4-H canners need help
Four-H girls carrying on can
ning projects are faced with a seri
ous problem owing to the extreme
early hot weather and drouth which
is reducing the supply and variety
of sound fruits and vegetables.
Some girls have been fortunate in
starting to can early, making the
fullest use of berries and new gar
den products. Where these are yet
available club girls are urged to
make the largest possible use of
them lestdatersupplks fail.
A larJfliHIHWf the 5 50,000
girls enrolled in 4-H clubs is par
ticipating in the contest which is
sponsored by the Kerr Glass Cor
poration and provides gold medals
for county champions, a trip to the
13 th National Club Congress for
each state champion, and a $400,00
scholarship for the national winner.
Some fruit and vegetable growers
have been more fortunate, as usual,
than others in getting good crops
due to differences in soil, cultural
methods and varieties. These
growers ar¥ discovered by a little
inquiry and are usually glad to help
club members fill their needs.

DUKE ENDOWMENT
OPPOSES
The Duke Endowment thinks
the two and three-quarter million
dollar PWA loan to the Green
wood SoutS* Carolina, municipal
power plant would so compete with
the Duke Power company as to
seriously cripple the latter and
thwart its broad benefactions. It
is pointed out that the South Caro
lina project is in the nature of a
subsidy; would not be self-sustain
ing, and would serve its largest
purpose in berfefitii^g an unnamed
textile plant who seeks cheaper
power.
Some folks consider it hard times
to have to do any hard work.
1817 Transients , j
Aided By Local
FERA Bureau
(Continued from page one)
five negroes are worked daily on
the farm.
In the Recreation Hlall across
the street from the main building
the men are encouraged to play
games, read, study, sing, and
otherwise enjoy themselves when
not on duty. A piano, radio,
workroom and class room help in
this recreational program. The
men enjoy putting out a small
weekly paper, and also have a ful
ly equipped baseball team.
The bureau’s farm has become
a vital part of it’s constructive pro
gram. Within a short while, with
the proper cooperation, this center
expects to be self-sustaining and
hopes to have a surplus of farm
products to furnish other relief
centers. Forty-two thousand to
mato plants some two hundred
thousand sweet potato slips, along
with corn, sugar can^, pumpkins,
peas, and other vegetables have
been planted and present prospects
oint to a good crop. Two trac
tors were used in breaking the land
and three mules and sufficient
plows are a part of the permanent
equipment. This farm, although
only about a month old, shows that
wonderful results have been ac
complished by transients who were
branded as bums who would not
work.
In addition to the running of
the various shelters and working on
the farm, the transients will soon
have the opportunity to work in
an overall and shirt sewing room
which has been approved and the
machinery for which is now being
ordered. Plans are also under
way to arrange for a small laun
dry and canning equipment is be
ing provided for canning farm pro
ducts in the immediate future.
Each transient is required to
work thirty hours a week for which
he is paid ninety cents in addition
to his keep. Some few who occupy
key positions and act as petty of
ficers, or sergants, receive as high
as three dollars a week. Ample
opportunity is afforded these men
and women to occupy their minds
in the performance of a great va
riety of duties such as typing,
mimeographing, bookkeeping, bar
bering, cleaning and pressing,
domestic science, electrical and
plumbing experience, carpentering,
painting, telephone exchange op
eration, and most important of all,
personal hygiene and the value of
sanitation.
NRA Relaxes
Twq important relaxations in
NRA price policies have been or
dered by President Roosevelt.
'One executive order, seeking
keener competition for govern
ment contracts, allowed bidders to
quote prices as much as 15 per
cent below figures listed under
Blue Eagle codes. These lower
prices that would have to be filed
with code authorities so as to be
come available to the public.
A second order dropped fair
practice standards—including price
fixing—for America's service in
dustries and simultaneously offered
these 5 trade blanket agreements
on the Blue Eagle wage and hours
provisions for their several mil
lion workers. An opportunity for
local fair practice codes was left
open.
The presidential order and sup
plementary ruling by Johnson for
the new blanket agreements evi
denced an intention to speed to
conclusion the huge block of pro
| posed service codes which have
| been clogging NRA machinery for
i months.

