BETHEL CHAPTER The mem
bers of the Bethel chapter of the
Future Farmers of America will hold
their first agricultural students' fair
at the school Friday, October 8. Th rv
will be three classes of exhibits,
namely, an exhibit of the student's
project, a project record book exhibit
of projects already sold or used, and
an open class of products of special
merit which were grown on the boy's
home farm. Cash prizes will be aw
arded to the winners in the various
classes. All boys of the chapter will
carry in entries and a good exhibit
is anticipated, both from the stand
point of quantity and quality of en
tries. The boys of the ninth, tenth and
eleventh grades have been busy dur
ing1 the past week or so helping Miss
Emma Ferguson and her home eco
nomic classes modernize the home
economics rooms. The boys have made
two built-in sinks, two screen doors,
three screen windows and a closet,
and repaired two cabinets. The boys
will use. pari of their shop and class
room time improving the school
grounds in the next few weeks.
CLYDE CHAPTER met Wednes
day, September 29. The main fea
ture of the meeting was the appoint
ment of the committees. All the
members were present with the ex
ception of one who was away because
of sickness.
Our boys are watching with a great
deal of interest the erection of our
shop. In a short while it will be so
we can begin using it. It might be
initiated into service by initiating our
Green Hands in it.
The Clyde Chapter was recently in
vited to broadcast a program over
station WBT, Charlotte, but was forc
ed to decline the invitation because
of the distance and the fact that the
broadcast was to be given at night.
The first ' month of school
closed and most of the agriculture
boys made fair to good grades but

not make the., required 70 for a pass

INDIANAPOLIS Once again
the theme song of the agricultural
areaa of United States is "How
you gonna keep 'em down on the
farm".
As conditions have ImDroved in
Urban centers the flow of people
(irom ine country to the city has
I been resumed, reversing th tide of
recent years when the depression
sent thousands of city dwellers to
rural areas where they had a
better chance to eke out a living.
During 1936 more than half a
million more persons moved from
country to city than changed their
metropolitan addresses for one on
the R. F. D. This total, based on
latest reports of the federal census
bureau, reveals a sharn contrast
from the trend during the five
preceding years.
J Depression Checked Exodus
Farm population made a net
gain of more than 1,600,000 during
'. the years from 1930 through 1935,
the largest exodus of people from
city to country being in the bottom-depression
year of 1932 when
722,000 moved from metropolitan
centers to. places where they could
raise foodstuffs and keep a few
chickens and a cow.
During these years the younger
generation, instead of hiking off to
the city to make their fortune, re
turned to the old homestead and
helped their folks.
Another factor enters into the
picture aside from (the general in
clination of rural residents to
Prefer living and working in the
city. Technical advances made In
farming have cut down the neces
sary number of workers while, at
" same lime, increasing production.
The need for man-power in the
rural areas has been steadily re
duced during the past three
decades, as evidenced bv com
parative statistics which show that
iw Dustiels of wheat can now be
grown and harvested in about half
as many man-hours as were neces
sary a quarter century ago. Con
sidered from another angle, the
farm worker todav averages an
output nearly 50 per cent greater
than did those Who tilled the sol 1
in 1910.
New Industries Needed
The exodus from countrv to ritv
then, is not as alarming as it might
seem, since It Is but natural that
the displaced agricultural workers
seek employment in urban centers
where new lines of industry have
created more jobs.
Chief worry in this connection,
however, Is to develop new in
dustries and spur commercial ex
pansion to keep pace with the
rural army annually invading the
cities so that they may be
absorbed.
This farm-to-citv flow has con
tinued for the past quarter century
during which the farm population
decreased about one per cent while
the population throughout the
entire country increased more than
40 per cent. It is probable that ,
this trend will continue, also, since i
farming is being further mechan- i
izeci and an increasing number of l
workers frerd.

NOTICE OF KKSALE
Haywood county will be represented
at the Asheville 4-H dairy cattle show
at the Recreational Park, Friday, Oc
tober 8th, by six Guernsey female an
imals. There will be approximately
100 animals at this show representing
some of the besr, dairy animals to be
found in Western North Carolina. All
persons interested in good dairy cattle
should attend this show.
before storing. Imperfect onion bulbs
will not keep well, neither will bulbs
which have produced seed stalks.
Handle carefully. Store in slatted
crates in the attic where the atmos
phere is dry and temperature is
around 50 degrees F, A basement or
cellar is not a good place to store.
Pumpkins and Squashes. Place
specimens in rows or shelves so they
will not come in contact with each
other. They keep best at a tempera
ture of 50 degrees. A hay loft is a
good place to store this crop with a
good covering of straw or hay used in
order to prevent freezing.
According to H. R. Niswoiiger, Ex
tension Horticulturist from State Col
lege, many fruits and vegetables
may be satisfactorily stored at home
in various parts of the dwelling or
similar places. Products to be stored
should be of high quality, free from j
mechanical injuries, insects, and dis-
eases, should be mature, but not over j Cabbaf Same as for potatoes.

When storing in basement remove
roots, but do not remove outer leaves.
Iteans and Field Peas may be picked Place on shelves with cut stem up.

with carbon bisulphide for forty-eight
hours for control of weevils. Pour a
small quantity of the liquid in a shal
low dish which is placed on top of the
beans. The vapor from this liquid will
penetrate the beans or peas and de
stroy the weevils. Repeat this treat
ment within ten days or two weeks.
Carbon bisulphide can be purchased
at drug stores. Heating the beans or
peas in an oven with a temperature of
125 degrees to 150 degrees for one
hour may be practiced, mixing four
parts of lime to one part of seeds.
Mixing thoroughly is another method
of preserving injury from weevils.
Root Crops. Carrots, beets, and
i turnips. These crops should have the
tops cut off leaving short leaf stems.
They may be stored in shallow crates
and placed in the cellar. An occa
sional sprinkling with water will pre
vent shriveling. They may be stored
in outside pits. When storing outside
select a well drained place, make a
shallow excavation around six inches
deep, line with straw or old hay and
place the root crop in a conical pile.
Cover root crop with same material,
and then with several inches of dirt.
A section of stove pipe or a boxed flue
may be inserted through the apex of
the pile extending into the stored
product to serve as ventilation. The
opening of the ventilating flue should
be covered with a piece of tin or a
board to keep out the rain. When
freezing weather occurs additional
layers of dirt should be added in order
to prevent freezing.
Onions and Sweet Potatoes should
be well matured and thoroughly dried
MM 13137
Method for Pit Storage for Irish
Potatoes. Dig a hole 3 or 4 feet deep
and about ii feet wide and in length
according to quantity of potatoes to
be stored. Pour potatoes in pit heap
ing with level of surface of the
ground and cover vith a thick layer
of straw. Put a layer of dirt a foot
thick over the straw except along the
ridge where a strip about foot wide
from end to is left. This uncovered
strip of straw allows for ventilation.
The strip of straw should be protect
ed from heavy rains. When freezing
weather comes cover strip of straw
with dirt.
