To the right lies One Acre For The Lord Scheme To Help Churches During 1937 If country churches are to play the -vital and dynamic part they should play in Southern life, work, and thought, they must be much better supported financially. The Progres sive Fnr presents a thought-pro-.tWg accouify of, a great new reli gious movement coming out of the Southern mountains which should be of interest to everyone who feels concern about our rural churches. "We quote the following extracts: "A man came to his church trea surer with- $20 toward his pastor's salary. It was from his 'Lord's Acre' potatoes and was the first sub stantial contribution he had ever made to the church.

At the extreme left, spanning the East river, is the new Triborough bridge over which many of the 50,000,000 visitors expected at the Fair will motor to the convenient parking lots. A photograph of the table model of the Fair has been super imposed on the negative of the air view to show the grid of the central exhibit zone, the boat basin being constructed on Flushing Bay and the lagoons that will feature the exposition's amusement zone. Lights! Camera i lens, the scope of the hunt generally is broadened , to Include subjects that do not require all of these aids. For Instance, a contestant owning an ordinary camera may successfully photograph on ordinary film a bril liantly Illuminated street or sky scraper by making a time exposure. Again, such a picture as a theater entrance may be snapped without flash bulbs, it a fast lens and super sensitive film are used. Usually no limit Is placed on the number of ex posures for any subject Under such rules, the field of the hunt is wide open to all types of equipment. . .Picture hunting at night not only proves a test of picture-taking skill and Judgment, bat ft offers interest lag adventure, and each one's ac count of bow his pictures were ob tained proves a big part of the eve ning's fun. Tried recently in New York by a group of "socialites," the picture hunt idea has spread and Is being adapted also to daytime picture hunting. The daytime hunt appeals; especially to club, church and other; social organisations. It winds up In the evening as the main feature of a dinner or supper meeting at which the c pictures ; are, displayed and; Judged. Subjects pertaining to the activities of the organisation arei assigned and the pictures, in addi tioa to their pictorial Interest, proves of ., considerable historical value to the organisation.

Answer: The heat should be re gulated so as to maintain a tempe rature of 98 degrees at the outer edge of the canopy and on a level with the chicks' head for the first week. This should be reduced five degrees each week until the sixth week. Avoid running the brooder at a sub-normal temperature as the crowding will make chicks very sus ceptible to colds. The brooder should he started three days before the chicks are to be placed in the house so that the operator may make any required adjustments. Question: How can I control flea- beetles in my tobacco plant beds? Answer: A trap built around the main bed will give excellent results. ! A diagram showing how to build this trap bed with full directions as to construction are given in Exten sion Circular No. 174 on Control of Tobacco Insects and a copy will be sent free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State College, Raleigh. The insects also may be controlled by poisoning the bed with mixture of one pound of paris green and five pounds of arsenate of lead applied at the rate of one-half pound t oeach 100 square yards of bed. The application should be made when the plants are dry as they are easily burned when moist with dew or rain. Question: What can I do for my sows that have the staggers and are losing the use of their hind legs? Answer: This trouble, in all pro bability, is caused by a deficiency in the ration and can be corrected by substituting yellow corn for white corn, adding about six per cent of alfalfa meal to the ration, or by giving one ounce of cod liver oil daily. Experimental results show that pasturing" Teen rye also re lieved the symptoms of pigs suffer ing from vitamin A deficiency. Re sults of these experiments and re commendations for correction are found in Technical Bulletin No. 62 and copies may be obtained by writ- ins; the Agricultural Editor, State College.

Extension poultry specialists at State College estimate that 20,000, 000 baby chicks will be started this year. This is approximately six chicks for every individual in North Carolina. Taking care of this tremendous horde of new birds places a respon - sible burden on the shoulders of the State's noultrvmen. Feeding, man- agement, and housing problems must!farms ia smaller than the average be met with a store of scientific knowledge if the chicks are to prove profitable to the farmer. Slipshod methods mean losses and inferior birds. Improper feeding is responsible for huge losses each year, declares H. C. Gauger, poultry specialist at State College. But, he says, these losses can be cut greatly if the farm er will become acquainted with scientific feed formulae. In a radio talk on the Carolina Farm Features program Friday, January 15, he will take up recent findings in poultry nutritional re search and explain how these late developments can be of great help to the poultryman.

Experiment stations and potato growers have found that 1,500 to 2,250 pounds per acre of a 5-7-7 analy sis is a good mixture for quality and yield. Plenty of potash in the fertilizer is neces sary to fill out the tuber and get the most desirable market type. Potash also makes potato plants less susceptible to disease.

However, the report said, North Carolina has less land under lease to tenants than the United States as a whole. The national average in 1935 was 45 per cent. The highest percentage was found not in the deep South but in the Middlewest. South Dakota had 62 per cent, Oklahoma 00 ; or cent, Illinois 59 per cent, Iowa 58 per cent, Kansas 56 per cent, Arizona 54 per cent, and Nebraska 53 per cent. Farm tenancy tends to increase with the commercialization of agri culture, the report stated. Increas ing proportions of the farmers are becoming tenants in regions where cash-crop production is dominant, and greater proportions of tenants are becoming croppers or wage hands in the South. try Nutrition Research"; and Sat urday, Forestry Department.
