COMMUNITY BuILpINc

The small town is dommed unless
the rural people take steps to save
it. Well, what OF it? Who cares?
Do not get cynical until you have
thought the matter over. You should
care, and here are some reasons:
The American farmers live unto
themselves as no other farmers do.
In Europe they build together and
form villages at the cross roads. They
go out to their farms small of course
to work but they spend the nights in
social groups. The automobile has
made distance a matter of time, not
of miles, in this country of ours. So,
our farmers can use the village and
town as community center if they
will, though it is not as convenient
to go five miles as five blocks and
tumble into bed after the gathering.
The consolidated school in the coun.
try can serve as community center
if the building is equipped with kit
chen and auditorium, gymnasium and
movie outfit These are essentials.
No other form of effort to organize
agriculture and to make it efficient
will reach it's full power unless in
every one of the $4,000 possible rural
communities we have the people work
ing together and thinking together
and talking together and planning to-
gether and acting together, for every
common purpose of their common
need and for a common contribution
to state, national and world welfare.
There is often the sharpest antagon
ism between people of the village and
people of the country. The farmers be
lieve that the village merchants ex-
plot them at every opportunity. There
is an odd notion among the merchants
that in some way the farmers owe
them a living. This antagonism shows
itself in lack of social intercourse, in
sharp political fights. Surely there is
a way toward cooperation, a real com
munity interest. Each can help the
other-Kenyon L. Butterfield
community is not just group OF
buildings. 1t is that territory with it's
inhabitants that have common inter
est in a trading or social center. The
well-balanced community has church
a school, and a oneness of purpose in
the people. Too many small towns
have more churches than they can
support. The people certainly would

Spring Cleanup Time
Observed by Everyone
SHOULD CLEAN UP WINTERS AC-
CUMULATION OF RUBBISH
AND KEEP 1T CLEAN

Streets, alleys, yards, fence and
building corners easements, attics,
closets area-ways, sheds and barns all
need a thorough spring cleaning
Gather all rubbish and useless things
and place them near the curb where.
city wagons can get the material con-
veniently
Section 927 p authorizes city coun-
ellis to remove rubbish at public ex-
pense. Where such action is taken,
publish a notice, that "all refuse, litter
trash and ashes piled conveniently
along the street or alley by April 80,
will be hauled away free. Wagons will
be sent around for the purpose on the
following morning. You must be ready
if you want this free service"
Even if your town does not give this
service do not tolerate fire and disease
breeding rubbish, but make the first
week of May a real Clean Up Week.
It is hoped that Mayors and Village
Presidents will issue formal proclama-
ton of such a week.
Everybody has duty to perform in
this matter, the householder, shop
keeper factory manager and all other
owners and occupants of property.
Women's organizations, commercial
clubs and other civic organizations
should lead in this movement to the
end of making their respective cities
cleaner, safer, healthful and beautiful
School children and boy scouts
make good cleanup squads for parks,
school grounds and public buildings.
A special inspection of school build
ings and other public buildings should
be made by fire department members
and health officers during this week.
Much was accomplished in past
years during such cleanup movements
but we can do still better Then make
every day clean-up-day.
There are also other things which
need your attention, repairing and
cleaning chimneys, replacing dried
out, moss grown shingles with incom-
bustible roof covering, replacing rusty
stove pipes, closing up needless open
ings in walls to prevent sparks from
entering, overhauling poor electric
wiring etc.
Paint and whitewash both mean bet
ter health and greater freedom from
fire.
Caution must be observed in build
ing rubbish fires too near buildings.
on windy day, or letting children
play with the fire, as girls clothes,
particularly ignite quite easily. Such
fires should be attended by adults and
put out at night.
While securing greater safety thru
this cleanup work, you will also de-
rive pleasure and satisfaction from
clean and beautified surroundings.
Have you started this movement, If
not, begin today.-Industrial Com
mission.

