American Youth Hostel
Founded by Two Teacher*
In Decomber, 1934. two American
school teachers and scoot leaders—
Isabel and Monroe Smith—founded
jn their home town of Northfield,
Mass., the first American Youth
hostel. Borowed from an idea
widely developed in Europe, it was
a recreational venture whereby the
American people could investigate ;
their own country at little cost, by
bicycling, hiking, horseback riding
or sinking over carefully selected I
trails.
Last week, Amer'can Youth Hos
tels, Inc., was beginning its sixth
spring and summer season of opera
tion. As it did so, statistics were
produced to show how widely the
movement had spread.
In 1935, the first full year of opera
tion, there were only 35 hostels, all i
in Now England. In 1939, there
were 209, in all sections of the coun
try. In 1935, only 1,750 AYH passes
■were issued: last year, 11,146.
The "hostel” itself is a place
where the sightseers are permitted
to slay overnight by showing their
AYH pass (cost: $1 for those under
2!, $2 for adults) and by paying 25
cents each, plus five cents or ten j
cents for fuel. Chartered by AYH,
Inc., the hostels may be school dor- )
mitories, barns, farm homes, or
-country churches, and are usually
spaced IS or 20 miles apart. Sep
arate sleeping rooms are provided
lor giris and boys. In each hostel
there is a "houseparent” to super
vise the activities of the hostelers.
Today, there are loops of hostels j
in nine regions of the United State*; i
an the New England region alone
there are 73 stopping places, hos
telers, who can be anyone from ”4
tx) 94,” can travel over one of these
trails (marked by white triangles)
<or all of them, at a total cost of
about $1 a day. Dunks, mattresses,
blankets and heavy cooking equip
ment are furnished by the hostels.
The hostelers furnish tneir own
sleeping sacks and eating utensils,
cook their own meals, make their
own beds and wash their own dishes
before they depart,
i AYH, Inc., also sponsors hostel
*rips abroad. In 1939, the number
■of American youth hostelers who
■traveled abroad totaled 1,363.

TREAT GRAIN TO
CONTROL DISEASES
Countv Agricultural Extension
Agent W. T. Middlebrooks this
week recommended seed treat
ment as a practical and economi
cal method for control of seed
borne grain diseases on wheat,
.oats, rye, and barley.
| “The disease organisms, which
I are carried on the outside of the
seed, cause such diseases as
scab, seedling blight, and smut
ailment of wheat, oats and rye,
and stripe, black loose smut, and
seedling blight of barley," the
agent said.
“Losses from seed-borne di
seases are influenced by the
amount of disease organisms
carried on the covering of the
seed, as well as weather condi
tions," he declared. “Treating of
seed grains, in the majority of
cases, repays through increase in i
yield the very small expenditure
in time any money involved."
Mr. Middlebrooks advised the
use of an organic mercuric dust;
for treatment of seed grain at
the rate of one-half ounce per 1
bushel of seed, and, for oats|
only, a very cheap and easy:
method is the application of ai
formaldehyde solution to the !
grain with a hand spray gun.
“Seed grains may be treated:
at any convenient time prior to
planting and then stored until
ready for use, or the seed may
be treated and used immediate
ly," he said. For detailed infor
mation, contact the local county|
extension agent, or write the 1
Extension plant pathologist, Tif-j
ton, Ga.
