AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS OF SOUTH
ARE FRONT LINE OF ATTACK ON FARM PROOLEMS
In the front line of attack on the
farm problems of the South are
the agricultural experiment sta
tions, maintained by each of the
Southern states. A part of the work
of these research organizations is
portrayed in the film "The New
South," now being shown by the
distributors of Arcadian Nitrate.
On the station grounds results
achieved by various ratios of plant
Food—nitrogen, available phospho-
lc acid, and potash—are compared
in accurate controlled plots. Plant
vigor ant. plant diseases are care
fully studied, and breeding experi
ments in cotton, tobacco and corn
varieties are carried on.
In their work to keep the land
young and to save it from wearing
away, the agricultural agencies con
duct endless tests, indoors and out,
on soil and moisture needs. Chemi
cal and biological laboratory re
search aims at insect and disease
control.
Every facility is provided for
maintenance and betterment of fer
tility. and all of this information is
distributed among those who till
the land so that it may yield them
better returns. It is the hope of
those in charge of the SUtions that
this Information service may be
greatly expanded until every South
ern farmer is reached. All are wel
come to call on these institutions
for advice and accurate informa
tion.
The company making “The New
Sonth" traveled to many uf the
experimental stations. The shots of
these in the finished picture dem
onstrate vividly the improvement
made possible in all types of crops
by the application of modern scien
tific knowledge to farming.
HOUSE
ana
O ld weather means extra care of
hands that are in and out of water
a dozen times a day.
Hands that wash dishes and pre
pare vegetables and dust and clean
require much more attention than
hands that are used only to “sew
a fine seam” so the housewife’s
hands need special attention. Treat
L>So a professional manicure
occasionally and in the meantime
observe a few simple precautions.
Keep a pair of loose canvas
gloves where you can slip into them
easily when you fix fires in furnace
and fireplace. Wear well-fitting rub
ber gloves for dusting as well as for
window washing and general scrub
bing. Ever so many women wear
rubber gloves for dish washing, too.
Keep a small bottle of hand lotion
near the kitchen sank and then use
it every time you finish washing
dishes or sudsing out lingerie.
Several nights a week work a good
nourishing cream into your hands
before going to bed. Slip a pair of
loose gloves oper your hands in ord
er to get the full benefit of the
cream.
Hands that chap easily should be
treated with a healing salve. The
salve will soften but will not whiten
your hands. Hence it will not take

the place of your hand lotions and
creams if you strive for white hands.
Before you have your next perma
nent be sure that your hair is in
good shape as to its texture. You
may need a course of scalp treat
ments at your beauty shop to correct
excessive dryness or oilyness. Per
haps a ten minute scalp massage
that you can give yourself on alter
nate nights will be beneficial.
It’s a good idea to inspect stored
roots, corns and bulbs frequently.
Any indication of mildew or decay
usually means that the place where
they are stored lacks ventilation.
Choose as warm and dry a day as
possible for ventilating Hie storage
places during cold weather. In other
words the temperature outside the
storage places should be uniform with
the inside.
House plants like fresh air, too,
but cannot endure extremes of tem
perature. They will do best in the
cooler parts of the house but should
not be left near the windows.
Mealy bugs are a common pest on
house plants and can usually be re
moved by touching each insect with
a swab of cotton dipped in alcohol
or one of the contact insecticides.
However if these pests have become
too numerous you may find it easier
and quicker to dip the whole top of
the plant into a weak solution of
vour contact insecticide.

This is a sitory of a man who got
a job when there wasn’t a job to be
had. If he were alive today, he
would be 87 years old.
Frank Winfield Wcolworth was a
fai"r. boy. He wanted to go to!
t'wn and get a job. So he got into 1
a ' u'yy r.t R dman. New Yokr, near
where he was born, and drove to Wat
erman. Nineteen years old, and this
was the first time he had ever been
away from home! But when he got
to Watertown, he found exactly the
same conditions that so many boys
and girls find today. No job.
From store to store he wnt. No
merchant wanted him, gawky, inex
perienced and “country” written all
over him. At last he had gone to
every store in town, and there was
no job. Did he go home just be
cause he had canvassed every store
in town? Not at all. But he was
determined to sell.
He heard there was a freight agent
in town who had a sort of grocery
store which he ran on the side. The
man would take care of the freight
that came in, then lock up his freight
house and go over and unlock his
grocery store.
Frank Woolworth asked him for
a job. The freight agent said he
couldn’t afford 'to pay him.
“I want to learn the business,”
Fi-ank Woolworth said. “I’ll work
for nothing.”
The man was astonished. Work
for nothing! But the gawky boy
seemed honest and reliable, so he told
him he might come. “Not one cent of
pay, though, mind you.” He gave
him pci-mission to sltep in the rear of
the store, and to help himself to the
cheese and chackers. Fine! Just
what he wanted. A job. A place
to sleep. Enough to eat.
Young Woolworth started in ear
nestly. He studied the business, learn
ing a bit every day. And then ex
actly four years later, when he was
23 years old, he got the idea Which
made him rich, and idea for a “five
cent store.” (He had not yet hit on
the idea of the larger figure.)
Finally he launched his first five
cent store, but it was a miserable
failure. It gasped for breath for
three months and then chocked and
died.
He got a backer and started a se
cond store. That failed.
The first four stores he started
failed.
But he wouldn’t give up. The next
one caught on. When he died, over
twenty years ago, he had more than
1,000 stores. The chances are that
he would never have had them if he
hadn’t taken the job without pay and
studied merchandising.
So if you can’t get a job, don’t be
discouraged. Don’t sit around doing
nothing, learning nothing. Why not
do as Woolworth did: Why not work
for nothing until you get experience?
Sooner or later, an opportunity will
be sure to come when you can put
your knowledge to work.
