Dropping Saturday Holiday
in South

Results so far achieved by the
Uncle Sam Saturday Service
League, organized among Negroes
Of the South by agricultural ex-
tension workers, indicate that the
old custom in the South Of observ-
ing Saturday or a part of it is a
holiday among farm workers soon
will be largely abandoned. Six
thousand active members in the
league were obtained from eigll
thousand registry cards distribut-
ed in Alabama. Resolutions indors-
ing the plan were adopted by the
Negro agricultural demonstration
agents of Oklahoma and by farm
ers and teachers attending a short
course of instruction at the colored
agricultural and mechanical uni
versity, Langston, Okla. The plan
is being tried in North Carolina,
Tennessee, and Texas, and reports
Of progress from these and other
sections in speeding up agricuI-
tural production in the South are
being received by the States Re-
lations Service, United States De-
partnlent Of Agriculture.

Making Nitrogen from Air

The largest experimental plant
in the United States for the manu-
facture of fixed nitrogen from the
air, with the exception Of the ones
now being constructed for the War
Department, is in operation at the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture Experiment Farm, Airing
ton, Va. At this plant the nitro
gen from the air is combined with
hydrogen to form ammonia which
can be used in the manufacture of
explosives and fertilizer. Expert
ments are now being conducted at
this plant by the Bureau of Soils
with a view to increase the effic-
iency of the process. The War De-
partment is cooperating in this
work. What is known as the Haber
process of nitrogen fixation is be-
ing used. This process involves
the production of ammonia from
hydrogen and nitrogen. The two
gases are mixed in the proper pro-
portions, put under high pressure,
subjected to intense heat and pass,
ed over spongy iron, whereupon a
portion Of the mixture combines to
form ammonia.

All Crops to be Saved in North
eastern States

The indications are that all
crops will be normally harvested
and saved" was the conclusion
reached at the Farm Labor Con-
ference held in New York June %
% by the United States Depart

specialists in the various eastern
States reported that people Of
towns and cities were responding
IN large numbers to the call for
help to assist farmers. Manufact-
urers have released a number of
employees who have had farm ex-
perlence for a period of from two
to four weeks to work in the har-
vest fields. Many women are as

Plans were completed at the con-

ducts this year.

Boy and girl club members in the
North and West are enlisting in a
sugar conservation program that

in helping to make good the sea-
sons supply. In addition to can

small proportion of it, members
are being taught to make sweet

Storage Houses to Save Sweet +.
Potatoes
Because about so per cent of the
sweet potato crop stored in pits
never reaches the consumer, the
construction of proper storage
houses is being urged upon the
farmers of the South by specialists
of the Bureau of Markets. Designs
for houses that will save this an
nual waste of millions of bushels
of potatoes are being furnished to
growers, and it is stated that the
sweet potatoes saved the first year
will pay for the cost of construct
ing these storage houses.

Teach Canning Without Sugar

TO encourage the saving of fruit
and vegetables at a time when the
supply of sugar is limited, a pro-
gram for canning without sugar is
being carried out this season by
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State agricul-
tural colleges through the bows
and girls clubs Of the SO Northern
and Western States. Fruits are put
up in boiling water instead of
slrup; unsweetened products are
canned for pie filling; fruits are
made into strip, which can be used
in many ways in place of sugar;
and fruit juices are also preserved
by sterilizing them to be used later
for making jellies, jams, and mar
malades. The juices are also for
seasoning in general cooking and
for making beverages. Sugar-beet
clubs have been organized among
the boys and girls in many local
tiles, and instructions are to be
gwen In the making and use of
homemade sugar-beet strip.
Plan for Poultry Increases
Further plans for carrying out
the increased poultry production
campaign were made at confer
ences called by the Poultry Divi-
sion in Kansas City, Omaha,
Chicago, New Orleans, and Los
Angeles. These conferences were
attended by the Departments ex-
tension poultrymen. Arrangements
were made to increase and encour-
age local poultry organizations and
Individual poultry producers

I'm case a storekeeper learns or
a customer going from one store
to another to make purchases OF
sugar, he should refuse further
