Alabama League of Handicrafts Aims to Build State Industry
Alan Catherine May Nes of the Alabama Extension Service envisions turning leisure time handicraft by Alabama home demonstration women and 4-H girls into a state industry. She notes department stores’ boycott of Japan and Germany boosts local sources and says standardizing Alabama articles is key. Last year women earned nearly $10 000 from such crafts.

Legume Intercrop Reduces Corn Yields in Alabama Tests
Alabama Experiment Station tests show planting legumes with corn, notably velvet beans and cowpeas, reduces corn yields by competing for moisture and nutrients. In Headland corn alone yielded 14 bushels versus 8 bushels with velvet beans. Belle Mina 37 bushels versus 25 with beans. Crossville saw 40 bushels for cotton, vetch and corn versus 29 with beans added. Experts say separate cropping maintains better corn yields.
