Cut Hay Requires Less

A recent innovation in haymaking is
that of running the cured hay through
cutter and blowing it into the mow.

capacity of the mow, thus leaving barn

Members of the Bertram, Myers and
Elston families held their 11th annual
reunion at Farmer's Inn, Huntsville,
“was a recognition of the fact that
the skilled mechanic,
the artist, the professional man and woman and the white-collar worker are
provided useful work which
have fitted that person to do.”
Mr. Biddle’s report, a 136-page do-
cument, covers the Civil Works Ad-
ministration operation from its beg-
inning on November 15, 1933, until its
completion on March 31, 1934.
was succeeded by the Work Division, |
the latter now coordinated with the
Emergency Relief Work, The report
was sent to Harry L. 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Works Administration was superseded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.

were working and that in the second
week, this number doubled. 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. A. more than $40,
1600,000.00 was paid to C. W. A, em-
Iployes in salaries and wages
The peak volume of work occurred
{during the January-18 week when more
than 8,200,000 man hours of work were
accomplished. This © represents an
average of slightly more than 26 hours
| per week per employe. For the six-
[teen weeks for which data is avail-
{able a total of 6,882,138 man hours
| were worked.
Average earnings per week per em-
|ploye were more than $10.00 per week
lin all weeks except four. In each of
[these four weeks, the average time
| worked was small. 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.

program afforded actual relief to many
{unemployed persons who never would
{have applied for direct relief but who
{were just as eligible as many others on
relief rolls. “The number of families
in this class cannot even be guessed,”
the report says.

AS the millions of
World’s Fair visitors saw
tiresmadeinthe Firestone
Factory and Exhibition
Building, we asked
thousands this question:
“What do you value most
in a tire?” Car owners
from every state in the
Union were interviewed
—drivers of automobiles,
trucks, busses—out of it
all came one composite
answer: “Give us Blowout
Protection, Non-Skid
Safety, and Long Wear,
at a moderate price.”
Firestone engineers
used every conceivable re-
source in the develop-
ment of a tire embodying
these qualifications and
selling to the public at a
price within the reach of
every car owner. Answer
— the new Firestone

in. cut hay were prevented only by
prompt action, and one -barn has the
paint badly blistered on the siding of
the mow where cut ‘hay was‘ stored.
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.
