Hopkins, Federal | Civil Works ington, In discussing the application of the Civil Works Administration Program, the Administrator wrote, “one of its splendid features was that 20 per cent of the number of persons placed com- prised the skilled and technical work-| ers, the white-collar employes and the artists.” The document Administrator in Wash- points out how the Civil Works Administration placed the | benefits of unlimited purchasing pow-! erfin the hands of a large number of | unemployed citizens at a time when possible recovery was beginning to] slacken, The report regrets that the Civil Works Administration was superseded by the Work Division March 28, and indicates that it is regrettable that the | expiration of the Civil Works Adminis- tration was ready to take up where the Civil Works Administration left off. “The cumulative experience of re- cent years, we believe,” the State Ad- ministrator wrote, “indicates that any far-reaching program of public works should not be founded primarily on re- lief need. One is justified on the bas- is of experience of the Civil Works Administration program in believing that it would be a means of doing away with uneconomic and socially undesirable work relief programs. It is our conclusion, therefore, Relief Works program is a Step back- ward.” In hailing the C. W. A. program, Mr. Biddle wrote: “The bold conception and courageous leadership of the Fed- eral authorities in Washington pres- ented a real challenge at its outset. Particularly for those who have been concerned with the depressing picture of relief during previous months it] was truly a new deal.” Up to this time| one continually had the sense of re- | treat—here was the attack at last! “The previous futile ful employment were, for the most part, a perversion of sound employ- ment principles. Destitution had usu- ally been the primary qualification for employment on these programs. The C. W. A. new conception. Ability and ‘willing- ness, not need, became the basis for employment. Here then, was the assumption of the responsibi- | lity of government to the victinys of in- dustrial dislocation.” Regarding employment under the C. W. A. program the report shows that, while more than a million people re- gistered ‘for employment at the peak week 313,000 of them received it. With- | in the first month of the €. W. A. operations, nearly 8,000 individual pro- jects were approved and work provided | for more than 800,000 persons. The State Administrator the lack of time to plan and the program in such a way cure maximum benefits for cerned. He also cites the loss that resulted from the drastic de- mobilization of the program time it was succeeded by the Work Division of the Emergency Re- lief program. In spite of this how- ever, Mr. Biddle observed, nesses of the C. W. A, program cannot obscure its accomplishments.” In amplifying his views on the suec- cess of the C. W. A. he pointed out that all. con- a cycle wherein purchasing power cir- culated through the whole of the econo- mic fabric; work accomplished benefit- ed communities and the purchasing power placed in the hands of C. W. A workers not only provided funds with which to supply their needs of life, but also raised morale and spirit.” At the time the C. W. A. program was initiated there were approximately 325,000 cases (families and non-family individuals) on relief in Pennsylvania. Approximately 600,000 different Penn- sylvania families had been granted un- employment relief at some time in the 14 ‘months period from September 1, 1932 through October, 1933. Unem- ployment reached its peak in March, 1933 while the cases on relief continu- ed to increase until May, 1933. In dealing with the extent <{ em. ployment, tiie report indicates that within the first week of the operation of the C. W.

Following { this, there was a rapid and steady in- crease for seven weeks until the peak {of employment was reached in the week ending: January 18,1934 when 819,387 persons were at work. | The pay roll figures indicate that for the first week ending November 23, [$52,590.70 were paid in salaries and wages. The peak was reached for 1them in the January 18 week when the ipay roll for C. W. A. employes ex- ceeded $4,417,000.00. During "the life- {time of the C. W.

The highest aver- |age weekly earnings came in the week of January 18 1934, and was $13.76. At the close of the C. W. A. program {when it was taken over by the Work | Division, the report shows that of the 19,873 original projects approved in iPennsylvania, 1,629 had been complet- led as of March 31, 1934 and 8,154 were {in an uncomplete state. | Statistics which would {true effect of the C.

The only safe rule is to have the hay dry and to be perfectly safe for store- age either cut or long. In blowing the hay into the mow, it is recommended that no one enter the mow until the hay is settled, but that the hay be kept level by changing the direction of the blower spout every few loads. Twenty pounds of salt.to a ton of hay, scattered on evenly as the hay is mowed away probably has some pre- servative action in retarding bacterial action and molds, but there is a limit to what it can accomplish. The hay of- ten will come out of the mow slightly tough, owing to the salt drawing and holding moisture, instead of its being dry, brittle, and dusty. Stock need some salt anyway and the salted hay doubtless is more palatable than the unsalted. Fine stock salt can be distri- buted better than the coarser grades.
