Farm And Home Week
Attracts Big Crowd '
With the return of approximately
l.SUU delegates to their homes, books
were closed last Saturday on the
35th chapter of Farm Home Week,
one of the most successful ever
held.
Most of the delegates remained at
btate college, scene of the annual
event, the entire week, while oth
ers' attended only a part of the pro
gram. Separate and joint sessions
of the men and women were ar
ranged, as well as classroom work,
and recreation.
George Sockwell, prominent Guil
ford county farmer, will head the
men's division of Farm and Home
Week in 1939. President of the
women's division for next year is
Mrs. W. E. Neal, Mecklenburg
county farm . woman. Both were
elected unanimously.
Entertainment was mixed with
education so as to produce a well
balanced program. Group singing,
contests, and other forms of rec
reation were features of the eve
ning sessions.
Joint sessions and classroom work
occupied the delegates during the
morning, and demonstrations, ex
hibits, and tours were featured
during the afternoon.
Among the resolutions adopted
by the delegates were those . call
ing for sufficient State appropria
tions to match federal funds for
agricultural research, federal aid
to the public schools, the early
establishment of a 12th grade in
the public schools of the state, .a
better farm marketing program for
North Carolina, and- the transfer
of the state prison farm near Mer
edith college to State' college- for
the "development of real livestock
work." '
Governor and Mrs.. Qyde Hoey
addressed the men and women in
the State college stadium Thursday
night. These two talks were . the
only ones scheduled for the evening
program.
State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
Q. When is the best time to seed
alfalfa in North Carolina?
A. Fall seeding is more satis
factory than spring seeding and
these dates are recommended 'by
the agronomy department: Coastal
plain and lower piedmont, Septem
ber 1 to 30; upper piedmont, Aug
ust 15 to September 15; lower
mountain elevations, August 1 to
31, and in the higher mountain
elevations seed in the spring from
April 1 to 30, depending on the
season. 1
Q. Where can I get a good boar
to build up my head of swine?
A. If your county agent cannot
tell you, write to H. W. Taylor,
swine extension specialist at State
college. A number of breeding ani
mals hav.e been sold at the 15 co
operative swine association shipping
points and Mr. Taylor says some
good animals have been purchased
in this way. However,' Mr. Taylor
can give you the names of breeders
of the different kinds of hogs. Let
him know the breed you desire. It
is interesting to note that 595 pure
bred . boars were purchased by
North Carolia farmers last year.
Q. How can I increase the size
of eggs laid by my pullets?
A. Roy Dearstyne says egg size
is inherited and little can be done
to build this up by feeding a par
ticular ration or handling the birds
in any particular way. Egg size
must be bred into the flock, so
head your breeding bvrds with pedi
greed males which have large egg
size back of them. The time is
coming in North Carolina when
poultry 'breeding will receive the
same attention as the breeding of
the animals on the farm.

Sea-Tiny, pictured above, has become a mecca of interest with the Mammoth Marine Hippodrome. Sea-Tiny is one of life's tragedies for
where ever she is placed, there she must stay until someone goes for her. She must always, when not in the water, have someone within call
and consequently she can never know the meaning of an individual life. Sea-Tiny is one of the feature attractions with the Mammoth Marine
Hippodrome which will exhibit in Franklin for one day only, Wednesday, August 17. The exhibition will be located near the courthouse and
will be open to the public from noon until 11 p. m. Admissions ten cents.
Macon County
Receive Dental Treatment
Hundreds of underprivileged school
children in this county -will have
dental treatment provided for them
without cost during the next few
weeks.
Treatment will be administered
at clinics to be conducted in several
schools of the county by Dr. Rob
ert Mastin and Dr. C. W.' Stevens,
of the division ot oral hygiene of
the North Carolina board of health.
Insofar &4 time permits, all school
children who so wish will be ex
amined. Free treatment will be
given those whose parents, in the
judgment of the school authorities,
are unable to bear the expense.
Children deemed able to pay will
be referred to their family dentist.
Like others being conducted
throughout the state, this clinic has
the hearty endorsement of the local
board of health, school authorities,
and dentists, who' point out that the
program supplements but. does not
compete with the work of the
local members of the profession.
