SECTION TWO— State Home Agent Cites Importance HD Work in State Practical Information Is Taught By Demon stration Method BY RUTH CURRENT State Home Agent Not so long age this question was asked me, “Will you tell me what home demonstration work is?” I was amazed. In fact, the question bothered me —I am bothered now. Why ? Because we have had for more than 35 years a steadily growing or ganization in North Carolina. We think it is one among the best in thei nation. We have had excellent publicity; we have had many opportunities to tell of ( our program over radio. We have| home demonstration work in the 100 counties of the state and we have had for more than 15 years. It is true that people read only the things they are interested in, that they turn off their radios when they don’t want to hear certain programs. What’s wrong with our publicity, our radio programs? During the week of May 2-8, if we really want to, we can extend educa tional information on what home dem onstration work is and what it is meaning to the people of our state. We must be guided by the principle of “beginning where we are with ' what information we have.” Our in-. formation is, and our facts are, that, too few people—town, city and coun try—know what home demonstration work really is, what our objective, goals and ideals are. This is not the time to go out and quote figures, even though our fig ures are pretty wondeful. Ours is a great adult education program de signed to aid people in extending ed-j ucation in the field of home econom-1 ics. Home demonstration work is out of-school education for homemakers. The program is broad. It embraces all the phases of homemaking. It of- < fers a great variety of opportunities ! for learning. Practical information is taught by the demonstration method —learning by seeing, by doing. A large number of our club mem ] hers never had. the opportunity of; studying home economics. However.; through home demonstration clubs i women get both practical arid scien-' tific information in all areas of home-j making.. Training is given by home demonstration agents, and subject j matter specialists who have been trained in home economics. These highly-trained workers give to the j women with whom they work the best of. what they have, learned in college and what they are constantly learn ing—"they are keeping up with ail that is new in their field, in science and Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky 1 $4.15 JM 4/SQT. <■» *0.60 Isg PINT 86 Proof EARLY TIMES DISTILLERY COMPANY •v Louisville 1, Kentucky i' t Page Six rfiSTra-secondl 1 fa! sermons 1 TEXT: “Count what is in a man,', not what is on hint.” Henry Ward Beecher.

They took the body of a centipede, the wings of a butterfly, the legs of a grasshopper and the head of a beetle and glued them together to form a weird monster. With this creature in a box they visited Dar win. j “Please, sir,” they asked, “Will you I i tell us what sort of a bug this is?” The naturalist gave a quick glance I at the exhibit and a long look at the i boys.

We know that the home demonstra tion program (for adults) has broad ened in scope throughout the year to meet the increased needs and inter est of the homemakers. Community activities, cultural interests, and pub lic affairs all have an important place in adult education for homernakers to day. Our objective is building people, building ideals, building and training leaders. Recently, more than 500 inspiring [letters have come to me from home I demonstration club women from all , over North Carolina, which reflect . what home demonstration work is do ing.

LOS ANGELES 7, CALIFORNIA ■ Min ————; GARDEN TIME ROBERT SCHMIDT N.C.STATE COLLEGE A good lawn, well kept, is a beauti ful thing and is an asset to any prop erty. This is not the proper season to plant lawn grasses—except Ber muda and Centipede—but from now on through the hot weather is the criti cal period in the maintenance of the lawn. A lawn should be fertilized every five to six weeks throughout the grow ing season. If you haven’t already done so, put on an application of a good garden fertilizer such as a 6-8-6 at the rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Water this in or apply it just before a rain. For the re mainder of the season use about five (pounds of nitrate of soda per 1,000 Square feet at each application. This should be applied when the grass is dry and preferably just before a rain. Watering is a very important opera tion. Soak the soil thoroughly at least once a week during dry weather rath er than light sprinklings each day, although these light sprinklings do some good. Frequent cutting is desirable, but close cutting will do much harm to some of the better grasses such as bluegrass. Set the mower blades a little higher for these grasses. , If you have a good stand of grass ' "SPEEPV" /y CRU r toftus this V ALBEMARLE V* ALB E MARLEM OTDR C 0.

I have recently noticed advertise ments of a new spray for lawns that is supposed to keep grass from grow ing and, therefore, make mowing un necessary. This is a material known as maleic hydrazide, which stunts the growth of many plants. My advice is not to look for miracles. Don’t ex pect all the wonderful results that are claimed for it.
