Retarded Children's Unit
Hears Psychologist Nale
Out of every 100 children start
ing to school, 68 will be average.
18 fast learners, and 16 slow
learners. Dr. Stanley Nale, clinical
psychologist, told the Macon
County unit of the N. C. Associa
tion for Retarded Children at its
monthly meeting at Franklin High
School October 12.
Dr. Nale. who is with the State
Department of Public Welfare,
spoke to the group on understand
ing and accepting the fact that
:hlldren do not learn at the same
-ate, but according to their mental
development.
Of the bottom 16 in the group
)f 100. about 3 per cent will' be
:apable of getting little, if any
thing, from the public school pro
gram. he said.
He stressed the need for psycho
ogical analysis of children enter*
ng the first grade. Many who
:nter school, he explained, have
i calendar age of six years, but
have not reached that age mental
y.
If parents and teachers under
stand these children who have a
ilow rate of mental growth, ana
make provision and proper guid
ance for them, most of them can
achieve. If this understanding Is
lacking and there Is undue pres
sure from parents and teachers,
much harm can be done to the
child, he continued.
Mrs. Furman Angel, chairman
of the membership drive for the
association, urged that everyone
help these children by becoming
a member of the association. The
fee is $2. Part of this money is
used In the county, and the rest
is used to sponsor scholarships for
training teachers for this field of
work, Mrs. Angel said.
She has appointed the following
representatives to help with the
membership drive: Mrs. Ralph
Solesbee, Nantahala; Mrs. Claude

One-Dish Meals
Can Save Time
Quick, one-dish meals save the I

No doubt you realize that the
paper Industry has spent many
years In the developing of pho
tographic paper which is dur
able and completely free of Im
purities. The finest papers were
originally made from rags, but
impurities in the fibers which
caused them to age yellow and
brittle, led to research in the
wood pulp field. The result has
been papers of unusual stability
and permanence.
Paper processing sees wood
chips chemically treated and
reduced to fibers. Then follows
mixing with water, churning
and cutting. This provides a
rough form of paper which
must be sized and carefully
screened After drying, applica
tion of gelatin and barium sul
phate fills the pores, adds glass
and provides a foundation for ,
the emulsion.

ON ROAD WORK
IN REGION
Commission Says
$14,532,160
Spent In 2 Years
A total of $14,5i^,iu0 has been
spent for highway improvements
over the past two years in the 10
county area of western North
Carolina comprising the Four
teenth Highway Division, accord
ing to an announcement received
here from the Highway Depart
ment.
The Fourteenth Division is com
posed of the counties of Cherokee.
Clay. Graham, Haywood. Hender
son. Jackson, Macon, Polk, Swain
and Transylvania.
A breakdown of the total ex
penditure shows $3,749,600 spent
on major improvements to the
primary highway system (US and
NC numbered routes). Secondary
road construction, let to conract
or completed, totals $2,350,000
while betterments to the road net
work in the mountainous four
teenth amounted to $1,440,800.
Construction of access and
public service roads, including
roads, to schools, public buildings,
and industries amounted to $92,
060, while construction on the
Interstate Highway System came
to $1,471,000. Costs to maintain
the division's roads accounted for
$5,428,700.
The report included only ex
penditure to date, it was explain
ed. and did not take into account
several million dollars in new
highway projects approved by the
Highway Commission and now
under design and location prior to
future contract letting. Also not
included are funds for secondary
roadwork during the 1959-1960
fiscal year.
Total secondary road funds for
the current fiscal year amount
lo $3,752,500. with $1,884,500 of
that amount slated for new con
struction projects in accordance
with the secondary road plans of

