Knee High Greenhouses Turn To War Food Production
NEA Service and The Enterprise with the U S Department of Agriculture present a fourteenth article in the Food for Freedom series. It explains knee high cold frames and hot frames as compact, cost effective year round seed starters and small garden frames. It covers construction from reused lumber, muslin covers, frame width under five feet for sideline tending, and North versus South frame protection with glass sash or muslin. It notes use of well-rotted manure and cautions against manure high in straw, while comparing window boxes as an alternative to cold frames and advising focus on fertile seed beds and quality seed.

Airplane factory may come to North Carolina
A large airplane factory is expected to locate in North Carolina aided by a potential $3,000,000 RFC loan. The site could serve several towns as much work is contracted to existing shops, with light training planes produced rather than heavy bombers. Chapel Hill’s air field matters less if UNC hosts the school, as ground training dominates.
