NATIONAL JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUA
Organization Projected Especially for
Training: of the Youth—Gives Chil
dren Something to Do and Think
About—At School Opening the
Time to Start.
t
. With popular interest in all
phases of child training at its
height because of the opening of
the schools throughout the nation
this week, the Chautauqua Man
agers' Association of America and
Canada has just announced,
through its appointed committee,
Dr. Paul M. Pearson of Swarth
more, Pa., Mr. A. C. Coit of Cleve
land, Ohio, and Mr. Loring White
side of New Ilaven, Conn.,' a
potable plan f6r a National Junior
Chautauqua Organization.
Junior ' Chautauqua work has
grown to such an extent that the
various Chautauqua managers,
who, as a part of their Chautau
qua service during the past de
cade have beon bringing super
vised play and elementary train
ing in social service aud civic
government to the children of
"Main Street," have secured the
services of an Advisory Commit
tee of four of the best known
authorities in the country on
young peoples development, to
coordinate the work into a na
tional unit and map out a com
prehensive plan for a period of
years. This Advisory Committee
consists of
Dr. R. Lovejoy, General
Secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee, Washington,
D. C.*^
Dr. S Josephene Baker, Di
rector Bureau Child Ilygene,
Department of Healthy New York
City.
Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, Pro
fessor of Recreation, Teachers'
(College, Columbia University,
New York City.
O. H. Benson, Director Junior
Achievement Bureau, Eastern
States League, Inc., Springfield,
Mass.
The Junior Chautauqua enroll
ment now numbers 1,000,000 boys
and girls between the ages of six
and fourteen. Its activities are
conducted in connection with the
regular Chautauqua program now
held in 9,000 towns in every State
in the United States, and reach
ing 10,000,000 people annually.
The Junior Chautauqua activi
ties are especially panned for the
chitfft-en of the smaller tpwns and
cities. The week's Junior pro
gram includes games, stories, and
pageantry under the direction of
a trained leader. It is a "recre
ational oasis" in. the child life of
the town. The Junior citizens
are organized into a miniature
municipality and elect their May
orj Town Clerk, and Law Making
Commissioners. During the week
tne activities of "Junior Town"
are directed in a parliamentary
manner by the duly elected of
ficials. As a part of their "Jun
ior community" work the small
citizens carry out in each town
some kind of community service.
Swimming pool funds are-started,
hospital beds endowed, poor child
ren helped. But the training in
service is the main objective.
The Directors of the children's
work in the various Chautauqua
systems of the country, met re
cently in Chicago and organized
the National Association of Junior
Chautauqua "Directors. Miss Ida
M. Loseth of the Ellison-White
Chautauquas of Portland, Oregon,
was chosen President, and Miss
Mary L.-Flynn, of the Swarthmore
Chautauquas, Swarthmore, Pa.,
was elected Secretary. At this
meeting it was decided to use on
Chautauqua circuits, tile prize
pageant, "Conquests of Peace."
The author of the winning
pageant is Miss Mabel Wain, a
Senior in Swarthmore College,
'Swarthmore, Pa.
• Dr. Paul M. Pearson, Chairman
of the Managers' Committee on
the National Junior Chautauqua,
and also President of the Inter
national Lyceum aud Chautauqua
Association, voices the importance
which the Chautauqua managers
attach to this educational and rec
reational work with the children
of the smaller communities by
saying: "Chautanqtia managers
consider no phase of their work
more important than the work
with the children. This new plan
for a National Junior Chautauqua
Organization m a permanent in-
THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
vestment in the town, which will
make all the work more enduring
and which, if properly directed
and handled, bids fair to t ike i's
place as one of the potent pres
ent-day factors in the proper
direction of the physical, mental,
and social activities of our young
people."
Already one of the most widely
used songs in schools, playgrounds
and community centers, is the
"Towu Song" written especially
for Junior Chautauqua. Its re
frain runs:
I am proud of My Town,
Is My Town proud of me?
and this is the heart of the mes-i
sage which the National Director
of Junior Chautauqua, who is to
for 1923, will carry
to the Chautauqua towns. No
louuer are statesmen to be merely
"born here is a definite attempt
to "make" theih.
Schools and Democracy.