BUILDER OF TOMORROW’S HIGHWAYS
TO BE BOTH ARTIST AND ENGINEER
America’s Turn to Emphasis
on Beauty Becoming Major
Factor in Road Building.
By SAMUEL BAKER,
Director, Schools of Civil Engineer
ing, International Correspondence
Schools.
WITH touring by motor car over
the nation’s highways firmly
established as one of our chief
forms of recreation, signs are mul
tiplying that in building our road3
of tomorrow the highway engineer
will pay careful attention to fea
tures that have usually received
from him only secondary considera
tion in the past. The highway engi
neer or me luiure wm
combine with his engi
neering skill many ot
th*e functions of tha
landscape artist.
Preservation of tha
natural beauties of tha
roadside and provisions
for the comfort of users
of the highway are rap
idly becoming major
factors in the construc
tion of our roads. It is
no far-fetched vision to
foresee the day when
it will be generally ac
cepted that the planning of high
ways should include provision for
small park? at intervals along the
way, where motorists can stop for
lunch, to rest, or to stretch cramped
.legs. Much has already been accom
plished in this direction, but it is
still only a start. Strategically lo
1 cated nurseries where trees, shrubs,
and flowers can be raised for park
and roadside planting will be con
sidered as necessary to a state high
way organization as its graders and
power shovels.

which future highway planning will
provide for.
Light standards and guard rails
will be designed to harmonize with
the surroundings. Where a grove of
magnificent trees can be saved by
a change in the route, the change
will be made even if it will involve
additional cost. There will be more

cliffs and along sheer canyon walls,
in spite of the fact that it would
often be less costly to blast away
those irreplaceable landmarks.
Where excessive grading is not a
determining factor, a relatively
straight line between two points is
usually the most economical route
for a highway. Beauty, however,
often demands a winding alignment
along the natural contours of the
landscape.
In many phases of American life
there is evidence that we are turn
ing from an absorbed concentration
upon utility to emphasis upon beauty
of design. Highway design will not
escape the trend, and on the high
way engineer will devolve the re
sponsibility for the best possible
compromise between the conflicting
requirements of utility and art.

der.
Furthermore, if the amount of
land the grower has in cotton is
going to product without side
dressing all the poundage he will
be allowed to sell, then no nitrogen
should be added to thfej soil.
On light lands 100 to 125 pounds
of nitrate of soda per acre will
provide all the side dressing needed
under average normal conditions:
From 75 to 100 pounds per acre
is elnough for sandy loam. Heavy
sandy loams, clays, and similar
soils require only 50 to 75 pounds
to the acre.
Only readily soluble forms of
nitrogen should be used; such as
nitrate of soda, sulphate of am
monia, Iqunasalpeter, calurea, cal
nitro, urea, and other inorganic
sources of nitrogen.
Best results will be obtained
when corn and cotton, ard side
dressed early, according to the re
sults of experiments made by the
agronomy department of the North
Carolina experiment station at
Raleigh.
Both of these crops absorb most
of the nitrogen used in the pro
duction of se^d during the early
period of the plant’s development.
Usually corn should be side dress
ed when knee high and cotton at
the first or the second cultivation
after chopping.
Many farmers have been misled
by the fact that late applications of
nitrogen are effective in increasing
the yield and color of stover, but
this does not mean that thd maxi
mum yield of grain is obtained.
Late applications of nitrogen to
cotton increase the growth o# the
plant but delay the maturiy of the
boll, both of which need to be
avoided when boll weevils are
present.
If a good growth of legumes
has been turned under before
planting the corn, the amount of
side dressing needed will be much
less. In the case of cotton and
some other crops, the side dressing
may be omitted entirely if the crop
follows a good legume turned un

In Minnesota a snare plan nas
worked well, as in some other
states. It works like this: If A
has the jars and B does the work
and has the products A gets one
fourth. If A has the jars and pro
duct and B supplies work and
equipment they go 50-50. If A
has the products only. A gets one
fourth. If A has the jars and
equipment and B supplies the re
mainder they sharia 50-50. If A
has only the equipment A gets one
fifth. The plan may be altered
to suit varying situations.
Fcbd products not commonly
canned are being made more use of
this year. These include such as
mushrooms, sweet corn, peas in
the pod where the crop is short,
field peas, cowpeas, dandelion and
other wild greens, melon rind, and
others which will be suggested by
these. In spite of the drouth club
members and leaders need not lack
products if they will "dust around”
a little to secure them.
