Twenty-nine actual cases OF IL
legal employment OF children TO
le years OF age during school hours
in the cotton fields OF this valley
and county have been uncovered
The law provides that children
must have passed the age OF l6 or
completed the eighth grade before
such employment.
However. Pustarfi said. Prob
ably hundreds OF children may be
involved in the whole county. We
have no way OF finding out what
the situation is except by driving
out into the fields"
The federal government is Inter
ested In the situation. IL was ex-
planned. because such practices
constitute violations OF the fair
labor standards act OF 1888.

 We asked Mrs. A. where her hus- band had worked and whether she had ever applied to the Social Se- curity Board for survivors insurance payments. The widow drew herself up-a little haughtily We thought and replied that one reason why her boy worked was so that they would not have to ask for relief. We said she would be getting in- surance her husband had helped pay for. We took pencil and paper and figured up her benefits for her. If her memory of her husband S earning was right, she was entitled to receive $50 month for herself and s20 month for her boy.
 Mrs. A. was little dazed when she made her way to the door. With her hand on the knob she turned. The mingled pride and fear had given way now to a half-un- believing joy. T know my boy won't quit school now even if he does keep his job,'' she said. I'm going right down to the store and tell him,

Every day our office is visited by men and women who want inform ation and advice on their social know about their personal stake in the Federal insurance system. Each one is interesting but out of the many who come there are always few who stand out above the others. Each week we chose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this column - without, of course, mentioning any real names.
 This week s visitor was a middle aged widow who came into the office to get social security card for her 16-year old boy. As she told us about Jack there was a curious expression on her face - half pride and half anxiety.
 Hes got job after school in a grocery store, that brings him in S2.50 week. she said. But I'm just afraid of it, you know; so many boys nowadays quit school once they start earning a little money. And I'll never stop being sorry if Jack leaves high school. He always wanted to be an engineer used to dream and plan. Now I know he is secretly thinking of going to work for good because he keeps saying we don't have enough. We don't have great deal since my husband died, but we have little insurance and, what with owning the house,

Peppers Sweet For Salads, Hot For Courageous Need Starter Solution For Best Production
Production

fore plants are to be set out. Pep per plants are very tender and silotilu f1ot ue pfa,Hed until all dan ger of frost has passed. Thrifty-look- ing plants, six to eight inches tall, should be chosen and set out two feet apart. Water with starter solution, if the plants are home grown, five days before they are set out in the garden, and again when transplanting. The starter solution is made by mixing three tablespoon fuls of complete fertilizer to a gallon of warm water, and applied at the rate of a cupful to each plant. The plants should be given two applicants of the liquid fertil- izer during the fruiting season.
 Sweet peppers are picked while still green, although thoroughly ripened red fruits are just as tasty. Peppers should be cut off, as pulling is apt to disturb the shallow root system. and stop pro- duction. Hot peppers are picked when fully ripe.
 Few insects or diseases trouble peppers, but dusting or spraying with rotenone will discourage po- tato bugs and flea beetles. How ever cutworms must be guarded against when plants are first set out. A paper collar placed about the stem at planting time, two inches above the ground and an inch under the surface, or poison bait spread about the plants, will protect against the worms.
