WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Resettlement Admins
tratons biggest job under the head of relief
not resettlement.
In program of rural rehabilitation covering about
100000 farmers the New Deal agency is making loans ag
gregating $94000000 and doing out emergency cash
grants of more than S15,000,000

Administrator Rexford G. Tug
we'll is fond of quoting the ex-
clamation of rehabilitation
client who was aided by such a
loan:
When you found me, I was
crawlin'. Now I'm walkin"
DR.. Tugwell says most of the
farmers who have been on relief
were there because they lacked
basic tools of production.
OBVIOUSLY, many of the re-
" Mobilization clients will be
pushed right back where they
were when DR.. Tugwell found
them. In many cases of default,
lenient policy will be required.
The balance sheet, from both
social and financial viewpoints,
won't begin to be visible for two
or three years.
Serious complaints have come
up from sections of the South
concerning alleged maladminis-
tration by some political Resettle-
ment officials representing the
plantation -owner class, in rela-
tons with tenant farmers and
share choppers. Resettlement says
the charges are exaggerated.
1t is clear, however, that neigh
bors sometimes are bitter when
man is really rehabilitated with
government aid and that this
phase nf human nature becomes
more serious when complicated by
racial feeling.
In the East there has been
some trouble with tight-flsted
local supervisors who consider it
sinful for a farmer to be broke.
Local administration, good or
bad, plays large part in the
success or failure of the RIA pro-
gram.
- ESETTLEMENT took over
IN from FCA the farm debt
adjustment program, with an adj
ministrative fund of 100000.
This program has permanent
personnel of 229 and a voluntary
force of 10000 members of state
and county farm debt adjustment
committees.
The object is to help debt
burdened farmers by bringing
debtor and creditor together and
making it easier on the debtor.
Lately this program has resulted
in more than 5000 debt adjust
ments month, with the monthly
amount of debt reduction about
$3,000,000
Still another phase of Resettle-
ment's wrok is its loans to and
supervision of co-operatives.
On subsistence homesteads, six
loans of from $250,000 to $550,000
have been made to cooperative
agricultural producing aSsocia-
tions. Purposes must be of self
liquidating character, such as
farm operations, greenhouses,
trading-posts, poultry and hog
projects, and dairy farms.
Loans are made sometimes to
individuals, as in the case of buy
ing a pure-bred bull for commu-
nifty use.

Resettlement officials say they

Proper Precautions Pay
Extra Dividends This
Time of Year
By c. F. PARRISH
Extension Poultryman,
North Carolina State College.

A common practice among some
poultrymen in North Carolina is
to sell all of their laying birds or
either let them care for themselves
during the hot summer months.
Such practices are wrong. Neg
lecting the flock or selling the
laying birds during this season of
the year is false economy" and
deprives many farmers OF addl-
tional revenue.
However, it is essential that
birds be kept comfortable, fed
properly, culled regularly, provid-
ed with shade, and given fresh,
clean water.
To secure the maximum produc-
ton of eggs during the four sum-
mer months, it is just as neces-
sary to keep the birds cool as 1T IS
to keep them warm during the
winter. This means that the lay
ing house should be of such con-
struction as to provide plenty OF
fresh air at all times. 1t is also
highly desirable that the house
permit close ventilation during
this season. AS an aid in provid-
ing comfort for the birds, it is
suggested that the spaces between
the rafters in the back OF the
house be opened. The windows
under the dropping boards may be
opened during the day. Where
laying houses are of such con-
struction that the above sugges-
tions cannot be followed, then one
or two boards on the north side
of the house may be removed,
provided the removal of these
planks does not permit a draft d.
rectly on the birds.
Birds on free range without
adequate shade should be provid-
ed with artificial shade. This can
be done by building a scatfold
similar to that used for grape
vines and covering this over with
brush or torn sacks. Artificial
shade may also be provided by
seeding the ground around the
laying house very heavily to sun
flowers.
FEED MASH
The successful poultryman re-
ceiveG his greatest returns from
feeding for continued egg produc-
ton rather than in seasonal egg
production. During the warm
weather when some poultrymen
give their flock a free range, the
consumption of mash is material
ly decreased and since mash is
the egg builder, corresponding
decrease in egg production re-
suits. Mash consumption must be
encouraged at this season if the
grower is to obtain the greatest
number of eggs. One of the best
ways to encourage greater mash
consumption is by feeding cool,
moist mash at noon each day. This
may be done by taking the regu-
lar laying mash and mixing it
with water or milk. The usual
amount fed each day to 100 birds,
is three pounds of dry mash mixed
with either water or milk.
Normally, about 25 pounds of
feed are required to feed hen
during the four summer months.
Of this amount, II pounds are
grain and IA pounds mash. On
the assumed price of $3.50 per
hundred for mash, and $500 a

