At least, thl? is the Impres sion one gets from looking at the number of agricultural and home economics publications distributed annually by North Carolina State. About two million publica tions, prepared by the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences, were moved in 1964, accord ing to an estimate from Pub lications Editor Maynard Deek ens. Both the college's on campus offices and Its Exten son Service offices In the 100 counties had a part In the dis tribution. Deekens said the publications dealt with about 350 farm and nome subjects, and were wrlt ten to meet many levels of In terest. The majority of them were designed to tell a person how to do something?worm a calf, plan a meal, prune a shrub and so forth. "Best sellers," according to Deekens, are publications on such subjects as homemaklng.l gardening, and Insect and dis ease control. Economic sub jects seem to be a favorite topic for organized groups. As one example of a "best seller," Deekens mentioned the publication "Carolina Lawns." _ Some 25,000 copies wereprint ed last year. The supply is al ready exhausted and another 25,000 copies arebelngprlnted. Most of the college's publi cations are written for the gen eral public. Some, however, are of a technical or semi-techni cal nature for professional peo- I pie. Extension specialists and research workers provide the information. Occasionally, there is a charge for large, technical pub lications^ Most are provided to the public free undeF the land grant college concept of mak ing the broadest possible dis tribution of research know ledge. Deekens and his staff say they can pretty well Judge what people are concerned about by the dertiand for publications. In recent months, farmers have shown an unusual Interest in publications on pork produotton. Deekens attributes this interest to the cut in tobacco allotments and the desire of farmers to find alternate sources of in come. Over-all demand for publica tions is increasing. Requests from rural non-farm and urban people are becoming parti cularly heavy. ? Deekens says an effort is made to answer each request the college receives for Infor mation. If there is not a pub lication on the subject, the re quest 1* forwarded to some au thority on the campus who can provide a personal answer. It is often a problem to de termine Just what an Informa tion seeker wants. People write and ask for "Everything you have on agriculture" or "Everything you have on In sects." Such requests are re turned along with a catalogue listing the publications avail able. Even this approach is not al ways satisfactory. One man, for example, promptly asked for over 200 publications when he was given a catalogue. He was told 12 free publications is the limit for one person.

Thomas Jeff erson liked to say that the Dec laration of Independence owed Its Sw.lft passage by the Con tinental Congress to horseflies. Fortunately, the livery sta bles of colonial Philadelphia no longer stand near indepen dence Hall, but In most other respects the historic birthplace of the United States will soon look as it did that hot, first Fourth of July in 1776, the National Geographic Society says. The National Park Service, | after a decade of research through four million document*, letters, and illustrations, is re storing Independence Hall as well as some 25 historic build ings In as area encompassing more than six city blocks.
