Talk Doesn't Establish
Credit
word continues to trickle from Eu
rope, where Italy and France are pre
tending that they want to settle their
wage debts with the United States.
Naturally, if they want to pay what
they owe, the way to do it is to make
a start by sending some cash. But,
it seems, there is another little mat
ter involved, both nations want to be
sure that if they pay they will be able
to borrow some more money in this
country.
Italy needs cash for expansion in
Ethiopia, and France, fearing another
war, wants to be in a position to get
financial help on this side of the At
lantic. Such being the facts, we ad
vise readers not to expect any great
reduction in the national debt from
the payments made by debtor nations.
The Nation's
Problem?
The great problem before the Unit
ed States, just now, is what to do
with those that are unemployed, will
ing but unable to find work.
The National Industrial Conference
Board estimates the unemployed at 8,
975,000, the American Federation of
Labor says 11,000,000 and the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers
asserts the correct figures are "less
than 5,000,000 without work and seek
ing work."
With these conflicting estimates it
seems reasonable to have a census of
the unemployed,-as suggested by Sec
retary Roper, but immediately bobs
up another question, "When is a per
son unemployed?" Does the class in
clude those who formerly worked oc
casionally, the part-time worker and
those engaged in seasonal occupa
tions ?
President Rosevelt has suggested
that the unemployed be allowed to
register themselves, thus saving time
and expense. Business leaders indi
cate, on their part, a willingness to
make special efforts to give work to
the unemployed. Altogether there is
much discussion of the question. May
be a solution is in sight after all, and
the near future will see the truth of
the prophecy that America will once
again face a labor shortage.
"Natehel" frogram
Makes Bow On Radio
Much interest is being shown in the
radio feature recently inaugurated by
the Natural Chilean Nitrate people,
now a regular program on twelve
leading Southern stations.
The leading characters are Uncle
Natchel and Sonny. The former is a
sage old darky, whose name derives
from his intence love for "natchel
things." The latter is his small white
charge, the son of Natchel's employer,
whose adventures and schemes are
those that are natural in the life of a
typical farm boy.
Uncle Natchel is played by Frank
Wilson, who portrayed "Moses" in
both the stage and film version of
"Green Pastures." Sonny is James
Franklyrr Allen, a Tennessee boy of
nine, who already has shown marked
talent in radio and motion picture
roles.
"Uncle Natchel and "Sonny" are
supported by a well-balanced cast of
radio players, and the many musical
numbers arranged by the author, Mrs.
Florence Richardson, an authority on
Southern folk lore and old Negro
songs, are especially appealing. The
two leading characters, "Uncle Natch
el" and "Sonny," have been featured
pictorially for three years on the
Natural Chilean Nitrate calendars.

Careless Management
Costly to Apiarists
Careless management of bees in
winter often costs apiarists half the
honey producing value of their col
onies.
Colonies which barely manage to
survive the winter are so weak they
can produce only small quantities of
honey in the spring and summer.
Successful wintering depends large
ly on the condition of the colonies as
they enter the winter, said C. L. Sams,
State College Extension opiarist.
The colonies should have good
queens, a large number of bees, and
abundant stors of honey.
If good queens are introduced to the
colonies in time to start laying six to
eight weeks before the first killing
frost, and if the hives have plenty of
honey, there will be a strong bee pop
uation at the start of the honey flow
next Spring, Seams continued.
When the honey is taken from the
hives for the last time in the fall,
care should be exercised not to take
too much.
Single colonies should have the
combs three-fourths full of honey,
and two-story colonies should have the
food chambers filled completely.
In case the bees run short of their
natural food, feed them a syrup made
up of two parts granulated sugar to
one part of water.
Each colony should be fed enough
to bring the food stores up to 40 or
50 pounds, Sams pointed out.
