C., FRlbAY, APRIL 7, 1944 “Л» The County News For fcverybotly"NO. 28 INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW SOLDIERS MAY VOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA ■Raleigh—The state board of elections today issued Instruc­ tions on absentee registration and voting by North Carolina men and women in the armed services. "It Is, the desire of everyone that the privilege of voting toe exercised to the fullest extent by our men and women' in serv­ ice,” said Chairman William T, ^Joyner of Raleigh. "The proce­ dure Is simple. Any member of a soldier's family can fill out the application form and deliver It or mall it to the chairman of his county board of elections. The chairman will do the rest. "An application by the soldier on a card furnished by the United States government, ad­ dressed to the secretary of state '(who will forward It to the chairman of the proper county board). Is sufriclent application for registration and general elec­ tion ballots, and is just as good as one made to the chairman of the county board of elec­ tions. "One application Is all that is necessary. It will secure for the applicant all the registration or voting privileges to which he is entitled in both the primary and In the general election. For ex­ ample: If an applicant makes ' application prior to the primary land is found to be entitled to be registered, he will be regis­ tered for the primary and gen­ eral election, and will be sent ballots for the primary and for the general election. "After a proper application has been flled giving the neces­ sary information, there Is noth­ ing further for the applicant or for his family to do either for the ptimary or the general elec­ tion. The chairman of the county board of elections will do the rest." An application form, which can be used by the service man or woman, or by any member of his or her family, can be ob­ tained from the charlman of the county board of elections. $6,500 Raised in Red Cross Drive At the middle of this week $6,500 has been turned in on the current Red Cross drive which has a goal of $9,000, it is reported by J.

Bill Smoot, have disced and fertilized about three acres of kudzu near Sheffield. This kudzu was plant­ ed In 1942. Junle Llvengood,X near P9rk, has disced and fertilized his kudzu fie^ld. He should:.get some hay this year. He is also do­ ing some terracing with a trac­ tor andfplow. C. A, Hendrix, near Pork, dug him some kudzu plants and has planted some along an old gully. This is a practical way to heal a gully. *'Pontz" Ferebee, near Roberts store, has a real stand of grasses on what was brush land a year ago. He did considerable work, used lime and fertilizer and a good mixture of grasses. HOR8E8 Horses are particularly sua ceptible to injury and death from spoiled and damaged feeds, says Prof. Earl H. Hostetler of the animal Industry department at State college. FARMERS MAY FILE ESTIMATED INCOME TAXAPRIL150RWAITUNTILDECEMBER Farmers may file their decla­ rations of estimated tax April 15 or may wait until December 15, Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., com-^ missloner of internal revenue, said today. Farmers are defined by the tax laws as those who receive 80 per cent or more of their In­ come from agriculture. They are the only taxpayers who have this choice of filing dates. “'Before you make your de­ cision, however,” Commissioner Nunan advised farmers, “you ought to realize that If you flle April 15 you can make your in­ come tax payments in four quarterly installments, but if you wait until December 15 you will have to pay the whole year’s estimated tax in one lump sum.” The commissioner explained that, when the pay-as-you-go system was adopted last year. It was realized that because of the seasonal nature and weather ^lazards of farming It might be difficult for some fanners to es­ timate their income and calcu­ late their estimated tax early hi the year, For that reason, they were given the option of wait­ ing until Decemtoer 15. However, many types of farming result in fairly even income through the year, and It may be to the ad­ vantage of some farmers to flle early and qualify for Installment payments. Farmers who want to flle In April may calculate their tax by either estimating their prospec­ tive Income for 1044 or by as­ suming It will be the same as last year. If the tax is based on last year’s income and this year’s rates and exemptions, and the payments are made on time, there can be no penalty If the estimate falls short. Otherwise, a farmer’s estimate will not re­ sult In a penalty unless it is more than 331-3 per cent short, In any case, April estimates may be amended on June IS, Septem­ ber 15, or December 15. The law requires farmers to flle declarations if they expect their Income this year to be $500 or more in the case of a single person or more than $624 In the case of a married person. State Grange Head Will Speak at Fork Harry B, Caldwell, state mas­ ter of the Grange, will be ^he principal speaker at a farmers meeting at the Fork community house tonight, Friday, at 8 o’clock, it is announced by J.

FOSTER DIED LASTTUESDAYP.M. B. J. Foster, 76, well known resident of Route 4, died at his home last Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. He suffered a stroke a week prior to his death.

Pennington of the Win­ ston-Salem oflice ot defense transportation staff and former Chevrolet dealer here, has been named associate trahsportatlon specialist—a new post establish­ ed in the local ODT district— and in that capacity will work in the fleld with truck operators, aiding them in obtaining scarce parts and equipment. Pennington received news of his promotion from the position of examiner, in which he han­ dled the ODT commercial motor vehicle maintenance program in the district covering most of northwest North Carolina. The ODT ofTlcial’s new duties will be similair in nature to the maintenance work he has had charge of, but he will now be able to devote his full time to this phase of the ODT program, making personal contacts in the field to help truckers solve their problems. ODT officials announced that Pennington will work through the several maintenance advis­ ory committees of the truck­ ing industry in this section "to keep the equipment moving.” Pennington, who is also a for- hire specialist with ODT, has ust returned from a regional meeting in Atlanta, Ga., at which plans to assist operators in the conservation of equip­ ment were discussed. RATION BOOKS It is most important that bet­ ter care be taken of ration books, states D. R. Stroud, chief clerk ot the war price and ra­ tioning board.. When books are lost they cannot be replaced un­ til passed on by the board and this delay may cause the loser much inconvenience.

BUY WAR BONDS and STAMPS Soviet Forces Only 14 Miles From Odessa New County Agent George Hobson, above, is the new county agent of Davle, who assumed his duties this week. CHARLES ERWIN IS COMMENDED The following editorial ap­ peared in the Forest City Courier after Charles C. Brwln left there to become the new superintend­ ent of school in Davie: "Community leaders, always a precious asset, can ill be spared in any town or locality, but when one of the calibre of Charles C. Erwin leaves the city and county we all suffer an im­ measurable loss. "For two decades he has been going up and down Rutherford county, and the adjoining coun,- tles, lending his weight to every civic, religious and educational program of merit. A talented speaker, possessed with a vibrant personality and a strong sense of Justice, he has always been found on the right side of every question, using his full infiuencu for the development of every worthwhile endeavor. ‘Rutherford county Is poorer ■by his leaving to assume the su- perlntendency of Davle county schools. But the move is in the nature of a promotion, which lie so richly deserves, and Davle county gains a citizen ot worth, and one whom they can take to their hearts without question.

Half of Fruit Crop in Sight Unless the fruit crop is further damaged after this is written on, the afternoon of April 5, the chances are that Davie will have half a fruit crop this year. This is the con­ clusion that George Hobson, county agent, has reached after making a tour of the county on last Wednesday. AU of the damage thus far was not from the cold weather this week, when the tempera­ ture reached 26, but also from previous damage. In the greatest encirclement since Stalingrad, the Third army of Russia is now only 14 miles from Odessa and in a flanking drive to the northwest they have cut the last direct railroad escape route for more than 100,000 Germans pinned in a narrow salient out from Odessa. It now appears that the Russians are winning the big­ gest victory of the war. The Russian Second army is pour­ ing into Rumania on a 50*mile front between Dorohoi and Iasi. The Second army has overrun more localities in the Odessa area and are tightening their seige on the prize port of Odessa. The First army is near Kovel and Lwow in old Poland and in the Carpathian foothills near the passes into Hungary. A Soviet announcement said that in less than a month the Germans had suffered a loss of 183,310 killed and 24,- 930 captured, in addition to 2,187 tanks and big guns and thousands of other precious military items. The situation in the Balkans is growing more tense each day. U. S. bombers smashed targets in Bucharest, Rumanian capital, and Russian troops are only 200 miles from this capital. . An unconfirmed report from Turkey says that Ru­ mania is seeking an'armistice from the Allied nations. Meanwhile the Reds are about to cut the last major railroad out of Odessa at the key junction of Razdelnaya, all but trapping tens of thousands of Germans in the southern tip of the Ukraine. RUSSIA WANTS NO TERRITORY Indicating that the Allied political front is now bet­ ter joined. Foreign Commissar Molotov in his flrst press conference with all of the foreign correspondents in Mos­ cow announced that the Russians did not want any Ru­ manian territory and that the Russian advances into Ru­ mania were dictated by military necessity. BUDAPEST IS BOMBED Also indicating tl)'e Allied military plans against Hit­ ler are synchronized. Italian-based U. S. bombers smashed an aircraft plant and rail installations in Budapest, Hun­ garian capital, on Monday. FIGHTING IN PACIFIC Admiral Nimitz said that ten more atolls in the Mar­ shalls have fallen into our hands. Truk has been bombed ten times in five days and it appears that our next big move will be against this Jap bastion. Last Thursday our bombers struck Palau and radio silence is still being maintained until reports of the action will be of no value to the, enemy. Correspondents from the Pacific hint that the report will show more damage to the Japs than was expected. ^ WILLKIE WITHDRAWS FROM RACE Smashed in a Winsconsin primary that did not give him a single delegate, Wendell Willkie announced Wed­ nesday night that he had withdrawn from the race as a Republican presidential candidate. It is expected that he will throw his strength to Stassen. Thomas E. Dewey, wha received 18 of the 24 Wisconsin votes although he asked that his name not be placed on the ballot, has emerged as No. 1 Republican candidate. FINNS DO NOT PASS ON PEACE Possibilities of a peace with Finland by Easter have been abandoned. The Finnish parliament met in Helsinki Monday night but apparently did not discuss the new and more lenient Soviet peace terms, AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION Topping 9,000 for the flrst time, this country turned out 9,118 airplanes in March.