Suggestions Given For The Curing
OF Hay By States Specialist

loose, narrow windrow in which
the hav dries relatively fast and
tends to preserve the leaves and
green color of the hay. If, how
ever. a side-delivery rake is not
available a dump rake will suf-
flee. When a dump rake is used
small wind-rowS should be made
because the hay will cure more
RAPIDLY in small windows than
in large ones, thus Fastening the
curing and decreasing the risk OF
the hay being damaged by rain.
Turn the windows once only,
that is, three to four hours before
the hay is to be taken in unless
the hay has been rained upon aft
er being placed in the windrow.
After curing in the windrow is
completed the hay should be stor-
ed loose in the barn or under a
shed.
1t does not appear to be gen
orally advisable to attempt to bale
hay out of the windows In the
southern states because of heavy
dews and relatively heavy rain
fall during the haymaking season;
The tripod or pole method of
curing hay may be used to good
advantage in those sections Of
the south where rainfall is rela-
lively heavy. The hay should be
cured in the swatch and windrow
as far as practicable before being
placed around the tripod OF pole,
but stacking in this manner should
not be delayed when it is threat
ening rain. Usually the equlva-
lent of 10000 pounds of field
cured hay is the amount that may
be placed on tripod or pole
without unduly delaying the cur
ing. If too much hay is placed
on the tripod or pole it is liable
to mold before it is thoroughly
cured, especially during periods
of rainy weather. The sides OF
the stacks should be raked down
so they are smooth and the top
capped with grass or other suit
able material so that damage
from rain will be minimized. AS
soon as the hay is properly cured,
store it in the barn or under a
shed to preserve the quality.
Rather than have hay get wet
from rain after it is partially cur
ed it is usually desirable to stack
it under a shed or in the open in
an undercured condition so as to
make brown hay. Hay cured in
this manner may lose its green
color from fermentation. Such
damage, however, is not nearly as
Objectionable as rain damage un-
less the hay is put up too green
and becomes musty and moldy, or
spontaneous combustion occurs.

RY the first of July most of the
- boys and girls from prep
school and college are at home,
ready to entertain the crowd and
be entertained in turn by the
other young people.
First and foremost, it's neces-
Sary to have on hand a supply of
certain foods in order to be ready
for emergencies at any hour of
the day or evening. Boys and
girls in their teens always are
hungry, and, anyway, it's fun to
raid the pantry and ice-box and
set out an informal repast.
Keep on hand supply of SUI
gar syrup so that cold drinks can
be made quickly. To make this,
cook two parts of sugar with one
part of water until syrupy.
Keep Supplies on Hand
Always have ginger ale in the
refrigerator. 1t can be used with
fruit juices for cold drinks or
combined with ice cream to make
a more substantial cooler.
Chilled watermelon is a treat
on a hot evening and needs no
accompaniment.
Bottled fruit juices, such as
ioganberry, grape, pineapple and
lime, are reliable standbys.
Sandwich spreads, crackers.
cookies, plain and stuffed olives
ripe olives, cheeses in variety
several kinds of canned fish for
sandwiches and salads, potato
chips, marmalade and preserves
offer a good selection of foods for
the pantry.
Two or three kinds of bread
pumpernickel, whole wheat and
white-are desirable in the bread
box, too. With the crackers for
appetizers and various breads for
sandwiches, your young peopIe
will be well supplied.
Tiny appetizers, made on o
cracker foundation, and onen-
faced sandwiches are easy to
make and attractive to serve.
