Israel Laughs

Three books depicting the
lighter side of life in Israel have
now made their appearance in
this country. They are: Ruth
Gruber's Israel Without Tears"
Paul Steiner's Israel Laughs
and Daniel Persky's Laughter
From Israeli. The first two vol
umes are in English, while the
third is in Hebrew. In her "Is-
rael Without Tears" Miss Grub
er tells US not only how the Is
raelis poke fun at each other, but
also how they do creative work
while taking their present diff
culties with a joke. And she
gives us quite a good selection of
new Israel jokes. Paul Steiner,
in his Israel Laughs" brings us
number of anecdotes rejecting
the day-to-day life in the Jewish
state and indicating the spirit of
good-humored self-criticism pre-
vailing there. Daniel Persky'S
book is a collection of impress
ions of the Jewish state written
in humorous style which will be
enjoyed by all Hebrew-reading
American Jews. i.

There are two types of ironers
in use today-the moving roll
(Ironrite, Bendix, F~rigidaire, etc.
and the flatplate types (Hotpoint,
General Electric). The latter has
a flat surface like that used by
tailors in pressing. With the mov
ing roll, the ironing shoe may be
either above or below the roller.
The homemaker will decide which
of the types suits her needs. She
will do we'll to watch demonstra-
tions of both before she decides.
There are portable ironers with
the moving roll. but they are usu-
ally smaller and light enough In
weight to be carried. Usually these
pOrtables must be used on a table.
Do we need to mention that this
table s h o d be a convenient
height? Portable ironers do not
have as many of the automatic fea-
lures as the larger ironers.
Women who use al ironer for
the first time quite naturally won

f%actOrily. Right from the start,
with little practice, flatwork, such
as sheets, towels, etc. can be IRON
ed perfectly Pajamas. shorts and
simple play clothes ear be done
almost as easily. But practice IS
needed before dresses, shirts. etc.
can be done skillfully. 1t can be
done! Experienced Users who have
good ironers can turn out work
rivaling the best hand ironing in
one-half to one-third the time, and
you can do it too-with practice.
The booklet of instructions will
p'ove very helpful and we suggest
that it be followed carefully until
the homemaker, becomes skillful.
Just as with learning to use a type

learn to coordinate mind and mus

Ironing with a machine Is SO

SOIL CONSERVATION
DISTRICT BOARD OF COMMITS
SIONERS ANNUAL REPORT
FOR 1949
The farmers cooperating with
the Holmes County Soil Conser-
walton district made great prog
ress in establishing permanent
vegetation, in planting winter
! grazing crops and draining bot
tom land during 1949. according
to H. P. Watson, chairman Of the
district commissioners.
During the year 144 farmers re-
quested help from the district
technicians for a complete soil
and water conservation plan.
These plans covered 14,595 acres.
There were 2726 acres of land
drained; $685. acres of permanent
! pasture established; 1874 acres of
kudzu planted; 88 acres planted
to sericea lespedeza and l0,857
acres of crop rotation installed.
In addition farmers made good
progress in establishing other con-
servation practices they had plan
ned. They established 1885 acres
of contour tillage; 4873 acres Of
winter legumes were planted for
cover crops; 4180 acres of crop
residue management was done;
305 stock ponds constructed; Is
fish ponds constructed and stock
ed; Is fish ponds we're ertilized;
Is acres were planted to wildlife
feed and cover; $50 acre were
terraced; 2.5 miles of diversion
bitches were constructed and 10.4
miles of firebreaks were con-
structed.
Draining our wet bottom land
has always been n of vi prob
lens. During 1949 we made a
great deal of progress in making
this land safe for cultivation by
drainage. We wish to quote what
Mr.. J. F. Longinotti, a cooperator
at Durant, has to say about drain
age. Mr.. Longinotti constructed
a drain ditch that drains IS acres.
He states that this land was
worthless before the ditch was
| cut. He stated that this ditch
was cut. He further stated that
| this ditch has improved the value
of this land $4,000 per ere Mr..
Longinotti also said that draining
land that needs it is one of the
/ most valuable practices that the
! district can do for a farmer.
The county fire control was one
| of the districts detectives in 1949.
AS 1949 ended plans were under
way to put this program on. 1t is
| planned for the chairman, as a
member of the committee working
on the program, to meet with the
county board of supervisors, and

One of the big problems facing
all farmers is the use to be made
of the acres diverted from cotton
due to the cotton reduction pro-

tally the hill land, should be used
for the growing of livestock, either
