Sin regard to the work performed l prisoners of war during 1944, eneral Lerch says that this repre , nted a saving of $80,000,000 at rmy posts, camps and stations. In jmuch as the prisoners work at pre ailing wages but receive only eighty 3)ts a day in canteen coupons for ,ieir labor, the Government manages 1 make a profit on all work per nned by prisoners of war.

(e) An international oil agree ment. (f) Further proposals in the held of international aviation, shipping and radio and wire communications. Space is not available to take up these individual suggestions and to elaborate the reasons that urge prompt adoption of the program by the United States.

Kuy More War Bonds Very Few Peanuts Now Being Moved CCC Allocations Princi pal Source of Supply For Operations Very few farmers' stock peanuts are moving in any section. In the Southeast practically the entire ton nage, except that held by CCC and for seed, has moved from growers to shellers' hands. In the Virginia Carolina area some small lots of farmers' stock peanuts are still mov ing to mills. Recent allocations of peanuts which were made by CCC to shellers in the Southeast and South west are now providing the principal source of supply for current opera tions in those sections. In the Virginia-Carolina area some cleaned peanuts are still available for currenf sale and occasional lots of shelled peanuts are still moving to the civilian trade. Many mills are quite closely sold up on both shelled and cleaned goods.

Mrs. McKimmon was one of the five pioneer state home agents, be ginning her work in 1911, to pro mote girls' tomato clubs. The idea was based on the successful boys' corn clubs which had been organized by the Farmers Cooperative Demon stration Work. Mrs. McKimmon was able to get 14 counties organized in that first year and 230 farm girls planted one- tenth acre of tomatoes each and fill ed 35,000 cans. These pioneer coun ties were Alamance, Catawba, Edge combe, Gates, Granville, Guilford, Hertford, Madison, Mecklenburg, Moore, Pitt, Wake, Wayne and Wilkes. Each of these counties pot up $75 for a year's work, with the exception of Wayne which was will ing to risk only $50. The first agents were supposed to work only during the canning season but, as Mrs. McKimmon tells, they worked the whole summer, and have con tinued to work in that manner since that time. Tells Story Of Home Demonstration A human interest story of how home demonstration work overcame all early obstacles and grew to De one of the great educational move- j ments of the past quarter century is dramatically told in a new book writ- j ten by Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon and just released by the University of , North Carolina Press. The book bears the unassuming title of "When We're Green, We Grow" and in its 'Ah'i pages will be found incidents, hitherto unrevealed incumbent upon American citizens.