Mrs. Donnelly pointed out that this is one of the ipolnts In the program of the society, which is supported by the annual sale of Easter seals, now In progress. "If we put a physically handi­ capped worker on a Job that he can do and do well, the result will be that his physical condi­ tion will remain satisfactory and he will continue to make a contribution to the nation’s wel­ fare,” Mrs. Donnelly said. "On the other hand. If we recklessly put him in a job for which he Is badly equipped both physically and mentally, he may quite Innocently sabotage the productive effort rather than help it, and equally bad, he may crack up physically and become a burden rather than an asset to the (iommunify.’’ The Davie county chapter Is making an effort to cooperate with all agoiicles, both public and private, to exploit to the full the community resources for the proper placement of the crippled and disabled In the remunera­ tive jobs, Mrs. Donnelly said, "Physically handicapped work­ ers can make a vital contribu­ tion to the war effort if we exer­ cise an ordinary amount of Judgment in placing them,” she concluded.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, APRIL 7,1944 .THE MOCKSVILLE ENTERPRISE Published Every Friday at Moclcsville, Nortli Carolina O. C. McQUAOE .......................................... Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 12.00 Per Year Inside of Davie County—$2.50 Per Year Outside of Davie County. Strictly Payable in Advance. Kntered at the Post Office at Moeksvllle, N. G., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congress of'March 8, 1879. lAiie The recent change In the draft law means that there are many boys on Davie farms between 18 and 26 who will soon be called into service. Maj. Tom Ferabee spent a good deal of his precious sol­ dier’s leave speaking for the Red Cross. He makes ^ome of * us at home feel ashamed for doing so little. What worries us so much Is not that there are two political parties In America, but the manner In which members of both parties have been conducting themselves of late. It Is with^ln the right of every man to support the candidate of his choice, the party of his choice, and the principles which he upholds, but there goes with that right the responsibility for him to do so in a gentlemanly manner, in fairness, and with marshalled facts, not his pet prejudices. The doings In congress have not furnished an inspiring example to the nation, but the congress reflects, ill large measure, the people who elected them. They are a part of the world of today, which is torn and disorgan­ ized; they are also human beings whose nerves are suffer­ ing from the perplexing problems and the general con­ fusion surrundlng them. We would not write of these things but for the fact lhat they are of serious concern. By creating more con­ fusion and more strife we may plunge our country into trouble which will make the war Itself look small. Now is a time for patience, foi: restraint, for sober weighing of .words before they are uttered. Our common sense, If noth­ ing else, should tell us that we cannot sow seeds of discord and strife and expect to reap victory and peace. There will continue to be differences of opinion among us as to the methods used, but it would help a lot if we would remember and focus attention upon, our common goal. There should be no differences there. Our goal is to make better people and a better world—and that does . not mean a better world for a few people, but for ¿11 the peoples of the world- If that is not our goal then we are fighting this war in vain. It means opportunities for phy­ sical, economic, mental, moral and spiritual development and enrichment of life for all peoples, and that no group shall so organize its life as to deprive the humblest child of his rights»and privileges. Each of us and all of us, must accept the responsibility which goes with our privileges, and that responsibility includes the privilege and the duty of the strong to help the weak. TTils is the ideal inherent ill bolli Chrlsllanily and Democracy. The Enterprise has never shared the opinions and pre­ dictions of those who looked for an easy end to this war, through some Internal collapse In Oermany. One of the things of which we have been certain Is the ability and the Will of Germany to continue flghting. Our soldiers in Italy ave discovering that hard fact, and the folk back home are just beginning to be sobered by the grim reality of it. A long, hard road lies between us and victory. Russia has been one of the t)ig surprises in this war. It is because, perhaps, we have just begun to see into Rus­ sia. The transformation of Russia within is as marvelous as the accomplishments upon the battlefield. We had re­ tained so many memories of the early days of revolution, that it was hard to realize the changes that were taking place. We are prone to forget that with the corruption and injustices of the old regime, both in Church and State, only a terrible revolution could break those powers and provide for a fresh start. A real Democracy is emerging in Russia, and the whole world is beginning to realize that it is a new and powerful Russia with whom we shall have , to deal with after the war. One thing we must not forget: But for Russia Hitler would now be master of Europe and well on the road to world mastery—the thing he had planned. The Allied world owes a great debt to Russia., Those who object to cur aid to Russia might well reflect upon where we would be at the moment if Russia had not helped us mightily. W A U YO im CM tRO n I f YOU W A H T TO «R O W UP TO 8 Б А в 1 6 HUSKY R IV E T fR L IK E Y O U R M O T H B R r State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT N. C. Stat« Colleg« When buying clothes, buy them big enough. It’s better to buy a dress a size larger and have It altered to fit trmlly.and comfortably. Any article of clothing should be loose from the waist up. It should fit comfortably, not plas­ ter tight. Clothes should not pull against the chest, the dla- phram or the back. Money spent on expertly fitted clothes Is not wasted., Drooping hem lines, sagging seams, pull across the middle, or hanging off shoulder seams can’t make a well-groomed appear­ ance. What about our skirt lengths? Straight skirts should be longer because without fullness they naturally pull up when you sit down, knees aren’t pretty. Oored skirts can be shorter because of the extra fullness. Good posture along with well> fitted clothes can do a great deal to Improve our looks. Celery tops may be chopped fine and put Into a meat or sal­ mon loaf to give it a piquant flavor. Some cooks like to lay celery leaves on top of a roast while it Is cooking. The tops may also be cooked with the stalks for soup. Tops may be kept for later use by washing them thorough­ ly, then drying and putting them In a paiper sack. Are you having trouble with a warped skillet? Here’s the remedy. Heat slowly for ten minutes, turn upside down and place a piece of wood over the entire bottom. Hammer on the wood until the skillet is flat. If the bulge Is toward the Inside of the skillet, hammer on the In- sli^c. To prevent warping, do not pour cold water on a hot skillet. FEED A FIGHTER The North Carolina Bankers association has oUered one hun­ dred $25 war bonds, one to each county, to 4-H club members with the best record in the 1944 "Feed a Fighter” program. LAYERS Farm laying flocks in the U. S. are about 5 per cent higher than last year, giving a record pro­ duction. North, Carolina egg markets áre flooded and house­ wives are asked to eat more eggs, a mighty cheap source of protein. WATERMELONS It appears that farmers, will plant about one and a half times as many watermelons this year as last. The acreage in North 'Carolina will toe up 2,300 acrcs but will be about 2,600 acres less than normal! TIMBER If a constructive forest^pro- 3ram Is followed now, Including sustained yield management, in­ creased flre protection, and other necessary measures, it will re­ sult in fine dividends after the, war, report extension foresters. OUR DEMOCRACY -by Mat FULL PRESSUt^E IS N£EO£!>- M L MEALS North Carolina farmers are be­ ing allocated about five times as much soybean oil meal as cot­ tonseed meal. It's a fine source of protein for cattle, sheep, and :Uogs, report State college spe­ cialists. Last week election Interest lay iu learning what the Sooner fttate had sooner do. POULTRY The State college extension service has recently held 11 poultry schools and egg shows at dilterent points in the state. The total attendance was 621 farmers and the egg exhibits were 173.

A JOKE A DAY Sariatorlum Visitor: “What an Interesting place you have here I Truly, half the world Is Ignorant of how the other hall lives.” Patient: "Not in this sana­ torium, ma’am. Not here!” Absent-minded ex-patlent as he drives into service station: “Check my tires.” Attendant: "How much air do you take?” Ex-'patlent: "Oh, about 500 cc’s.” Sin Wah: "Doctor, what time you flxee teeth for me?” Doctor: “Two-thirty— all right?” Sin Wah; -Yes, tooth hurty, all right, but what time you flxee?” A chap with bad eyesight was examined by the draft medico and placed in 1-A. “But my eyes are terrible,” he pointed out. “I can iiardly see anything,” Said the doctor, "We don’t ex­ amine eyes any more—we just count them.” A little colored boy going through a cemetery read this Inscription on a tombstone: “Not dead, but sleeping.” Scratching his head, and pon­ dering, he finally said, "He sure ain’t foolin' nobody but hisself.” Housewife (to garbage man): “Am I too late for the garbage?” Garbage man: "No ma’am; jump right In.” No Celling Here It's difficult to date women war workers. They aren’t satis­ fied wtth a good time—they want time and a half. Not Suspicious “You say that the defendant stole your money from your stockings?” "Yes, your honor.” “Why didn’t you resist?” "How should I know that he was after my money?" Overheard In the Moonllg[ht “Honey, I’ll give you a dollar if you’ll kiss me.” “Okeh, go ahead.” Two minutes later. “I’ll give you two dollars if you’ll let me put my arms around you.” “Okeh.” Ten minutes later.

AIR WAR OVER EUROPE The softening up of Hitler’s Europe from the air con­ tinues by Britain and this country. U. S. bombers dropped more than 30,000 tons on Germany and the occupied coun­ tries last month. Qlven favorable weather, It is antici­ pated that the bombings will soon reach a pre-invasion high. FOOD RATIONING NEWS From now on all food stamps will be good indefinitely, unless advance notice of expiration is given, the Office of' Price Administration has announced. House wives may budget their food purchases on the basis of three red'10- point stamps every second Sunday and five blue 10-point stamps the first of every month. To release cold storage space for other foods, all frozen fruits and vegetables will not be rationed through April 29. Lard will remain un­ rationed, ready-to-eat hams will be one point lower, “dry- cured” hams are to be only one point above fresh hams, and other meat point values will remain almost unchanged. Food expected to 'be in good supply over most of the country during the next three months are potatoes, cabbage, spin­ ach, lettuce and other leafy greens, carrots, beets, citrus fruits, canned green and wax beans, tomatoes and other fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables, shell eggs, fluid milk, flour, noodles and spaghetti. The War Food Administration says each civilian will have on the average 132 pounds of meat in 1944 or one pound more than he had on the average, yearly during the decade, 1931-1940. DRAFT RECLASSIFICATIONS In an effort to assure a continuing supply of young men for the armed forces without iiiducting those who are Indispensable in war activities, the National Selective Ser­ vice System has ordered preinduction physical examina­ tions for all Class II-A and II-B occupationally deferred registrants under 26 *who have not been physically exam­ ined. Local boards have been ordered to review cases of registrants under 26 in classes III-A, II-A, II-B, II-C, and III-C before reconsidering registrants 26 through 37 years of age. Registrants under 26 in III-A II-A, II-B and III-C are to be reviewed, and if such action is warranted are to be reclassified regardless of existing deferment termina­ tion dates. Registrants under 26 found unfit for military service or fit for limited military serylce only may be re­ classified into II-A or II-B provldde4hey are contrbiuting to war production or war supporting activities. MORE NEWS ABOUT TIRES More tires will be rationed for small trucks and farm > tractors and Implements in April than in March, but sub­ stantially fewer than in April, last year, OPA says. April quotas of new and used passenger tires are the same as for March, and the new passenger tube quota is 7.2 per cent over March. Meanwhile the War Food Administration urges farmers to wlthold appeals for conversion of tractors from steel wheels to rubber tires except ’in cases of ex­ treme hardships, and suggests that many old tractor tires can be reconditioned. 'Standard sizes of civilian highway truck tires will now have 35 per cent less crude rubber and more synthetic, according to the Office of Rubber Director, which says that the synthetic program can ful-' fill our military requirements, for tires’. PLANS FOR FARM TRANSPORTATION Plans for getting farm produce to market and supplies to farms by motor truck Include use of one farmer’s truck to do what several farmers’ trucks formerly did, the Office of Defense Transportation says. Wasteful practices ODT frowns upon Include: transporting farm produce beyond nearest practicable market; operating empty vehicles when a full or partial load Is available; operating with less than a full load where a regular collection service is available; , operating in scheduled service over highways likely to ;( cause undue wear; use of heavy or large vehicle when a lighter one is available and suitable; and hauling persons when other transportation is available. ODT and WFA officials are now explaining the ODT program in a series of regional meetings. ROUND-UP OPA action provide that: Ten thousand new passen-. ger automobiles and 12,000 new adult bicycles will be available for April rationing . . . Increased celling prices for southern produced cordwood match previously an­ nounced 50-cent to $1.10 per cord Increases for puipwood, and increases in ceiling prices for puipwood produced in northeastern States range up to $2.75 a cord . . . Pickled, spiced and brandied fruits will be restored to rationing in June to prevent large diversion of fresh fruits into these higher priced products . . . Retailers of cosmetics and toiletries may continue to pass on the recently increased Federal excise tax to consumers. ... Ill persons may quick­ ly receive extra amounts of rationed foods they need through special handling of applications for sudh extra rations. Agricultural workers from Newfoundland will be brought to the Northeastern states, prirtiarily for em­ ployment on dairy farms, WFA announces. ф | But we didn’t know that the Truman committee was sup­ posed to determine what makes the war machinery politick.

Saving Food Is Everyone’s Job “The average family throws away about 400 pounds of good food annually and to stop most of this waste we must make the saving of food everyone’s Job,” say home demonstration special­ ists at N. C. State college. They report that after a mod­ est dinner, attended by 81 peo­ ple, the good edible food from the plates was saved and weigh­ ed. It totaled 17 pounds. ’The specialists suggest that more clean-<plate clubs be organ* Ized and that children in the home be taught to make a game of cleaning their plaites and sav­ ing food so that there may be more food for our armies and starving people in other coun­ tries. They point out that while food losses occur all the way from the harvesting of the fOod in the fleld to the table, much can stiU be accomplished by making the saving of food a Job for every member of the household. They suggest that housewives give particular thought to the utilization of all the food which they buy and also to the use of leftovers. Many attractive dishes may be easily prepared from food left over from the preced­ ing meal. They also suggest that chil­ dren be taught to eat all of the different kinds of food that are put before them and that now is a good time to Inipess upon them the Importance of saving all the food possible. “We have rationing of food but It has not become necessary to make the wasting of food a penal offense as in England,” the specialists commented.

Wescott, vegetable mar­ keting specialist with the State Department of Agriculture warns producers, handlers and con­ sumers of fresh vegetables and fruits of an impending serious shortage ot containers and con­ tainer materials. He said that the War Produc­ tion Board, the Office of Dls- itrlbutlon and other State and Federal agencies are unanlmoiis In the oplnioh that "after all measures have been taken to supply containers to producers of fruits and vegetalbles, the shoijtage will become progress­ ively more critical as the market­ ing season approaches." Housewives may render a great service, Wescott asserted, by re­ turning all wooden containers to the merchants for re-use. Wescott declared that crates, boxes, baskets and hampers should be “out" as kindling wood and basement and attic junk If they are In condition to be used again. Pointing out that there Is a shortage of wood and labor for the manufacture of new con­ tainers, Wescott said; “Each farmer In No(;th Carolina grow­ ing products requiring contain­ ers should begin today to obtcdn containers wherever ‘he can find them.

