HOME MAY BE RUN LIKE BUSINESS Family Income Should be Budgeted in Order That* Greatest Return May be Obtained. A good housekeeper can take a few hints from a Well organized business office, said Miss Pauline Gordon, State College extension specialist in home management. For example, she said, the house keeper can make a work schedule to divide the day among the differ ent tasks that have to be done and to show which tasks are or can be done by various members of the family. The family needs should be studied, and the family income so budgeted that the greatest returns for all concerned may be secured, Miss Gordon continued. A record is helpful in keeping a check on household activities and in making plans for the future. Such a book is a good place to set down addresses, facts about the household and the family person nel, automobile data, books owned, borrowed, and loaned, Christmas cards to be sent or acknowledged, gifts given or desired, clubs and their dues and meeting days, cloth ing sizes and measurements for the family, preferred brands and amounts of food needed, garden plantings and suggestions, menus for company, things needed, insur ance date, magazine: subscriptions carried, and numerous other things. An inventory should be made of house furnishings to show what is woned, the condition of the fur niture, and what may bl ; needed now or in the future. A reminder file is good for call ing attention to special household tasks that must be done within cer tain periods, visitors due, birthdays, special anniversaries, dates when payments must be made on insur ance, taxes, or articles purchased on thq installment plan, and many other duties that may be lost sight of. SEPT. GOOD FOR ALL COVER CROPS Winter Legumes Have Real Soil- Building Value and Should be Sown. September is thq best month of the year for sowing cover crops, according to E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. .The winter legumes which have real soil-building value in this State, he said, are crimson clover, vetch, and Austrian winter peas. The one to use depends largely up on soil type and personal prefer ence. Crimson clover should be sown at the rate of 25 pounds to the acre, while 20 pounds of vetch is enough for an acre. Thirty pounds of wint er peas are needed to sow an acre thoroughly. Vetch and winter peas are better for light sandy soils, as they may be sown deeper than crimson clover and, will stand more drouth when coming up. Crimson clover is excellent for sandy loams, clay loams, and clay soils, but should not be sown when the soil is unusually dry. Wait for a good season and sow the seed Vefy shallow. To produce a satisfactory crop, Blair continued, the soil in which these legumes are to be grown should be inoculated, either natur ally or artificially. Blair also pointed out that soy bean and cowpep hay should be mown in September. Soybeans should be cut as soon as the pods begin to form, and cowpeas are ready for mowing as soon as bloom ing is well under way. Allow the hay to wilt slightly in the trough, tHqn rake it into wind rows. After a few hours, put it up on a rack, either the tripod form or poles with cross pieces at differ ent heights to provide ventilation. If the stacks are made properly, PAINTING SERVICE!

DRIVE BY SPEEDOMETER Abe Martin (Kin Hubbard) once spoke of one of his neighbors who had a pretty good rule for safe motoring: He drove just fast enough to “spit comfortable . lii the old days of open cars it was easier to gauge our speed. Today with cars closed and with quiet motors under our hoods, with smooth roads, and with excellent springs on our cars, we have no idea how fast we’re going until we tie ourselves in a bow knot around a telephone pole or plough into a truck. ° Lew Holtz tells of a man who, when asked the size of his shoes, replied- I wear sevens, but eights feel so good that I wear nines." To paraphrase that: There, are times when we should be driving 40, but 50 seems so slow that we drive 60. i>peed ts comparative. When we start out, 30 seems fast. Then, pretty soon, 40 seems slow. Then we get up to 50 and 60 and 65 without realizing it. Since most accidents— and the worst PUN TO BUILD 350 NEW SHIPS Washington, Sept. 3 Contend ing that 350 new ships are needed to put the American Merchant Ma rine on even, terms with fordign vessels, Shipping Board Bureau of ficials reported today they are lay ing tentative groundwork for a large construction program. The new five-member commis sion, created under the ship law enacted by the last Congress after a bitter controversy, has not yet been appointed by President Roose velt. it does begin function ing, officials said, foundation work for the new construction program will have been accomplished. They said the co-operation of pri vate operators will be necessary to carry out the expansion. If they should approve of the program and take full advantage of the proffer ed subsidies, it was said, as much as 500 million dollars might be spent for new construction. To launch the program, the mar itime commission will have about 100 million in cash plus another 87 million dollars of notes receivable now held by the Shipping Board Bureau. Under the new law the United States will pay direct grants to op erators to build and run ships. o Jacob Van Hoff, shoemaker of Orange City, lowa, makes by hand wooden shoes which he sells to the Dutch settlers of his community at SI.OO a pair. he continued, the hay may be left out for a month or more and be fairly well cured. Don’t wait too late to cut the beans and peas,” he urged, “or you will get beans or peas and straw rather than hay.” The Tobacco Crop Is About Cured In other words you have your year’s work stored in your pack barn. You hope it will not burn, but if it does catch on fire you are rather sure that you can’t put it out. You know that insurance would protect you, but for some reason you have neglected to take out any.

