Choose
Your Home
With Care
By Angelo Potri

There are many housing de-
velopments about to be occupied
by young people starting out to
found families and homes. Often
the question arises. Where shall
we go?" Which development Of
fers the best home?" What
about the children we may
have?"
The best place to bring up
children, in my opinion. Is the
country. Farm children have
the best opportunities for q
healthy existence. City children
are far less fortunate. A city
park is all very well, but it is
far short of being an open field
"a street is a poor playground.
But the children whose par
ents must find homes In devel.
opments are not going to live on
farms, nor see as much Of open
fields as they might wish. It
rests on the parents then to
search for the best place for
youngsters. with opportunities
for healthy play, in congenial
surroundings and for schooling
under the right conditions.
For the sake of the peace and
harmony that mean so much to
the healthy life of family it
Is wise to look for a home in
a friendly community. with
people of about ones own stand
ard of living.
1t would be heavenly. Of
course, if all men and women
were friendly, but that state
has not as yet been established.
so it is the BETTER part of good
sense to try to locate where
there are people ready to well
come and admit newcomers.
After buying a house it. is too
late to learn that the neighbor
to the right hates children and
adores dogs. and that neighbor
to the left is too fond of noisy
parties.
Ask yourselves: Will the peo-
pie here like us and will
we like them? Is this a good
place for children? Will they
be welcome? Can we afford to
live here? Where is the school
and how good is it? Where Is
the church of our faith?
Don't forget it must first be
a place with a welcome for the
children. 1t may be for them
the home is being set up.

You probably know Mr.. Ives best
as "The Wayfaring Stranger"
although you have no doubt seen
him in the theater, and in the
movies, or heard him on radio.
Today, through Burl's COM
ments, am bringing you mans
idea about what fashion should
mean to women. Let's start with
a quotation from him.
1.-The gals have stolen our fes-
tive clothes and man is general
ly restricted to sober colorS and
to suits that are almost like uni
forms. Women have the whole
rainbow of color available to
them, the choice of long or short
skirts, romantic clothes or boyish
shorts and slacks. But-wl1at
use do they make of them?
LET the fashion be longer
skirts, and if a bugle were
sounded as a signal, hemlines all
over the country would drop, re-
gardlesS of whether the individ-
ual woman is more attractive
with a longer skirt or not. On
the other hand, when the hem
line rises in the fashion maga-
zine it rises in Hollywood, on
Fifth avenue, Michigan boule-
ward and on Main street, with
no concern as to whether the legs
thus revealed would be more
kindly treated by a longer skirt.
IF it's a bare winter in the
evening department, skinny
shoulders emerge along with
well-rounded ones. When a
short, severe shingle suddenly
becomes the thing. countless
necks that looked more appeal
ing when adorned with few
soft curls, emerge with severity" ."
AS you can tell, Mr.. Ives is
waging a war for more individ-
uality in dress, and he has prac-
ticed what he breaches. He wore
brightly colored vests with nov
city buttons long before they
became popular and wore richly

Gold and white are the two
colors being associated with the
coming coronation festivities.
Cleaning touches on snowy
white fleeces and woolens help
produce any number of exciting
and regal looking fashions par
ticularly in the coat lineup for
spring.
In short and long lengths the
casually styled coats respond
beautifully to the use of gold
thread embroidery and shining
bead trims.
Our four pictured fashions are
a case in point. The toppers also
come in mountaineering pastel
shades with Innings equally as
pretty as the outside of the coat.

q through 81 have appointed

A native of Illinois Heberer. has
been associated for the past six

professional educational and gov
ernment agencies in planning Or
ganizing and managing special
events and services.
Included among these activities
were conferences tours, broadcasts
and shows. While he was on the

and Home Hour.

Then, from June / to about
June 20, the seedlings are trans
ferred. They are planted in the
fields about like tomatoes or cab
bage. Harvesting starts the latter
part of August.
Some 40 pounds of fertilizer per
100 yards of seed bed is used at
seeding time. Another 1000 to l.
200 pounds of a complete fertilizer
is broadcast on the fields before
the crop is planted. Extra phos-
phorus and potash is needed by to-
bacco and is put on as a Side-dreSs
later in the growing season.
A loam type soil is best suited
for tobacco production. The land
will produce the best when it has
plenty of humus in it and is well
drained. A green manure crop is
planted on the land at the end of
each crop season to add the neces-
sary organic matter.
Various tobacco diseases have to
be watched for very carefully. The
major ones are wildfire, angular
leaf spot and blue mold. If any
of these get serious, it often be-
comes necessary to relocate the
tobacco crop until the disease can
be eliminated.
Tobacco worm had also been a
factor at one time, but the para
site insects have pretty well whip
ped this problem.
The Pfeffers averaged 1900
pounds of tobacco per acre last
year. The county average was
about 1,400 pounds. Back in the
depression years the county aver
age was about 700 pounds per
acre.
Bill Pfeffer, Sr., stressed one
point strongly. The tobacco grow
ers who belong to the BurIey AS
Sociation have not been subsidized
by the government. They impose
their own acreage control and do
their own marketing. They attempt
to grow what the demand calls
for.

AROUND
OHIO

Most Ohioans do not realize the
amount of tobacco grown in this
state. But there is a tier of south
ern counties including Brown,
Clermont and others in which to-
bacco has been grown for a good
many years.
One of my visits last week was
at the farm of Bill Pfeffer near
Ripley in Brown County. He and
his son, Bill, Junior, are carrying
on a father-son farming program,
on the home farm. In addition to
the 100 acre home farm program,
they rent additional land from
neighboring farmers.
Son Bill has served about 80
months in World War II. He want
ed to get into farming upon his dis
charge from the service but the
lack of money kept him from get
ting into the sort of thing he
wanted to do. -
Through the financial assistance
of the Farmers Home administra-
ton, Bill received a load of suf-
ficient size to help equip the farm
and make the various improve
ments needed around the buildings.
The Pfeffer's are hard workers.
Between them, and another son,
George, they planted about 13
acres of tobacco this year. In addi-
ton to the tobacco acreage they
have corn, oats and pasture. The
livestock program consists of Jer-
sey cows and Angus beef cattle.
But tobacco is the big cash crop.
At one time, people in this section
were tobacco-poor. The lower the
price of the product went, the
more acres they planted.
Now, however, they belong to an
organization called the Burley To-
bacco Growers Association. A close
check is kept on the acres of to-
bacco planted. If any grower ex-
ceeds his allotment, he stands to
lose about 26 cents per pound on
his harvested crop.
Growing tobacco is back
breaking job to say the least. This
is still one crop which requires
considerable hand labor. About the
only time machinery can be used
is when the plants are transplant
ed from the growing beds to the
field.
Tobacco seed is put in the start
ing beds about the middle of April
in Brown County. 1t takes better
than 1000 yards of bed space to
grow plants for 13 acres of crop
land.

Never give the baby "iust a sip"
