We have commented several times on the significance to the South of Russia’s p!an s f< r largely 'ihcreas)pg that country’s cotton production. The Soviet program calls for nearly 6,000,- 000 acres planted to cotton tKii year, approximately double the acreag,, of 1030. Seventy-four hundred farm tractors and 120,000 tons of commer cial fertilizer have been purchased for use in making the largest crop in the history of cotton production in Russia. Nor will this be the end. Th e Soviet has embarked on a most ambitious industrialization program. Hundreds of thousand* of workers are being trained for industry. Textile manu factures are to have an important place in the progiam, and it is pro posed to grow at home the cotton which heretofore - Russia ha s bought from other cotton producing countries, including th t . United States. It is highly probable that a good deal pf cotton of the Russian crop of iMfll will he effered for sale to other cotton consuming countries, thus coming into direct competition with American cot- fietter Home$ Week April 26 to May 2 v During “thi g month two weeks in succeesion are being celebrated nation ally—the fir«t, April 19th to 25th be ing NaticnfaL Garden Week, and im mediately folkrvyjng, from April 26th to May 2ndt, being Better Homes Week.

The influence of beautiful home gardens cannot be gauged, but would be difficult to over estimate. Home gardens ar^- merely the neuclfei from which this garden beavity-. grows. National Garden Week should act a? a fresh impetus to beautify homes, cities, roads, schooja, churches, and public • institu tions. During this week let our aim "be to spread beauty all over the neigh borhood. Attractive gardens either in town or country, usually mean neat and well kept gibund* and buildings, 1 a family that is enjoying life, and a place where people couldn’t help being home loving. The surreundingk- of the country farm or home'might be termed-three outdoor rooms.’ The front yard, the living room, where oh a hot Sunday afternon or in the evening after the work is done, on e rests on the porch or under the trees. The vegetable garden is the dining room—for one leads up to the other, and the farm yard is the kitchen—the scene of a deal of one’s work. Without extravagant land-caping, and with the use of many of cui love ly native evergreens from the nearby woods, any warm home can be made “a..thing of beauty and a joy forever” at practically.no cost except time and labor. May this be a plea to the farmers, »s well as their wives, to begin TO- )AY to piah to beautify, and make attractive their outdoor rooms. And with attractive surroundings soon will follow Better Homes. Whitewash is cheap-and easily made. A good coat cf whitewash .on fences, barns, and outhouses will put new “pep” in any community, and’do away with that dejected appearance that looks as if spring fever 'had every home in its grip. An era of white- wa-hing throughout the State, coupl ed with a clean-up and paint-up cam paign, wherever possible, and a little transplanting of native shrubbery to the “outdoor looms,” would mean a TTeiir afld eTSfdtrraged rural South Carolina. Let us also' extend our efforts be yond the city limits to the highways. Schools also have no excuse to be without some planting. With proper care and understanding a school may become a very paradise of welcome. National Garden Week is a great Success if it enriches the count!yside. so as to bring back the 'original beau ty ou_r land. Better Homes Week offers an excel lent time to'?tag e a “Clean-up , and Paint-up Campaign.” There are thjs year in South Carolina 105 Better Homes Chairman for whites and 38 for colored people, working on pro; grams^of bettering home conditions in their respective communities. The Better Homes Movement is not intended to encourage the building of expensive homes’or the purchasing of expensive furni.-hing 3 or equipment. Quite the contrary, it is to encourage modest, well-kept homes and to in spire Worthy home life. .■ Remember the dates, April 19th- *25—National Garden Week,, and April 26-May 2nd,.
