Handicrafts, Long Dying Art, Coming Back Strong In Mountains RALEIGH ? Handicrafts, which i not so many years ago were con sidered a dying art in North Car -"ilina, are coming oack stfong. The rebirth of the old arts is specially significant in the Blue idge and Great Smoky Mount llns of Western North Carolina. In shops and homes along busy highways, and in cabins far back In mountain caves, nimble fing ers of hundreds of craftsmen ply.

Quality and production of Nor th Carolina handicrafts have grown steadily .within the past generation through the efforts of individuals who became alarmed at the increasing neglect of the native skills of pioneer days once so necessary to existence and always a potential source of extra Income to families living on small farms. Organizations such as the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild, the Penland School of Handicrafts at Penland, the Huck letoerry Mountain Workshop Camp . near Hendersonville, the John C. Campbell Folk School at Brasstown, and the Crossnore School at Crossnore have done much to stimulate production and raise the quality of handi crafted articles.

We do. It's so very true. Ten doll ars a month, saved here, grows to $1000 in less than eight years. Just think what you could do with $1000. Better open an account next pay day and get started.

Patterson, Sec.-Treas. profit association with head quarters at Ashevllle, has a num toes of centers in the mount ains where handicrafts are dem onstrated and articles sold. To qualify for Guild membership., a craftsman must meet rigid standards. The Guild has contributed much to revitalization of crafts through its annual Craftmari's Fair of the Southern Highlands, a summer exposition at which artisans demonstrate their skill and show the finest examples of their work. The 1952 Fairthefifth will .be held at Ashevllle July 21-25.

The Huckle berry Mountain Workshop Camp also gives handicraft instruction Probably the most widely practiced of the handicrafts ia weaving done both on modern looms and on crude, homemade Growers Warned On Fertilizer Use Many Tar Heel tobacco grow ers are now using mqre concen trated forms of fertilizer than in the past. For this reason, they need to be especially careful about how this fertilizer is ap plied. Roy R, Bennett, tobacco spec ialist for State College Exten sion Service, says slow starting growth and poor stands in tobac co often are due to fertilizer in jury, especially in dry weather. To prevent such injury,- growers should use two-band placement equipment when available, or else place the fertilizer at con siderable depth in the row. Tests conducted in 1951 indi cate that fertilizer placed at depths of six, eight, and 10 inches is efficiently utilized by looms which have been in the same families for generations. Woolen coverlets are one of the most popular products. Blankets draperies, table covers, lunch eon sets, shawls and scarves, baby robes, handbags, and many kinds of cloth known for fine workmanship and dyes come from the mountain looms. Other of the more popular handicrafted articles include hooked rugs and mats, wood carving, pottery, wrought iron and other metal work, jewelry, basketry, leather work, and silk screening. The emphasis is on native materials and design. Coverlet patterns such as "Saint Anne's Robe", "Boney Part's March", and "Whig Rose", along with many others, have been] handed down through generat ions. Although to members of the craftsmen their work is only part time, and actually done more for pleasure than for profit, it nevertheless means a welcome and sizeable addition to familj income. A sjurvey last year showed Norrh Carolina's Handi craft Guild members alone re ceive about $300,000 annually for their products. It makes you comfbrtable all over Buick engineers have a habit of get ting at the bottom of things. So they're not content to stop with put ting beneath you cushions that are luxuriously soft and deep. They also put big, soft, deep coil springs between you and all four wheels ? and big, soft tires between the wheels and the road. But real riding comfort calls for more than cushioning up-and-down jolts and jar?? , . There's end-sway and side-roll and "wander " to be controlled. There's sure footed balancc on curves. Not to men tion the importance of having a frame stout and husky enough to make the whole car feel safely solid. So Buick engineers have gone through the list?come tip with a ride that cost a cool million dollars and more for special engineering, tooling and components. Docs that cover Buick's comfort story? It certainly does not. There's the comfort of driving a car that instinctively holds the road ? the com fort of ample room and a wide-open view of the world around you? the com fort of fabric colors that please the eye and fabric textures that please the touch ?and the effortless smoothness of Dynaflow Drive.* Then there's the mental comfort of boss ing power mighty enough to meet any demand you make upon it in emergency ? 8-cylinder power ? high-compression power? valve-in-head power? Fireball power, that makes you proud of the miles you get from a gallon of gas. And maybe you'll also find comfort in knowing that this great automobile can be yours at a price that is still just a small step above what's known as "the low priced three." On top of all this, driving a Buick's a barrel of fan. Why not drop in tomorrow and ask us to prove it? Equipment, cu*<#Mort>*. trim and model* or# tubj+ct to rkange u rith*<mt notie*.

ANSEWH: Senile jar of honey in a saucepan ot water about as hot as your hand can stand, at\d leave it until all the honey has become liquified again. Most types of hondy will gradulate or "go to sugar" occasionally. This is nothing to worry albout, for honey is made up of two sugars, one which will crystallize readily. Incidentally, honey is an easily the. tobacco plant. Fertilizer plac ed in this manner should be cov ered with the equivalent of two furrows with a one-horse! turning plow*. Even with recommended rates* of fertilizer, all two-band place ment equipment available shduld be used to the fullest ex tent possible. Growers Who use more than the recommended rates, especially of the more con centrated 4-8-10. should be parti cularly careful about the method of placement. They should use two-band placement distributors, bury the fertilizer to considera ble depth, or use a split applica tion. digested food. It's particularly good for growing children and older persons suffering from di gestive troubles and heart ail- j ments. Eve/i in Biblical times. King Solomon said : "My son, eat | thou honey, for it is good.'* This j delicious food Is still available | today,( in the same form as in i Solomon's time. QUESTION: Can beef cattle be bred artificially. as is now done with daily cattle? ANSWER: Yes. Artificial breed- j ing of cows Is now being carried ! on in several counties of North Carolina. Aberdeen- Angus semen is shipped to Asheville every oth er day from a stud in Indiana. Be cause of the record keeping, how* ever; an artificially bred Angus calf will not be accepted for regi- ? stry. Another -disadvantage is that the animals must be watched closely and must be broken at hal ter. Rut breeding specialist be lieve* that. ;ts with dairy farmers, artificial insemination o f I ers great possibilities' for small beef producers in the State. Some G 12 million farm if ami-, lies were reached in '1950 by the Cooperative Kxtension Sen- ice program conducted by the U. S. Depart mcjnt of Agriculture, the land-grant college in the various' states, and local Counties. PROTECT YOUR CLOTHES . . . by having them cleaned regularly at . . .