Signed by Ernest E. Norris, president ot the railway, the prize winning advertisement emphasizes the contribution which railway employes are making to the war effort by their unrelenting toll—keeping the wheels rofjiing under the biggest transportation load in all the long history of the Southern Railway System. Concluding his complimentary messagb to the Southern’s 45,- 000 employes, Mr. Norris said: "It’s a big job . . . a tough job . . . a vital job. But it’s being done . . . and done rlghtl That’s why the men and women ot the Southern are tired when they go home from the Job these days . . . and ‘proud of it’.” This advertisement appeared in the May 7, 1943, issue ot The Enterprise. FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Q. How can I save on feed­ ing baby chicks? A. Use all the green fed pos­ sible to save on mash and grain, suggests C. F. Parrish, extension poultry specialist at State col­ lege, Careful feeding practices can save you ten pounds ot feed per bag. Feed plenty of good mash. A supply of grit helps to save teed. Providing a supply of fresh water Is an essential practice. When a chick gets sick, separate it from the flock at once and And out what is wrong from a reliable source. Start proper control measures and be sure to follow through on the program. Overseas Pfc.

About 24 drops is the right amount and a little practicc will enable an operator to guess at the amount to be used. Q, Should cattle be fed to a real good flnLsh? A. The fattening ot cattle to excessive finish, as was common a few years ago, Is a wasteiul and unpatriotic practice under present conditions, says Dr. J. E. Foster, in charge ot beef cattle research for the experiment sta­ tion at State collège. He points out that ¿alns during the latter part ot such a feeding period are slow and expensive, and that most ot the fat so produced is not consumed by humans. “To produce more meat is not enough.

C., FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1944 “ '11 The County News For Everybody”NO. 29 SEIECTIVE SERVICE HEAD SAYS MOST MEN UNDER 26 ON FARMS BE DRAFTED All registrants under 26 years of age who have not been ex­ amined by the armed forces within the past 90 days ^ylll be ordered to report for pre-lnduc- tlon physical examination, an­ nounced Oen. J, Van B. Metts, Ekte director of selective service, [the general stated that local oards have just been furnished illrectlves to that elTect and that members of his staff are at pres­ ent conducting a series of re­ gional conferences to discuss this policy as It affects occupa­ tional and agricultural defer- , ments. He pointed out that the directive was for the purpose of accelerating the processes of In­ duction of younger men to meet the urgent needs of the armed services and to provide the di­ rector of selective service and employers with Infdrmatlon re­ garding those who are not ac­ ceptable for military servlc.e. The state director advises that a registrant, If found acceptable the armed forces, might still be granted an occupational defer­ ment, provided a Form 42-A Special, approved by the state director having Jurisdiction over the principal place of employ­ ment, Is received by the local board prior to the registrant’s .actual Induction."In view of dl- ^rectlves from national selective service headquarters, Metts an­ ticipates that few Forms 42-A Special will be filed, as present indications are that they will be restricted to the following vital war activities: Landing craft, tires and tubes, high tenacity rayon for war products, aircraft, airborne radar, rockets, subma­ rines, transportation and pos­ sibly a few others. AGRICULTURAL DEFERMENTS With regard to agriculture, the general stated that it seems to be the prevailing thought that the withdrawal of the war unit plan for measuring agricultural activities would liberalize farm deferments. Metts stated this to be an erroneous construction, since the unit system was only a means of measuring the value of the registrant’s farming ef­ fort in applying the Tydlngs , amendment, which is still In ef ( feet. The Tydlngs amendment to the selective training and service act provides, in general, only that deferments be granted to those registrants who In the judgment of ttie local boards are ’ regularly engaged in agri­ cultural occupation or endeavor which Is essential to the war ef­ fort. The general pointed out that the directives which have been issued to the local boards have stressed the national need for young fighting men for the armed forces, as formerly stated by the president and later re­ iterated by General Marshall and others responsible for the best utilization of our manpower in the successful prosecution of the war effort. Metts stated that the directive to .the local boards provided that in determining whether a registrant is neces­ sary to an agricultural occupa­ tion or endeavor they should bear in mind the national sit uation and need for young men in the armed forces. He went on to say that the local boards were instructed that, in deter» mining the question of euentlRl- ity of the agricultural endeavor, (Continued on pagt I) Red Cross Has $7,500 Total donations to the Red Cross In Davie county to date Is about $7,500 on the goal of 99,000, It Is announced by J. H. Thompmn, chairman. Because of the recent bad weather many have not been solicited and Mr, Thompeon points out that donations may still be made to the local work­ ers or at the headquarters In the courthouse. A total of $200 was col­ lected through the solicita­ tions at the Princess theatre, It Is reported by Frank Fow­ ler, and B. T. Murfree and the Rev. Mr. Massey turned in $ZiS for the colored people. It Is hoped to have a final compilation next week. Cooleemee contributions am­ ount to 91,548 already turned in and an additional $703 pledged. Political Parties Making Up Slates Political candidates of both parties in Davie county have un­ til Saturday evening at sunset of this week to file their candi­ dacies. Meanwhile some of the ten­ tatively suggested candidates for both sides, subject to revi­ sion, are; REPUBLICAN County commissioners: R. P. Martin, local merchant, Charlie Ward of Smith Grove and Don­ ald Reavls of Clarksville: regis­ ter of deeds, Charlie R. Vogler of Advance; house of represen­ tatives, R. V. Alexander of Cooleemee; surveyor, Sam Tal­ bert of Advance. DEMOCRATIC County commissioners: B. C. Tatum and I. O. Roberts, for re- election; Ben Boyles of Mocks­ ville to succeed T. O. Cartner, who is not a candidate for re- election; register of deeds, Tom Webb of Cooleemee. As this is written nobody has been se­ lected by party leaders as a can­ didate for the house of represen­ tatives. There is no race for sheriff nor clerk of superior court this year.

Marvin Smith, dairyman at Smith Grove, were destroyed by fire from lightning last Tuesday aft­ ernoon about 2 o’clock. A large quantity of mixed feed In the barn was also destroyed. The cattle were in the lot ad­ joining the barn and were not harmed. One of the barns was con­ structed last fall. During the hail and rainstorm which hit this section Tuesday afternoon lightning hit a tree near the barn and ran into the building through the light wire. It is understood that the buildings were insured. Mr. Smith was in bed at home recuperating from an operation, having returned from the hos­ pital only last Saturday. While Davie did not appear to be in the wake of the heaviest hall, some residents of adjacent Tyro in 'Davidson reported that hail stones nearly as large as eggs fell and did considerable damage to automobiles. There was considerable land washed In this section from the heavy downpour during the afternoon and Tuesday night. Circulation of Libriary 1,405 Total circulation for the Davie library In March was 1,405, ac­ cording to Miss Lillie Meroney. There were 35 new members reg­ istered during the month. Miss Meroney points out that the library is for the use of everybody in the county. It is located on the second floor of the Sanford building and Is open each Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 5 p. m. and on Sat­ urdays from 10 to noon and 1 to 5 p. m. One of tlie most useful books in the library is the 1944 set of World Book Encyclopedias in which an answer to most any question can be found. And the Old Man will'see his Easter pay raid when the bills come in around the first of the month. NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By G. W. McCLELLAN Tilton Angell, near Mocksville, has seven acres of alfalfa that is just about perfect. He did all of the necessary requirements to succeed with alfalfa including applying commercial borax, lime, fertilizer and inoculation of seed. Robert Lee Seaford, near Fork, is making plans for treating two acres for seeding alfalfa next fall. The field he has decided to start on 'is steep and the yields of other crops have been expen­ sive due to erosion every time he plowed it up. Mr. Seaford is certainly contributing a good part In the war effort in several ways. G. K. Husser, near Fork, is making progress with pastures, cows ,and crops. He has devel­ oped a good sod on some very steep hills that were In broom sage four years ago. He did this by liming, fertilizing and apply­ ing manure. LIMESTONE ORDER.S • All persons who are interested in receiving limestone as con­ servation material in 1944 should place their orders as early as possible with the AAA office. The supply of lime is adequate, but transportation facilities are not. It is unlikely that all or­ ders can be ifllled, and It will be a first come, first serviced affair. LIEUT.

Milk producers will please hold their March evi­ dence of sales until they receive their April statements and turn both In together. The rate pay­ ment for this period will be 80 cents a hundred pounds. SLAUGHTERING HOGS The war food administration has extended Indevnltely the period in which farme» can slaughter hogs and deliver pork to otftiers without a permit. Both from Italy and England the greatest air assault in history was In progress this week for the necessary pre­ invasion softening up of Hitler's Europe. Principal targets were aircraft assembly plants, railroad centers and instal­ lations. When the British and American bombers and fighters struck at the invasion coast of France and Belgium over a wide area there was little opposition from the Oem an fighters. But when the Nazis chose to defend some spot, there was hard fighting and heavy loss of planes on both sides. Many observers agree that Germany still has a power­ ful air force that is being hoarded to use against Allied ti’oops and ships when the second front is opened. Allied military leaders in London have permitted correspondents to state that the invasion date has already been settled. REDS TAKE ODESSA In a surprisingly' sudden victory^'the Russian .Third Ukrainian army took Odessa, seventh largest city in Rus- ^a, from the Germans on last Monday. The town had been held by the Germans since the fail of 1941 when it was taken by the Nazis after two months of fighting. Another Soviet army has already started an attack against the Crimea where perhaps 100,000 Nazi troops have been bottled up since last November. Four powerful Soviet armies are now on the march along the 600-mile southern front stretching from the Black sea to the Czech border. It appears that the German high command took a . gamble that the Russians would not be able to bring up supplies in the spring mud arid that they have lost. Ger­ many now faces what she had long feared: a war on two fronts. She must defend the Ploesti oil fields where she gets a third o^all her fuel and at the same time prepare for the second front in Europe. After taking Odessa the Reds are sweeping, through the Crimea at a pace that promises its liberation within a matter of days. It does not appear that the estimated 150,- 000 Germans and Rumanians in the Crimea will put up a fight for Sevastopol as did the Russians in spite of Hitler’s purported order to hold the peninsula at all cost. Stalin has been in a hurry to capture the Ukraine and Crimea in time to plant this year’s wheat crop. Mud did not stop him. ^ FIGHTING IN PACIFIC v Striking to within 550 miles of the Philippines, our Pacific fleet scored its biggest victory of the war at Palau,. Yap, Woleai and Ulithi islands by sinking or damaging 40 Jap ships and destroying or damaging 214 planes. Air bases on Hollandia, Wewak and Hansa Bay oh the northern coast of New Guinea, Raibaul, New Britain and Kayieng, New Ireland, were hit by our big bombers. An estimated 40,000 Japs are reported retreating to the northeastern tip of New Britain island. HARD FIGHTING IN INDIA Hard fighting is in progress for Kohima, Allied strong­ hold 35 miles from the Bengal-Assam railroad in Eastern India. Tokyo claimed this key town had been taken by the .Taps but Allied headquarters said British and Indian troops had hurled back a Jap attack that penetrated the town’s outer ring of fortifications. 48-HOUR WEEK FOR TEXTILES EfYective May 14,.the cotton textile industry will be­ gin working 48 hours a week, according to an order fitcni War Manpower Chairman Paul MoNutt.

W. H. Poole, who has 80,000 trees, said his peaches escaped damage and' other orchardists reported only "spotted damage.” "We stood it pretty well Mon­ day night, but if Tuesday night is still, we may lose everythmg,” said Poole. A slight westerly wind played among the orchards throughout the entire area and prevented the frost from getting a firm hold on the peaches, otherwise the entire crop might have been rulnedi 'the reports said. Harry Westcott, fruits and vegetable marketing specialist with the department, said that the first of three killing frosts which cut the peach crop to less than'20 per cent of normal last, spring occurred one year ago to­ day. Meanwhile, the weather bu­ reau here predicted that the temperature , in the sandhills counties would likely go as low as 28 degrees. In Chadbourn, C. L. Tate, who is in charge of the strawberry market there, asserted that the strawberry crop had not been in­ jured, but tl^at the weather was colder In vicinity Wednesday than on Tuesday night. Another still cold night, he said, would reduce the crop "considerably.” He added that plans now are to begin the marketing of this year’s strawberry crop on April 15. The fact that North Carolina’s early vegetable crop has not been Injured by the cold weather Is diie to the fact "most of It has not been planted,” department marketing specialists said. A report from Bertie county stated that "not more than ten acres have been turned In the entire county.” In Columbus, Robeson and ad­ joining counties, plowing Is from three to eight weeks behind schedule and "virtually noth­ ing” has been planted, the de­ partment was Informed. Mrs. R. L.

