OUT DOOR SCHOOL AT ROCKBROOK CAMP (Continued From 1‘uge One) been worked out by the children them selves and has proven successful. "Pooka and the knowledge and joy trained from bsoks are not all of education,” Mias Harrison believes and insists that “of equal importance , in the development of the child s ! whole personality is that he take part in the various phases of school life, j There is a general schedule of jobs about the houses and grounds, ar ranged by the Student Council. The., council assigns these jobs to diife’dht , children each week and bears the j responsibility or seeing that each job i is well done. In the school s sporting spuuc , diving, swimming, canoeing, sailing, basketball, volley ball, baseball, ten nis and horseback riding Kach, I according to Miss Harrison, “teaches ' its lesson in body control, quick thinking, discipline of self for the good of the group, self-contrel and the ability to take defeat graciously. “Tho changes from mountains to sea and an annual two or three days trip to some interesting spot in Florida stimulates the children in their scientific or historical studies, she said. An option five-day trip to Cuba is made during the spring vaca tion. Short trips are made frequently by the different groups. The school moves as a whole, from North Carolina to Florida either in the school busses or by train. There are accommodations at the Florida location for 30 resident pupils and 80 day pupils. SAVE ALL FORAGE FOR WINTER USE The drouth in the corn and live stock areas of the midwest has made it highly important that North Caro lina farmers save ell the feed and torage crops possible this year. Hardly a state in the drouth area produced enough feed to winter its livestock. There will be a call upon the southeastern states to supply the stricken area with feedstuff, says P. H. Kime, associate agronomist at tho North Carolina experiment sta tion, „ Production in North Carolina would be sufficient for ordinary con ditions, he said, but the state will soon have 75,000 to 100,000 extra cattle to feed in addition to supplying what feed it can to the drouth states. At least two tons of forage will be needed tor each animal. Kime recom mended that even the native grasses and other low grade forage crops be saved. The tanners should he careiui, however, to save seed for future use when harvesting soybeans, cow peas and lespedeza, as there will be a heavy demand for these seed next year, he said. Cowpeas may be cut for hay some time after the peas have been picked. Soybeans planted in rows should be harvested for seed, but broadcast plantings seldom make good seed and are difficult to harvest except with a combine. Therefore, he advised cut ting broadcast-planted soybeans for hay. Where lespedeza has been panned fur seed, the straw may be saved for forage. Although it is not so good for hay as that cut at the proper time, it still has a higher feed value than corn stover and many of the grass hays. This is not a good practice from a soil building standpoint. Kime observed, but is justified under pres ent conditions. Wheat and oat straw may be need ed for feed before the winter is over and he advocated the use of coarse grass, pine straw, or leaves for bed ding in order to save the wheat and oat straw. _:__mh| WHIRL AT THE WORLD OF NEWS Items of interest gleaned during the past week ■ ■ 1 - Offers RetViird Toronto—The Ontario government has offered a reward of $5,000 for information leading to the capture o: persons who kidnaped John S.

The positions women hold should be filled with men, thus decreasing unemployment and raising morale. -’ » Aluminium Workers End Strike Pittsburgh — Settlement of the month-long aluminum strike sending 8,700 workers back to their jobs, war. announced late tonight by a spokes man for the Aluminum Company of America and the aluminum workers' council.

Sunnyside Dairy THE GLAZENERS ■■«■■■ iii --v,v ' l&Buty Sparkles Beside Spark Plug , s . • ^_1 Crowds at the Firestone Factory and Exhibition Building at "A. Century of Progress” this year reached more than capacity pro portions when this charming miss was a visitor.

Philadelphia has declared war to the finish on importation of fuel it knows as “bootleg” but the state ad ministration is not disposed to take a position on the offensive. The coal originates in the anthra cite region “upstate,” particularly the lower section where countless men independent of the coal companies, are digging into the bowels of the earth for a livelihood. They are chiefly mine workers for whom there is no work except what they make for themselves.

AND CLOVER — BUILD CROF YIELDS S gv]||[-§M§ Last year a piece of bottom land owned by 4. B. Echerd of Alexander county produced 110 bushels of corn by actual measure though the land h8d been in corn continuously for the past 25 years. “The answer is that, every winter, this soil has been covered with a good crop of vetch and crimson clover," explains Enea C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College, who re ported the facts. "The legumes ore planted each fall and plowed undei the following spring ir. time for the coin crop to be planted. In spite of the good yields which Mr. Echerd has harvested there is as yet no apparent dimunition in the fertility of the soil. Prospects are good for a heavy crop of corn to be harvested from the bot toms this season.” Another farmer in Alexander coun ty, John Sipe, began growinyr vetch and crimson clover or. a piece of bot toms ir. 1920. At that time, the land was producing an average of about 20 oushels of corn to the acre. Last year it produced 60 bushels and the crop in 1.934 looks better than it did in 1933. But vetch and clover are not the only two legumes which build soils, Mr. Blair points out. On the farm belonging to the Barium Springs Orphanage in Iredell county, alfalfa is the principal crop. This institution has two large fields seeded—on one field the crop is four years old and on the other, eight years oid. DespiteJ this, the alfalfa was free of weed* and crab grass due to regular eultiva-1 tior. with a spring tooth harrow. Lht l two fields have averaged three ton- ot 1 hay to the acre £0 far this season and I the land is improving in fertility. 1 Alfalfa hay is now selling for 330 j a ton in North Carolina at farm| prices and the average of three tons| to the acre being harvested means j an income of ?90 an acre. The main tenance cost after the first planting is practically nothing, Mr. I3:air says. ! ' "" Leg-Power BoeU Note from the magazine Asia.