These results have a definite bearing
on the method of flock feeding where
eggs are produced that are intended
for Matching purposes. In late winter
and early spring care must be taken
to see that the ration used with the
laying hen is sufficiently rich in this
vitamine if a maximum production Of
hatchable eggs is to be secured.
Many successful poultry keepers be-
lieve that their hens should rest dur
ing the winter if they are to produce
the best Matching eggs in the spring
They believe that market eggs should
be produced by the pullets and only
eggs from older hens incubated The
low hatchability produced by white
corn and casein or white corn and
skim milk rations was more pronounc
ed during the latter part of the hatch.
ing season. This seems to show that
to certain extent at least a hen
stores the vitamines in her body and
gradually lays out her store unless it
is replenished by the ration. For sew
eral years careful records have been
kept of the viability of the eggs from
different hens, and frequently hens
that laid most during the winter pro-
duced the highest percentage of Wig
orous. chicks. This seems to indicate
that vigorous hens if mated to vigor
GUS males and provided with rations
sufficiently high in vitamne content
should produce high priced market
eggs during the winter and good hatch
ing eggs in the spring.

Successful Experiment
in Community Farming
COMMUNITY BUILDER TRANS
FORMS WASTE INTO GARDEN
OF PEACE AND PLENTY

Two years ago Cave Springs was
but post office set in the pine for
ests of the Sabine Bottoms of East
Texas. A narrow, deep-rutted road
wandered ainlessly up to it. Occasion
ally the road paused at stumpy
clearing surrounding squalid negro
cabin. A scraggly crop of peanuts and
garden truck marked the industry of
the place.
That was two years ago.Today a
dozen modern bungalows face a sixty
foot graded road, and back of each
bungalow lies productive 100 acre
farm. Here in the Sabine Bottoms is
the largest community farm in Amer
ica
1t was Mrs. W. C.. Martin who
brought about the transformation
Community Builder of the South"
is what they call her down there. Ger
tainly her work in developing the Sa-
bine Bottoms community and other
communities since then has earned
that title for her.
Mrs. Martin is no impractical
dreamer. She is q farmer. She per
sonally ran 5000 acre ranch in Bo
que County, Texas, to such good eff
feet that in three years it paid a pro
fit of $4,000 Four years ago the com

mind. For two years it was just
paper plan. Then came the opportuni-
ty to put it into effect on 1900 acre
tract in the Sabine Bottoms.
First of all the land was laid out
in 1O0-ac tracts. A sixty-foot graded
road was run through the center. On
each side of this road six Groom bun
galows were built. Not plain square
box buildings are these, but attractive
modern houses with porches, fire
places, window seats and coy corners
Back of the long front porch are four
large rooms. A central chimney makes
possible fireplace in each of these
rooms. The kitchens and sleeping
room are back of these rooms.
Careful planning is evidenced by the
covered well on the back porch, the
trough leading from it to the barn. the
blue grass in the yard, and the chick
en- tight fence.
Each house is set on square acre.
And each house is within easy haul
ing distance of its neighbor
The whole scheme is knit together
by several community projects. There
is community house, with reading
tables, books, soft and shaded lights.
Back Of the community house is com
munity laundry, and nearby is com
munity cannery, blacksmith shop
and a gargage. The purchase of
large cream separator is the latest
community enterprise.
Most of the tenants are buying
their farms on longtime payment
plan. In so doing they have new in
centiye for pushing developments, and
at the same time the landowner is
insured per cent on his investment.
The success of the plan has given
Mrs. Martin a vision of all rural Amer
lea made over into a great community
farm-the dwelling place of prospect
ty and happiness. She has been made
chairman Of the Home and Community
Development of the American Farm
Bureau Federation and through this
department will build her vision into
reality. BY Robert Fuller.

MORE WAYS THAN ONE

Four highly exhilarated chauffeurs
in an exhilarated taxicab chased a
lone frightened policeman all around
New York City. Finally he escaped by
running into a vestibule, from where
he fired several shots, forcing the taxi
to stop. The four prisoners were in
toxicated, and held in $500 bail each

MUSIC HATH CHARMS

Music hath charm to soothe the
savage beast and even a Judge, says
Oscar Taylor, colored, of New York
City. He was arrested on charge of
dfsorderly conduct, and in his cell
whiled away the hours by singing
and strumming his banjo When he
appeared in court, Magistrate We'll,
complimented him on his singing and
suspended sentence.
