A. King, Extension Economist Farm Management made a visit | to each community entered in 1 the contest and discussed what had been accomplished with the committee members of the com¬ munities. Mr. L- C. Adams, county agent accompanied him on the visits and introduced him to the people interviewed. He was very impressed by some of the communities and especi¬ ally Wildwo<j£i, where there seems to be much interest in the pro¬ ject. Because there isn’t a great amount of farming carried on there and the community is fairly well congregated, the people have centered their in¬ terest on home improvement, church, bible schools and their youth program such as the newly organized 4-H club. In contrast to Wildwood is the Cloverdale community. Here there is no great amount of centralized community life there fore) the people there have con¬ centrated on better farming methods and improvements around the home. Since the kitchen occupies much of the housewife’s time, the ladies are interested in improving their kitchens- Morganville and New Salem were still working, but interest seemed to be lagging. Mr. King addressed the Lions Club at their regular meeting and in his talk he discussed the changing condition of rural com¬ munities. “The purpose of the contest is to make better neigh¬ bors,” he stated, “as that neighbors do not visit so fre- ouently since automobiles and roads have become common¬ place” Mr. Jules Case, chairman is to appoint judges for the closing of the contest November 1. —------ il “OOker I lo'ored O 1 1 il news (Intended for last week) School opened Monday with pupils in roll.

Those children whose parents them to a doctor for a medical check-up be¬ the opening of school and any suggestions the might have made actually the best prepared. Certainly child should have a rou¬ physical examination at once a year but it is espec¬ important as part of his for school. Many doctors believe that the of life when the child is school is among the neglected periods of his They point out that infants small babies are as a rule cared for with careful super¬ of diet, protection from and accidents and the periodic visits to the doctor or clinic. ITie older on the other hand, “speaks when he is not feeling up par. Usually, it is the child of the preschool and kindergarten age health is most apt to be neglected. He has advanced be¬ yond the “baby stage,” with Its careful supervision, and yet Is not old enough to help take care of himseif. A child’s physical well-being should be of special concern to his parents at this time. First of all, many defects or imper¬ lections that might otherwise handicap him in later life, or oven shorten his life, can be de¬ tected and taken care of at this early age- Secondly, the cseck- i-p might insure' a happier school Lfe for the child, cutting down on the time lost from school be- cause of illness and enabling him to study and learn to full capac- with the minimum of trouble as far as his health is concerned, For example, children should have certain protections against before they enter school. child should be’ vaccinated he enters school; most require’ it- Doctors ad¬ as a matter of fact, that be taken to protect baby against diphteria, cough and smallpox the end of his first year.

Soil Conservation By Hugh Clark The season of the year for pasture land Is almost and as soon as a good sea- is in the ground a number farmers who have already limed, fettilized and prepared their land will seed It in pasture grasses and legumes- Among the ones noticed recently who have prepared their land or are doing so are;—Dan Smith, New England, W. B. Massey, Roy Moore, Grady Bradford, Lookout Mountain, James Henderson, Monroe Powell, B. B. Kenlmer, Robert Gatlin, Rising Fawn, Dock Stevens, Jr., Myron Gass. C A. Carroll, E. R. Wells, Sand Mountain and others. Quite a number of farmers are intending to seed the fescue and ladino clover mixture which is considered a good permanent winter and spring pasture. For pastures to grow the best there must be an ample supply of lime, phosphate and potash in the soil. Soil samples taken during the past few months In¬ dicate that most all land Is de¬ ficient in these materials, espec¬ ially if pasture grasses or le¬ gumes are to be seede'd.
