Edwards, Red Cross home service
chairman for this division. Mrs. Ed
wards made an informative talk, ex
plaining the field of work of the Red
Cross and Welfare department, and
stressed the importance of the two
agencies working together and with
out over-lapping in dealing with the
problems with which they are con
fronted.
Miss Ruth Bradley of Greenville,
district supervisor for several Coun
ties in this area, including Laurens,
gave a detailed outline of the Public
Welfare program and explained the
law pertaining to its activities and
limitations in administering to needy
cases.
Following the talks there was »
general round table discussion in
which Red Cross and relief work in
the county was discussed. L. E.
Bishop of this city, a member of the
county welfare board, ^ spoke of its
Standard List Of
Vegetables For Gardens
In This Section *
It is always a temptation for gar
deners and commercial growers to
plant some of the many new varie
ties and strains of vegetables which
are offered each year instead of the
old standard varieties, agricultural
agents say.
The practical thing to do they, point
out, is to use only standard varieties.
The following varieties from actual
tests in this state, have proved to be
adapted to conditions in this section.
In the following tables are listed the
standard varieties, together with
some of the newer ones which are
recommended for planting:
Asparagus: Mary Washington v
Snap bean (bush): Stringless Black
Valentine, Tendergreen, Sure Crop
Wax (wax variety).
Lima bean: Henderson Bush, Caro
lina Sieve (pole).
Beet: Early Wonder, Detroit Dark
Red.
Broccoli: Italian Green Sprouting.
Cabbage: Charleston Wakefield,
Marion Market.
Carrot: Imperator. #
Sweet corn: Golden Cross Bantam.
Cucumber: A and C, Colorado.
Muskmekm: Hale’s Best Imperial
45, Seed Breeders.
Watermelon: Stone Mountain, Tom
Watson, Kleckly Sweet, Dixie Queen.
English peas: Hundredfold, Lax-
ton’s Progress.
Pepper: California Wonder.
Spinach: Long Standing Blooms-

Tomato: Marglobe, Pritchard, Rut

Turnip: Purple Top Globe.

would make it impossible for farm
workers to seek more lucrative jobs
in industry. It also seems likely that
legislation may be^ written to freeze
union wages and thus end the fast
spreading demands for new wage in
creases which are being made by the
American Federation of Labor, the
CIO and the mine workers under
John L. Lewis.
There is no doubt that congress is
alarmed over the assaults upon the
present wage structure being made
by the unions and is in no mood to
permit the granting of the increases
which are being demanded. If the ad
ministration permits the coal miners
the $2 per day increase they are
seeking, or if the miners carry out
the threat of a strike, congress will
be deluged with legislation to clamp
down on labor. It is also likely that
control legislation setting wages for
the duration of the war will be put
through if the National War Labor
board gives in to the demands for the
scrapping of its Little Steel formula
under which it has permitted cost-of-
fiving increases up to 15 per cent
above what wages were at the begin
ning of 1941.