What should be said of a world
leading democracy wherein 10 per

understand them when delivered,
or read the letters sent them from

What should be said of a democ

to consider the wisdom of form

ing judgment upon a code which
will insure the freedom of the
seas, or of sacrificing the daily
stint of wheat and meat for the

GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1922
FOR PERMANENT PASTURES.
Grass Mixtures Suitable for the Pied
mont and Mountain Sections of
North Carolina.
By C. B. Williams, Chief, Divis
ion of Agronomy.
In order to produce and main
tain work and other live-stock
most profitably on North Carolina
farms, more grasses and clovers
for pasturage and hay will have
to be produced than have been
grown heretofore. . Our people
have not generally learned the im
portance value of pasturage
in the production of hogs, cattle,
poultry and work stock. Many
seem to think that grasses am}.-
clovers, suitable for pastTTFage
purposes will not grow in most
portions of the State. In most
cases this is a mistake, if proper
precautious are observed, and the
prevalence and influence of this
idea has frequently made live
stock raising unproductive. Gen
erally, in order to produce pork,
beef, milk and butter, eggs ami |
poultry cheapest, the grower must
provide good pasturage through
out a greater portion of th 6 year.
If tH&pre pasturage is provided
the animals the cost for supple
mentary feeds, certainly during!
the spring and summer months,
may be greatly reduced. Except |
near the larger cities, in the easel
of milk cows (and even here it is
advisable and in most cases neces
sary), can the farmer produce and
market his produce at a profit
without pasturage, and even in
this case the margin of profit will j
usually be small, unless he has
some succulent feed to take the
place of the pasture. In this cir
cular, only those grasses and
clovers suitable for pasturage pur
poses will be discussed.
Pasture Mixtures.
In pasture mixtures it is desired
that the combinations embrace
grasses that begin growth early
in the spring and grow through
out the summer and earfy fall.
The mixtures should also, as
nearly as possible, be made up ol
grasses that attain their maximum
development in succession
throughout the greater part of the
year, so that, although the nature
of the pasturage may be gradually
changing somewhat as the season
advances, abuudant
always be provided during a nor
mal season, if the number of ani
mals per acre is not too l§rge.
Timothy, Orchard, redtop, Bermu
da, tall meadow oat, and the rye
grasses are the chief grasses, aud
alfalfa, white, red, mammoth
(sapling), alsike and Japan clover
are the main clovers used for
making pastures. Alfalfa, where
it can be grown successfully, is
one of the very best plants to grow.
It will provide an abundance of
rich, succulent food for the stock
during a larger part of the year,
if it is properly managed. It
should be stated however, that
this legume has not up to the pre
sent succeeded verj\well in most
sections of the State. Bermuda
grass is well Suited for making
permanent pastures in the Pied
mont section, specially for those
lands that have washed or are
quite rocky and could not profit
ably be brought under cultivation
for general cfops. It should not,
however, be put on laud that is
to be used only temporarily for
pasturage purposes. The follow- j
ing mixtures for the Piedmont
and Mountain sections of North
Carolina are recommended:

How Much Cottonseed Meal'
for Cows and Hogs.
The Progressive Farmer.
We doubt if it is ever advisable 1
to feed a dairy cow more than
four pounds of cottonseed meal a
day, if the feeding is to be contin
ued for any considerable period.
A cow giviug 34 pouuds of milk a
day aud oif green pasture will
probably use as much as 5 pounds
of cottonseed meal a day to ad
vantage and without injury, but
we thi.uk it better to stop at 4
pot/uds of meal aud make up the
balance of the ration with some
other rich protein feed like pea
nut meal, linseed meal, gluten
feed, etc., if more protein is re
quired. In fact, now that potion
seed meal is rajher high priced,
we think four pounds a day
should be the maximum fed to
any cow.
Probably one pound a day is as
much cottonseed meal as should
ever be fed to a hog. When the
quantity is not limited to a pound
a day, we would still make up not
more than one-fourth of the ration
with cottouseed meal. One of
cottonseed meal to three parts of
corn by weight is often m»«d.
CAROUNAS EXPOSITION
Organization of Forces for Details of
Exposition to Open Sept. 25th.
Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 4. -The
Made-ln-Carolinas Exposition
which is to be held here Septem
ber 25th to October 7th iB rapidly
assuming the proportions of a
complete whole. The Board of
Directors has recently busied It
self witty perfecting the personnel
of the organization which will
cure for the actual details of the
undertaking.
Wade 11. Williams has been
uamed General Manager and
with the cooperation of Executive
Secretary J. C. Patton will from
this time forward be actively in
charge of the Exposition's pre
liminaries. Asteeringcommittee,
consisting of President John L.
Dabbs, Executive Secretary Pat
ton, Messrs. J. B. Efird aud David
Ovens, has been selected by the ;
Board to settle all matters of pol
icy which may arise, to handle all
small emergencies such as are in
evitable on the eve of so large an
undertaking and iu general to act
with* the lull authority of the
Board from now until the final
curtain falls on the Exposition on
October 7th.
Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick is organ
izing a reception committee which
when complete will number one
hundred or more aud .will have
charge of the entertainment of
the Carolinas Exposition Com
pany's special guests and of the
visitors who will attend from the
surrounding territory on "special
town" days. Col. Kirkpatrick
announces that the personnel of
this committee has already been
completed to such a degree that
he is assured of the active sup
port of the very people he would
select, were he tiiven a free hand,
unobstructed by previous engage
ments of an interfering kind.
Within the last few days a num
ber of prospective exhibitors have
given personal inspection to their
space in the building and framed
•preliminary plans for the ereotion
of their respective booths and the
placing of their exhibits. Among
those have been A. B. Carter of
Gastonia, J. B. Pettibone of Pine
hurst, N. C., representing Sweet
Valley Products Company, John
M. Brown of Winston-Salem, rep
resenting Nissen Wagon Com
pany, Mrs. 11. C. Duke of Green
ville, S. C., and Earl Sherrill of
Statesville Flour Mills, States
ville, N. C.
The building itself is approach
ing readiness with a degree of
rapidity that is most gratifying to
the Board of Directors. The first
ply of the roof \p on and the floor
ings of both stories are receiving
their finishing touches.
General Manager Williams is
authority for the statement that
the second Made-In-Carolina's Ex
position is certain to open its
doors under bright auspices and
will be ready on September 25th
to welcome a host of visitors who
will be given opportunity to learn
more of the great Carolina-Pro

