T.. T.. {. Called Essential
To Complete Conservation

By the Associated Press.
FERNANDINA, Fla, Nov. 16-
James J. McEntee, director of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, de-
clared today the Government should
continue the life Of the c. c. c. until
the great conservation job" Is nm
ished.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry at the dedication of Fort Clinch
State Park, he asserted:
Before the coming of the c. c. c.,
there was not enough man power for
conservation work to justify any
great expenditure of Federal and
State dollars for this purpose. In
my opinion the corps of some agency
which deals with human conserva-
ton of natural resources must be
continued if the great conservation
job which has been so well started
Is to be continued until completed" "
He recalled that in a recent Phil
adelphia speech President Roosevelt
stated his intention to continue and
expand the C. c. c.
He declared this agency had con-
structed 114,O00 miles of road, built
a 1000 bridges, planted more than
two billion trees and built five-and-
a-half million dams to check soil
erosion.

with at least 5000 of the country's crack shots slated to compete in pistol, small-bore and 30-caliber rifle events.
 During the period from Septem- Der to September 21, about l. 00O.000 rounds of 30-caliber ammu- milton will be fired through govern ment-issued rifles, including the Springfield and the new Garand, officially designated as the Mi semi-automatic which soon will be the basic arm of the U.

The new eight-shot rifle will appear in two matches programmed for that arm alone, both events being at 300 yards.

two major 30-caliber events, ir which 12-man civilian and l2- man National Guard teams from each state, possession and service branch will compete.
 The infantry team won the squad event for the second straight year in 1889, while Sergt. Coats Brown, 23-year- -old infantryman from Fort Mcclellan, Ala, beat out field of 2,027 for individual laurels.
 For several years prior to that the Marines were the top-notchers, and last fall the Devil Dog squad of eight rammed 160 straight shots into the "" ring at 1000 yards for the first perfect score ever fired in the historic Herrick match.
 While the races between the service teams in the 30-caliber events attract most of the specta- tor interest at Perry, the most seething activity is on the small bore and pistol ranges. Hundreds of the nations best Small-bore marksmen squirt" the little 22's all day long in series of events leading to the grand aggregate championship, while on the pistol range the boys usually fire to de- termine who will finish second to Detroits national champion po- lice team led by Al Hemming, the Nations No. 1 hand gun artist for 1939.
 It's On Uncle Sam
 The competitors, service man and civilian alike, live in Army tents, sleep between Army blan- kets on Army cots, fire service ammunition in service guns, and eat Army food. The cost is nomi- nal for the competitors, for they can enter one match at a cost of 50 cents and then draw practice ammunition, sleeping quarters and equipment, a service rifle and two weeks of Lake Erie air at no fur ther cost except meals.
 Expenses of the 12-man Ma ticnal Guard and civilian teams from each state, and the squads from the service branches, are paid from the national match funds while the National Rifle Association foots the bill for its regional pistol and small bore champions.
 It's a great place to spend a va cation, at little cost, but it's no holiday for the shooters To them, placing a bullet in a bulleseye is a science and they work pretty hard at it. Considering the trajec- tories, mirages, windage and other mysteries Of the game. they do a good job

It's Open Season On Garden
Planting.

Gardens can be planted now in al
mOSt every section of the state with
out fear Of late frost damage. There
is, therefore, little excuse for any
farm family failing to plant a gar
den now. 1t is almost imperative that
we grow something TO eat this year
to offset an inevitable decline in in
come from tobacco.
The vegetable garden will be worth
far more to the farm family than the
acre of tobacco given up in the con-
t!ol program. The vegetables which
can be grown on an acre Of garden
land would cost the housewife $3.50
if bought at retail prices. This COM
pareS with the average acre value
Of tobacco Of about Sl3500, and an
acre value for cotton of $500 and
corn $1,000.
Last summer vegetable trucks
toured the farm areas of some east
ern Carolina counties and sold fresh
vegetables to tobacco farmers. 1t
takes 3 acres Of tobacco, - acres OF
Gotten. or % l-2 acres OF corn to buy
the vegetables that one-acre gar
den will produce.

A homemade lamp brooder that
will accommodate from 30 to 90
chicks can be constructed for as little
as $500 to $50 It is OF simple de-
sign, easy 10 operate, and is heated
by one to three lamps. depending
upon the severity of the weather.
Plans for building homemade
lamp brooder may be obtained from
your. county or home agents.
The lamp brooder is intended for
operation in protected place. such
as under a wood shed or wagon shed,
preferably where the wind will not
blow directly on the brooder, yet the
sun will shine directly on the sun
porch attached. -.
The brOoder is constructed in two
parts. The bottom section houses the
lamps; the top section accommodates
the chicks. The tray that separates
the two sections is covered with 26
or % gauge tin The tin side.is placed.
downward, next to the flame OF the
lamp, and the top part Of the':tray
is covered with an inch or more OF
sharp, coarse, dry sand. The chimney
of the lamp should be one to one and
one-half inches below the metal tray
which divides the top and bottom
section.
The tray should be kept coz eyed
with sand at all times. This acts not
only as conductor Of heat. but also
as 4 litter. 1t should be kept clean

A sun porch is attached, and after
the first few days the chicks may be
allowed to run on it in mild weather.
The roof, or top of the broOder may