VA Says New
Pension Law
Brings Queries
The Veteran* Administration re
ported it Is receiving many In
quiries from veterans and veter
ans' widows and children about
terms of the new pension law.
The law actually goes Into effect
on July 1, I960.
Veterans and their dependents
who are receiving pensions at the
present time received folders with
their September checks giving an
explanation of the law. It con
cerns VA pensions, but not com
pensation on payments ? that Is.
not payments for service -connect
ed disabilities.
VA has 1.400,000 veterans, vet
erans' widows, and orphans on Its
pension rolls at the present time
and estimates that 70 per cent of
this number will have a right to
some increase in their pension
rate under terms of the new law.
The agency estimates that an ad
ditional 277.000 veterans, widows
and orphans will qualify for pen
sions under the new law. due to
the increase in the income limita
tions allowed to $1,800 for single
veterans or widows without de
pendents, and $3,000 for veterans
or widows with dependents.
VA said it is going to send fur
ther information and a form to
be filled in to all veterans, widows
and orphans who are now on the
pension rolls or who will come on
before next July 1. They will re
ceive these forms automatically
and there will be no need to write
VA in advance about them. The
form is for the purpose of makinp
a choice whether to remain under
the terms of the present system or
80 under the new pension plan.
VA said the basic eligibility re
quirements for veterans to qualify
for pension have not been changed j
by the law. The veteran must have
90 days of wartime service, a dis
charge other than dishonorable,
and be totally and permanently
disabled for reasons not related
to his service. The amount of
pension under the new .law will
be based on his financial need.

It has lone been known that J
certain soils produce certain crops |
better than other soils. Good un- 1
derstanding of the type of soil
in a field enables a farmer to bet
ter decide what crop to grow in
that particular field. Some of the
thing* that must be considered
are ' 1 > Is the soil properly drain
ed? 12 1 Is the soil, sand, silt, or
clay base? 131 is the slope suitable
for cultivation?
Soil is 3 natural body on the
upper crust of the earth, which
has formed from weathered rock.
It Is divided Into top-toll and sub
soil. The top soil contains moat
of the organic matter found In
the soil. Sub-soil Is found below
the top-soli and has the greatest
amount of clay accumulation.
Texture of the soil Is Important
in that a farmer must know how
wet a soil can be worked. Pine
textured soils, such as clay, when
wet feel sticky when rubbed be
tween the fingers. If these soils
are worked too wet, they will
puddle, and if worked too dry.
they will be cloddy. The medium
texture soils feel loamy or rough.
These soils are much easier U>
manage and may be worked wetter
than fine textured clay soils.
Coarse textured soils are very easy
to work and absorb water very
readily; however, these soils have
a very high leaching rate and re
quire the use of more commercial
fertilizer than do the fine and
medium textured soils.
Many people have concerned
themselves with the pros and cons
of sub-soiling. One of the most
common questions is, "Will sub
soiling pay? The answer, of
course, depends on the texture of
the soil and the permeability of
the soil. Coarse texture of the
soil and the permeability of the
soil. Coarse textured and medium
textured soils do not have hard
pan or clay pan problems to the
extent that clay soils have. In
the soil, there are soil niicrobes,
nutrients, air, and water. If air
and water move through the soil
freely and root penetration is
good, it is very doubtful if sub
soiling would be worthwhile, but if
a soil is sticky, tends to run to
gether, and root penetration is
poor then subsoiling is a good
land practice to consider.
Slope is another' item to con
sider in land use. A land use scale
has been made with eight classes.
Class I land may be used for any
type of cultivation. It is almost
level with no more than 2 per
cent slope. Such land is suited
for continuous cultivation and a
farmer may expect high yields
with good management practices.
Class II land has a slope of
2 to 6 per cent and has a slight
erosion problem. Care must be
taken in using this land to use
contour farming, strip cropping
and a simple rotation, such as
row crops one year and hay the
next.
Class III land has a slope of
from 6-10 per cent. This slope is
usually accompanied by an erosior.

problem and management of this
type of land should Include rota
tion, strip farming, and contour
tillage.
Class IV land has severe limita
tions and most farmers use their
class IV land for hay or pasture.
The slope Is usually 10 to IS per
cent and a shallow stony soil Is
usually found on this type of land.
Class V land Is not suitable for
cropland because It Is subjected
to frequent flooding and cannot
be drained for crops. This type of
land Is not subject to erosion and
may be used for certain pasture
crops.
Class VI land includes steep
shallow or severely eroded soils
that are not suitable for cultva
tlon. This class land may be used
for- trees, pasture, or hay with
moderate conservation treatment.
Class VII land is steep, very
severely eroded land. It may be
used for limited grazing, but is
much better suited for forests.
Class VIII land Is suited neither
for trees or pasture. It Is, how
ever, suited for wildlife. Its chief
use is for recreation and wildlife
support.
A farmer interested in produc
ing the most from his land needs
to know the capacities of his
soil in order to get the most re
turns from his investment and
labor.
Soybeans . are not extensively
grown throughout North Carolina;
but they are a very important
crop in the northeastern corner
of the state.