Maybe he meant it ;would all be over but the flghting. • ' If there is anything in the theory of subsoil moisture Davie will be blessed this summer. Some folks say the predictions on the fruit crop this year iiave been too pessimistic. We hope so; then nobody 'Will be disappointed. One thing you can say for the revision of the draft laws: The army and navy evidently operates on the theory fhat they will prepare for a long war and hope for a short one. I Russia has been setting a good example by keeping quiet and "sawing wood.’,’ Russian communiques do not predict; thiy relate happenings and achivements. Rus* sia, of course, keeps silent about her losses, but they must be tremendous. The part which Russia is playing in this war will give her the right to. say much about future set tlements. We are nofr in position to do much dictating terms until we have a greater share in winning the victory. Of course, we have helped Russia much in other ways, but our place at.the Peace Table will depend much upon our military contribution. The latest speech of Winston Churchill was a disap­ pointment to those people who were expecting the old war­ rior to pull a victory raibbit out of the hat. But Churchill Is not in the habit of holding out false hopes, or making extravagant promises. He is one man who has told us con­ sistently that victories are won with blood, sweat and tears —not pulled out of a magician’s hat. In that hb has shown ^eat wisdom. Multitudes of prophets have already been discredited. We should take most of them with liberal sprinklings of salt. Here is one among the many which was so glibly made by the isola­ tionists, and swallowed by many unthinking people. It is Charles Lindbergh speaking in 1041. He said; "The claim that the American and British production of aircraft will soon excel German production is not true___The idea that England, with our assistance, can equal Germany’s strength in the air by 1942 or 1943 is a complete fallacy___ Germany has a head start and from the standpoint of re- seai'ch and production alone it will require years to over­ take her. No matter how many planes we build in Amer­ ica and send to England, we cannot make the British Isle stronger than Germany in military aviation.” That was a man, who, because he had flown a plane across the ocean was adjudged by many, and certainly by himself, to be an expert with the last word in aviation. How thoroughly his prophecy has been discredited all the world knows. Certainly, Hitler, Goering and all the rest of the Nazi crew know it. They know it in Berlin, and many other German cities. It was quite some company that Lindbergh was keeping in those days ,as perusual of “Un­ der Cover” will reveal. They have been fully discredited, yet there are still some Americans who follow the phantom prophecies of the Peace Now Movement, and other similar pro-Nazi sympathizers. TURKEY FOOT Pvt.

Anzio Beachhead, Italy March 26, 1944. Hello Walt: Just thought I'd drop you a few lines to let you know that. In spite of all those news com mentators who had us marching Into Rome a couple months ago, we're still here on the beach' head much to the disgust of the kraut. ‘The heats still on, but the scene has changed a lot since we hit the beach here 64 days ago. I’m not talking about the houses which have been blown off the landscape. This time it’s about the weather. Every third day Is spring now. In between times we get our rain, and how It rains! But, thanks to those regularly appearing days of sunshine. Naturally every man among us Is speculating on the time when the big show will open, and I hope it’s soon. Then old Hitler's going to start digging his foxhole even deeper. Well, that’s all for this time. Keep your eye on the map and stick a pin along the Italian coast about 25 miles south of Rome. That’s our piece of land. But make sure to have a box full of extra pins handy, because one of these days our little piece of land Is going to start to grow. Then Just watch the newspapers and the tracks we make In the mud, Hope to hear from you soon. As ever, Jake. FORK Franklin Coe Boger, son of Pvt.

" A JOKE A DAY Four young men visiting the Orient before the war, who con­ sidered themselves very clever, had' a Chinese servant upon whom they played all sorts of pranks. One night they nailed his shoes to the floor. The next morning, without a word or sign of retaliation, he brought in their coflee. ^ Next day they put sand In his bed. The next morning he served their coffee smiling blandly, with no trace of resent­ ment In his attitude. So they decided to play no more tricks on such a good fel­ low ,and told him so. “No more nallee shoes to floor?” “No.” "No more putee sand in bed?” “No." “Velly well, no more putee mud in coffee." A city girl went swimming In the nude In a secluded mill pond. Along came a little boy, who started to tie knots In her clothes. Grabbing an old wash tub and holding It In front of her she said: “You little l^ratl Do you know what I’m think­ ing?" Little Brat: “Yes, you think there's a bottom in that tub." “Must I stick this stamp on myself?" asked a woman In the post office, "You may if you wish," an­ swered the clerk, "However, It will accomplish more If you stick It on the envelope.” Said the countryman to the dentist: “I won't pay nothing extra for gas. Just pull It out, even If It does hurt.” "You are very brave, sir. Let me 3^ the tooth,” "Oh, ’taln't me that’s got the toothache; It’s my wife. She'll be here in a minute.” And there was the small son who pleaded: "Listen, Pop, ;i need an encyclopedia for school.” To which the stern parent re­ plied: “Encyclopedia I Nonsense I You can walk to sohool Just as I had to do.” FULTON Mr. it Mrs. Clarence Liven­ good of North Wilkesboro were visitors here Sunday and Mon­ day, Mildred Frye, Javell Young and Bonnie Rose Frye spent the weekend at Lexington with Mr, St Mrs, Raymond Livengood, Mr. Sc Mrs, Lester Young and son, 'Nelson, visited Oeorge Young Sunday afternoon, Mr, Young Is a patient at the City hospital, Winston-Salem.

Yep, even F. D. R. hasn’t remembered to replace her. MORE ABOUT W A R N E W S HULL DEFINES U. S. POLICY ф | Secretary of State Hull says that this country, Britain, Russia and China must stick together if peace is enduring. He asked congress to select a bi-partisan committee to help plan an international organization to maintain peace; in­ dicated that neutral countries that are helping the Axis would get rougher treatment; s&id boundary questions could not be settled imtil after the war; supported De- Gaulle’s French committee of national llberatton only to the extent that it exercise civil leadership under General Isenhower as France Is being liberated and until that country can choose its own leaders; said there would be no negotiated peace by the Allies. NEED FOR MANPOWER CON’ONUES Although the United States army has reached its planned for peak strength of 7,700,000 persons, It will need 75.000 to 100,000 men monthly to maintain that strength, according^ to the war department, and the navy depart­ ment said it would need 400,000 additional personnel by September 1 to get the navy ,marine corps and coast guard up to peak strength, of 3,500,000. Meanwhile, the national selective service system has abandoned the wan imit plan^ for determining agricultural deferments. Provisions con-, cernlng a registrant’s agricultural occupation or endeav that will govern are whether he is necessary, whether is regularly engaged in it, whether that occupation or enl deavor is necessary to the war effort and whether a re^ placement can be obtained. JOBS FOR DISCHARGED VETERANS For men discharged from any of the United States armed services ,a summary of Job opportunities In 114 major industrial centers will be placed in nearly every local U. S. employment service office, the war manpower commission announces. These Job summaries give infor­ mation on types of Jobs, scheduled hours of work, hourly wage rates, availability of housing, cost of living, and the adequacy of community facilities such as schools, hospi­ tals, and transportation. The summary will be revised bi­ monthly and will indicate the expected labor demand six months in advance. SPECIAL GASOLINE RATIONS Full time paid employes of farm organizations operat­ ing to increase food production are eligible for preferred mileage under gasoline rationing, the OPA announced. Their organizations must be chartered by the United States, or by a state and have a membership of at least 100 persons, the majority of whom are farmers. Also, qualified Victory*gardeners again will be granted special gasolinq rations for up to 300 miles of travel to and from their plots' this summer. TEST MOTOR FUEL “DOPES’ , Shortage of gasoline, says the department of com­ merce ,has led motorists to use fuel "dopes,” reputed to in­ crease mileage and otherwise improve the automobile op­ eration. The bureau of standards has tested hundreds of them without flndlng beneflcial results in any case. ROUND-UP The war food administration says: The public should consume more eggs, at least through mid-May, to take care of an anticipated record production amounting to at least 350 eggs for each civilian during 1944. . . . About 70 per cent of the 1944-45 supply of dehydrated vegetables will be allocated to U. S. war uses, 23 per cent to Great Britain and Russia, 5 per cent to U. S. civilians, 1 per cent to liberated areas and 1 per cent for other exports. WPB says that: A "farm” is a property used primarily for the raising of crops ,livestock, dairy products, poultry, etc., for market, and on such property $1,000 or less may be spent for construction, including the farm house, with-,. out approval--In view of the continued critical 8hortagi|j|| of pulpwood for paper and paperboard, farmers, as well as every full-time woodcutter, should continue to cut as much pulpwood as possible. . . . Some electric alarm clocks and 1.200.000 war. alarm clocks (many for military needs) will be produced and distributed during the second qaurter of 1944___A cut of 10 per cent in civilian leather for shoe re­ pairs and 13 per cent for new shoes has been made for 1944. . . . Production of cutlery made of stainless steel has been permitted and products should be available at retail count­ ers in three to four months, OPA says: Consumers buying meat directly from farmers may continue to use the red stamps, AS through M8, plus the next 18 stamps in Book Four.. . . The over-all 1944 retail prices of early onions will be somewhat above those of 1943, but below the current “going” prices--The retail ceiling price for book matches with non-commercial designs on the cover is 14 cents per box of 50 lx)oks at inde­ pendent stores, and 13 cents, or 2 boxes for 25 cents, at chain stores and super markets. . .. Retail prices of fresh dressed'-halibut were recently reduced for-consumers-in eastern states, and for the flrst time in almost a year ade­ quate supplies in this flsh will be available for consumers living west of the Rocky Mountains. . . . Prices for used automotive parts usable without rebuilding must not ceed 75 per cent of list price for the parts when new, and for parts which must be rebuilt before being usable, must not exceed 30 per cent of thé original list price.

