And chances are it will be if you don't plan carefully before you begun work. It costs nothing to plan and re jplan, and only by careful planning will you be able to have just the type 4f home you want, according to Pauline E. Gorden, State College .Extension specialist in housing and hooee furnishing. Remodeling or building is too ex pensive not to warrant detailed plan ning of what your family wants. And according to Miss Gordon, fam ily planning is important since the kind of home in which you live helps to develop the personality of all persons living within it. Ling-time, planning will save you both money and inconvenience. Plan work on your home that can be done over a period of years and then do aome work each year as you have Um money to pay for it, suggests Miss Gordon. All of your family will enjoy contributing some labor to cut costs further. If you'rs planning more storage pace, Miss Gordon advises you to consider wall to wall storage. List Hie articles to be stored in the pace allotted, then plan shelf and .drawer areas td accommodate them It's easier to keep house when there's m place to put all the things needed toj the family. According to Miss Gordon, the most convenient height to reach is from the tip of the fingers to the top of the shoulders. Store articles used most often in this area. Those used less frequently can be placed lower or higher. I Bafe Raleigh "What's your speed?" Major W. B. Lentz, the State Highway Patrol's executive in charge of transportation and communica tions, addressed" the question this week to Tar Heel drivers as he dis cussed speed control. "What is a safe speed for one may bo suicidal for another," the major continued. "We're all individuals and we don't leave our individuality behind us when we step behind the wheel." Major Lentz pointed out that there is a wide difference between people n such things as judgment, reaction time, temperament and physical make-up. AH of these things, and many more, determine the speed at which i motorist can drive safely, he said. "The people with low reaction, faulty vision or jumpy nerves cer tainly should drive at a slower pace han that of the individual who ha bttua'lly makes sound split-second lecisions and is blessed with 2020 'ision and iron nerves in the bar gain, Major Lentz said. ,He made the further point that what may be a safe speed for a per son today may be too fast for him tomorrow. "If you're tired, worried or under jar physically, you can't control your car or cope with traffic as ef ficiently as you can when you are relaxed and in good health, Major Lentz said. So make it a rule to let today's state of mind and body dic tate today's speed." "And don't forget," he added, "that outside conditions, such a s weather, road, traffic, and the me- Don't fight over those trees, men! There's - koine for everyone in the lumber m. .. as long as folks are satisfied with some rather than all, says Jim Anderson, state Col lege ' extension xoresiry specialist. Anderson says that there's i squabble going' on between sawmil lers and pulpwood people.. And the 'bnly way to resolve the argument is tor the two factions to cooperate a attle more. ( Herd's how the argument goes, according to Anderson: Pulpwood dealer: "Getting so you can't find a two-inch green, living -ning in the piney woods no more with them 'blankety' sawmillers outchering everything1 clean down to the size of half a toothpick". Sawmiller: "Ain't goin' to be a stick left after them pulp 'pecker wooders' finish their slaughter. Won't be in business next year if 1 got to put up with their mess". The forestry specialist says there's more than a grain of truth on botn sides. As an answer to the problem, he quoted an authority in "Forestry Digest" urging lumbermen to sell small trees to pulpwood people rather than lose money trying to make .umber out of them. On the other land, the article asked that smai, trees of promising quality and vigor be grown to sawtimber size for max imum profit.

There Is also over 8 million bales of government owned sur plus cotton. An attempt Is now being made to shuck off a mil Uon or so bales to foreign na tions at a price between 6 and 8 cents per pound under prevail mg, market. This does not make foreign cotton producing nations happy. Neither does it gladden Ameri can textile manufacturers fight ing for life against flood of cheap textile Imports made by labor paid as little as 14 cents per hour. They Just can't see the Justice of subsidizing these for eign competitors at U. S. tax payers' expense by giving them cheaper cotton. Actually, price of Quality cot ton Is held to be too low. But market Is glutted with short staple cotton . . . less than one Inch. This Junk cotton Is what the government Is getting. So V,i 8. taxpayers are getting the Short end of the cotton, too.

Thus, xrft and corn land would be takes out of production, planted to trees and grass. Plan envisions farmer beln-r paid for cost of planting and also reimbursed for an annual return from these diverted acres. But to avoid any more million dollar phis government pay ments to huge corporation farms, Secretary Benson proposes to limit payments to any one farm- enie savv per year., -. ., This viewpoint is not going to influence people and win friends for Benson in some quarters. It will be Interesting to see what happens to his proposals. Many observers feel Secretary Benson in past three years would have made great strides with farm situation If there bad not been so many throwing banana peels in his path. Unfortunately, when agricul tural secretaries retire, they do not write their memoirs.

" - . ri 1 V ' , frmm.it "' 4 , 1 If you haven't already done so. it is time to sow tomato, pepper and eggplant seed in hotbeds, coldframes or flats in the kitchen window. Al though it is much easier to buy plants for the garden, we like to grow our own tomato plants. Then we know what we are getting. The seed sowing date will depend on how soon the weather will permit setting in the field. It usually takes from five to eight weeks to produce to mato plants large enough to set, depending on the temperature of the plant bed. Pepper and eggplant are a little slower in developing. By figuring back from the last proba ble frost date we can determine when to sow the seeds. By sowing the seed thinly, it may not be necessary to transplant, but usually transplant ing to two inches apart about a weel after the plants come up will give much stronger and stuckier plants There is no advantage in growinf plants to blooming size before set ting in the field. The young plant will stand the shock of transplant ing better than the older ones. Where no fusarium is present iooii early varieties are Valiant anu Queens, i'arliana, of course, is an old standby. For the main crop Rut tiers and Marglobe are popular. ,Of the hybrids, Burpee's Big Boy has done very well for us. If the garden soil is infected with lusarium wilt, it is advisable to use only such varieties: as Homestead and Jefferson which are highly re sistant to fusarium wilt. These are not early varieties but will survive the wilt. The best variety of pepper is pro bably California Wonder. It is a good grower, and has irtfavy meaty iruits. , ' 1 Eggplant is not a common vege table., in, .North Carolina gardens but ihoubi, be grown nwre.
