Clio Backs Truman's S
Health Plan as Way TO
End Second Rate Care

The CIO supported President
Truman's health insurance pro-
gram today as the way to end
"second-rate and secondhand
medical care which Is the lot Of
millions of Americans"
James B. Carey, CIO secretary
treasurer. In a statement prepared
for a Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Subcommittee. seconded
support for the controversial COM
pulsory health insurance proposal
given at yesterdays committee
session by the AFL.
Mr.. Carey. hitting at alternative
measures to the compulsory in
surance bill,' declared the admin
tstration proposal would aid every
one except some patent medicine
manufacturers and others who now
profit from illness, poverty and
ignorance.
The compulsory plan would
guarantee protection against most
medical and hospital bills, financed
chiefly by payroll deductions from
working people and their en-
ployers. Several alternative bills.
providing Federal aid to States,
rely on voluntary prepayment in
surance plans to accomplish the
medical cost protection.
ANY measure that emphasizes
help on a charity basis is a step
backward" Mr.. Carey said. "Peo-
pie should not be required to
prove that their incomes are low
or that they have no resources.
It is bad enough to be poor with
out having to prove it, and with
out having investigators snoop
around to see that you have not
lied"
The committee today also was
to hear testimony from officials
Of the American Hospital Associa-
ton, Catholic Hospital Associa-
ton and American Protestant
Hospital Association. all of whom
oppose the compulsory proposal.
The committee late yesterday
heard a prediction that Blue
Cross. the network of voluntary
health insurance plans, will
double its membership within the
next three years to cover the hos
pital bills of 60, ,000, 900 Americans.

Mix Sand, Soil and Peat
for Winter Seed Starter

When garden seeds are soWn in
doors, long before it is safe to be-
gin outdoor operations, much will
depend upon the soil used to fill the
seed box If this was not brought
inside before the ground froze in
the fall, it should be dug, and
placed under shelter where it will
thaw out gradually.
If you try to dry soil quickly,
with considerable heat, you will
make it very muddy at first, and
lunpy thereafter. This will be diff
cult when what you want is a
erumbly soil. Slow thawing will do
the work, so do not try to rush
things.
Even though you have taken the
best top soil from your garden
as you should-it will still need
mixing with sand to make it 1ooser,
and humus to increase its water
holding capacity. Peat moss or
leaf mould will supply satisfa ctory
humus, but do not use manure,
even when well rotted, in soil to be
used to start seeds. Nor should
plant food be used, lest too much
nitrogen be supplied for the health
Of the seed sprouts.

concrete will make a satisfactory
mixture. After it is well mixed
pass it through sieve, about "
inch mesh; and keep the coarser
particles in a pile, to be used in
the bottom of the seed boxes. The
finer soil is then filled in to the
level of the box; it will settle
quickly.
Sphagnum moss may be spread
in layer on top of the soil, if it
I is desired as a means of protecting
the seedlings from "damping off"
and other diseases. If soil is pre-
pared by this method, there will
be no need for feeding the Seeding
plants until they have reached
transplanting size.
Two substitutes for soil which
may be used in seed boxes are
vermiculite, a form of mica used
to insulate buildings, and sphag-
mum moss. These are sterile SUBJ
stances which have many advan-
tages, being much lighter than soil;
but they are entirely lacking in
plant food and if used the plants
must be fed as soon as they have
made true leaves, (their second
pair) with water. in each gallon o.

10O-BUSHEL CORN CLUB
SEEKING NEW MEMBERS

"Are you a member of the North
Carolina 100-Bushel Corn Club ? If
not, look up one" of your neigrbors
who is a member, and get him to
sponsor you for membership in
1949."
That's the advice given to Tar
Hill farmers this week by DR.. E. R.
Collins, in charge of agronomy ex-
tension at State College.
Every adult farmer, All club or
FLA member who belongs to the
1O0-Bnshel club will be asked to
sponsor another person for men,
bership this year, DR.. Collins said.
AS a reward, each sponsor will re-
ceive an ALLEGATION Of nitrogen top
dressing sufficient to take care of
his own corn crop and that of the
person he is sponsoring.
The two growers will be expected
to confer frequently concerning the
choice of hybrid seed, spacing, cult
waiting and fertilizering practices
which will result in the highest
yields.
Members who decide to accept the
sponsoring offer should notify their
county agent. In counties distribu-
tors will ship the topdressing mater
ial in carload lots. Farmers will be
required to accept delivery as soon as
the material arrives in January,
February, or March.
The 100-Bushel Club, started in
1916 for the purpose of encourag-
ing the use of hybrid varieties and
better production practices, reached
a membership of 638 in 1947. The
total may exceed 500 when all re-
ports have been received for 1948.

Some Fruits Require
Much Less Attention
By JOHN H. HARRIS
IN. C. State College)

The two-acre home orchards of
the past have about disappeared.
Better marketing facilities and in
creasing problems in disease and in
sect control have helped to bring
this about. There is still a place,
however, for home grown fruits.
Most home owners and horticuI-
turists now agree that it is more
advisable to use fewer trees, give
them better attention and concen-
trate largely on fruits that require
little spraying
Yes, it's not only possible to grow
your own home fruit supply, but it's
profitable and practical. Perhaps
we should add an "if"-if you have
sufficient interest. With the rapid
increase in home freezer lockers,
there is more incentive than ever to
grow your own fruit supply. In
many cases it is advisable to grow
enough to have surplus to sell.
There's scarcity of locally grown
trees or vine ripened fruit in nearly
every community.
Nutritionists have advised us for
years to eat two fruits daily to help
meet our body's requirements. Actu-
ally most of us come nearer eating
two fruits weekly than we do daily.
AS long as we have to buy all our
[. 49, one chances are our diets will
.cient in fruits.
fruits require much less at
tention than others. They are all
gy4ng to require some attention, so
don't expect something for nothing.
- q a list of fruits and nuts
hat, while requiring some attention,
do not usually require spraying.
Spraying is the hardest job to get
done because of the equipment nee
81 aIy. This list includes straw
berries, figs, pecans, boysenberries,
grapes, blackberries, rabbiteye
Wcl1luIo, pCdlo, NlC111CoS
apanese persimmons, and chest
nuts.
Fall is the ideal time for planting
these plants. If you can't get it done
this winter and early spring are all
right. A majority of the plants listed
above can be used as part of the
landscape material in your yard.
Pecans, for instance, make ideal
shade trees; figs can be used along
the side of the yard, blueberries
ke a fine background.
II plant your orchard and
then expect it to shift for itself. You
will need to prune, fertilize, spray,
keep out the grass-in short, you
will have to give your orchard some
attention.