In other states, A-11 coupons are good through June 21. SUGAR Sugar stamps 30 and 31 are good for five pounds indefinitely: FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Q. Is it best to use limestone or land plaster on peanuts? A. State college agronomists advise the use of dolomltlc lime­ stone for Spanish type peanuts. It is safer to use land plaster on Virginia type peanuts where the calcium level is not known and on new peanut land. Use dolom- tlc limestone on soils shown to sugar stamp 40 is good for five be moderately high in calcium by soli test, or where limestone has i^roduced high quality pea­ nuts by field test. Wlhere other crops in the rotation are not heavily fertilized, use 75 pounds of muriate of potash or 300 pounds of 0-10-10, the agronom­ ists advise. Apply the potaSh or 0-10-10 on top of the row as the peanuts break -through the ground. Do not apply when the plants are wet, or to the side of the row where the potash will be thrown up in the bed where the peanuts form. Q. Can you give jne sugges­ tions for getting a good stand of cotton? A. Treat all planting seed with ceresan and be sure Oie seed are of good germination, advise State college agronomists. If wilt is present on your farm, ask your agent or seedsman about wilt-resistant seed. Cot­ ton planted reasonably early has a better chance in the boll weevil flght. Plant flve to six pecks of seed per acre. Plant at a proportionately higher rate, if the seed do not germinate 80 per cent or better. Q, What are the best soybean varieties for oil? A, Wood’s Yellow and Toklo are good standard varieties. Og­ den and Volstate are outstand­ ing new varieties with a good oU content, report State college agronomists. Volstate In partlc ular is quite resistant to shatter­ ing. Do not plant brown or black beans for oil, say the ag­ ronomists. Inoculation of soy­ beans is necessary on fields where the crop has not been previously grown. RECLASSIFIED Greetings. You have been le- classifled and put in 1-A.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, AràlL 14,1944 RmI Awaîlt MarSfiM Aflfr 2Э Days of RghMiig Tired and weary after 23 con­ secutive days and nights ot fightins In the front lines of Cape Gloucester, New Britlan, these Marines, being transferr­ ed for a well-earned rest, are awaiting other members^ of thnlr outfit to Join them.. MORE ABOUT Selective Service they should not lose sight ot the fact that the war effort Itself Is o f paramount importance and that the registrant could hardly be found essential unless his over-ail production contributed Buy And Store Your Boll Weevil Poison Buy your calcium arsenate for boll weevil control now and store it in a dry place, oitherwise you may not be able to get it when the weevil suddenly appears In to the war effort more than his «rvice In the armed forces. He ex pressed a belief that few young men would be granted agridul« tural deferments, in view of the need for young men in the arm* ed forces. The general stated that North Carolina is required to furnish Its proportion of young fighting men and that its resources of manpower have already been drained to the point that the only young men available are those who turn 18 and those presently deferred in agriculture and industry. He expressed the opinion that most of them will be wi,thdrawn from agriculture, since very few have been with­ drawn during the past year’s op­ eration under the unit system, M compared with the large number which were withdrawn at the same time from Industry. As an illustration, he advised that there are 32,000 unmarried men deferred in agriculture as compared with 7,000 unmarried men deferred in Industry. Metts went on to say that the local boards haye been instructed that they must All their calls and furnish their proportionate part of the men for the armed serv­ ices and that he expects a large number of the men under 26 years of age will be withdrawn from agriculture. He went on to say that the local boards in agricultural sections would have no alternative, since the situa­ tion demanded that agriculture should make its proportionate contribution of young manpower to the armed forces as has been made by industry. It is antici­ pated that many of the so-called vlsse J. Myron Maxwell, Exten­ sion entomologist at State Col­ lege. Because of transportation dif­ ficulties and labor dioi<ta«es, growers may not be aible to get the calcium arsenate dust they need. If orders are placed at >the last minute. Supplies of most insecticides are relaltlvely short but growers should be able to get calcium arsenaite for boll weevil control, if orders are placed early and dealers are given plenty of time to get the dust, according to Maxwell. • He points out that the arsenate dust Is used not only in ithe con­ trol of iboll weevil and the cotton leaf worm, but also in controlling the bollworm t hat Infests Texas and adjoining states. Maxwell suggests that growers be on tihe safe side and order enough dust lor the first three appllcaitlons at once and store it in a safe, dry place so that it will be on ihand when needed. Delay in beginning the boll wee­ vil ifight often results in the loss of a crop of cotton. Cotton and its by-products,- oli, meal, and llnters,-find hun­ dreds of used in the war effort. FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Q. Are herbs easy to grow in the North Carolina garden? A. Horticultural and home demonstration workers at State college say that they are. They say that nearly every garden In the early days contained sage, rosemary, caraway or other herbs. These plants require lit­ tle attention, are easily culti vated, relatively hardy, and com­ paratively free from trouble. Q. I hear a great deal about born growing contests over the sttae. Is there a need for more corn? A. There is a great need for all kinds of feed stuffs, accord­ ing to livestock and field crop men of the North Carolina ex­ periment station. The state has made a great Increase in its poultry and livestock population and all,kinds of livestock feeds are vitally and urgently needed. DAIRY COWS A survey in North Carolina reveals that three out of four dairymen do not welgih eaOh cow’s milk at least once a month in order to feed and cull intelli­ gently. subsistence farms will lie idle as a result of present directives. Last Dive of U-Boat Six and a half minutes after siehtlng a U-Boat, British air­ men In one oi the huge Sund­ erland flying boat! of R. A. F. Coastal Command took this picture of it. Blasted by bombs the sub Is dissapperaing be­ neath the waves for the lait time as Nail crewmen swim around In the water (arrow). Q. When should peanuts be planted? A. Dr. E. R. Collins, extension agronomist at State college, ad­ vises planting as near the flrst of May as possible. Of course, all farm work is badly behind at this time but the peanuts should be in the ground by May first. Treat the seed before planting with Arasan or 2 per cent Ceresan. Watch For Mold In Tobacco Plant Beds Recent weather conditions have been fovorable for the de­ velopment of itobacco blue mold and growers should be on the watch for this disease in their plant beds, particularly in the Southeastern counties, warns Howard Qarriss, Extension plant patihoiogist at State College. He points out that spray treat­ ments should begin before the disease makes It^ appearance, if they are to be effeotlve. They are preventive measures. On the other Ihand, the gas treatments with P. D. B. can be begun when tihe blue mold appears in the bed 'because It is a "curative treatment”. The supply of heavy musUn cloth needed in the gas treat­ ment Is definitely short. "Certain substitutes sudh as tarpaulins, bed ticking, or closely woven cot­ ton sacks may have to bo used this year. Growers should not try doubling regular plant bed canvas to substitute for the heavy cover, as unsatisfactory con'trol will result," Qarriss says. He warns against' "quack" treatments for blue mold con­ trol. Only tried and tested ma- tcrlals-should be used. The idea Bhat blue mold can be controlled by moth halls is erroneous, ac- oarding to ithe pathologist. He reports that "tihe gaa coming from moth balls is not known to have sufficient toxic effect on blue mold ‘germ’ to kill it or slow up Its growth.” He suggests that growers write the Agrieultural Editor, S(»tt Soyb^ns Furnish Cheaper Hog Feed ' North Carolina farmers can stay in the hog business If <they will keep their hogs grazing dur ing 1944, says Ellis Vestal, Exten­ sion swine specialist at State Col lege. An acre to soybeans in early April will furnish grazing for a litter of spring pigs from late June until fall. This acre will produce ithree Mmes as much hog feed as the same acre planted to corn alone. The Biloxi, Tokyo or Woods Yellow varieties are recommended by Vestal for graz­ ing in the eastern half of toe state. These same varieties can be planted near the hog lot and cut and carried to the hogi dally in tihe western half of the state, If grazing is not preferred. Plant the soybeans in rows about two feet apart and then cultivate twice to keep down the grass and weeds. They are ready for grazing when 12 to 15 inches high. "Good pigs weighing SO to 100 pounds will gain better than a pound a day on green soybeans when fed only one or two large ears of corn witih a simple min­ eral mixture,” Vestal says. Experiments show that 100 pounds of pork can be produced on soybean pasture for as little as $6.23. This low cost is based on corn at $1.68 per bushel and soybean pasture at $20.00 per acre. "If 5 to 8 pigs, weighing 50 to 100 pounds, are grazed per arce, .then a '/4 ration of com (1 or 3 ears, daily) Should be fed per head. If 8 to 12 pigs are grazed per acre, then a % ration (3 to 6 large ears of corn or 1 to 2 quarts of ground grain) should be fed per head daily,” Vestal recommends. A mineral mixture can be self fed by keeping it in a dry place where the pigs can get to it at will. Either of the following mix­ tures will be saitisfactory; 1 gallon ground limestone, gallon ashes (hardwood preferr­ ed), and 1 quart of salt; or 10 pounds of ground limestone, 10 pounds of steamed bone meal, and 5 pounds of salt. TOMATOES The tomato is regarded as one of the most rewarding crops for the Victory garden. A small space yields from half a peck to a peck per plant without dif­ ficulty. It groWs well amost any place in North Carolina and af­ fords high nutritional values whether used fresh or canned. SEEDS There is an acute shortage of most of the important legume and grass seeds. Any farmer who can produce these seeds is sure to be able to make a profit from their sale. The need is great for hay and pasture for the in­ creased livestock population and many farmers are harvesting crops that should be left to pro­ duce seeds. BUY WAR BONDS and STAMPS State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RVTH CURRENT N. C. State Collegs Start a house cleaning salvage campaign this spring. (1) Do old clothes take up storage space, the space you need fpr clothes that are being worn? Why not decide this spring to either use the old clothes, by making them over, or give them away to some­ one who can use them. (2) Have you contributed to the waste paper drive? What about those old papers and magazines in the attic that you have been saving for years? They are a fire haz­ ard! Now is a mighty good time to get rid of them and for a very worthwhile cause. To preserve the garbage pail for the duration, treat it to a thorough washing with soapsuds once a week followed by a hot water rinse and thorough sun­ ning. Asphaltum varnish will give the metal a waterproof coating and prevent rust. ' The carpet sweeper is excel­ lent to take up the crumbs that drop on the rug around the din­ ing table, but for real rug-clean­ ing efficiency, for you who have them, use a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum'does its job thoroughly with a minimum of wear on the rug, and, if used regularly, Is a check against moths. Perhaps you lise a broom to go In for the hard way—beating. You should clean a rug in the direction of the nap, and when you have finished, brush the nap lightly to make it lie smoothly in one direction.

WILLIAM OTIS TAYLOR The transfer truck was owned by the Central Motor Lines of Kannapolis and was driven by John J. Connelly. It was park­ ed with the right wheels off the highway because of motor trouble, had the parking lights on and flares around it, ac- pprdlng to Sgt., H, R .. Frymoyer. of the state highway patrol.

In an unprec­ edented move London quarantined the diplomats of 43 na­ tions in Britain Monday night and cancelled their privi­ leges of co'ded or uncensored commimications. The United . States, Russia and the British dominions are exempt from the sweeping decree which prohibits the transmission or receipt of any telegram which is not in plain language; censors all diplomatic bags and prohibits the departure from the country of any members of the various diplomatic- staffs. Meanwhile the Axis radios are warning that the Allied invasion of western Europe is near at hand. “Invasion is near— nearer even than we would have expected,” said the Paris radio. Hitler’s newspaper said Germany would- settle her account with England with a “new, tremendous and vast Dunkirk.” Oenéral Isenhower has told the Allied airmen that soon he would be forced to drive them for weeks without rest or sleep. In order to further prevent information of invasion plans getting to the enemy the British government last Tuesday night suspended all cross-channel shipping from Cork in Southern Eire. The government also amended de­ fense' regulations to provide that foreign diplomats and members of their households may be treated as any other aliens in matters affecting security. Regional police of­ ficials were also given power, to exercise military control of all roads to expedite the granting of right-of-way to war needs. . , AIR WARFARE CONTINUES Although hampered by bad weather, it is apparent that the Allied bombers have entered the final phase be­ fore invasion of Hitler’s Europe. Last week attacks aver­ aged one every four hours with more than 15,000 tons of bombs being dropped on 13 aircraft plants, 17 airfields and 14 railroad centers. This week not only has the invasion coast and Germany received more poundings but Belgrade, Sofia and Budapest were also hit. RUSSIANS IN CRIMEA As this is written the Russians iare in the outskirts of Sevastopol in the Crimea where thousands of German and Romanian troops are penned in a narrowing 85-mile square death trap around the stricken city. The port is a mess of wrecked vessels from which the Axis troops are attempting to escape. Moscow says more than 40,000 troops of the 17th German army have already surrendered. WHERE GO THE RUSSIANS NOW? After regaining the Crimea and also capturing Tar- napol in Poland, where will the Russians go next? There are three major possibilities. One is a continued advance through Rumania towards the Balkans and the Rumanian oil fleld. Another is through the Carpathian mountains to the plains óf Hungary. The third is the Galician area north of the Carpathians. FIGHTING IN INDIA Desjpite heavy censorship which many think has ob­ scured the danger of Allied troops in India, it is thought that the Japanese have suffered a setback in their attempt to take Kohima and Imphal. The monsoons are nearly due, a time when 40 feet of rainfall is seen in this area of India. _______ , VETERANS QUICKLY FIND JOBS Of the 11,516 veterans who applied for jobs, 6,361 found work Immediately during a demonstration program opened in January by the U.

More Town And City Gardens Are Needed Commercial vegetable growers and canning plants will probably not be able to produce and con­ serve as much food this year as last because of the labor short­ age. The situation will become more critical as additional men are darfted. Reports are reaching the State College Extension Service that many town and city people are thinking of not growing a gar­ den this year because of the dry weather last summer and the fact that they were able to gert all the vegetables they needed. Director I. O. Schaub warns against suoh false reasoning and states that it Is not only patrio­ tic but also a matter of vital necessity to grow a garden. "Last year more than one-half of our fresh vegetaibles were grown In home gardens and the need this year Is for 10 per cent more gar­ dens and not fewer gardens,” the Director says. He points out that last year all records were broken In the number of gardens grown and the amount of the food produded. In North Carolina alone It Us es­ timated that there were at least 544,948 gardens, .producing ap­ proximately $68,118,500.00 worth of food. Schaub recommends that everyone In the towns and cities make an effort to produce some food, even If only on a very small plat, and that farm gardens be enlarged where the need exists. He also recommends that succes- slqn of crops be planted In the garden so as to give a continuous supply of food through the sum­ mer and into the fall. He suggests that farmers can supply a largo amount, of extra food by plant­ ing gardens In their tobacco plant beds after the plants have been pulled.

