ing of tn ework in the horticultural
department at the State College of
Washington this spring will make it
one of the most inviting fields of
study for horticulture students in all
the United States, says Prof. o. M.
Morris, head of the department.
A student is now permitted to select
his major in his sophomore year, and
give the larger part of his time to
that, with wider range of elective
courses as well. He can take all the
fruit production and vegetable courses
and at the same time elect work
along other lines of agriculture, as
poultry for example, or plant diseases,
entomology, business administration,
or eduction.
Men we'll versed in production
lines and we'll qualified in other agri-
cultural work have the best oppor-
tunities in county, agent and general
extension SERVICE" says Prof. Morris.
Those well prepare din production
and plant pathology and in ento-
mology find their best opportunities
are in state and federal regulatory
and service work Those who have
specialized in production and bust
ness lines find openings in the COM
mercial side of horticulture, while
those who have combined business
education methods with the preduc-
ton courses can go into the Smith
Hughes teaching and similar oppor-
tunities.
Supplementary advanced courses
in plant physiology, chemistry, plant
pathology and entomology are given
for those preparing for college and ex-
pertinent station positions or for re-
search work with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture"
JUST PINS
1t takes vision to see gigantic in.
dustry and enormous profits in little
thing like a pin. Think what faith
and patience the man possessed who
started the first pin factory!
Today the annual production Of
safety pins alone exceeds 100000,
900; ordinary straight pins, of course,
must run much higher. And today it
takes no prophet to see the money in
this industry.
The Copper and Brass Research AS
ISOLATION tells you that the manufac-
ture of pen knives and safety pins
consumes in excess of 100000 pounds
of copper and it's alloys each year.
Estimates place the total output Of
knives at 100000 a year.
The way to get rich is to discover
something that the public can't do
without-and then start making it.

DEMAND FOR LABOR
SHOWS AN INCREASE
Skilled Help Most Sought at Pres
ent-Wage Tendency
Slightly Upward.

BALTIMORE. April 10.-A marked
increase in the demand for workers
was noted at the municipal labor
bureau during March. This is an in
diCation that predictions of the al
most total absorption of the unem-
ployed this year are likely to be
borne out.
The number OF men sought from
the agency by business and industrial
concerns during the month was about
one third more than during February
and there was a noted falling off in
the number of men registering for
jobs.
The demand for skilled labor shows
a more marked Improvement than
that for unskilled workers. This is
to be expected, Director McAllister
said. since the season is yet too early
for much activity on outdoor projects
that absorb most of the laborers.
Carpenters, bricklayers, black smiths,
steamfitters, automobile mechanics.
sheet metal workers. enamel work
ers, stenographers and clerks max q
up the classes of skilled workers
most in demand. Wages being offer
cd at present, according to Mr.. Nc
Allister, are practically the rates
that prevailed during the Winter,
with a slight tendency toward an
advance.

INCREASED POWER ASKED
BY DENVER STATION KOA
Plea for Jump to 1000 Watts to
Be o. KID by Commerce
Department.

The first application for increased
power received by the Department of
Commerce in more than "A month. ar
rived in Washington Thursday from
station kOA, Denver. KOA asked to
jump its power to 1000 watts This
permission. IT was said, will be
granted Immediately. The action of
the Denver plant is believed by de-
partment officials to be the first step
in general upward trend of power
during the summer months. In some
cases permission may be granted to
increase power in 1000-w watt strides
rather than the 500-wa steps
authorized during the Winter and
Spring. This probably will be done only
in the cases OF stations separated at
long distances from other class B
transmitters.
SO far only two broadcasters have
jumped their power as high as 1000
watts, with K0A making a third. 1t
is quite likely that before Fall some
of the class p stations will have in
creased their power to 5000 watts
or even higher.
According to the department Of
fcials, the Summer will afford an
excellent opportunity to learn more
of super power and it is believed that
much of the static interferences of
previous Summers will be overcome
through the use of increased strength
by the tranSmitters.
