ANSWER: The fertilizer used by many home gardeners, says H. R. Niswonger, State College Ex toviuinn Vinrtii-nlturist. is a com mercial mixture of a 5-7-5 analy sis. The amount required per 100 feet of row i3 1 1-2 pounds where the rows are 12 inches apart, 3 pounds where the rows are IS inches apart, 4 1-2 pounds where the rows are 24 inches apart, and 7 pounds where the rows are 36 inches apart. One pound of a 5-7.5 fertilizer will fill a one pint measure. New Publication Issued; Poultry Circular Revised QUESTION: How much span-: is required in storing canned foods? ANSWER: According lo Mr?. Cornelia C. Morris, Extension eco nomist in food conservation and marketing, pint and quart jars re quire 1J feet per 100 jam, stored two rows to the shelf; half gallon jars require 20 feet per 100 jars, stored two rows to the shelf; No. 2 1-2 cans require 0 feet per 100 ans, stacked 2 deep and stored 2 ows to the shelf; and pint glass Kittles require 0 feet per UK) bU ik's, stored 3 rows to the shelf. From the office of the Agricul tural Editor at N. C. State College comes the announcement that an Extension Circular (No. 248) has been published on "Lettuc Grow ing in North Carolina," and ttat Extension Circular No. 156, "How to Cull Poultry Flocks," has been revised. These publications are free up on request, by name and number to the Agricultural Editor, State Col lege, Raleigh. A list of other Ex tension and Experiment Station publications at State College will also be furnished free ti citizens of North Carolina. The lettuce circular was prepar ed by Robert Schmidt, assuciate horticulturist, and it points out the need for research work to develop better varieties before the com mercial lettuce acreage in North Carolina can be expanded. How ever, Schmidt sees an opportunity to develop a good home market for lettuce, especially in the mountain area.

Within 12 hours I was a different man, and I am convinced that the trouble with the world today is that not enough castor oil is being taken. Maybe if Hitler had been given a few good courses of castor oil a few years back he would not have gotten mad with everyone and started all of this mess. Judging from his appear ance in the photos published of him, what he needs most is a good dose of castor oil. That dose I took last week was the first I had taken since I was a little boy ex cept for the medicine glass full they gave me back in 1933 when 1 was dry-docked in the U. S. Marine hospital on Ellis Island, N. Y., to have certain "barnacles" eliminat ed from my hull. Incidentally the worst thing about taking castor oil is the thought of taking it, not actually doing it. HERE IS AN idea for some of the science students out at the school to work on if they would like to make a discovery which would not only make them rich but save navigation interests not thousands but millions of dollars annually: Create a coating which can be applied to thebottoms of ships which would prevent same e t !. c,,,'.. ' t .econunir touie.1 'n bar nacles and cither marine foulii growth. Scientists have for years been trying to discover such a coat ing but the only success they have had is to create coatings of paint which are too expensive to be prac tical. Such experiments have been carried on at the U. S. Fisheries laboratory here for a number ol years by the U. S. Navy and the Aluminum Corporation of America and by Dr. H. F. Prytherch and that by the way would be a good bit of held work of Mr. Davis' vo cational guidance class, a trip to the laboratory for the students to learn how the experiments have been carried out. Dr. Prytherch wond undoubtedly be plefsed to offer his cooperation and the field trip may be planned for a day when one of the scientists from the Navy or Aluminum Corporation are there conducting experiments, and they may give a sort ot synop sis of their work. THERE HAS BEEN quite a stir about the new history text book which has been adopted by the State for use in the schools. The stir seemed to hinge around politics, but. something which Nell Battle Lewis had to say about the new book expressed my senti ments. I think all history texi books about North Carolina that 1 have ever seen dwell too much on the War between the States and not enough about the War of 112 and the early discoveries. Pupils can easily get the opinion tVom the average histories that Columbus the coast. Upon his return to France, Verrazana wrote the French King what has been called 'the earliest description known to exist of the shores of the United States,' in which he told of the new land and its inhabitants. He said there were 'roses, violets, lilies, and many sorts of her'os, and sweet and odoriferous flowers.' "IN 1526 ABOUT 500 Spanish men and women, with slaves and horses, from Santa Domingo, sail ed along the coast of America look ing for a good place to establish a colony. Lucas de Ayllon was their eader. About the middle of July they sailed into a river which Ayl lon called the Jordan, but which was probably the Cape Fear. Here one of their ships wos wreck ed and a new