BARLEY The Sunrise variety of barley has made a good record in va­ riety tests in many parts of North Carolina during the last four years, says Dr. B. P. Moore of the agricultural experiment station at State college. ............ War is a long way from North Carolina — but in so many ways it’s mighty close to us. Our men are fighting all over the world — our factories and farms are producing an endless stream of supplies our troops depend upon. But even that isn’t all — it wouldn’t be enough! W e have so much more to do right here in North Carolina— ^jobs that are up to all of us, jobs that must be well done. In the 4th War Bond Drive, for instance. North Carolinians bought $172,000,000 worth — 37% above our quota— but we’re keeping right on buy­ ing more and more! W e’ve gladly given our money to the Red Cross — and hun­ dreds of thousands of hours of our time to making surgical dressings and kits for our men overseas. W e’ve supported and worked for the -U.S.O,- nnd - various-war—relief groupsr W e’ve built and maintained an efficient Civilian Defense organization. We’ve collected scrap and rubber, tin and fats. .Whatever has been asked, North Caro­ lina has done — and then some! The' men and women of the Greyhound Lines, like their fellow-citizens of North Carolina, have shared in all of these activities. They’ve also shared in the vital job of moving wartime manpower — in uniform or in work clothes. On special occasions they’ve transported U.S.O. Camp Shows and brought part­ ners to camp dances. Greyhound buses — by making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities they. serve in this State — bjr linking cities, war plants, farm centers, and military camps and bases — are helping to keep North Carolina’s war efforts rolling to­ ward Victoryl W IL K IN S D R U G CO.

Strictly Payable In Advance! entered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879. Question: How can a gasoline dealer tell whether a coupon is legal or forged? Question: How can a man over 26 tell whether he is in an essential industry or not? Question: What percentage of those in the armed serv­ ices do you think will vote an absentee ballot this year? •Question: If the British urge the French to store up as much food as possible in preparation for the Allied inva­ sion, where are they going to get it? Steal it from the Nazis? Looks like the Nazis were in such a hurry to get out of * Ihe Ukraine that they did not have time to destroy the crops they had already planted. Question: Which is better: cut down on the 68 investi­ gating committees in Congress, even with all of their waste of time, money and personal publicity, or give the self­ servers, chiselers and unpatriotic an open Held? It becomes more apparent every day that the time cannot be far distant when the second front will be opened in Europe. This will truly be a time of “blood and tears” and it is well that we recognize it and steel ourselves for (№e ordeal. It is also well that we understand that the second front is an operation prepared by professional soldiers, even be­ fore the war started, as the cheapest method in lives and material In shortening the war. The second front was not planned by Stalin, Churchill or Roosevelt, although of course they were consulted and have given their approval. It is a military operation, the largest in history, prepared by the best military brains that this country and England has. Of course everybody wants to know when and where the second front will be opened. Those two questions are the two most sacredly-guarded secrets of the war. The Germans are now guessing that It will be sometime in May and some of their commentators are now admitting that there may be some surprise landings, despite modern air reconnaissance which can observe large movements of ¡troops and ships. The Germans also express some fear that landings may be made where fortifications may be flanked instead of stormed. The Germans have also been guessing that the siecond front would not be opened until the Russians were in a po­ sition to attack Germany’s inner fortress on the western front. Two inonths ago such a possibility seemed a good iways off; today it is nearing realization. The massive air war over Europe to gain mastery of the skies and destroy German alrplants and communica­ tions, the increased measures Britain has taken to prevent leakage of invasion plans, the long massing and training of troops, together with the assemblage of material^ in the British Isles and the Russian successes all point to a D-day When a supreme effort will be made by this country, Brit­ ain and Russia to'crush Germany. Mr. Willkie’s withdrawal from seeking the nomination lo be the Republican candidate for president affords a sub­ ject for wide comment and speculation. Our-comment is Wholly aside from partisan politics. His experience is a revelation of why politicians are what they are—the peo­ ple make them that way. One may comment upon Mr. Willkie’s character without being a political supporter of his. Judging from widespread comment the American people regard Mr. Wlllkie as a man of high Ideals and fine courage. His frankness and honesty, in our opinion, cost him the nomination. He did not indulge in glittering gen­ eralities. He told the American people where he stood, what his policies were, and there were many who predicted that his frankness would cost him the nomination. The other day in passing through a town we heard a loud speaker blaring out an appeal to the women to join the various groups in the armed services which are open —to women.—There were appeals in'ternis of^laryTBdVance- ments, the comforts, etc. But nothing about patriotism. We do not recall having heard any such appeal to secure men for the armed services. What is the matter with those millions of women who can, yet will not, enlist In those forces? Haven’t the women been making rather vociferous demands for equality with men? Wherefore, then, do they refuse that equality when it carries along with it the equality of sacrifice? w n w t ouTiH ivr p o u c v r CLARKSVILLE Fannie Spann spent Sunday night with Mr. at Mrs. H. 8.

NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By O. W. McCLELLAN Hiram Davidson, colored farm­ er, near Cherry Hill church, Is doing some more terracing. He says he has found out he can’t do much soil building without some terraces to handle the ex­ cess water. F. R. Lakey and son, Bureri Lakey, near Cana, are grazing their cows on some new pasture grasses they sowed last fall. They have Improved their old pastures in the last few years by applying manure, lime and'phos­ phate. Mr. Lakey expects to fol­ low through with his pasture work until he has extra good pastures. Wade Groce treated about 30 acres of old pasture this spring with one ton of lime, 400 pounds superphosphate, approximately flve tons of manure per acre and drilled in somie red top, orchard grass, and white dutch clover. This will make him a good sod along with the blue grass he al­ ready has. It is encouraging to see the progress made towards more and better pastures. Ample hay and good pastures are two of the most Important .require­ ments for success with any live­ stock program especially dairy­ ing. The rainstorm on April U really brought Davle county farmers a noticcablc loss of their top soil. Surely more effort and Interest In slowing down this loss as time goes on will pay ex­ cellent dividends.

Placements of handicapped workers in 1943 were approximately seven times the number in 1940. A large proportion of the physically handicapped require only careful job placement. Veterans will be hired In OPA offices and boards throughout the country as rapidly as vacancies occur. About 2,500 vacancies occur each month. NEW SHOE STAMP ANNOUNCED Beginning May 1, Airplane stamp 2 In War Ration Book Three may be used for buying one pair of rationed shoes, OPA announced. The new stamp and Airplane Stamp 1 will be good Indefinitely. Stamp 18 in Book One will expire April 30. From May 1 through May 20, child­ ren’s low priced shoes (maximum $1.60 per pair) In sizes 8V2 through 12, and misses’ and little boys’ shoes in sizes 12‘/2 through 3 will be ration-free. In sales of civilian rationed shoes exceeded production by more than 53 mil­ lion pairs, which made it necessary late last year to de­ crease the number of shoes available to civilians. MORE ARTICLES FOR FARMERS Of approximately 3,000 farmers interviewed in a recent survey, nearly half reported they had no trouble in buying any item on a list of 43 essential articles—ranging from flashlight batteries to cream separators, W PB announced. As a result of production programs previously approved by W PB’s Office of ClvUlan Requirements, supplies of the following Items have been Increased: flashlight, fence control and Ignition batteries; “crescent” and monkey wrenches: grease guns; hand drills; floor brooders; and cream separators. In addition, farmers are now permitted to borrow engine and tractor fuel storage tanks from their petroleum suppliers. TAKE YOUR SHOPPING BAG TO TOW N American housewives may help avtert the critical shortage of stor« bags and wrapping paper expected dur­ ing the next few months by carrying shopping bags or bas­ kets when marketing and by reusing paper bags when­ ever possible, W PB says. Small and boxed articles should be accepted unwrapped and several purchases from the same store should be put all in one bag. The current allocation of bags and wrapping paper is less than one- third of prewar supplies. PRICE CHANGES ON VARIOUS ITEMS Prices, which renjiained relatively stable during the past two years on coal, lumber, newsprint, and other basic industrial products, showed a gradual increase in recent months, the Secretary of Labor reports. Food prices, which previously had advanced the most, have been reduced 6 per cent. Prices for clothing, house- furnishings, fuel, and services have moved up—the largest increase being in clothing. The cost of living as a whole, however, de­ clined 0.6 per cent in the first two months of 1944. SIMPLIFY FUEL OIL RATIONING The present fuel year will end August 31 instead of September 30 as originally scheduled, OPA announces, and beginning September 1 all period fuel oil coupons after they become valid will remain good through August 31, 1945. ROUND-UP The Department of Agrlciilture says: Eggs, beets, and carrots head the list of plentiful foods over most of the country, followed by potatoes, citrus fruits, citrus marma- . lade, lard, frozen vegetables and baked beans, canned green and waxed beans, and peanut butter . . . A crop of about 2,800,000 sack of onions is expected this year, compared with 1,708,000 sacks in 1943 . . . Spare Stamp 37 in War Ration Book Four, and NOT Sugar Stamp 37 should be attached to application for 1944 canning ^ sugar . . . Frequent rains, snows, or cold weather during March have delayed farm work In nearly all States . . . Since lettuce crops are damaged if allowed to go dry, soil in the lettuce row should be kept just damp enough so it can be formed into balls without crumbling . . . As our military^ successes increase and the allies liberate more territory, we must expect heavy demands for our food, which will continue for an indefinite period . . . Per capita consumption of cigarettes In the U. S. last year was at the highest level on record, consumption of snuff In­ creased over the proceeding year and consumption of smoking tobacco, cigars, and chewing tobacco decreased. OPA says: New “factory seconds” passenger tubes may be puchased without a rationing certificate, and motorists eligible for used passenger tires .Grade III) may now obtain new “factory seconds” passenger tires-- A larger amount of dairy feed probably will be available to farmers in feed deficiency areas as a result of a new nmxlinmn'^rce'“regular. . -Loggersrprimarlly-those- who eat at logging camps, and other on-the-job eating places will receive extra food rations for periods starting May 1.

Use Poisoned Bran Mash For Cutworms Cutworms, attacking garden vegetables and other crops, can be destroyed through the use of a poisoned bran mash, says J. Myron Maxwell, In charge of Extension entomology at N. C. State College. Cutworms are the young of a brown or tan moth which de­ posited eggs In the weeds and grass last fall. As soon as the soil warms up In the spring, the worms become active and feed on whatever vegetation Is avail­ able. They áre now attacking cab­ bage, broccoli, lettuce, and to­ mato plants In the early gardens They also attack radishes, peas, beans and other crops. Maxwell suggests that the victory gar­ dener prepare the following mash: 5 pounds of wheat bran, У^ pound of Paris green, and 3 to 4 pints of water. The bran and Paris green should be mixed to­ gether dry. Moisten with water and stir thoroughly until all the flakes are moistened. "Do not ues any more water than is necessary In moistening the flakes of bran. The mixture should not be sloppy,” Maxwell says. He recommends that the bait be spread over the garden In late afternoon so that It falls in flakes., Experience shows that this is better than putting the bait In piles. Only one application is necessary. For the commercial gardener. A F T E R - E A S T E R / Spring Coats and Suits Look at These Unusual Savings!

The War Production Board and the War Food Administra­ tion control distribution of all nitrogen luppliea under an allocation program. Principally, this program takea into account three things: (1 ) total supply of nitrogen products; (2) their respective locations and'capacitiea; (3 ) crop requirements. So, if Chilean Soda happens to be scarce in your section, it is a war-time dislocation, a tem pow y scarcity.

A vast supply of natural soda is right where nature put it —in Chile. Large quantities are ready for shipment Every possible ton oi this vital material is being brought here in time for this year’s crops. CHILEAN n i t r a t i; Most farmers usually grow enoiigh sweet potatoes for home use but, as a rule, they are not successful In keeping them through the winter months. Probably one of the biggest reasons for this Is the fact that the potatoes are diseased with black rot or scurf when stored. These diseases of the potato can be prevented if proper precau­ tions are taken at bedding time. The seed potatoes should be treated by using either mercuric chloride or Improved Semesan- Bel. These materials are Inex­ pensive and can be secured at local drug stores, Use one ounce of mercuric chloride in eight gallons of luke warm water. Sub­ merge the seed tor 15 minutes. Be sure to use either a wooden container or earthenware, as the chemical will corrode metal. The Semesan-Bel Is preferred by some growers because you only soak the potatoes for one minute In a solution of two ounces of Semesan-Bel to one gallon of water. Any type of container may be used. Caution: Both of these materials are deadly pois­ ons, and care should be used in disposing of the dipping solu­ tions. The seed should be bedded in sand, old sawdust, or light sandy soil obtained from areas where sweet potatoes have never been grown.

