By HARRY VENTERS
Assistant County Agent
Now is the time to begin work
on your 4-H projects, especially
crop and garden projects, home
grounds beautification and oth
ers.
No matter what you are plan
ning to grow—corn, cotton, pea
nuts, vegetables, or flowers and
shrubs, a soil sample report will
help you. Many times we wait
too late to take our soil samples
and we do not get the report
back in time to take advantage
of the fertilizer recommendations.
You can avoid this easily by
sending in your samples now.
Then you will have ■plenty of
time to plan your crop needs.
Just as you cannot develop
strong, healthy bodies without
proper food, neither can a plant
grow and develop properly un
less it is properly fed. A soil
test will tell you what foods
you need to add to the soil for
a properly balanced diet for your
crop.
It is very important to take
a soil sample properly. Unless
the soil you send in truly rep
resents a field, then the report
will not be correct. If you don't
know how to take a sample, call
me at 3128 and I’ll be happy
to show you how. Soil sample
boxes and mailing cartons are
available at our office in the
Post Office building.
Another project that you
should be working on is your
4-H Health Improvement project.
For some reason, perhaps be
cause all 4-H’ers are asked to
take part in this project, many
of you do not take this project
seriously. Let me assure you i
that no project you take can!
mean more to you. Os course,!
you have to work at it to bene-|
fit, just as is the case in so 1
many other things. Why don’t
you get out your record book'
and Health Improvement Guide!
right now and start making some j
plans for this project. Os

New Administration Presi
dent-elect Kennedy may not
have a Rooseveltian mandate, but
he has a working knowledge of
both the Senate and the House.
He has a reservoir of good will
to carry with him in many of
the matters that he has proposed.
I do not know what exact forms
legislation will take in specific
areas since the new administra
tion has not submitted its pro
gram to the Congress. Thus far
the President-elect has been
leery of ushering in his admini
stration with a stormy note on
the majority vote amendment to
the Senate Rules on cloture.
1 Hodges lt was a delight
to me to see President-elect Ken
nedy give North Carolina recog
nition in the selection of former
Govetrnor Luther H. Hodges to
be his Secretary of Commerce.
Luthier Hodges will bring a good
approach to the problems that
confront every Secretary of Com
meTco. I shall urge his confir
mation for this important post
win?™ the matter somes to the
Senate for its approval.
l course, everyone, boys and girls,
men xind women, want to be
I healthy. We forget that in order
I to be. (we have to do our part.
Your Health Improvement rec
ord bo t k is divided into three
sections 4 It suggests that you
! make a ’ list of the things needed
to improve your own personal
■ health, yaur family’s health, and
the health of yoor community.
This third part particularly may
require some help from others.
Maybe several of you in the
same neighborhood can work on
a project together, such as fly
or rat control, oar just removing
some hazards that may rause
accidents or making people more
safety conscious.
Whatever yottr project is, you
should become .familiar with the
requirements so you. can stay
ahead. Keep your record book

Educators In Favor
Regular Homework
Assignment In Ele
mentary Grades Pro
duce Higher Achieve
ment Later
Required homework, which in
recent years has been out of
favor among some educational
groups, is back in favor, accord
ing to Changing Times, the Kip
linger Magazine. ’
An item in the Schools and
Colleges column of the current
issue of the magazine reports a
shift of opinion among educa
tors, who recently have asserted
that homework contributes little
to academic achievement, espe
cially for children in the ele
mentary grades. Now, according
to the column, an exhaustive re
view reports these findings;
Experiments show that regu
larly assigned homework does,
favor higher academic achieve
ment. And homework in ele-|
mentary grades affects high
■ school performance, for study
techniques and attitudes are set
very early in a child’s school
career.
Arguments that homework may
have bad psychological effects
are not supported by research.
In fact, children “may feel more
secure and better oriented in the
classroom when they are doing
regular homework.”
Research indicates that requir
ed homework should be rein
stated in the elementary schools
and should be smoothly graduat
ed from a token five-minute or
so assignment in the first grade
to about two or three hours a
night in high school.
Parents should be expected to
provide good conditions for home
study, and their general interest
and supervision (but not specific
help) should be welcomed.