one had to be built to replace it, the first ship built in this part of North America by whote men. "IT MAY WELL be, too, that in 1540 De Soto, another Span iard, in his search for gold, entered what is now Western North Caro lina as he inarched north from the Gulf of Mexico, before he turned west toward the Mississippi." if t Its Not What You Know But The Way That You Show It Four Master Farm Families Selected Four "Master Farm r.tmslies" in North Carolina have been selected by the Progressive Farmer and the N. C. State C'oileee Exterawn ser vice. Two others, on" in tro; mountain section and another m the southwestern section of the Stale, will be chosen shortly. I From literally hundreds of I nominees, the judges selected, af- j ter much study and deliberation, Jie families of' W. H. Blaiock, of Wilson County, P. E. Burch oi ojrry County, Bill Hooks of Co umbus County, and George Sock ell of Guilford County. To "be named as a "".luster Form 7amily" is one of the creates', honors that can come to uiral peo ple. The Progressive Farmer en lists the cooperation of the Exten sion Services in the state w h re the ot.gazlne i; circulated to select -hi-t'T Farm Families jierioiiicailv about every three years. Mr. and Mrs. P.Ialeck and their three children Doris, 10; Carl inn 1".- an,! Sara Ann. 0- own a 21!'-acro farm in the Black Creek community of Wilson County. Mr. and Mrs. Burch own a 2oO-acre farm in the Mountain Park sec tion of Surry, and they have two children: Phillip 10, and Nell, 13. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hooks have four children: Harris, 18; Eugene, 16; Mazelle, 14; and Billie 12. Their address is Whiteville, Route 1, and they own a 264-acre farm. The Sockwells have a 409-acre farm on Elon College, Route 1. Their two children are Marion, 13, and Ruth, 12. Outstanding on every farm is a divirsified agriculture, including livestock and poultry to supple ment cash crops. Stress is also placed on adequate food for the family. Each family has a year round garden. Crop yields on these four farms are well above the county averages and livestock and poultry are man aged to insure high production on an economical basis. Spenkir. group of director o vision, pa "P's Not What You Do. Wav That You Do It." "In drivins a motor ve Hocutt said, "It's not what you know but the way that you show il that counts." Elaborating on this statement. the safety director pointed out that around 00 per cent of the driver involved in repoited accidents on North Carolina streets and high ivavs last year had more than one year of driving experience. According to the division's re cords. 5,653 drivers invoiv-d in ac cidents in the state last year had i cen driving' for 11 years or long , r, another 3,625 had been driving from six to ten rears, and 2,3!6 had been driving from two to fiv years. "In other words, what really counts is not the amount of driv ing experience a person has had but. the lessons he has ''aou-d irom that, experience," Hocutt said "How to start and stop a ear, ap ply the brakes and give hand sig nals tire important, but what is much more important is actuall doing these things at the right time, and in the right, manner. "Driving experience may enabl a person to acquire a great deal of driving skill, but unless he also ha learned to obey the rules of the road and the motor vehicle law;-, and to employ courtesy, caution and commonsense alone with his skill, his experience has not made him a srood driver." "Experience is the best teacher," he added, "only when the pupil is willing to and capable of apply ing the lessons learned from that, experience." M;:'':!::.;'!::1 SMASH THAT But The rieia sxMifv mi discovered the West Indies but that Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists discovered America, or North Car olina at anyrate. The histories as r recall seem to jump from Colum bus' voyages to the arrival of Bar low and Amidasat Roanoke Island. Miss Lewis, whose "Incidentally" column is ene of the best Sunday features of the News and Observ er made a reference to what I am trying to get across in The Peo ple's Forum of News and Observer on Monday. I reprint excerpts from her letter herewith: (Clip it for historical reference). "IN MY CRITICISM of Jule B. Warren's textbook of North Caro lina history, which appeared in "cidentaily" on Sunday, March 9, I made one statement which I has ten to correct in order that no in justice be done Mr. Warren. "IN ENUMERATING some cf his important omissions, I said that he had left out the general Euro pean background of our history and had jumped right in with the English and Sir Walter Raleigh 'without even a nod to Columbus, and with no mention of th French .ni.l Stn:inish exnpditions to Oil l shores". I should have said: With only a nod to Columbus.' For I find that Mr. Warren does frive one paragraph to this back ground and in this single para graph mentions Spanish anil French expeditions to the New World, aUhouuh he makes no men tion of Frenchmen or Spaniards ever coming to the shores of North Carolina.
