16,846,000 LACKING FXJLL-TIME JOBS Labor Gets Report On Unemployment San Francisco.—An estimate that 16,846,322 persons were either un employed or working only part' time in the United States the first | three months of 1934 was an-| nounced here by a Boston delegate to the American Federation of Labor convention on the basis of aj government-sponsored survey in' Massachusetts. The total of actually unemploy-! ed was placed placed at 9,326,514; by Robert J. Wyatt, representing [ the Massachusetts State Federation of Labor, who made public the re- j port to the A. F. L. convention. | The results of the survey, he said, indicate previous estimates of the total unemployed or working only part time are "far too con servative.’’ Massachusetts was taken as the basis of the survey because con ditions in that state were believed fairly representative of the entire country. A house-to-house canvass in Massachusetts disclosed, Watt an nounced, that of 1,808,840 persons able and willing to work, 34.5 per cent, or 624,5 26 were "either un Constipation Symptoms Soon -Go Away After Use of Black-Draught Mrs. S.

Allowing that Massachusetts is a fair state for comparison, these figures were carried out to indw cate the total similarly situated in the country as a whole. Census statistics for 1930 placing the total persons employable in the United States at 48,829,920 were used in arriving at the total na tional estimate. Latest previous estimates by the A. F. L. placed those unemployed or temporarily employed on gov ernment relief projects in the na tion at around 10,000,000, while the United States Chamber of Com merce as recently as last August estimated approximately 5,000,000 lacked jobs. Expresses Doubt About Cotton Certificate Market Southern cotton growers will hardly be able to sell all of their surplus tax-exemption certificates this year, says Dean I. O. Schaub of State College. The surplus certificates will cover 1,639,474 bales, he said, while the overproducers will need only enough certificates to cover 431,223 bales. This means that growers with surplus certificates which are n~t sold this year will be allowed to hold them over until next year and use them in the selling of tax free cotton. In other words, said the dean, if a grower holds over one certificate and then gets a Bankhead allot ment of three bales next year, he can raise four bales ( selling three of them under next year’s certificates and the fourth under the certifi I ___ Let Os ' TUNE-OP" You* ®*d»o4 Yes, only $2.00 for a complete $ A check-up of your radio!

Eradicate Disease In Dairy Market Studies made by the North Carolina experiment station and the veterinary division of the state department of agriculture is help ing dairymen rid their herds of bang’s disease, according toi Dr. C. D. Grinnells, in charge of dairy research at State College. Veterinarians and dairymen over the State have been working with the experiment station and the ve terinary division during the past five years, he said, and deserve . credit for much of the work done, j The only way now known to ■ eliminate the disease is to remove i i from the herds all animals which j are infected. This means that dairy-1 , men have frequently had to slaugh- i ’ i ter some of their best animals, Dr. j Grinnells said, but they have made' : the sacrifice in the interest of the 1 future. Ij At present there are about 115 • : herds in the State which are known :, to be free from the disease, includ-1 'jing 5 5 which are complying with 3 the regulations govering the award of accredited herd certificates, i To aid in the fight against the '’disease, which is sometimes known s1 as contagious abortion, the U.

Bulletin On Pastures Issued At College I The value of pastures land me thods for starting and maintaining a good sod have been set fortl in a bulletin recently published b) the State College extension service The authors, E. C. Blair, exten sion agronomist, and A. C. Kimery extension dairyman, have gone inn detail in outlining the growing oi various types of pastures in dif ferent parts of the State. Pastures can be used to contro erosion and at the same time pro vide nutritious feed for live stock The authors point out the need o: erosion control in this State, when the damage is said to amount t( about $70,000,000 a year. Pasture grasses contain proteins minerals, vitamins, roughage, wate and other things .needed in live stock feed. When animals are no working, they can be turned inn a good pasture and kept in goo< condition without other feeds When animals are working, th amount of concentrated feed the; need is much less if they hav - access to a pasture. Pastures do best on heavy, rid s soils, but the grasses will also grov , on less fertile soils and farmer year.
