Harrell, Chairman of the County PMA
Committee has announced. The elec
tion will not be held in each com
munity on the same day. Farmers in
each community will be notified of
the place, date, and time of the elec
tion for their community.
Each farm owner, operator, tenant
or sharecropper, who is participating
in any program administered by the
County PMA Committee is eligible to
vote in his respective community elec
tion.
Voting this year will be by ballot
box method. In edch community farm
ers will vote for three regular cont
mittemen and two alternates and a
delegate to the county convention
where a County PMA Committee will
be elected.
The Committeemen elected in both
the Community and County
will take office immediately. The pro
grams administered by the Commit
teemen include the Agricultural Con
servation Program, Price Support
Programs, Marketing Quota and Acre
age Allotment Programs on tobacco,
peanuts, wheat, and possibly cotton,
and such other programs as we have
been or will be called on to carry
out.
Chairman Harrell points out that
this year when these programs are
geared to national readjustment of
production and farmers are being call
ed on to help meet the nation’s need,
the Committee elections take on add
ed significance. Those elected should
be farmers that the majority of the
farmers in each community want. The
programs they administer and the as
signments they carry out will affect
the production and marketing of the
products of every farm in the com
munity.
The 1954 Agricultural Conservation
Program will be explained to farmers,
and request for Federal cost sharing
in performing needed conservation
practices will be taken at the elec
tion meetings.
Mr. Harrell strongly urges every
farmer to go to the polling place in
their community and vote in the com
mitteemen election. Also make your
request for Federal cost gharing to
perform the conservation practices
needed on their farm.

Trees And Shrubs
Cut Street Noises
About 50 Per Cent
Landscaping with trees and shrubs
along streets and highways absorbs
considerable traffic and other noises,
in addition to relieving the home own
er from a constant view of whizzing
automobiles, according to the Ameri
can Association' of Nurserymen.
“The automobile is so vastly im
portant to our national pleasure that
traffic cannot be reduced,” says the
Association, “so the only logical so
lution to the problem is the wide
spread use of plant ‘buffers’ to abate
the noise. Countless abutting home
properties can be made far more de
sirable for living and their value
greatly increased by hedges and
trees."
The Association advises, if space
permits, the planting of a double row
of coniferous evergreen trees on the
street or highway side of the prop
erty should the noise be continuous
all year. If the noise should be
troublesome only in the summer
months, a planting of deciduous trees,
which shed their leaves may be suf
ficient. In cases where the noise is
only moderate or where ground space |
is at a premium, a single row of col
umnar type evergreens or a high
hedge will serve the purpose. The
noise is reduced in direct proportion
to the depth of the planting and the
denseness of the foliage.
For this reason, any dense grow
ing evergreen is ideal, such as hem
locks, firs, yews, spruces, arborvitae
and junipers. With a sprinkling of
flowering trees among them the strip
can be beautiful. Holly trees, in cli
mates where they may be grown are
evergreen, dense and ornamental.
Hedge materials for the purpose are
plentiful and varied. It is always pre
ferable to consult your local nursery
man with respect to your particular
soil and climatic conditions. One con
dition should be met conclusively,

however; you want plant material that
will be hardy in your area under all
conditions of cold, wet, heat, or
drouth.
The plant “buffer” also will tend to
guard your home against dust and
fumes from the street or highway.
In a test in New York City on the
leeward side of tree-covered Central
Park, it was found that the dust count
was reduced by 75 per cent.
According to Wilbur H. Simonson,
of the Bureau of Public Roads, U. S.
Department of Commerce, evergreen
trees credited with greater ability for
absorbing part of raucous sounds and
for scattering the remainder, there
by lessening the impact of the sound
on the property to the rear. Further
more, he said, they virtually eliminate
the echo factor.
Overall sound reductions by plant
“buffers” are estimated to be from

Army Laundromat
Banishes Washday
Blues From Korea
SEOUL—A mobile Army laundry—
almost as handy as the neighborhood
laundromat back home—is making
life easier, for soldiers of the Third
Infantry Division in Korea.
The laundry keeps a ready supply
of clean clothes always available for
them at shower units throughout the
Third Division area. Division soldiers
periodcally leave their positions, go to
the shower units to bathe and get
complete changes of clothing. '
The mammoth job of keeping more
than 17,000 soldiers in clean uniforms
is done by 10 men equipped with a 30-
pound washer, an extractor and a
drier.
The laundry—which washes 9,000
pounds of clothes a day and gives 48-
hour service—is mounted on truck
drawn trailers so it can follow the di
vision wherever it goes. The equip
ment is powered by a gasoline-engine
driven electric generator.. The work
is done during two 10-hour shifts each
day, with five men working each
shift.
“If one day’s washing were tossed
into a single pile, it probably would
reach as high as some of these Ko
rean mountains.” quipped First Lieu
tenant George Shofner of 203 'Wetter
mark Street, Nacogdoches, Texas. The
lieutenant is leader of the Quarter
master Field Service Platoon, Third
Quartermaster Company which op
erates the laundry.
Soiled fatigue uniforms, underwear,
socks, and other clothes are brought
to the laundry in trucks. They are

sorted according to the length of
time it takes to get them clean and
the temperature of the water used.
Woolens are washed at a temperature
of 90 degrees and cottons at a maxi
mum of 180 degrees. Hotter water
might shrink the clothes.
Miticide, an insect repellant, is add
ed to the wash water. Then the
clothes are sudsed three times and
rinsed twice—a process which takes
a maximum of 12 minutes even for
the dirtiest field trousers.
A two-minute stint in the extrac-
tor removes 70 per cent of the water
from the clothes.
The drier complete the laundry job,
and then the clothes are moved to a
tent to await pickup by units which
delivered them.
This modem, speedy laundry makes
it easy to keep busy soldiers in clean
uniforms and takes the drudgery out
of wash day for the men who man
the tubs.
