started from Chicago with $5.50 in my pocket, and when I got back, 1 still had twenty-five cents." Two weeks passed?two weeks of nerve-wracking suspense. And then came a telegram from Jack London. It contained only three words?three words that changed Martin Johnson's life. "Can you cook?" the telegram inquired with telegraphic abruptness and brevity. Could he cook? Why, he couldn't even cook rice. But he wired back precisely three words?"Just try me?"then he went out and got himself a job in the kitchen of a restaurant. And when the Snark finally sailed across the rippling waters in San 1 r i .uiuuiui nay, ami nosen across Ene Pacific, Martin Johnson was aboard as chief cook ami bottle washer. Almost thirty happy years have passed since then?years packed with action, for Martin Johnson sailed the seven seas and roamed all over the world from the coral island of the South Seas to the jungles of dreary, darkest Africa. He made the first pictures of cannibals ever shown in tills country. He has photographed pigmies and giants, elephants and giraffes, and made pictures of all the wild life in the African veldt. He has brought back a whole hJoah's Ark of fantastic creatures?brought back spools of celluloid film that have been shown upon thousands of moving picture screens. He has captured an imperishable record of a perishing wild animal life?a photographic record that your great grandchildren may enjoy generations from now, when the many wild animals of Africa no longer exist. Martin Johnson told me that a well-fed lion that has never been molftstpri hv mnn \iH11 rwtr Tirt |tion whatever to the scent of a human being:. He has driven his automobile into the midst of a bunch of fifteen lions and the lions just lay there and blinked like pussy cats One lion even came over and starter ,-to chew the front tire. Another time he drove his car so close to a lioness that she could have reached out and touched it with her paw?but she didn't even so much as twitch a whisker. 'I asked him: "Are you trying to tell me that a lion is really a goodnatured beast?" And he said: "Good heavens, no! The best way I kno v to commit sui( TOMORROW, ) ( WITHOUT FAIL / / 1 5RY THURSDAY?BOONE, N. C ~7 irrnqie ! raphies r ??Friends ri/u* jq in tryst si iion, ^vhy, you 1 never know when he's going to be- come suspicious and turn on you.' And there's nothing in the world j more dangerous than a charging j lion. It's just like having a hundred j pounds of dynamite coming at you." j I asked hini what lie considered j his narrowest escape and he said: I "Oh. there have been lots of close, calls. But they're all fun." i One of his closest calls was in tlie j South Sea Islands, when he nearly ! ended up in a kettle of soup. That | was when he was getting the first j jpictuiv of CctiuiibtfLs ever Jittukr. White traders had been raiding j the cannibal island, kidnaping the ] natives and selling them into slavery. ! The cannibals were hostile and sus- I picious?and hungry. They had al- 1 ready killed a number of white men | and seized their goods; and after sizing up Martin Johnson, they fig- i ured that this chap from Kansas j would make a nice tender pot roast, for Sunday dinner. So while he was jbusy talking to the chief and laying ?, out the presents he had brought along, dozens o? cannibals began to gather out of the forest and surround him. Help was (miles away. He had a revolver, but he was out- ! numbered a hundred to one. A cold | sweat of fear stood out on his fore- ] head. His heart raced and pounded I but there was nothing to do but ap- j pear calm and keep on talking. And i all the time he was being crowded j in by a ring of greedy cannibals, ! j licking their chops in anticipation, j For the first time since he had leftj i Independence, Kansas, Johnson began to think it might not have been a bad idea if he'd gone into the jewelry business with his father. And then, just as the cannibals were about to rush, a miracle hap- , pened. Into tlie bay far below | steamed a British patrol boat. The | cannibals. Stared. They knew what that meant. Johnson stared too, j hardly able to believe his own eyes, i And then, with a low bow to the j chief, he said; "You see ray ship has i come for me. Glad to have met you | all. Goodbye." And before anyone | summoned enough courage to stop him, he made a dash for the shore. London.?In the imlddlA aw? nan. ! --o' " t'"f per was prized above all spices.
