By JOHN H. HARRIS
(Extension Labdacape Specialist.
North Carolina Stat* College.)
Farmers and city people have dif-
ferent protyems in beautifying their
homes. In the city or town, space
usually is limited, but long summer
evenings allow time for the atten-
tion to annual and perennial plants
that offer most flowers for the least
space.
On the farm, rush seasons in the
fields mean long hours and little
leisure at the very time flower gar-
dens may be most in need of weed-
ing, cultivating, and watering. But
the grounds around the farm home
are usually ample for more of the
1 ornamented trees and shrubs than
those of the town dweller.
These two sharp differences are
worth considering when the farm
family considers plantings to im-
prove the home grounds. Planting
a few shrubs each season, and add-
- — mg a- few more fremtime to time
will soon make the home more at-
tractive, and will conserve time
in busy seasons.
Shrubs and trees will need good
. care *nd watering for two or three
I seasons, but after that, if they are
well selected, good woody plants will
practically take care of themselves. 1

Straw Erosion Control
If you have an old straw stack
which you don’t need for feed or fo»
any other purpose, don’t burn it,
or just let it stand out in the field.
You can make good use of the straw
for erosion control. Straw—as well
as pine needlek, leaves and other
mulch materials—can be made to
save your soil. Soil savers have a
pat slogan for gully control: “Seed
it, fertilize it, mulch it and watch
the grass choke the gully to death.”
The idea is worth trying.

to make them rigid. Have you
any suggestions as to how this
may be done? B. P,”
Curtain rods are used through
the spools to make the legs. Bet-
ter take along a spool to try when
you shop for the rods; and get
the type that has one piece fitting
inside the other. If the spools are
a little loose on the rod, it won’t
make any difference for they
must be glued between each spool,
and, also between the spools and
ths table shelves. I have shown
in the sketch everything else you
need to know to make this table.
Good luck to you!

Drouth Years Favored
Weed Rivals of Crops
The “weed problem’’ on Ameri-
can farms has changed radically in
the last generation, according to L. j
W. Kephart, in charge of weed re- |
search in the federal bureau of plant
industry. From concern over culti-
vation of annual weeds in tilled
crops, interest has shifted chiefly to
the “noxious weeds,” mainly peren-
nials which have been spreading
alarmingly.
Fifteen years ago the noribus
weed areas did not greatly exceed '
1,000,000 acres, Kephart estimates.
I Now these weeds have “taken”

U. S. Wheat Insurance
Is Expanded in 1940
i Wheat growers of the nation took i
out more than two and one-third
: times as much “all-risk’’ crop in-
L_______ ♦ surance. .fox. 1040 as for 1939, the ,
Federal Crop Insurance corporation
reports. Increased grower interest
swelled the number of contracts in |
; force from 166,000 irj 1939 to almost
| 380,000 in 1940. These are estimated
j to cover 11,000,000 acres, insuring
farmers of income from at least 106,-
000.000 bushels of production.
There was increased enrollment
| in 1940 for all but two states in
which insurance was offered. The
greatest increase otcurred in the
major winter wheat states, where in
1939 growers did not have an oppor-
I tunity to make use of advances from
Agricultural Adjustment adminis-
tration payments to finance premi-
, urns. Nebraska and Kansas both
i registered more than a 300 per cent
I increase, Nebraska going from 13,-
000 contracts in 1939 to almost 57,000
in 1940, and Kansas from 15,000 to
60,500.
Pennsylvania leads in crop insur-
ance in the eastern winter wheat
area with 5,900 growers , in the pro-
gram, an increase of 158 per cent. ;
I In the Far West, Idaho leads with
6,836 contracts, an increase of 325
per cent.

in whole townships.
Two factors have played a great
j part in this spread, Kephart finds.
Since 1930 an unusual series of dry
years has proved extra favorable
i for seed production by the weeds.
I Economic depression increased
j farm -tenancy and a general let-
; down in farm care. “The indica- ]
tions are,” says Kephart, "that the
present situation will not greatly im- ’
i prove and that noxious weeds will
I continue to increase, unless vigorous
measures are taken to combat I
them.”
The situation has roused many
i farmers. The federal seed law has
been made more effective. Thirteen
states have adopted new laws or
revised old laws on weed control,
and eight states are co-operating
with the bureau of plant industry in

Pull the Trigger or
Constipation, and
PspsMnfcidStaMhTw
When constipation brings on add inefi-
gestion. bloating, diny spells, gas. coated
tongue, eour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer-
tain undigested food and your bowels don’t
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rick ’indigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So ba
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take Dr. Cildwell’e Laxative, because its
Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the
powerof Pepsin to dissolve those lumps o<
undigested protein food which may Unger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is bow pepeao-
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
‘ -W—j your constipation. So see
bow much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepan to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin-
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy Dr. Caidwell's Lax-
ative—Senna with Syrup Pepsin at your
