INTEREST SHOWN
IN HOME GARDENS
Play Important Part In Ac-
Invites Of Farm Women
Throughout State
BY SALLIE BROOKS
Assistant Extension Nutriti0nist
N. C. State College


From many counties in all parts
OF North Carolina came reports
of keen interest in home gardens.
This year, as in previous years,
seed and plant exchanges have
been held in every home demon
stration club in Lee County. Many
dollars worth of seeds, Seeding
vegetables, fruits, flowers and
shrubs have been exchanged. The
surplus plants in n community
have been taken by the home agent
to other communities, thus obtain
ing wide distribution over the
country.
Several years ago some 1000
strawberry plants were distributed
and this year the surplus plants
from these are going into other
home gardens. Many farm homes
are now for the first time growing
small fruits for home use and
some have a surplus for market.
The home demonstration club
women in Yancey county have a
campaign on for more and better
gardens. Each is growing at least
ore new vegetable. To increase
the variety of small fruits grown
at home. they are transplanting
their garden wild berry plants,
secured on the sides of Mount
Mitchell. By proper care and Gull
tivation they hope to have an abun-
dance of raspberries and black
berries growing at home.
Mrs. w. F. Hanson of the Mt.
Pleasant Club is the first home
demonstration club o a in
Rutherford County to qualify for
the Reading Certificate. Reading
in rural homes in increasing and
soon a number of other women will
be ready to qualify for certificates.
The travelling libraries sent out
from the county Library r ap-
preciated and used by the women
in all the clubs. The home agent
has provided each club woman
with a sheet for her notebook, on
which is listed requirements for
a reading certificate and also an
outline to guide her in giving the
book review at the club meetings.
Plant Broom Corn Seed
The women of Cherokee county
are planting broom corn seed. Mrs.
Donald Wilson of Andrews received
four bushels of seed which she is
giving to Home Demonstration Cub
women. They want to make their
own brooms and after they have
learned to make them we'll, they
plan to put some on the market

 From information in our pos session we believe that the main difference between the rates in Ketchikan and Juneau is because of the difference in the wat r systems.

Rumors of Soft Market Is Counfered by Talk
 of Shortage

SEATTLE, July. 22 = Renewed fears of a canned salmon shortage and sharply increased prices were declared reaching an acute stage today in Seattle as the government- curtailed fishing season neared it's finish in some sectors with con siderably less than normal catches.
 While packing was seriously re- tarded in other fields, including Puget Sound, some packers a md jobbers were warning their whole sale and retail customers against rumors of a soft market as they took stock of the situation.
 Together with the increase in requisitioning of canned salmon by the government in connection with the defense program, there was a rapidly waning carryover from last season.
 Can't Be Drafted
 Fifth columnists apparently are operating in the salmon market. It behooves buyers to be on guard. We have reports several markets of the trade are being informed the opening price on pink tails will be $1.25 per dozen. The size of the pink pack, almost 100 per cent of which is swimming some where in the Pacific, will determine the price. Please remember salmon cannot be drafted to run" Me- Govern and.

COMMUNICATION

The Editor Daily Alaska Empire, Juneau, Alaska. July 22-Dear Sir; |. The story in the Empire of Sat- urday, July 20, regarding a reduc- tion in fire insurance rates for Juneau, contained number of er- TOTS which should be corrected, not only for the sake of the record, but also because they give an en- tirely incorrect picture of insur- ance operations in Juneau.
 "An estimate was given that there . $10,0o0,OO0 insurance in force in the Juneau city limits. This is false. The assessed valua- tion of Juneau property in 1899 was less than $7,5O0,0O0, and of this amount an important percentage represents lot values. Taking into consideration that by far the ma jority of buildings and personal property items are not insured for full value, an estimate of the in- surance in force in Juneau would not exceed $5,OO0,000, and we be- lieve that it might be materially less than this figure.
 From the assumption that a five percent rate reduction would be granted, the person who wrote the story deduced that this would save $500,000 per year for Juneau resi- dents. The average rate in Juneau at present is probably less than two percent per year. At two percent, the premium, on $5,O09,000 of insur- ance would be $lO0,000. If the rate is reduced five percent, the savings would be five percent of $l0O,OO0 tthe premium figure, not five per cent of $50O0,O00, the insurance in force), or only 5000.
 There are several facts concern ing the proposed insurance reduc- ticn that the public should know. The first of these is that single test run of a fire department ve- hicle could not possibly have any effect on the insurance rate, be- cause it is of no importance as compared to the record of that fire department over period of many years. The Juneau Volunteer Fire. Department has an excellent record. The Board of Fire Under- writers of the Pacific the rate- making body for Alaska, is fully informed of the Juneau Depart ment,s record and does not need a test run to satisfy itself of the efficiency of the local firemen, which has been demonstrated to it for great many years.
 Of far more importance to Ju- neau for it's effect on possible fu- ture rate reductions was the acqui- sition of the new fire truck last May. When the new equipment ar rived, Board local agents secured all the data on the new truck and sent 1t to the Board engineers at. once, and asked whether it would be possible to secure a reduction in rates on account of the addition, to the fire fighting fleet, Inciden- tally, this was done long before the City Council or the, Mayor, made any such request. The agents, in writing, pointed out that Ket- chikan had recently received rate. reduction, and they felt that Ju- neau might be entitled to the same rate as Ketchikan.
