A TAR HEEL IN NEW YORK
By BOB COVINGTON
State Collide
The ability of New York children
to adapt their games to thdr city
surroundings is a source of admira
tion to me. There are pubUc play
grounds, of course, but hot enough.
Thousands, perhaps millions of New
York children have to play in the
streets. Forced to play on pave
ment instead of the good eartti, their
playfields Umited to the narrow
width of a city street, honkM at by
trucks and taxis, they nevertheless
manage to play with the joyous en
thusiasm of Aildren everjwhere in
ihe world.
With the less privileged groups of
children, lack of equipment is also a
great restriction. I have seen boys
playing football and baseball with tin
-cans'^more times than I like to re
member. The gilt of an old tennis
ball is enough to set eyes to shining.
But whether these children have
equipment or not, they play and their
shrill shouts of pleasure and ex
citement are music to the ears ^ of
those who spend their time feeling
sorry for them.
The other day, a wonderful day full
of spring and sunshine and promise,
I stopped in the narrow street to
wa1|ch a group of six boys playing a
game that was supposed to be base
ball but was about as much like
baseball as a wheelbarrow is like an
automobile.
With a piece of chalk, the kids had
marked out four bases oA the as
phalt pavement. Each had been care
fully labeled “home pla^," “first
base,” and so on. The “batter” stood
at the plate with a small sugar sack
stuffed 'With rags. Instead of hitting
a ball, he threiv this little sugar sack
where it would be hardest to get and
ran around the bases. In order to
settle their certain problems during
the course of the game, they had
worked out an elaborate set of ground
rules.
It was hard to get the rules just
by listening, but they took care of
everything that mi^t possibly arise.
For example, a car driving down the
street did not stop the game until it
passed the drug store sev^l doors
from home plale. If a runner left
lis base after the cfu: passed the
^rug store, he had to return to his
base. If he left his base before the
cEur passed the drug store, he had
time to make the trip ^ the nerf
Base and was withip his rights. So it
was that the iuual arguments of kids
were increased a thousandfold. Not
only did they Imve to argue whether
a man wes out or not, they firrt he4
to argue v^Eettxer,'a inan. had left his
base before or after a tar trassed a
certain point an, the sttwt. You can
imagine the coroplii&tions.
For the girls, hop-scotdi k a greai;
street ^ine. .Many are the times 1
hav^ walked down a New York streei.
so scrawled up with chalked pens for
hop-scotch as to make a cMXtinuous
chain- from one end of the block to
the next Somefimes they are on the
sidew^ sometimes in the street ane
the chilfir^ so used to the cabs
and.trucks that I have seen.a little
girl titering bn one foot while a
car inched by close enough to throw
her off balance.
New York’s present administration
has greatly increased the park and
play space in the city. New swim
ming and wading pools have been
built with the help of the W. P
A. But still' it seems to me that the
greatest tragedy of this great city is
the youngsters who spend their child
hood hardly knowing what it is to
ryn without having to be ready to
stop quickly if a cab careens around
the comer. ■ . -
Fans Qaestions
Question—When ^ould cotton re
ceive a side dressing?
Answer—Cotton should be side -
dressed within 10 days after Up
ping on aU except heavy soil wes
with 18 pounds of soluble nitrogen.
An exarapJe ot this would be 100
pounds of nitrate of soda to the acm.
If a 3-8-3 /fertilizer was used, the
nitrate of soda applicati^ should be
increased to 125 pQund|to toe acre.
If rust ^srmptbms hayeMeveloped m
previous crops, ain additional 25 to
50 pounds ff potash: within 10 days
after chopping should be used if toe
potash content of the fertilizer usee
was not increased. This would mean
the addition of 50 to 100 pounds of
muriate of pdtato or 125 to 250 pounds
of kainit. ?
'Question — How should poultry
houses with dirt floors be disiirfect-
ed? .
Answer—Dirt floors, regardl^ of
the care given them, are a distino;
menace to toe welfare of toe poultry
industry, says Roy S. Dearstyne, head

of toe State College Poultry Departe
ment; If conditions actually neo^-
tate houses with such floors,
should be scraped once
Four to six toebes to dirt sbould be
removed and replaced with sand or
soil from unpblluted sourcM.
material removed should be taken
to some place where chickens do not
range. ■
Question—What is toe best method
of feeding swine? ^
Answer—The self-feeder method
is toe best way to feed fattening hogs^
It. saves labor sind feed, is an ideal
way to utilize diy feed helps keep
feed clean, ahd enables each pig to
select his own ration. Where
ing sows are self-fed, the pigs wil
learn to eat from the feeder before
weaning time. - When toe sows ax&
taken away at weaning time, toe pigs
may be continued on the seU-feeder
without interruption.
