home demonstration dept. ® - (Miss Minnie Lee Garrison, County Home Agent) O__ SHORT COURSE FOR WOMEN The following letter announces good news for our farm women. We hope a large number can take advan tage of it. We have had so many requests for a short course for farm women to be held at the State College that we are arranging to hold such a course during the summer school in 1925. The exact date has not been set. It will depend upon other courses that are held at the college as to just when we will have room to house our students. I hope that you will make every effort to have a goodly number of your club women come to this course. I should like to see as many as ten from each county if possible, though I know full well that probably half of this number is what we may expect. • The subjects to be given are ward robe planning, which includes some dressmaking, millinery, household fur nishings, and meal planning, which in cludes some preparation of food. The agricultural subjects will be the home dairy and poultry work. I should like to know just as soon as possible if any women are coming from your county and if so what subjects they would desire to take that I may have some idea as to how to arrange the faculty. No woman will be permitted to elect more than two subjects. The expenses will be moderate. I am expecting the women to come on the same basis that the club girls came last year. That will mean that they will pay for their transporta tion here and back, and $1.50 per day for board and keep. I am not certain that there will be any registration fee. 1 shall try to arrange that this not be charged against them. If there is one it will be very small. Sincerely yours, Jane S. McKimmon. Assistant Director of Extension, State Home Demonstration Agent.

And in my room in the Inn were Three Baths Towels and Four Towels.-- for my hands and my face, and that was more thanl had need to use. And from there I journeyed unto | Pittsburg. And there in the Inn I had One Towel of either kind. And the j price that I paid for the Room unto the Keeper of the Pittsburg Inn was j not scaled down in proportion to the ' number of the Towels. And as I passed out, I met the Chamber Maid, and I said unto her, O maiden who sweepest and art sup posed to dust, read for me this rid dle, I pray thee. Why is it that in Scranton where they burn Hard Coal a man may have Seven Towels in his Room, and in Pittsburg, -where Hard Coal was never dreamed of, we may have but two ? And she answered and said: It is an Inadvertance that thou hast only Two'Towels. Behold, now, thine hand maiden will bring unto thee as many as thine heart desireth. Nevertheless I will answer thy rid dle. In Scranton, where they burn Hard Coal, the people suppose that they may keep clean without wash ing, therefore they have Towels and plenty of them. Yea, they say in their pride, are not the rivers of Scranton better than the Allegheny and the Mononghahela ? May we not be clean without washing in any of them? But in Pittsburg we wash; therefore, are the Towels less Visibly Abundant, be cause that all Pittsburgers do always use them. And 1 considered the matter, and said, The damsel hath quick Wit and a ready tongue. I trust it may always stand her in as good stead. More over, there may be something in what she saith. For I have noticed that often the folk whom Nature doth well provide for suppose that they need nothing of Grace. Whereas, they who have been dealt with meagerly in the distribution of good things of this wirld, whether it be Beauty or Wealth or Education, do often by Heroic ef fort, more than make it up, so that they put to shame those that were more abundantly provided.—Watch man Examiner. TOMATO WOULD MAKE A GOOD MONEY CROP The tomato is one of the most widely used vegetables of this day and age as evidenced by the fact that carload shipments of the United States have increased from 16,710 cars in 1920 to 24,005 in 1923, an in crease of 7,295 cars in three years. Our neighboring State of South Car olina has increased its shipment from 13 cars in 1920 to 394 in 1924. North Carolina tomatoes should be planted so that the harvest and ship ing takes place from July 1 to July 20, as at about this time the northern markets are bare of this vegetable. There is a wide lapse between Missis sippi-Tcnnessee tomato crops and the New Jersey shipping period. After the New Jersey crop begins to move in large quantities, the North Carolina product would naturally bf^driven off the markets; but that portion of the crop which would remain in the fields when the northern States begin ship ping could be canned. In the 1923 season the Mississippi tomato growers lost money on their tomato crop, and this naturally will have a tendency to check production in that section. South Carolina has been increasing its tomato acreage in spite of the stiff competition that the Mississippi crop gives it. It has overcome this compe tition and the South Carolina toma toes are preferred over their compet itors due to the good grade and pack that they ship. Early tomatoes are probably better adapted to the sandhill sections of North Carolina than any other section of the State, due to the light sandy nature of the soil and the suscepti bility of tomatoes to be drowned out by such heavy rains as occur in the eastern part of the State. Tomato1 rust can be controlled by judicial spraying, particularly when the toma toes are grown on light, sandy soil which drain off quickly after rains. In developing a tomato industry for the State, it is highly desirable that a large acreage be planted in a locality so that the shipments can be made in carload quantities.—North Carolina Market News. ANENT STATE PRISON APPOINTMENTS Governor McLean seems to have taken hold of his duties as chief Ex ecutive of North Carolina with a characteristic business-like manner. The papers made much of his early rising in the mornings and getting at his tasks early. His first duties will include a number of appoint ments, chief among v'hich is the ap pointment of State prison officials. The following comment by the Ra leigh correspondent of the Greensbo ro Daily News, while not throwing much light as to what appointments will be made, is quite interesting: “The biggest issue now thrust up on him by the public is the appoint ment of a prison management, sup erintendent and board of directors.

I. BARNES, Clayton, N. C. Governor Morrison’s board is made up of faithful friends from superinten dent down. .“It is assumed that the prison man agement was faithful to Governor McLean, but the recent report of the institution hai-dly measures up to the qualifications that a business ex ecutive will require of it. The friends of Superintendent George Ross Pou think that his supplementary state ment wil®show to Governor McLean that the poor financial showing is not ascribable to sorry farming and working^ but to the ever increasing of the partially self-supporting class of prisoners, plus exceedingly bad farming years. Il^Mr. McLean con cludes that the Providence which he so much respects has been on the side of floods, boll weevil, malaria, and other crop- and health-destroy ing agencies, the executive will not hold the disastrous record of the pris on against the superintendent. “There is nothing akin to public feeling against the prison officials, nor does the failure of the institu tion to show up well in a vast ma chine marked for the size of its de ficits. There is hardly any doubt that Mr. Pou stood highest amongst the old administrations. But Mr. Mc Lean is going to cut dead timber and reduce overhead. It has been said that the prison gets both in its con vict personnel and in it official line up. Indeed, for long it has been the great piece of pie of the state. The contribution of Charles H. Anderson, which was partially reproduced in this morning’s Daily News, shows how luscious an office it is. “Substantially all the administra tions have new prison managements from warden up to prison board. The governor names his “friends on the [board and sends in for their consid eration an acceptable man personal ly. The physician to the prison gen erally gets there by virtue of his good guess in the primary. Often two of them, young fefjsnrs, hunt.

If Mr: Pirn in his sup>pigmen tary statement can. show that hit failure resulted from no lack of skill, he will not go.”' If it concerns Johnston, it’s, in The Herald.
