War Prisoners Wanted
To Relieve Della
Labor Shortage

The Labor Committe of Delta Coun-
Gil, in session here this morning, is rec
ommending to all interested farmers
and planters of the Delta section that
they contact by wire or letter their
Congressional representatives urging
that these gentlemen do all possible to
facilitate the movement of war prison
ers into camps in the Delta section to
alleviate the increasingly serious labor
shortage. The committee as a whole, in
telegram, urged Senator Eastland and
Representative Wilmington to contact
the Provost Marshaps office and other
officials charged with the responsible
ity Of allocating war prisoner labor. It
was the opinion of the committee that,
II all individuals of the Delta would
make similar request of their Con-
gressmen, immediate action might be
forthcoming.
W. X. Anderson, President, submitted
to the committee the suggestion that
high school boys be used on farms and
plantations in jobs such as assisting on
combines and similar light work, such
labor to be paid at prevailing prices.
In making the Recommendation, Mr.. An
derson stated, 1--WE have right here in
the Delta large potential source of
labor that is anxious to make its con-
tribution in the food-for- freedom cam
paign. Boys of high school age, Boy
Scouts, and other youth organizations
have many members who are anxious
to earn money during the summer
months who would like to be out on the
farm and who want to make real work.
ing contribution to agriculture's war ef-
fort" The Labor Committee adopted the
recommendation unanimously.
The Labor Committee also ~,ted
unanimously to contact all county su-
perintendents of education, asking that
school terms be SO worked out in the
various counties as to make available
rural children for the peak cotton. pick.
ing and cotton harvesting seasons. It is
felt by rearrahging the school terms a
large labor force could be available
during the early fall and late spring.
Some counties have already taken the
necessary steps and the full cooperation
of all county superintendents is being
asked.
Those in attendance were: F. C. Wag-
ner, Chairman, Dunleith; Sam Smith,

it was pointed out that hill land pas
lures can he groFn for winter and
spring grazing s&ith the use of crimson
and hopp clovers. The success Of these
two plants is attributed to heavy ap-
plications of acid phosphate and lime.
Near Richland, R. NJ. Branch, presi-
dent of Holmes Junior College, told the
group that it was paying him good divi-
dends to put hog wire fence around
his. 80. acres of white dutch clover where
he expects to harvest over $4,000 worth
Of seed per acre this year.
s This crop was planted in the fall of
1912 but until it was fenced unsatis-
factory results were secured. Only
enough white dutch clover went to seed
in a943 to reseed the acreage for this
crop. Besides the hog wire fence, he at
tributes his success to acid phosphate
and lime applications. The seed crop he
planted will be influenced greatly by
the honey bees, to pollinate the flower.
He arranged with one of his neighbors
to place several colonies near this white
dutch clover field when it started bloom
ing in the spring.
The last farm visited was that Of w.
J. Waits near Ebenezer. The entire
acreage Of 1927 acres in this farm is
being used in general farming system.
Corn. cotton, hay, oats, white dutch,
common lespedeza clovers are among
the crops being grown. Besides these
several hundred acres are devoted to
improved pasture on which liberal ap-
plications of phosphate and lime are
used when needed.
Mr.. Waits attributes his success to
the use of his land to the crops it will
try to grow cotton where the land is
not capable of growing this crop. He
places the crop on the soil which it is
most capable of growing. He has inn
proved his pastures by clipping them
regularly and using terraces on slopes
and has improved his herd of white face
cattle by using good white face bulls.
The farmers from Coxburg community
were enthusiastic over what they saw
on this tour and are making plans al
ready to adopt scme of these crops to
their plan of farming.
Farmers making the tour were:

Food fads and poor food habits hinder
good nutrition. said Miss Mary Stansei,
hutritionist for the Mississippi State
Board of Health. discussing the fact
that many people are below par insofar
as good nutritious concerned. Hidden
hunger keeps many people in state OF
half health" said she, mot sick, but
not well enough 10 reach top efficien-
cy.s
Listing lack Of knowledge concerning
the daily food needs, inadequate pro-
duction and preservation of foods, and
poor soil as other reasons for inadequate
nutritional intake, Miss Stansel said
that superstitions regarding foods and
how and when they should be eaten still
persist.
"There are all sorts of food fads con-
nected with weight control" she said,
"the most serious of which is the idea
that milk is fattening." Stating that no
food is fattening, the nutritionist said
that person is overweight because he
or she eats more total food-gets, more
calories--than the body uses. Sensible
weight control calls for the inclusion
of all foods necessary to the mainten-
ance of good health, with limitation
on those foods which contribute little
except calories to the body needs. A
pint of milk heads the list in safe
reducing diet"
Condemning the notion that to lose
weight one should do without meal,
Miss Stansel said that to skip any meal,
especially breakfast, contributes to poor
nutrition and lessened efficiency.
Most food habits, good and bad, go
back to eating patterns set in childhood,
according to Miss Stansel, who urged
parents to acquire and practice good
eating habits for their own benefit and
the benefit Of their children.

Teachers Get Extra Funds:
Urged To Purchase Bonds

Ashe county teachers, along
with others throughout North
Carolina will receive their part
of the surplus school funds. And
for the county the total will be
$2,760. This is $500 per month
per teacher provided the teacher
taught as much as six months. It
will be around $18, less retire
ment fund deduction.
"Since we are in the midst of
the Fifth War Loan Drive and the
invasion, I want to urge every
teacher, who can possibly do so
to invest this extra money in a
bond,' County Superintendent A.
B. Hurt said.
It was pointed out by other
leaders in the bond drive that
since this was in the nature of
extra pay, that they believed that
most of the teachers would add
to this and purchase bond.