Dr. Mastin and Dr.' Stevens have
done postgraduate work at the
Forsythe Infirmary for Children in
Boston, the largest of its kind in
the country, and at the School of
Public Health Dentistry at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, the first
of its kind in the world.
More than two-thirds of the
counties of the state have availed
themselves of this . program, which
was inaugurated in 1918 and which
now has the full-time, services of
22 white and five colored dentists.
Last year approximately 69,000
underprivileged children in schools
of this state were the recipients of
free dental treatment administered
in these clinics, and the number
probably will be greater during the
coming school year.
In addition to the 69,000 treated,
an even greater number, judged
able to pay for such service, were
referred to their family dentist for
treatment.
The state-wide program is under
the direction of Dr. Ernest A.
Branch, of Raleigh, who is director
of the oral division of state board
of health, which is a pioneer in this
field.
At least 85 per cent of the million
children in the public schools need
dental care, that a dentist's office
is unknown to 55 per cent of these
children.
Degenerative diseases, such as
those of the heart, lungs, and kid
neys, are on the increase in North
Carolina, and 75 per cent of these
diseases .enter the body through the
mouth or nose. The mouth is a
perfect incubator for germs. Hence
the importance of a clean, healthy
mouth. '
One-third of the children in our
schools are repeaters, and surveys
have shown that this fact is due
THE FRANKLIN PRES3 AND. THE HIGHLAND MACdNlAN
Sea - Tiny Living Mermaid with Marine
Children To
largely to poor health, in many in-
stances bad teeth. It has been
pointed out that in one county,
dental care through these state
clinics had reduced the number of
repeaters approximately 50 per cent
in one year.
The program has a two-fold pur
pose. It is educational and correc
tive. In addition to 69,000 children
treated last year, our doctors gave
lectures on the care of the mouth
before audiences totaling half a
million. Many of these lecturers
were illustrated by lantern slides,
charts, and pictures showing mouths
before and after treatment.
The best preventive dentistry, is
before the child is born when the
mother should take care to eat cer
tain foods. After that the teeth
should be watched closely until the
child reaches 12, and after that it is
mostly a question of repair work.

4-H Club Members
Enjoy Camping Trip
On Monday, July 27, at 10 o'clock
30 of us 4-H Club boys and girls,
with Mrs. O'Neil, Mr. Mendenhall
and Mr. Williams, left the agricul
tural building for our camping trip
to Swannanoa. Four cars carried
us and our provisions there.
We had good luck until we got
within about 25 miles of Swan
nanoa. We passed Mr. Williams,
not knowing that he was going to
have car trouble. The bearings
burned Out in the left . wheel of
his truck. He got it fixed, and we
all arrived at camp.
The first thing we did was to
unpack, then went in swimming, ate
our .suppers washed the dishes,
played games, and by that time all
were ready for 'their bunks and a
Eood night's sleep.
The next morning at 6:45, we
went jin swimming before break
fast, then Mr. Nutting came to
camp and made us a very interest
ing talk on forestry. That night
we saw a show, "Forest Fires,"
and after the show played games
and sang songs.
The following day Mr. Nutting
showed us the three different kinds
of pine trees we have. During the
afternoon we went to the Recrea
tion Park at Asheville and we had
a wonderful time riding the merry-go-round,
ferris wheels and electric
cars. We saw animals from differ
ent countries.
The next day we were taken to
the Swannanoa Test Farm, where
we saw many interesting things
pertaining to farm life. We saw
eheir fine cows, and how they kept
their fine cows, and how they kept
clean milk. We saw corn fields
where they had used different fer
tilizers, and the results. We saw
75 different grape vines growing.
We came tack to camp, went in
0
swimming .and that night we built
a campfire, roasted marshmellows
and played all kinds of stunts.
The last morning we got up at
our usual time, went in swimming
after which we had our breakfast,
then began packing to come home.
We had good luck on our way
back, anl arrived at the agricul
tural building about 4 o'clock.
We hope that all the 4-H Club
boys and girls will go to camp
next year, for you surely will have
a good time. .
The 4-H Club boys and girls
want to thank Mrs. , O'Neil, Mr.
Mendenhall and Mr. Williams, for
the care and good time they gave
us during our camping trip.