Wage Changes in Other Countries.
Charlotte Observer.
* In view of the recent disputes
of National character with regard
to wage reductions, it is interest
ing to uote the trend of wages in
other countries. In the publica
tions of the International Labor
Office some information of value
on this subject can be fouud.
Taking, as an example, our great
est competitor, England, we find
that t.ie skilled workers in 11 dif
ferent industries have had their
wages reduced an average of 25
per cent during the period from
June, 1921, to June, 1922. This
average reduction included,among
others, a reduction of wages in
the coal mining industry of 20 per
cent, in the railway service of 16
per cent for engineer, in the cot
ton mills of 33 1-3 per cent,-and
in the woolen mills of 40 percent.
An even greater reduction of
wages is found iu those of com
m'on labor or non-skilled workers.
An average of the reductions for
five different industries shows a
decrease of a little more than 30j
per ceut. The greatest d« crease |
was in laborers in the shipbuild
ing industry, where wages drop
ped 36 per cent during the year, j
while the least decrease was fofi
laborers in the engineering indurf 1
try, 22 per aent.
In Australia, after a conference!
between the coal operators and;
the Council of the Workers' In-j
dustrial Union of Australia, it
was announced that the coal mine,
owners had requested a reduction !
in wages of 331-3 percent, the|
discontinuance of the piactice ol I
supplying coal free at less than i
market prices, aud a system of
two shifts of eight hours each.
The conference adjourned to al
low the miners' representatives to
confer with officials of the Union.
At Wellington, New Zealand,
the Arbitration Court issued an
order on May 1, making a reduc
tion in the wages of miners in coal
mines of about 13 per cent. The
order reduces the wages of mini
mum time rate men from 16 to 14
shillings per day, with corres
ponding reductions iu the rates of
pieceworkers.
Put 10 to 25 Breeding
Ewes on Your Farm.
R. W. Scott, iu The Progressive
Farmer.
We have been growing sheep in
a small way for 40 years or more,
and no animal has paid us better
for the amount of money invest
ed. They will do the same for
others if given a chance.
The size of the flock will depend
upon conditions, but from 10 to
25 breeding ewes make a nice
flock.
Sheep are naturally adapted to
the South, the mild winter aud
long growing seasons being favor
able. Sheep are easily grown,
not any more su ject to disease
than any other auimals. But you
can't succeed by placing them off
on the creek or iu a pine thicket
and leaving them to care for
themselves, subject to attack by
dogs. They require feed and good
pastures, but tiff more so than do
poultry, hogs, cows, or any other
livestock.
Sheep will Improve the pasture!
they run on by keeping down!
weeds and evenly distributing the
manure over the field. So much
value is placed upon sheep ma
nure that seedsmen are advertis
ing it in their catalogs and selling
in packages, 1 suppose, ty farmers
throughout the country.
The sheep is a producer of the
best ineatitud at the same lime is
growing wool that can be made
into the host of blankets aud
good , for family use. No other
animal dots this. Think of what
it would mean to each farmer and
the South as a whole If we could
keep here the inouey that gefes to
the West aud North to pay for
blanket* and woolen goods that
we can grow here—aud at the
same time* add fertility to our
soils!
Sheep will pay on many farms
where beef cattle will not. They
come to maturity quickly, and
the lambs are in demand at high
prices. There will always be a
demand for good mut
ton. There is ou almost every
farm, laud that is uot producing
any th i ng, tli at could" be inade to
grow sheep.
