Cooperation Means
MONTEAGLE, Tenn,—The folks
up in the Tennessee hills are won
dering what all the talk about gov
ernment cooperation really means.
More than 95 per cent of the
residents of Grundy county, Tenn.,
are on relief. Farmers there look
1 ed the situation over and decided
] that a cooperative to can their
| fruit products would help them
| out. A cannery cooperative, how
; ever, needs machinery, and
! chinery costs money. Faculty
members of the Highlander Folk
school, labor institution, helped
; the plans.
j The federal government finally
j allotted the group enough cash
ma
buy the equipment—but the farm
ers have not seen it yet.
money is in the hands of the state
relief administration and there
seem to be no signs of it getting
out.
The
Students at the Highlander Folk
school took an active part in the
textile strike last year, and the
heads of the relief administration,
closely tied up with the hosiery
industry in the state, remembered
their action. So they say: "No
money for the 'reds'."
Meanwhile, unemployed farmers
wait for the relief appropriation
which Would put them back to
work and take them off the relief
rolls.
Free Shelterbelt Trees
For Sheridan County
The Northern Great Plains Field
Station of the United States de
partment of agriculture at Man
dat!, N. D., has been conducting
experiments in planting shelter
belts on farms in the dry-land
areas of South Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming and North Dakota since
1914.
The quota for free plantings for
Sheridan county for 1936 is five
! shelterbelts. Applications must be
received at the extension office
I during May, according to M. J.
; Peterson, county agent. These
plantings will be distributed to
various communities in the county
in order to compare the conditions
in these areas.
Trees must be planted on clean,
well worked soil, containing
sonable amount ^of moisture at
planting time. The soil must be
kep t free of grass and weeds by
cultivation until the trees have
grown large enough to shade the
ground so that further cultivation
is unnecessary. The demonstra

Japan from U.S. Increase
Shipments of Scrap Iron tr
NEW YORK, May 10.—Since
1931, the year that Japan started
! her invasion of Manchuria, scrap
| iron shipments from the United
! States to Japan have increased
! from 48,036 tons in 1931 to 1,335,
564 tons in 1935, according t 0
Iron Age. Japan is now consid
ering a ship building project for
the construction of 500,000 tons
of new mercantile vessels which
will give her a merchant fleet
: "second to none." Another of Ja
pan's uses for scrap iron is in
dicated by the fact that 20 per
cent of the Japanese steel industry
is engaged in the manufacture of
war materials.