C. : accidents—occur m these upper speed i brackets, according to accident statis : tics gathered by The Travelers Insur : we must decide IN ADVANCE what our top speed is to i be under certain road conditions—and then drive by speedometer, NOT by feel i or "ear”. On a recent 500-mile trip, with my family, I said "We don’t cross 50 on this trip.’’ We might have done 60 or 65 safely on good stretches, but our tires are getting a little aged, so I said Jv. Now you can’t observe a rule like that unless you make your speedometer your guide. Your sense of speed is no good after you’ve driven a while. An occasional glance at your speedometer will tell you if you are going 52. And your wife can tell you, too. The limits should, of course, be lower under many conditions —for example, never over 35 at night. r^ I ri,^S.il? r d"Doiled with yourself. DON’T CHEAT. RALEIGH SELECTED > BY PRESBYTERIANS Final Session of Statesville Meeting Devoted to Reports on Activities. I Statesville, Sept. 3 The North Carolina synod of the Presbyterian church adjourned here late today . aftep deciding to meet next in Peace Junior college at Raleigh. The final session was devoted to reports on various phasys of the denomination’s activity. The report on woman’s work showed 391 auxiliaries, over 25,000 members and 928 circles. The wo men will meet next month at Lau rinburg in annual session. Dr. W. C. Pressly reported on the organization of the North Carolina Council of Churches. This organi zation absorbs the North Carolina Sunday School association without taking its obligations. It was announced a meeting will be held at Winston-Salem October ; 26-28 as a convocation of ministers of all denominations to discover t artrps of cooperation. Bishop Paul B. Kern of Greensboro is chaiman of the executive committee. The synod voted to maintain the Rev. R. K. Davenport and the Rev. F. M. Dick, both of Raleigh, as full time evangelists, beginning early in 1937. The action was taken upon rec ommendation of Dr. E. E. Gillespie, of Greensboro, the retiring moder ator. The report of the committee on moral and social welfare urged the need of world peace, economic jus tice;, racial comity, and discourage ment of gambling, drinking, un wholesome recreation, Sabbath de secration and slaughter on the high ways. FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: What can I do to my tobacco field to prevent a recur rence of tobacco mosaic next year? Answer: If the infestation was heavy, tobacco should be left off the fietfd next year. If this rotation cannot be followed the next best thing is to cut up the land and plants with a disk. Fall disking up-1 roots and cuts up the plants so that they undergo considerable decay during the winter and many of the disease spores are killed. The plants should never be left standing over winter as many of them will reach spring in a semi-living condition and with an abundance of active j virus in their roots and this will cause a heavy spread after the plants are set in tile; field. Question: How should soil be treated to kill eggs of worms that' infest poultry? Answer: There is no treatment of! thjej soil that is practical and that 1 would guarantee the destruction of worm eggs. The most effective measure lies in rigid sanitation. The house should have clean litter and the dropping boards should be so wired that the birds do not have access to the droppings. Whtn the litter is removed it should be burn ed or carried far enough away from the poultry house that the birds cannot reach it. It is also a good practice; to plow up the land for 75 feet about the house each year and seed it down to some good grazing crop. Question: How much alfalfa should be seedfejd to the acre to get a good stand? Answer: At least 25 pounds and preferably 30 pounds of seed should be planted for best results. A good stand is worth far morie than the cost of 5 or 10 pounds of seed and a thick stand also prevents weeds and grass from getting a start. You don’t nave to FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!
