Hellenic Ladies From He'll
 Unladylike Toward Italians
Greek Evzones Wear
 Skirts-And Battle
 Hike KiIted Scotch
BY MILTON BRONNER (NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Just as the Scotch regiments of the British army-called "T'he La- dies From Hell" by the Germans in the last World War-became favor ties, so these days the gallant Ev- zones of the Greek army, battling Mussolini's hordes in the mountains between Greece and Albania, are fascinating the American imagKa- tion.
 It is not only their preliminary successes against great odds that count, but also the way they look. Their costume is, if anything, more picturesque than that of the kilted Scots. for the Greek battlers wear a peculiar swinging skirt called by them "foustanella Not only that but in ordinary times they affect a peculiar shoe with upturned toes, said footgear often being dyed in gay colors. The outfit makes them look more like ballet dancers than bullet handlers,
 Just, as at one time most high land Scots wore the kilt as part of their everyday garb, so, up to about 100 years ago, most Greek highlanderS wore the 'fouStanella. ," Today most of them wear ordinary pants and coat just as do the Scots. The name "Evzones" is said to come from "Eu" meaning "well' and one" meaning "belted." In other words, the Evzcnes are well-belted This, because they wear tight belt around their waist which, with the skirt, make them look rather slim at the body's equator.

LED REVOLT
 AGAINST TURKS

After the glory that once was Greece, the nation feli upon evil times under various conquerors un- til they became the vassals of Fur key. In 1921 the Greeks in the southern tip of the land rose in re- bellion.
 Many of the volunteers were mountaineers. As a matter. of course they wore their skirts. They took part in all the troubles of Greece clear down to the lime when peace finally came in 1863 with the choice of Danish prince as George the First, King of the Hellenes. It

was then that regiments fo Ev- zones became part of the regular conscripted Greek army. The Ev- zones also became the principal guards of the royal palace and per- son.
 In ordinary times, there are about 10000 of them. In war their regi- ments are greatly expanded. They are largely recruited from the tall men of the mountains, who are great climbers and walkers and dead shots. They are mostly farm CTS cultivating small patches, and shepherds.

 Their uniform, in addition to the white skirt and queer shoes, is a short jacket. Tn winter-time some of them wear a blue instead of a white skirt. In the present conflict the Evzones are said to have camou- fiaged their skirts by rubbing them in the mud.
 Their big advantage is thorough knowledge of the frontier moun- tains. All their lives they have been familiar with every pass and path and every cave and hiding place.

PERMANENT HAY
FIELDS ARE URGED
Sufficient Vegetable Growth
Controls Erosion And
Produces Feed
GUY A. CARDWELL
General Agricultural Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company

1.-The productivity of permanent
hay fields should be maintained at
all times in order to keep suffi-
cient vegetative growth on h e
land for controlling erosion as well
as for producing hay. The hay cut
from these fields will remove plant
food, which should be replenished
by applications of fertilizers and
lime. Areas where the growth is
retarded and the stand thin will
naturally require heavier applica-
tons of these materials. On fairly
productive land applications of 200
to 400 pounds of 2-10-4 or 2-12-4
fertilizer per acre, applied each
year, or 600 pounds of superphos-
phate applied every two years, is
suggested. On the less productive
land 200 to 400 pounds of 4-10-4
or 4-12-4 fertilizer per acre is re-
commended. Poor spots in mea-
doWs, as in pastures, are best rem
idled by applications of stable ma
nlre. Because of its value as a
mulch, manure is especially bene-
fetal where additional seed is used
to thicken the stand on severity
eroded areas. The soil type will
determine to a large extent the

Finds Scuppernong Grape
Growing A Profitable
Enterprise

WHITEVILLE, Nov. 10.-J. W.
Soles of Whiteville, Route 4, has
found a new cash crop that is adapt
able to Columbus county, S. c.
Oliver, county farm agent of the
State college extension service, re-
ported today. He is growing SOUP
pernong, grapes and finding it a pro-
fitable enterprise.
Mr.. Soles received $365.52 this
year from the sale of s~cuppernonG'
grapes off eight-tenths of an acre."
Oliver said. He harvested 1875
pounds of grapes and sold them for
two cents per pound, or $4,000 per
ton"
Mr.. Soles reported TO the farm
agent that he set out the scupper-
nong grape vines six years ago II
fortified them the first two years
at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre.
Since that time he has had no eX-
pense whatsoever except pruning,
which he does with farm labor, and
harvesting.
Many of our farmers in Column
bus county are seeking a new cash
crop to supplement their income
from tobacco and cotton" Oliver
declared, land it is altogether pos
sible that we might utilize u MT
ural location of soil and climate for
the production of s~cuppernons
grapes. Practically all of VI farms
have a grape vine or two with the
runners reaching the round.
IF these runners r covered with
dirt, they will root in a compare
lively short time and may be cut
off and set out in desired locations.
Through this method a grower can
get all the new plants that he wishes
at virtually nc cost to him. One or
two acres of scuppernong grapes
could prove most profitable to u
growers as a supplemental source
of cash income"

SHORT COURSE TO
OPEN ON JAN. IA
instruction For Adult Farm.
ers And Farm Women
Planned At College

