A war brings to many the prob

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

by N. C. State College. It is short

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

garden insects.

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

to take shape in your bewildered

set desien: a balanced rhymical tap
estry of movement, the perfection of
which rests on the interdependence
of the previous, the prent and

of this ever-changing, smoothly
flowing pattern is an ever-increasing
satisfaction to the dancer.

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."

Southern Fanning
Film To Be Shown
In the State
The new AAA motion picture on
Southern agriculture entitled, "Farm
Battle Lines" soon will be shown in
theatres throughout North Carolina
as a result of arrangements between
the U- S. Department of Agriculture
and Republic Pictures, Inc., it was
announced today by G. T. Scott,
chairman of the State AAA Com
mittee. The picture was directed by Roger
BarloW and its heroes are the men,
women, and chillren who are plow,
ing, planting, hoeing and canning
tha country's way to victory. 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.
