Junior Play A Success
"The Arrival of Kitty" presented
by the Junior class of Marshall and
directed by Miss Nita Gahagan, was
an outstanding success due to the
manv humorous and effective quali
ties and splendid acting disp layed by
the various characters Friday night,
Everyone enjoyed the appearance
of Ray Frisby disguised as Kitty, in
a red evening gown, with matching
accessories. Even though Rav was
none too well acquainted with wiles
and ways of the feminine world, his
acting was excellent.
Miss June Bulaine Ramsey made
an ideal Juliette as she endeavored
not to show her affection for Bobby
Baxter, the rea &stic iRjay Frisby. One
of the most enjoyable features of the
play was the coming marriage of the
old maid, in the person of Hope Hol
combe, to Mr. Charles Redmon as
Mr. Benjamin Moore. At the1 end of
the play Charles reaches the con
clusion that any woman would make
him a suitable wife.

Glenn O. Randall, floriculturist at N.
C. State College.
Among the acid-loving evergreens
are; Andromeda, Galax, Leucothoe,
Mountain Laurel, Oconee Bells, Rho
dodendron, and Sand-myrte.
Deciduous shrubs with like soil
preference include: Azeleas, Blue
berry, Chokeberry, Dogwood, Fringe-
tree," Heather, Huckleberry, Rhodora,
Shadblow, Silverbell, Staggerbush,
Summersweet, Trailing Arbutus,
Withe Rod, and Yellow root.
Some of the hardy perennials be
long in the acid class, such as:
Bleedingheart, Bluets, Coreopsis Rose,
LaBiesL Lily-of-the-Valley Mountain
Phlox, Painted Trillium, Pink Turtle-
head, and Wild-Iindigo.
The most practical way of te-ting
soil for its acidity or alkalinity is
with a chemical indicator, Randall
says. The indicator is a dye which
changes color when brought into con
tact with substances with different
degrees of acidity or alkalinity.
There are a number of soil-testing
outfits on the market at prices rang
ing from $1 to $5 or more, which may
be purchased from local seedsmen,
that are reliable and easy to use, he
says.
If the soil in which acid-loving
plants are to be grown is found to
have too low an acid reaction, Ran
dall points out, it should either be
treated or replaced with soil of the
proper acidity.

: questions & ;
; answers;
(Prepared by State College)
Question: How can seed oats be
treated to prevent smut?
Answer: A fifty percent formalde
hyde solution sprayed over the seed
oats will effectually prevent smut.
The spray may be applied with a
small hand machine such as is used
around the house to kill flies. The
oats are shoveled from pile to pile
and each shovelful is sprayed as turn
ed. The seed are then left in the
pile or put in bags and left for sev
eral hours or overnight before plant
ing. Seed treated with this solution
are not harmful for feeding purposes
if they are stirred several times so
that all the formaldehyde evaporates.

Question: Aside from the brooder
house what equipment is necessary
for handling chicks in a brooder?
Answer: At the trt d,acfh 100
chicks should have access to a five
foot feed hopper and two one-half
gallon waterers. Two mash hoppers
four inches high, six inches wide, and
five feet long should be provided for
each 100 chicks after the third week.
Be sure to allow plenty of floor space
as overcrowding will increase any in
herent disease and will also cause
colds which may develop into serious
trouble. At least one half foot of
floor space should be allowed for
each chick.
po-
Question: When should Irish
tatoes be treated for planting?
Answer: Seed potatoes should be
treated before cutting into seed
pieces. Dissolve four ounces of cor
rosive sublimate in two quarts of
boiling water and add it to 30 gal
lons of slightty warmed water. All
mixing should be done in a wooden
or earthen, vessel. Wash the pota
toes and then set in solution. -The
first batch should be soaked one hour
with fifteen minutes added for each
batch . after the first Aften ten
bushels have been treated throw the
solution away and make up a fresh
building, and hay crops they should
have.
Although the supply of timothy,
forage sorghums, millet, Sudan grass,
and alsike and red clover is lower
than usual, Dean Schaub points out,
there is a sufficiency of lespedeza and
other legume ami grass seed.
Importations of seed from foreign
countries is relieving the slight short
age in millet, Sudan grass, and a va
riety of timothy suitable to northern
states, the dean says, and there will
be enough of these for the 1935 sow
ing, he is informed. '
The rise in seed prices should not
materially affect those farmers who
will have to buy seed, he observes, if
they prepare their seed beds carefully
and distribute the seed evenly so
there will be no waste.
The need for more and better pas
tures and for soil-building crops, par
ticularly on land retired from the cul
tivation of other commodities, is such
that the agricultural extension ser
vice is advocating all farmer to plant
legumes and grasses wherever possible.
treatment. Allow the potatoes to
dry before cutting into seed pieces
for planting.
Question: What causes my hens
to lay thin or soft shelled eggs?
Answer: This is caused by a lack
of mineral matter in the feed or poor
digestion of these minerals if they
are in the ration, crushed oyster
shell should be kepi before the hens
at all times. It might be well to put
one percent 4 powdered calcium
pagns, and public recreation facili
ties. In the fieldof education varied
researches and special surveys have
been carried forward, while beneficial
work has been done in art, music, and
dramatics, as well as in libraries and
museums.
To Supervise this widespread pro
gram, Mrs. O'Berry drew attention to
the well trained and experienced staff
qualified in the wide field of ERA
works activity. Specialized engineers
supervise the various forms of con
struction projects, engineers trained
in all forms of construction, in drain
age, and sanitation. Supplementing
the work of the engineers is a group
of trained foremen and supervisors,
qualified for specific types of proj
ects. Mrs. O'Berry indicated that an im
portant function of the field engi
neers, men trained under CWA and
ERA, as well as in varied lines of
private enterpprises, is to keep in
close touch with local government
officials and other interested citizens
with a view to cooperating in creat
ing needed projects and supervision
of the work.
Madison County projects, which
have not only provided needed em-
ploymerij, for unemployed persons, but
have resulted in necessary imurove-
ments of permanent community value
include the foiowing which are eith
er completed or in process of com
pletion: community houses at Hot
Springs and White Rock ; construction
and repair of schools; highway im
provements; and waterworks con
struction at Marshall and Hot
Springs.
