REPORT TO "THE PEOPLE"
Wheels are turning . . . machine
are humming . men are working
- alf over America.
. . From the Atlantic to the Pacific
Brooke curia upward from tens of
thousands of smoke stacks aa stupen
dous orders are filled for guns and
tanks and planes and boats. The
whole country thinks and talks one
thing "production for defense.
, t Each one of us feels herself vitally
' mad, personally concerned with things
ire've scarcely heard of before; ma
ffline tools, sub-contracting, commu
nity pooling plans for defense to
mention a few. We want to know
jfcactly what is happening and where
and how. We'd like to see inside the
plants that are making these ma
chines. We'd like to talk to the men
- there and to the men higher up in
k the offices and to the officials of the
cities that are centers for defense.
We want to know how much more
America is doing this month than
last and what the plans are for the
months to come. And now we can!
Each Saturday night at 7 o'clock
EOT (or later depending on our sta
tion) we can tune in our radios to
the Red Network of the National
Broadcasting Company and hear the
story of one of the great defense in
dustries told by the men who are
d actually carrying it on. The doors
of great industrial plants will open
to us via the radio and we will
hear the actual whirr of the machin
ery that is working day and, in many
cases, night to turn out the materials
to make this great land of ours sate
from attack. And we will hear the
voices of the men who tend the ma
chines that make the products. We'll
hear what they do and what they
think of it. We'll' hear a little of
their own histories so that, though

Timely Questions On
Farm Answered
QUESTION: Is it too late to sow
leepedeza?
'j ANSWER: Enos Blair, extension
'agronomist of N. C. State College,
says if you haven't finished sowing
Common, Tennessee 76, or Kobe les
pedeza, be sure to complete the jot
right now. If broadcast, sow 35 to 40
pounds of seed to the acre and cover
with a section harrow. If a grain
drill is used, 25 pounds of seed will
be sufficient. Pastures also may i
seeded during March, and small grain
sown last fall should be top-dressed
as early this month as possible.
QUESTION: When may baby
chicks be allowed to run out-of-doors?
ANSWER: Roy Dearstyne, head of
the State College Poultry Depart
ment, says chicks may be turned out
JLs goon as the weather permits.
Allow the chicks to stay out only for
a while each day in this process of
"hardening" them. He also calls
attention to another poultry practice
that should receive the farmer's
attention now, that is culling. Since
S"bird consumes about seven pounds
of feed a month, all boarder hens
should be removed from the flock as
soon as possible.
Jt QUESTION: When should
portable farrowing house be provided
for iwiner
ANSWER: Ellis Vestal, extension
wine specialist of State College
says, a portable farrowing house
should be made ready before - the
, spring litter of pigs arrives. Sows
v and pigs do better if plenty of green
grazing is provided. Likewise,
. growers should baild a self-feeder
for their swine. Plans for a farrowing
house and self-feeder may be ob
tained from the county farm agent.

we cannet see them, they will seem
like real people to us. Then well
hear from some one in the office
whose job it is to coordinate the out
put of his plant with that of others
and see that it is made properly
and on time. Well listen too, to the
civic leaders of the various cities as
we tour the country each Saturday
night ,and learn what America is
really doing.
The first of the broadcasts in this
series called "Defense for America"
went on the air, appropriately
enough, February 22nd, just 209
years to a day after the birth of the
Father of our Country. It brought
America the story of the machine
tool industry from Cleveland, Ohio,
that great industrial city on Lake
Erie. A week later, March 1st, the
program comes from Santa Monica,
California, and the story is that of
the airplane industry. During the
next few weeks we shall have this
same direct person-to-person account
of oil, of tanks, of shipbuilding, as
we visit Tulsa, Okla., Berwick, Pa.,
Norfolk and Newport News and
other industrial centers.
They have built up great arma
ments in other lands, we know. In
the dictator countries, secretly and
in the democracies with certain re
served reports. But here in the
United States of America where the
opinion of every man, woman and
child counts in forming the bulwark
of public opinion which is just as im
portant as the actual materials for
defense, we are being given this un
precedented first-hand account of
defense production. For here in
America things have always been
different. And as Industry builds up
defense, it, like the government, re
ports direct to "the people" who are
sovitally concerned.
Swamp Canal Closed
Army engineers have notified the
public that due to construction of
new locks in the Dismal Swamp
Canal at South Mills, N. C, the canai

nipht on March 3. It is expected to
be opened again about March 24.
