Third Better-Homes Drive to
Start During Week of May Ii

The third great national campaign
for better homes in America will be
held this year earlier than ever bel
fore-during the week Of May IL t6
is. This is the third year of this
movement, which originated from {.
thought expressed by the late Pres
ideEt Harding in a speech delivered at
Akron, Ohio, in 1921.
The central organization, which is
completely divorced from all COM
mercialism, has Herbert Hoover, Sec
retary of Commerce, as its president.

of absence to DR.. James Ford. au-
thority on housing and community or
ganization in order that he can con-
duct the nation wide demonstrations
for the development of home life in
America during 1924. Headquarters have
been moved from New York to Wash
ington, at 1853 Pennsylvania avenue.
Aims of Movement.
The aims of better homes in Amer
lea may be summed up briefly as fol-
lows: To show the advantages of
thrift for home ownership, to over
come the shortage of homes in this
country estimated at SGu.00v: 10

attractive. to assist and encourage
home makers-92 per cent of the
housewives of America do their own
housework-to improve the home en-

physical and moral development of

chasing for home Improvement. and
to mobilize community pride for Il
common objsct-pride OF home.

statement that "a hundred years from

Success at Port Huron.
The phenomenal success of the
high school students of Port Huron
last year completely won over the
educational authorities there who
have voted to put a model house on
the high school campus for conduct
ing courses in home management and
economics. These school authorities
take the view that such education is
of far greater and more lasting value
than many of the academic and
scientific courses prescribed for high
school girls today. They know that
for every girl who takes up chemis-
try, for instance, as a life work there

More than IS per cent Of the United
States corn crop is fed to livestock
and somewhat less than 10 per cent is
used for human food, according to
recent data compiled by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The hog is
the largest consumer, 40 per cent be-
ing fed to swine on farms. Horses
and cattle are next, using 20 and Is
per cent, respectively. The exports
of corn, as grain, have never been

"Better Seed-Better Crops" is the
title of a new United States Depart
ment of Agriculture motion picture
which tells the story of "crop-im-
provement" work as it is being car
ried on in various states through the
medium of certified seed. The film
was made in cooperation with the
Michigan Agricultural College.
The pictures tell the story of Bill
Taylor, who found the growing of
poor wheat Improbable and couldn't
understand how some of his neigh
bors could produce bumper crops
while his hardly paid the cost of
planting. Bill made some inquiries
and was told about the crop-improve-
ment work.
The scenes carry the audience to
the State experiment farm where is
shown the actual working out of the
certified seed plan. Bill is told how
the seed is handled and in the end
he climbs on the band wagon and
sows his acres with certified seed.
"Better Seed-Better Crops" is in
one reel. 1t may be borrowed for
short periods from the department, or
prints may be be bought by authoriz-
ed purchasers at the manufacturing
charge.
Starting with Is hens and roost-
ers, a 12-year-old poultryman in
Washington county, r. l., Norman
Lewis has developed profitabel
business. He began IN the spring of
1922 by joining the poultry club which
the agricultural extension worker
was organizing in his community.
That year he Matched and fed 113
sbroilers so that they were ready to
sell while the market price was high.
He kept rs of the best pullets as a
foundation flock for the next season.
Norman found his work so interest
ing that he studied more about poul-
try at the club members State camp
and short course in 1923. Here he
learned to caponize and this season
developed good market for his ca
pons. An important part of his club
work is the keeping Of records of all
expenditures and receipts. Recently
he finished his 1928 accounts and, &C
cording to reports to the us. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, finds that he
paid out $40 and received 1919, leav-
ing him 1927 for his years work.

Public school teachers Of Delaware
will be asked to take an active part
in the crusade against drugs, accord
ing to letters mailed Saturday by the
State Board of Education.
Reports that drugs were being Civ
en- school children in various parts of
the State are believed to have prompt
ed the State Board Of Education to
adopt resolutions arraigning peddlers
of "dope" at it's last regular meeting,
Copies of these resolutions were in
closed with the letters.
Means of detecting the drug habit
in children were outlined in the let
ters. Methods employed by dope
reddlers were carefully explained.
Teachers are asked 10 instruct chill
dren so that they can guard them
selves from becoming victims of the
habit.
"a program of education on the
terrible effects of dope is one of the
best ways to safeguard our young
boys and girls" one school teacher
said. ave want the teachers to pro-
vide suitable training and information
in order that the children of this
State will not become involved in the
traffic of narcotic drugs"
Various means are employed in
forcing the drug habit upon children,
it is said. Strangers offer them can
dy containing the narcotics, increas-
ing the quantity from time to time.
BY the time the child is fully grown
the habit is fully formed.
In other instances they are more
open in their deadly work, giving the
child the drug and calling attention
to the accompanying pleasant sensa-
tons.
Boards of education, school superin-
tendents and all persons in school
work in Delaware will be enlisted in
the campaign, it was pointed out.
Parents interested in the work of
the State Board of Education may
have copies of the resolutions by COM