C. state College Sharpen knives often. A tap­ ered steel rod, oil stone, or grind­ stone can be used. See that the cutting edge always leads when sharpening. . To keep knives sharp, cut food on wooden cutting board and not on a metallic or enameled surface. Avoid leaving knives In hot water. Store in a wooden wall rack. Never stoi’es knives loose In a drawer as the edges become dulled. To prevent dents in utensils, store them in an easy-to-reach place so they can be removed without moving others. Make racks for storing pots, lids, pie pans, thin baking sheets and trays. Remove all ashes regularly from the firebox and ash pan of the range. Never allow ashes in the ash pit to remain in con­ tact with the grates. Clean soot from chimney, flue and pipe once a year, and from bottom ot lids and around oven once a week. Wash the inside of the oven and racks with soap and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If in­ side Is rusted, clean with steel wool and paint with aluminum paint, if you can get It. Allow oven door to remain slightly 'peeHAPS ro еетт иые irtvmmf" open until cool. Never store food in the oven. Keep the top of the stove In good condition by rubbing It each day while it is still warm with a piece of waxed paper or unsalted fat, rather than black­ ing. Clean the nickel, chromium, or enamel parts with soap and water. HOGS J. E. Holcombe, Columbus county farmer, has found that the breeding of purebred Ches­ ter White sows with regbtered Hampshire boars gives him the best commercial hogs. Naples policemen are given more food by the Allies to keep them honest. The only question is whether there is enough food in Europe to make such a bar­ gain effective. ROWAN PRINTING GO.

Some observers say that German fighter plane strength is now less than it was in 1942. Whenever the Nazi air force rises to fight there are heavy losses, such as last Monday night when more than .100 were shot down. The present air offensive in its thirteenth day is the world’s greatest sustained aerial bombardment. It has cost the British and Americans 2,300 airmen, most of whom are believed to be prisoners of war and interned in Swed­ en and Switzerland. It has cost much over 100 million -doUars^wlth_a-loss-of_324-planes and-mo£e-thaR-50,000--- tons of bombs have been dropped. YANKS INVADE EAST INDIES In a movie that caught the Japs entirely by surprise, American troops landed last Saturday at Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea, in their ilrst invasion of the Netherlands East, Indies. Landings were made with but little opposition at Titape, Hollandia Bay and Tanahmeram Bay. General MacArthur, who was personally on the scene, said it was the greatest offensive thrust of the Southwest Pacific war and was “Bataan in reverse,” 60,000 Japs being trapped. Added to those previously by-passed and isolated in the Solomons and New Britain, a quarter of a million Japs now face disease and starvation. • LULL IN RUSSIAN FIGHTING For the first time in months the Russians have stated that no fighting has been in progress on the Russian front. German commentators say it is a lull before the storm, that Russia is now reforming her forces for a synchron­ ized drive from the west when the second front opens, FIGHTING IN BURMA The situation in Burma has improved for the Allies, more airborne troops landing behind the Japanese lines.

A Victory Garden For Better Health ■ The health-giving benefits ot the Victory Garden should be given full consideration in count­ ing the values of producing fresh vegetables and small fruits for the table this summer, says F. H. Smith, nutritionist of the animal industry department of the Agricultural Experiment Sta­ tion at State College. "The Victory Garden furnishes the people who wprk Indoors with the out-doors exercise they need. The pleasure of growing things and the feel of the soil takes them from the dally grind of the office to a period of re­ laxation, that is so Important to general health,” Smith points out. Foods that are gathered fresh from the garden and prepared Immediately for the table not only taste, better but also con­ tain more vitamins. "With more food going to the Armed Forces than ever before and with a probable decrease of locally-grown vegetables because of the labor shortage, the num­ ber of Victory Gardens must be Increased this year,” Smith says. In making this appeal for more gardens, he points to the recent statement of President Roose­ velt, who said: “Because of the greatly Increased demands In 1944, we will need all the food .we can_grow,.Food.stlllJiemaln3.a, first essential In winning the war.

More Grazing Crops Save Time and Labor More and more grazing crops, not only to furnish cheap feed but also to save on time and la­ bor, is the greatest nee-i of dairymen, beef cattle feeders, bad producers, and pouUrymen, say extension specialists In anl- may husbandry and poultry at N. C. State college. “Utilize the free labor of cat­ tle, dairy animals, hogs, work stock and poultry In harvesting grazing crops so that labor may be saved and cheaper products and gains obtained,” the special­ ists point out. Man hours of work are precious under latwr shortage conditions caused by the war and every effort must be made to save time and labor wherever possible. Many cxccllent grazing crops may be grown In North Carolina that will furnish cheap feed for the major part of the year. The specialists suggest small grain crops, lespedeza, soybeans, sudan grass, cowpeas, velvet beans and other crops. Early planting and fertiliza­ tion of grazing crops are two of the chief points to keep in mind, according to the speclallatsl They also point out that more grazing crops will help to cut down on the requirements for protein feeds and ' supplements. Dairy cows and beef cattle can make excellent use of high qual­ ity grazing and good hay. "Keep livestock numibers In line with feed supplies and pro­ vide more grazing crops and permanent pasture,” the experts advise. It Is also to. be determined whether the councllmanlc sword is mightier than the pigpen. State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT N. C. state College Spring Is the season of the year that one can find so much plea­ sure out of doors. While you are In your Victory Garden or plant­ ing your favorite flowers, why not stop and listen to the sing­ ing birds right over your head? Do you know them? Can you dis­ tinguish between the song of the catbird, brown thrasher, and the mocking bird? Someone has said that to be able to Identify birds by sight and song Is about as gratifying as to be able to trans­ late French or Spanish. To plan the family diet, make a weekly shopping list—and a set of menus to match before a sys­ tematic tour of the markets. This will do much tor the health, wealth, and general welfare of any family. Read the labels on foods to know what to buy, don’t guess. Be an honest cook. The family pays for the food you prepare so feed It to the family, not to the garbage can or to the kitchen sink. Make the kitchen a better workshop.

HOBSON '(County Agent) With an acute shortage of farm labor and feed supplies all farmers should strive to produce more corn per acre. It takes just about as much time to plow, plant and cultivate an acre of corn )}roduclng 25 bushels as it does an acre producing 50 bushels. Some of the best and most fer­ tile land on the farm should be selected for corn. Extra prepa­ ration of the seedbed before planting will insure a better stand and will save cultivation later. A liberal application of fertilizer, high In nitrogen, will pay good dividends. If more than 300 pounds per acre is used it-should-be-applled-ln-fr-spllt application by broadcasting one- half of the fertilizer with a grain drill before planting. It is ad­ visable to stick to the corn which has proven to be adapted to your community. Hybrids which have not been tried out locally should not be used.

General Patton sticks his hand and mouth into it about as well as some people who forget that newspapers are run for public and not private interests. 1ÎOOM Ю М В ГЦН1 Leland Stowe is a newspaper corespondent who has probably interviewed more German prisoners than any other person. Speaking German fluently, he recently said that all of them believe that Hitler and Germany have been right in every ravage committed upon other peoples. It is still found in the German prison camps In this country. These are not the old-time Germans as we know them ^thrifty, industrious, good neighbors. They are the youths pf Hitler’s new Germany, possessed with the idea of a mas- *er i»ce that will seize by force what they want, no matter bow foul the means. This is the t ;^ of German that our boys will soon be fighting desperately in Europe. Contrast the mental attitude of some of our boys. Mr. Stowe said that some of them In returning from the front lines as Cassino said: “We’re not mad at nobody.” An en­ emy need not be breaking into our home for us to realize how dangerous he is. Already our casualties are nearly IQO.Otfo and by September most competent military ob­ servers expect them to reach 600,000. This country is more accustomed to business than to <war and even today after more than two years of war there is a shameful psychology that only those caught in the draft are obligaited to serve their country. The time appears near at hand, however, when a na­ tional war-service act must be put into effect;—when every­ body, men and women, are placed in the same boat. Our military leaders must have the manpower to finish this job completely, even if industry, business and agriculture are forced to undergo hardships. Thfe President has asked for a national service act but he has not convinced the public that he is deadly serious ' aWutTf. “The tirSe has finally come when he should leave no further doubt in anybody’s mind about the necessity of such a measure—and the public is fully ready to respond. A good many well-intentioned, but misguided, peo­ ple have urged our country to make peace with Germany. Such an attitude must start with the assumption that we started the war, and that Germany is only awaiting a chance to make peace. As a matter of fact, we almost played the role of ai>peaser in an endeavor to avoid going to war. We even let agents of Germany organize strong groups in this country who were actually laying plans for Hitler to take the United States into the orbit of his con­ quering dreams. There are too many documents, open to everybody, to place the blame for starting the war other than on Hitler. In fact, he and his gang openly boasted of what they planned to accomplish, and their own docu­ ments witness to their guilt. So, when these misguided folks over here urge our leaders to make peace with Hitler they are either betray­ ing their ignorance, or they wish a Hitler victory. If they would make the attempt for themselves, and see the re­ ception they got; if they tried to play the role of good Ger­ mans and live for awhile in Germany they would sing a different tune. It was after long and patient endeavor to avoid a war with Germany and Japan that our leaders had to come to the conclusion that peace could only come In one way, and that is by the military defeat of our enemies. -The-crime-of-the-German-people-now-ts-that-they-continue to suffer and work for the man who betrayed them, and who murdered thousands of good Germans in order to put his crowd in control of Germany. Our idea of a barrel of fun would be to see these PEACE NOW FOLKS discussing the matter with Hitler, and suggesting to him a truly rea­ sonable peace They would get not only a "hotfoot,” but a firing squad. "OONTT KNOW HfR TO SPfAKTO- ONLY TO TALK ABOUT!" Minerals Needed In Poultry Diet Mlnearls are of vital Impor­ tance in the poultry diet because 3 to 4 per cent of the live weight of the fowl and 10 per cent of the weight of the whole egg Is madb up of. minerals, says Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College. "Poultrymen using a quality mash, prepared by a reputable feed concern, have little to worry about In meeting the mineral requirements of their birds,” says Dearstyne. "However, those who are home-mixing feeds and pur­ chasing Ingredients In the open market should give careful con­ sideration to a complete mineral balance In the poultry feed.” Hp points out that calcium and phosphate are needed for bone building, and additional calcium for egg shells and clotting of the blood. Sodium Is needed for the elimination of the excess potass­ ium contained In most poultry feeds. Chlorine In a constituent of hydrochloric acid secreted by by the bird and necessary for the preparation of proteins for digestion. lollne Is necessary for proper thyroid functioning.

COTTON Spinning tests of cotton re­ ceiving an extra 100 pounds of muriate of potash per acre will be made this fall, reports Don Holler, Extension cotton mar­ keting specialist at State College. Two college presidents were discussing what they’d like to do when they retired: First President; "I’d like to be the superlntendent 'of an or­ phan asylum, so I’d never get any litters from parents.” Second President: "Well, I’ve got a much better ambition. I want to be a warden of a peni­ tentiary.

WASTE It was estimated in 1942 that the United States wasted enough food to feed the armed services and meet Lend-Lease require­ ments. Protect Woolens From Moth Damage All wooolen wearing appearel should be cleaned and other woolens should be sunned for several hours, brushing them thoroughly during the sunning process, before they are stored for the summer, says J. Myron Maxwell, Extension entomologist at State College. With the scarcity of woolens during wartime, it is even more Important now that clothing be protected from the attack of the clothes moth. "The usual cleaning process followed by dry -cleaning and launderles will kill all clothes moth eggs and larvae which may be in a garment,” Maxwell ex­ plains, “but other woolens have to be sunned and brushed. He suggests that, in packing clothing away in trunks and box­ es, that about '/2 to 1 pound ot PDB crystals be placed among the layers of clothing as it is packed down. If it is impossible to seal the containers air tight, the crystals should be replenish­ ed once or twice during the sum- men months. “During the spring cleaning, any old discarded tur garments or woolens that may be piled in the cellar or attic should be re­ moved and destroyed, as these articles provide breeding places for clothes moths,” Maxwell says. ^ If the house becomes badly In­ fested with clothes moths, to » point where overstutfed furni­ ture and rugs are damaged, It will be best to have a commercial exterminator called in. Fumiga­ tion ' of the entire house with cyanide gass is a sure and ef­ fective way of eliminating clothea moths but it must be done by an experienced person, since the gat is dangerous.

