THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 4,1938
40,000 Y.T.H.F.
Raleigh, March.—Almost 40,-
000 young Tar Heels have received
training for future vocations, sub
sistence for themselves, allotments
for their dependents or relatives,
mental . and physical advantages
and opportunities, and many other
benefits from enlisting in Civilian
Conservation Corps camps in
North Carolina during the last
five years, according to T. L. Grier,
State Superintendent of CCC Se
lection.
Grier, who has been associated
with the selection division since
the beginning of the program in
April, 1933, thinks that the value
of the CCC cannot be measured
in terms of dollars and cents, but
is emphatically confident that
thousands of North Carolina
youths have been given a new
lease on life through their connec
tion with the camps scattered
throughout the state.
“I could tell you of many in
stances where young men, fre
quently downhearted and dispir
ited because of their inability to
obtain work,” Grier said recently,
“have come to us and enrolled in
the CCC and recovered their self
respect, in addition to earning
their livelihood and living in an
atmosphere that tended to improve
their mental, moral, physical and
spiritual attiudes. That is why I
take so much interest in my work.
It is a real pleasure and privilege
to have a part in rehabilitating
our young men, and in seeing them
fit themselves for the battles of
life.”
“I am very happy over the fact
that President Roosevelt recently
has intimated that the CCC will
become a permanent part of the
national government,” Grier con
tinued. “I can’t conceive of any
thing that has been of more real
benefit to our young than that pro
gram. During the depression
years, thousands of them were
roaming the roads and highways
of our country, desperate because
their inability to obtain work.
Now, all that is changed for the
young man who really is honest
and wants to earn his own liveli
hood and prepare himself for bet
ter things.”
The United States Department
of Labor, the North Carolina State
Board of Charities and Public
Welfare and the 100 local depart
ments of Public Welfare, which
act as selecting agencies, are in
terested primarily in the proper
selection and certification of quali
fied applicants for enrollment in
the CCC, Grier said. The United
States Department of Labor is re
sponsible for many of the CCC
functions, with the approval of the
Director of that agency.
The State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare has been des
ignated by the United States De
partment of Labor as the state se
lecting agency, and its Commis
sioner, Mrs. W. T. Bost, as the
State Director of Selection. Grier
directs the selection process and
sees that the selection procedure
is uniform throughout the state.
The Supervisor of CCC Selection
transmits instructions from the
Depa. tment of Labor to local se
lecting agencies, receiving state
requisitions after they have been
cleared by the Department of La
bor and the War Department, ap
portions state requisitions among
the several counties, receives re
ports from the local selecting
agencies, t: ansmits reports to the
United States Department of La
bor, maintains adequate records of
active and discharged enrollees,
makes recommendations on re
quests for changes of allotments,
and co-operates with the federal,
state and local agencies in per
forming his duties as Supervisor of
Selection.
“I don’t know of any other work
in which I would be more interest
ed,” Grier said. “It has been my
privilege to talk to many young
men who have made good in our
camps, and I am hopeful that the
CCC program will benefit a gTeat
deal more.”

years ago / started using tobacco fertilizer containing 8% POTASH
and top-dressing with NV SULPHATL OF POTASH at the first
working, says FRAISK GALLOWAY. “Since then I have not sold any
tobacco under $400.00 per acre nor fallen below a yield of 1200 pounds.
Potash doesn t grow tobacco wild but gives it better body and better quality
which means increased weight. The extra potash also reduces disease.”
THE most profitable development in bright
tobacco production in recent years has been
the tremendous increase in the use of potash.
Thousands of farmers have found that it pays
to give their tobacco many times more potash
than it received in the past. That’s why such
mixtures as 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER
have become so popular.
The Tobacco Research Committee now recom
mends fertilizer containing at least 6 % POTASH
to be used at the rate of 800 to 1,200 pounds per
acre plus a side-dressing of potash equal to 120
to 240 pounds of SULPHATE of POTASH per
acre, the side-dressing to be applied within 20
days after transplanting.

Your fertilizer man knows that potash is the
quality-producing element in tobacco fertilizer
—that tobacco is a potash-loving crop, remov
ing from the soil more potash than both nitro
gen and phosphoric acid combined. He can
supply you with 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER
for use at planting and NV SULPHATE of
POTASH for top-dressing. Use More Potash
#This Year! IT PAYS!
When you buy potash in
mixed fertilizers or straight
potash it pays to make sure
you get genuine HM POTASH
R. F. C. RESUMES LENDING
Washington, D. C.—Jesse Jones,
Chairman of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, announces
that this Government agency is
prepared to make loans to industry
to the extent of $1,500,000’000. At
the same time, it is believed that
applications will be made for only
a small part of this fund, since
banks are overloaded with surplus
cash and few industries except
railroads are in need of Federal
support.
