to fill the gap. No one knows exactly
just how many homes are needed. ALL
sorts of experts have tried to accurate
ly fix the shortage and have publish
ed many widely varying figures, but
the truth of the matter is that no
body knows The shortage of homes
depends upon demand, and the de-
mand in turn depends upon the eco
nomic condition of the people When
employment is steady or conditions
improving people are no longer salts
fled to live cooped up under the same
conditions as when employment is un-
certain. So the shortage Of homes
rises and falls with changes in busi-
ness conditions as we'll as with actual
increases in population.
added to this factor is the ques-
ton of costs. During the early part
of the past year many new homes
were being built and new ones plan
ned. Unfortunately, building costs took
a decided upturn. and this increased
expense caused many people to post
pone starting construction, causing a
building slump. Building materials
have declined in price in the past few
months, and interest in home building
is now increasing. More people are
planning to build now than at any
time within the past 10 months.
'There is no shortage of money for
financing on reasonable terms he
said. Despite the many plans,
schemes and ballyhoo the building and
loan associations of this section last
year financed by far the greatest part
of the new home construction, and
financed it under plans and terms
that were entirely satisfactory to home
builders.
"Romc building is now picking up
and this trend should continue unless
the cost of building again reaches the
point where the prospective builder
feels that it is too high

FARMERS SURGEDTO.
PLANT GOOD SEED
Weeks Campaign Aimed at
Stimulating Industry
and Employment

College Station, Raleigh, March o.
With spring planting season at hand
Dr. c. K. Middleton, of State College
! reminded farmers today Of the impor
tance of using only good seed.
North Carolina growers spent over
ten million dollars annually for seed
he pointed out, and the figure would
not be raised appreciably if none but
good seed was purchased.
Each year a large number of far
mers are troubled with wild onions
in their pastures, the result of their
economy in buying cheap seed. Had
they purchased seed of known quality.
the noxious weed would have been eli
minated largely.
AS result, the milk from cows on
these onion-infested pastures cannot
be used at home and it cannot be sold
on the market because of it's ocjec-
tionable flavor and odor.
Then, too DR.. Middleton explained
inferior seed do not produce the
yields and quality that are inherent
in good seed.
The seed must be adapted to tn.
soil and climate for best yields.
The breeding should be true to
known origin.
The seed should be well-matured, in
good condition for termination, and
cared for properly.
The seed should be pure as to va
riety and free from mixture.
Noxious weed seed should not be
present.

nroved that the rapid-growing South
EN- slash pine is adaptable to the
manufacture of white paper as we'll

kraft.
Not since the migration to the
South of the textile industry has this
latest industrial development been
eoualled. But while the cotton tex
tile industry was introduced gradual
" over a period of years, March of
Time" points out that the paper in
dustrv has in the last two spectacu-
lar wears doubled the paper-making
capacity of the South from $500 tons
10 nearly 1000 tons each day. A years
output, statisticians say, could blanket
the State Of New Jersey in medium
weight wrapping paper.
Just short time ago about twenty
or twenty-five years, the North, in
Guiding Canada, was making practi-
ca!lv all the kraft paper for the con-
tinent of North America. BY 1884, the
production of kraft pulp and paper
in the United States had more than
doubled, with the South chiefly re-
sponsible.

house, converted into a laboratory,
Dr.. Herty worked steadily to perfect
his pine into paper process in spite
Of frequent disappointnents, and he
is seen in March of Time" winning
over many who were at first skepti-

Aided by grants from the Chemical
Foundation, the City of Savannah
and the Georgia legislature, from
1922 DR.. Herty carried on with re-
newed determination, resisting all
get-rich-quick applications of his
findings until he felt that his research
actually justified large-scale invest
ment.

numiber of Southern paper mills,
with their broadened scope of pro-
duction, the March of Time" describ-

exports have not risen with total i'm

In view of the relationship between
cotton exports and total imports, any

.HOYAS AND TERPS
FACE SLAB STARS
Budzyna Of Vermont, Dodd
Of Cornell to Oppose
SIugging Teams.

Two outstanding college pitchers
were expected to make it tough for
Georgetown and Maryland this after
noon as the former opened its season
against Vermont and the latter played
host to it's third foe in Cornell.
On the face of its showing against
the Terps just week ago today, Ver-
mont might not be considered an even
shot against the Hoyas, but the pres
ence of Bud Budzyna in the box was
expected to make a considerable diff
ference in the Vermonters' showing
Budzyna was the fellow who shut Out

81 victory over Virginia.
Hoyas and Terps Sluggers.
Maryland also faced an apparent
tartar in Worth Dodd, who last year
pitched no-hit seven-inning game
against Dartmouth.
Nevertheless, the 800 average which
seven of Georgetown's starting nine
carried into todayS opener from last
year and the .37l percentage which
Maryland has rung up in its first two
games this season were counted upon
as more than sufficient rebuttals to
whatever pitching might be sent
against them.
Leading G. u in its inaugural was
Capt. Johnny Cavadine, the smart
and trim third baseman who last year
hung up .423 average in II games.
Creditable as was that figure, it did
not top the Hoyas' individual per-
centages, for Harry Basin finished
with the remarkable batting mark of
.526. Indeed, Centerfielder Tommy
Nolan was the only man who did not
finish we'll over the $50 mark, the
little lead-on hitter finishing the 1887
campaign with .295.
Mike Petroskey was to open fire for
the Hoyas, while Charley Weidinger
may become the first Marylander to
hurl full game for the Terps this
season.
