Opportunity In Growing Small Fruit Growing of small fruits of fers North Carolina farm fam ilies a "golden opportunity" to improve their diets and obtain extra income from their land, says H. R. Niswonger, in charge of horticulture extension at State college. Mr. Niswonger says only a small proportion of farm fam ilies are now growing such crops as strawberries, dewberries, blueberries, and raspberries. All of these except raspberries, which do best in the mountains, can be grown in almost every sec tion of the state. Muscadine grapes, best adapted to .non mountainous areas, and bunch grapes, which can be grown in all sections, also offer good pos sibilities. ? Small fruits will enable fam ilies to enjoy jams, jellies, and juices for everyday use and will aid greatly in balancing the diet, the horticulturist asserts. If labor is available, suitably located families may sell their fruits through a roadside mark et and thus- develop a qew source of farm Income, Mr. Nis wonger points out. Or the fruits, along with vegetables, flowers, poultry and dairy products, may be sold through curb markets which ase located in many Opabi ftrai Equipment Agwcyj Creamery Has MoVdd Erwln Patton has opened an agency here for Case tractors and farm utensils and Surge milkers.

Families, grow ing all of the fruits, including grapes, will have produce to market in succession from early summer to early autumn. Another possibility is offered by freezer locker plants located all over North Carolina, as serts Mr. Niswonger. These plants enable farm families to freeze their surplus production for use during periods when fresh fruit is not available. Managers of locker plants are anxious to buy good locally grown strawberries, dewberries, and raspberries in order to freeze them for their city pa trons. Many city housewives, however, like to do their own preparing or use the berries for fresh consumption. Square DANCE Saturday Night Starting At 8 p. m. Slagle Memorial ?

The Slate of North Carolina recently needed a quantity of Concrete 'Block* for the construc tion of a radio station plant near Asheville. The State, of course, requires blocks of high Quality, of unquestioned Strength, and reason ably Priced. To get such blocks, did the State have to go to Charlotte? or to St. Louis? or to Chicago? No! The State came to Our Plant here in Frank lin, bought blocks in the quantity needed, and hauled them to Asheville. One reason, of course, that the Stats came to Franklin to buy these blocks from our plant is that the State already had tried our blocks, in a structure it had built earlier iii Sylva. THE REAL REASON But the Real Reason the State of North Carolina ? and thousands of other satisfied cus- i tomers ? come to Franklin for their Concrete Blocks was revealed in a recent scientific test. About three weeks ago a state inspector came to our plant. He picked three Concrete Blocks, at random, from the end of the pile from which sale was being made. He placed a state seal and a number on each block, and instructor! us to send tho.se three blocks to a laboratory for testing, and directed u.s to ha.ve the laboratory report direct to state authorities, as well as to us. THE RESULT State law requires concrete masonry units that will withstand 700 pounds of pressure per square inch. The size blocks the inspector picked would have to withstand about 85,000 pounds each, under that specification. Wlhat was the result? ' . . Block No. 399 supported 145,000 lbs. 60,000 pounds above N. C. requirements. Block No. 400 supported 115,000 lbs. 30,000 pounds above N. C. requirements. Block No. 28 supported 152,000 lbs. 67/100 pounds above .N. C. requirements Our Blocks, by ACTUAL TElST, proved from about 50 to nearly 100 per cent better than ? T the requirements fixed by the state. "ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY" And at the bottom qf the laboratory re port was this notation: "These Blocks are entirely satisfactory, under the American Society for Testing Materials, federal specifications, aind N. C. State requirements for strength." THIS LABORATORY REPORT IS ON FILE IN OUR OFFICE Where anyone interested may see it. W. A. HAYS BLOCK PLANT Franklin, N. C