Electricity ia Vital in War-- Don't Waste It. DUKE POWER COMPANY Prospects now are for an ave­ rage fruit crop In North Caro­ lina and other South Atlantic States, according to the Crop Reporting Service of the State Department of Agriculture. Peaches—Low temperatures on April 5 changed peach produc­ tion prospects In some areas. Crop reporters are of the opin­ ion that It Is still too early to be certain of the extent of the damage. However a preliminary check Indicates a smaller re­ duction In prospective production than was suggested by first re­ ports on the freeze. A heavy bloom was general In most sec­ tions. Injury appears to have been greatest in low spots where air circulation was poor. The damage was variable, some grow­ ers expecting to thin further, while others have only a light crop remaining. Extensive damage was report­ ed in northern Georgia, north­ ern Alabama, and in most sec­ tions of South Carolina, Includ­ ing the Important Spartanburg area. In southern Alabama and southern Georgia an appraisal by crop reporters Indicates vary­ ing conditions, but a “fair to good” crop Is expected, jComm&relal—apples— =-Qtjrod sized crops are expected in many States although it Is too early for definite indications as to prospective production. Trees and buds In nearly all areas came through the winter In good con­ dition and no great damage has yet been apparent. However, late spring freezes can still cause serious Injury In the commercial areas. Some orchards in North Carolina reported some loss from the recent frosts; others expect a good crop. Washington State apple pros­ pects, for instance, are excellent. All varieties are well filled with fruit spurs and buds, and there has been practically no winter damage In any section of that State. The generally light crops last season In the Northeastern and South Atlantic States should be conductive to large crops this season, especially lor the varie­ ties which tend to bear In alter­ nate years. Grapes — Grapevines In all areas came through the winter without damage, and heavy pro­ duction is expected in the States where grapes are produced in latge_quautltles._Although_thei'e were freezes In some sections ol Arkansas the latter part ot March no serious damage resulted. Cherries—‘No winter damage has been reported, and indica­ tions are that there will be good Tests Reveal Early Planted Grain Best Experiment station and field tests in North Carolina show that the early spring planting of small grains and the use of fertilizer at planting, except where grains follow heavilj^ fer- tlllzered crops, are necessary In providing a good winter cover and^ producing high yields, says W. H. Rankin, In charge of small grain fertility work for the Ex­ periment Station at State Col­ lege. Fifteen field meetings will be held about the middle of May and farmers will be given the opportunity of studying the re­ sults of fertilization, varieties, and other 'factors in small grain production. There are two official tests In each of the following counties: Stanly, Rowan, Davie, and Guil­ ford. Others are located in Hoke, Moore, Anson, Cleveland, Ire­ dell, Wake, and Johnstone coun­ ties. Farmers will find announ­ cements of the meetings appear­ ing In the press. “In spite of the fact that later planted grains have come through the winter In good con­ dition and made exceptionally fine growth, still the early plant­ ed grains and those receiving fer­ tilizer at planting are showing decided gains.” Rankin says. Many farmers count on selling the majority of their tobacco and finishing the picking of cot­ ton before they turn to the sow­ ing of small grains,or even the preparation of the land for the crop. This throws the crop late and results in lower' yields. Rankin suggests that farmers plan along In July and August as to which fields will be put into grain and work out plans for breaking the land and seed­ ing the crop at a relatively early date. This practice will also help to give better fall and spring grazing, especially when It Is combined with adequate iertlU-< zation at planting.

' Mrs. Emma Hudson returned I home last week from West Vir­ ginia where she has visited rela­ tives. The W. I. C. circle of the Sec- FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Q. Do you recommend manure- heated hotbeds for sweet pota­ toes? A. Manure Is usually contam­ inated with sweet potato diseases and, therefore, it is best not to use it. If there Is a chance of the roots of the plants coming In contact with the manure, say Extension horticulturists at State college. Where manure is used to force the plants, It should be kept at least 4 inches below the potatoes, so as to prevent the roots from becoming infected. The potatoes in the bed should be covered with about 3 Inches ot clean sand or sandy soli, The bed needs to be kept moist but not wet. Q Can you give me a table for figuring the feed needs ot my dairy animals? A. Yes. The cow needs from 2 to 3 tons of hay and from 1 to IV2 tons ot grain. Figure tor the yearlings, 1 to I'/s tons of hay, and 375 to 600 pounds of grain. The calves ot 6 months to one year will need Va to % tons of hay and about 275 to 360 pounds of grain. "With the price of milk frozen, the safe plan for dairy­ men Is to grow all the roughage needed by the herd and as much of the grain as possible,” says John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist at State College. He notes that three tons of silage can be used to replace one ton of good hay. The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates that feed supplies per grain-consum­ ing livestock unt will be eleven per cent short ot last year. Q. Can I get tires for "con­ verting” my steel-wheeled trac­ tor? A. No. The War Food Admini­ stration urges farmers to with­ hold appeals for converting of tractors from steel wheels to rub­ ber tires, "Except In extreme hardship cases, no more conver­ sions can be made for the time being, without depleting stocks of rear tires needed for replace­ ments on tractors already rubber- tired or without delaying the use of new tractors,” the WFA says. Hoarding of ration change must mean that not enough wives are making token pay­ ments. ond Presbyterian church met Monday evening with Mrs. J. C, Smoot and Mrs, Earl Roseboro.

FSA SUPERVISION AIDS DAVIE COUNTY FARMER The farm security administra­ tion uses two tools to help small farmers get back on their feet and- Improve their operations. These tools are financial credit and practical supervision. Prac­ tical supervision means teach­ ing the farmer and hls^wlfe how to do a good Job right on the farm. FBA borrowers need niore than money—they want help in developing a farm and home plan so as to eliminate unwise practices which have kept them from succeeding In past years. With the need of both credit and supervision felt and the fact ihat adequate credit could not be secured elsewhere to carry on •Successful farm and home opera­ tions the Lee Lambe family of the Jerusalem township made application to FSA in the fall of 1839. At that time the Lambe family was composed of the fol­ lowing'members; Mr. it Mrs. 1дтЬе, Doris Marie, aged 13, ¡Lee, Jr., aged ten, Della Mae, aged e, and Johnny Thomas, aged 3, and Joan, who was only about a year oidi They were living as renters on a 77 acre farm receiving two-thirds of the rents. The application was approved one cow, two hogs, 25 hens, some worn out machinery and a few small tools. The previous year they had raised two bales of cotton, SO bushels wheat, 200 pounds tobacco, 50 bushels corn and a few bushels of oats. They had only a little truck and a very small garden. Some can­ ning was done but Mrs. Lambe said she could not keep her vegetables because she did not have a pressure cooker. The work of the past year was discussed in detail then the FSA supervisor and the farmer walk­ ed over the farm and planned the operations for the next year at the same time looking ahead with long-time planning in proper crop rotation and in­ creased livestock production. Livestock and crops to be pro­ duced the next year were listed in detail as well as their pros­ pective production and yields. Plans were made for soil build­ ing and conservation and the proper analysis of fertilizer and recommended varieties of crop seed discussed. While these crop plans were being made^ the home supervisor and the wife were discussing the home plan, both past and future. Food produc- by the Davie county committee, which now Is composed of Clyde ^JHutchlns, chairman. Route 2, Mocksville, Fred R. Lakey, Cana, and Pearl Cartner of Mocksville. The PSA farm and home super­ visors visited the family to find out what they had been doing, observe what was on hand and to assist In making new farm and home plans. They found that the family owned the fol­ lowing: A plug team which Mr. Lambe said was "so weak he had to push the plow behind them,” tion, nutrition, and family health were especially stressed. A new budget was planned and held to a minimum by increasing pro­ duction and conservation of food. During the next four years in order to carry out the plans prepared It was necessary to give the family credit to purchase ample fertilizer, good seed, stock, tools and farm machinery, a pressure cooker, a washing ma­ chine and to participate In FSA health programs. All these years Brew Between Battles NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By O. W. McCLELLAN At a meeting of Supervisors, Mr. Orady Wilson, Supervisor for Davidson county, which is in the Middle Yadkin Soil Corner vatlon District said, *'We need to keep our soil where it origin­ ated, little good it will do mbced in with the brackish waters of Atlantic Ocean.” The majority of farmers of this county have the same opinion. There are 403 farm plans with the District in Davie county. This number is about one fourth of the farms In the county. A good number of these farms have ap­ plied several measures to help keep their soil in Davie county, but more should be done on every farm in the county. There Is not a farmer in Davie county that would allow some one to take t ruck and haul away his soil, yet, a good many let rain water take their soil sneak- ingly, or openly when gullies are shown as evidence. There IS no over night way of stopping erosion on every farm but the practices advocated by the District will help control this destructive process and is glad to offer assistance to those that are Interested. Do you want this help? Funeral Services Held For Wiley Creason Funeral services were con­ ducted Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the Cooleemee Baptist church for Wiley Creason, 72, who died Friday night at his home near Cooleemee.

This pictiire shows a Tommy from London sharing a friendly brew-up with a Yank infantryman from Virginia in a foxhole beside a road In the battle area, the supervisors made several visits each year planning with and teaching the family who were very willing to listen to and follow advise. 1943 was quite a different year to 1939, for in 1943 the Lee Lambe family produced the fol­ lowing crops: four bales of cot­ ton 1200 pounds of tobacco, 50 bushels wheat, 50 bushels oats, 250 bushels corn, 250 bales of lespedeza hay, four tons meadow hay,_.fQur.-acre»_oi— permanent pasture and four acres of rye grass for grazing. They pro­ duced 50 gallons of molasses, 25 bushels of Irish potatoes, 40 bushels of sweet pottaoes, lots of melons and several bushels of peanuts. Mrs. Lambe canned over 500 quarts of surplus fruit and vegetables of good quality and large variety. The Lambe family has set out a nice orchard of about three-quarters acre of peaches, apples, cherries, pears and grapes. They now own a team of good workstock, two cows and one calf, two sows and two hogs, 100 chickens and 50 layers. They have adequate equipment, kept in good order for both the farm and home op­ erations. 1943 was- the first year the family worked a farm as owners. They inherited part of the farm they were living on and bought an addition 35 acre tract which adjoined it. This makes a nice family size farm. Mr. Lambe says, “Farm secur­ ity has been wonderful for me. I was In a hole and I don’t think I would have ever gotten out without PSA credit and super­ vision.” . The Lambe family is now r^ay^to^rffna'W'tOTirwirieet according to Locke Holland and Mrs. Virginia 0. Miller, FSA su­ pervisors for Davie county. They attribute the success ot this family to the fact that they were willing to work hard and were glad to take advantag« of FBA teaching along with-the credit. Caution Urged In Purchasing Land Sharp rise!« in farm land values during the past year and a record number of saletf during .1943 point to a mounting land boom that Is cause for genuine con­ cern, say Extension officials at State College. U. S. farm land sales were higher last year than in 1919. They suggest that prospective buyers of land look carefully Its longtime earning capacity rather than what it may be ex­ pected to do in the very near future, "With forty cent tobacco and twenty' cent cotton, it Is very easy to make the mistake of paying entirely too high a price for farm lands,” the officials point out. "Consider what will happeh should tobacco drop to twenty cents and cotton to ten cents,” is one of the suggestions they of­ fer in arriving at a fair valuation of the land in question. It is a very hard matter to pay off mortgages with low priced crops, or even to keep up Interest pay­ ments and taxes. The records show that many of the people, who are now buy­ ing farm lands, are giving mort­ gages for more than half of the sales price. These mortgages may have to be paid off with rela­ tively low priced crops rather than on the basis of present day returns. Some farmers have made enough money to pay off their mortgages in the last five years and this encourages other farm­ ers to believe that they can do the same thing. The land pur­ chased some years ago was bought at a ^much lower, price level than exists today and the returns from land in the future cannot be expected to return as great (ilivldends as at present. Secretary of Agriculture, Claud R. Wlckard, has pointed out that to act on the hope that there brothers, Tom Creason, of Har­ mony, and J. H. Creason, of Cooleemee; three sisters.
