For sheer unadulterated good time these classes are hard to beat. You majr say, "Country Dances? Oh, no, those would never do for ne!" But those who have partic ipated wilt reply, "Oh, yes, they would!

A war brings to many the prob lem of tenon. Our recreation per iods must be of such nature that for the time we are taken completely out of ourselves. We need fun, mu sic, rhythm, companionship, with a good leavening of the old-fashioned hearty laughter in which our grand parents indulged. So if you are seeking an outlet which you haven't yet found, why not try this form of entertainment, from which all the above benefits and many imore may be obtained.

Fortunately, ! ed demands for nitogen, in muni tions and for industrial purposes, I and the necessity for accumulating j larger and larger stocks of nitrates ; to meet war demands, are the three principal reasons for the present ni I trogen shortage as applied to fer tilizers, say 1 Dr. Kalph W. Cum- m.ngs, head of the Department of ' Agronomy. N. C. State College. No one questions the absolute ne c.ssity of these limitations, said Dr. Ci'mniings. but coming late as they , did, has caused a considerable amount of confusion. Farmers are More Gardens Needed For Food Supply Every grower of a Victory Gar den should have a copy of War Se ries Bulletin No. 14, recently issued by N. C. State College. It is short and practical, covering the planning of the garden, luting those vegeta bles best suited to this section, and giving other timely information such as the preparation of the soil, planting schedule, mr.ount of :eed to be sown, pointers on disease con trol, and information on common garden insects. It suggests the follow 'ng canning budget for a family of Ave: String beans 20 quarts, lima beans S, beets 10, carrots S, com S, green 1 5, okra S, garden peas 10, soup mixture 30, tomatoes 60, dried vegetables 5Q pounds and dried fruits 40 pounds. Advanced gardeners should re quest "The Farm and Home Garden Manual," Extension Circular .. 0.123 and also "Canning Fruits and Vege Manual," Exetension C Ycular 122 All of these may be obtained free of charge as long a", the supply last on applicat on to the Agricultural' Editor at State College, Raleigh. . "You need a Victory Garden be. cause increasing amounts of com mercially canned goods will have to be sent to the fighting fronts and to our allies, because the rationing of meats will require the use of vege tables for a balanced diet, and be cause your family may not be prop erly fed unless you grow your food supply at home," says Exteniion Horticulturist H. R.

' . , . , . tions of the Experiment Station for laughing, too. and not at you, but enh ,,. ,, ., ,. with you; they till remember their own first experience. A the dance find yourself snatched by one and whirled to the right, pounced on by another i-r.d swung to the left. Be tween gurgles of laughter you may finally succeed in getting in step with sweone else who has "slip ed" yw-Jrom "here" to "there"; at which point the entire formation disintegrates and you find yourself being apparently jumped at by an other grinning stranger. But as the set confines mental ignpests begin to appear, saying, "Expect to be pounced on here" jnd yu pounce back on time. "A swing comes next." and to your le llght you are ready for it. As the riince progresses the pattern begins to take shape in your bewildered av.ind. Suddenly the hodge-podge of1 jumpir? around shows itself to be a set desien: a balanced rhymical tap estry of movement, the perfection of which rests on the interdependence of the previous, the prent and the fullmiing motions. The con sciousness or being an integral part of this ever-changing, smoothly flowing pattern is an ever-increasing satisfaction to the dancer. And so it goes the lark for an evening becomes a diversion for years to c-.me. Some come for the merriment, tome for the pleasure of executing the steps, but by far the greatest number partcipate for tie complete rejuvination of weary bodies aifd even more weary out looks. Sch-1 teachers have said that after a week of teaching and rationing the effort sea:ned too great to make, but at the close of the evening confess-ed that nothing else could have so freshened them. One defense worker said that after end- placed fertilizer orders some time ago but these will have to be revised progresses you , based on the la,est opders anJ reg. ulations of the Secretary of Agri culture. Airrercan industry is producing reasonably adequate supplies of both superpho iphate and potash and most dislocations in the supply of fertil izers is involved largely with nitro gen. In the last twelve months the pro duction of nitrogen in the United States has been greatly increased and Dr. Cummings says that n tro gen prices 'after the war may be lower than formerly. This will en able the farmer to use much larger amount; per acre, especially on the low priced crops which he may want to grow. SAYS POSSIBILITY OF AIR RAIDS ON EAST GREATER New York, Feb. 6. George S. Van Schaick, drector of the Office of Civ ilian Defcn e, second region, declar ed here to day that the possibility of air raids on tlu United States East Coast is greater now than ever be fore as a result of recent German military reverses. "The lift in morale that the Ger mans need to check the deteriora tion of spirits that has set in in Hit ler's unhappy land would, quite logically, be a raid on New York or Washington," he declared. "The re action in Germany would be much the .iame as ours when General DooCttle bombed Tokyo." Van Schaick said "the danger of enemy air attack on our home front increaes as the situation becomes desperate for our enemies aborad."

Department of Agriculture and Republic Pictures, Inc., it was announced today by G. T. Scott, chairman of the State AAA Com mittee.

The picture shows particularly how two of North Carolina's crops peanuts and cotton are actuall fighting on world battle fronts. It also pays tribute to the housewives who are growing Victory Gardens and can ning food at home to keep their families healthy and take a load off of already overburdened transpor tation facilities. Other activities ' along the farm battle line which are pictures in the movie include collecting scrap metal, baring farm machinery, and sav ing soil resources through conser vation practices. Scott also announced that prints of this film for small projectors are now available for use at farm meet ings over the State. These may be obtained by writing the State USDA War Board at Raeligh.