RALEIGH, Nov. 1O.-The fifth
annual tobacco short course for
adult farmers and farm women will
be held at N. C. State college Jan
uary 14-17, inclusive, it was announc-
ed today by Dan NJ. Paul, director
Of agricultural short courses at the
college. A program is being arrang'
ed to include lectures each morning
and grading demonstrations two aft
ernoons.
Paul said that the opening day OF
the short course will be devoted 10
a discussion of the agricultural con-
servation program as it affects to-
bacco. E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive
officer, will preside and he has IN
vited several Triple-A leaders from
WASHINGTON to make talks at the
meeting.
LLOYD r. Weeks, extension tobac-
co specialist, is helping Paul plan
the program. The past four pro-
grams have included lectures and
discussions of such problems as fer
tilizers, seeds, soils, plant nutrition,
the relation of forestry of tobacco
production, and soil conservation in
tobacco areas.
The fourth annual short course
last January attracted 81 men and
one woman. With only two or thfee
exceptions, the %enrollees were not
among the 21O persons who attend
ed the three previous tobacco schools
at State college.
Paul announced that programs
giving complete information as TIC
the speakers and subjects to be dis
cussed, as well as the cost OF the
training school, will be issued
shortly.
In addition to the Tobacco Short
Course, other similar schools for
adult farmers and farm women are
being arranged at the college fol-
this winter.

STATE IS SECOND
IN MILK PRODUCTS
Consumption Of Dairy Pro
ducts Increasing In
North Carolina
BY LOUIS H. WILSON,
Editor, N. C. Department
Agriculture

RALEIGH, Nov. 10.-lR -
North Carolina ranks second in
the nation in the value of milk
products in the households on the
farms where dairy animals are
kept.
This is the finding of w. T.
Wesson, junior statistician of the
state department of agriculture,
who today reported that "con-
sumption of dairy products is on
the increase in North Carolina"
Based on a federal-state crop
report, Wesson said that "the state
also has a national rating of third
in the quantity of farm butter sold
last year."
Meanwhile, the markets division
of the department is cooperating
with commercial dairymen
throughout the state in an effort
to further promote the consump-
ton of dairy products. A full-time
dairy marketing specialist, Miss
Isabelle Moseley, has been con-
Quoting a concerted campaign for
the last IA months in behalf OF
dairy councils to unite dairymen
in a program designed to boost
their sales and exand their mar.
|kets.
"Despite the fact that milk con-
sumption is on the increase, the
per capita consumption of milk is
far too low in North Carolina"
Miss Moseley said. THE crop re.
porting service, based on 1879 es-
Inmates, indicates that the daily
per capita non-farm milk con
sumption was less than a p in
while the farm population con.
sumed is pints per capita"
The report also revealed that:
!. North Carolina produced 167,.
1876, 900 gallons of fluid milk in 1889
OF which Ill, $50, 900 gallons or 81
per cent was consumed on farms
2. One-third of milk produced
on farms was sold, thus placing
North Carolina near the top ii
quantity of milk consumed or

COTTON GROWERS
TO VOTE ON DEC. 7
Will Decide Then Whether
They Want Marketing
Quotas In 1941
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
N. C.. State C0llCve

RALEIGH, Nov. 10.-M-A red
letter day on the calendars, of
North Carolina farmers is Deem
Der 7, date of the cotton refsren-
dunn, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive
office of N. c. State college, an
nounced tody.
On that day, cotton growers of
the nation will go to the polls to
decide whether they want market
ing quota provisions placed on the
1941 crop. The national quota for
next year remains the same as
that in effect this year, u, 900, 900
acres. This will make possible, if
yields are normal, the marketing
Of approximately II, 000, 900 bales
Of cotton.
Before the 194l national market
ing quota can become effective
Floyd explained, it must have the
approval of two-thirds OF more of
the farmers voting in the Decem-
Der z referendum. During the past
three years, cotton growers have
approved the quota provisions by
wide margins.
The fact that an individual state
votes against quotas d o not
mean that restrictions would not
be in effect there if the nation as
a whole voted favorably. The sum
total of the balloting is added.
and if a two-thirds majority favor
tho i~o;4o+ione than a1,ory cotfco
state will have to abide by regu-
lations.
Floyd explained that a cotton
marketing quota is declared when
the supply of American cotton be-
comes seven per cent above nor
NAL. BY normal is meant the
cotton usually required for a years
domestic consumption and exports
plus 40 per cent extra to insure
adequate carryover.
"On August l of this year." the
State college AAA executive Off
Ger said, ut was determined that
u supply was not seven per cent
abov normal, but 81 per cent"
Although the United States is
using almost a record amount Of
cotton largely as a result Of the
national defense program, the Eu-
ropean war has cut down exports
seriously.
This situation m a S advis-
able Floyd said, "a continuation
of the present cotton program, so
that supplies can be kept in hand.
In addition to marketing quotas,
the program provides for other
aids, among which are acreage
allotments to adjust supplies with
demand and the cotton loans to
put a floor under the price.
Cotton loans and cotton mar
keting quotas are linked togcth-
er," he explained further, lin that
loans are available to growers on
ly in years when marketing quo
tas are in effect"
A balloting place will be set UP
in each cotton community where
eligible growers may cast their
ballots. A grower is eligible" il
he shared in income from the 1910
cotton crop.
