SAYS WILSON MARKET READY What If Horatio Alger Was Living To-day? Horation Alger overlooked some thing. This writer of “success stories” of earlier days should have known about cotton-seed hulls. If he were writing to-day, he would find even more inspiration in this Southern product than he found in people who rose from rags to riches. Chemists now are developing many promising products from cottonseed hulls—commercial articles that will extend the industrial consumption of this already useful Southern prod uct. But, as important as these new uses promise to be, it is .as one of the most efficient and economical rough- ages for livestock in the South that hulls are most useful today.' For beef and dairy cattle, horses and mules and sheep, cottonseed hulls have many advantages over other available roughages in most of the Southern states. Hulls compare fav orably in total digestible nutrients with hays, stovers and silages; and, the fact that hulls are fed without waste and are uniform in quality has contributed toward their giving even higher value in actual feeding than their total digestible nutrients con tents indicate. Palatibility of hulls and their de- .sirable bulkiness also cause many feeders to prefer them. In dairy ra tions, they are especially desirable to increase the bulkiness of mixtures of heavy concentrates; and hulls are an excellent roughage to prevent exces sive looseness and scouring when cows are on early green pasture. Cottonseed hulls and meal, alone, often make the most economical ra tion for fattening mature beef cattle. Usually fed for 60 to 90 days, this meal-and-hull mixture may be used indefinitely if a small amount of good, bright hay is fed daily. A popular plan is to feed one pound of meal, daily, for each 100 pounds of live- weight, with all of the hulls the steers will eat. Idle work stock also may be fed economically on meal and hulls, alone. A daily ration of 3 pounds of meal and 12 pounds of hulls is sufficient to maintain a 1,000-pound mule or horse in good conditios, when not working. Detailed information on making efficient use of cottonseed hulls in livestock rations is available from the cotton oil mills. County Agents or 'Vocational Agriculture teachers. F.W.B.

Wilson Warehouses Ready For Business BY N. G. BLACKMAN, JR. (Supervisor of Sales) Wilson’s eleven huge tobacco ware houses will have staffs of experienc ed tobacco experts employed by the warehouse operators to assist in the efficient handling of the millions of pounds of the golden weed when the Wilson market opens on Tuesday morning, August 26th. Last season the Wilson market sold 24 per cent of all tobacco sold in Eastern North Carolina and the Wilson market paid its customers during the 1940 season $1.41 per hun dred pounds more than the average paid all tobacco farmers in North Carolina. Wilson not only leads the Eastern belt in pounds sold but also leads all of the 76 Bi’ight Leaf To bacco markets covering six states in pounds sold and average price. Last season the Wilson market’s average was $2.35 above that of the South Carolina border belt average. There fore, the Wilson warehousemen urge the Eastern Carolina Tobacco farm ers to hold their tobacco until Tues day, August 2'6th and sell it on the Wilson market where for the past three consecutive years it has led all Eastern Carolina markets in pounds sold and average price. In order to handle this vast quantity of tobacco, warehousemen employ large staffs of experienced and efficient men to see that the grawers’ interest is looked after. In appreciation of the loyal sup port of the market’s patrons who brought it to the top, warehousemen and company officials have put forth every effort to employ the most cap able and outstanding men throughout the country to make this year’s selling season an unusually successful one for all parties concerned, the farm ers, warehousemen and factorymen. The tobacconists in Wilson realize full well that for the past several years that the farmer has had a struggle to make ends meet and live with ordinary comforts. They also re alize that the farmer is the backbone of the country and that when money is made on the farm, money is made in almost all other businesses. In view Civil Service Commission has an nounced the following examinations for which applications will be rated as soon as practicable after receipt at the Commission’s Washington, D. C. office until further notice: Economist (any specialized branch) with salaries ranging from $2,600 to $5,600 a year. Appointments are to be made in various government agencies for important economic research. Ap plicants must have had appropriate college study and responsible exper ience in economic research or college teaching in economics. Junior 'Veterinarian ($2,000 a year) for employment in the Bureau of An imal Industry, Department of Agri culture. Completion of a full course of study in a recognized veterinary college is required of all applicants. Applications will be accepted from senior students, but such persons can not enter on duty until completion of their course. Student Physiotherapy Aide, .$420 a year, less a deduction for subsist ence and quarters; and Apprentice Physiotherapy Aide, $1,440 a year. Student aides are to be employed at the Army Medical Center, Washing ton, D. C., and apprentice aides are to be assigned to Army Hospitals throughout the United States and its territories. Apprentices must have completed certain study in physio therapy. Students must have had an appropriate 4-year course in physical education. For employment in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Washington, D.

Full information may be had by writing U. S. Civil Service Commis sion, Washington, D. C. of this fact, warehousemen and buy ers pledge their wholehearted support in obtaining and giving all in their power for the various grades of to bacco offered for sale on the Wilson market for the coming season. Every possible facility has been ar ranged for, not only selling tobacco in Wilson so that it will bring the highest price, but for the comfort of the farmer and his entire family while in town. BEHIND THE SCENES IN American Business By JOHN CRADDOCK NEW YORK, August 4 — SHIFT ING SPOTLIGHT — The business stage now presents a crowded pono- rama, with many different develop ments and phrases vying for the spot light....Auto industry, always a head liner in this show, is being watched especially closely on two counts — ex tent of and effect of production cur tailment, which starts this month, and nature of the 1942 model-year cars, soon to be unveiled....New goy- ernment price control bill will grab the limelight, too; outlines of the new bill, which would give the President authority to fix ceilings on prices, rents and services, excluding wages indicate that prices prevailing on June 30, last, will be the guiding point for these controls; exceptions are rents, which will be tied to levels of September 30 of this year, and farm prices. On the latter, no farm commodity can be placed under a price ceiling which is lower than its “parity” price.... Another spotlight subject is the eastern seaboard oil situation — with Administrator Ickes requesting a 7 p. m.-to 7 a, m, shut down of filling stations (about 100, 000 stations are in the area affected) ....Meanwhile general business contin ues to boom, with emphasis on “hard goods” like washing machines, clean ers, refrigerators, and so forth. TRANSIT JAM - It’s been pretty widely forecast — and hoped — that as those durable goods become scar cer the economic shock might be cushioned by the nation’s purchasing power switching over tow'ard much greater buying of “soft” goods, such things as cosmetics, confectionery and clothing whose manufacture does not compete with defense needs for materials, men or machines. How ever, even “soft” goods have to move to market, and right now freight car loadings are about a fourth higher than at the same point last year. Speaking at the National Council of State Liquor Dealers Associations, Robert J. Byers, director of merchan dising of the Michigan Liquor Control commission who supervises the sale of close to $50,462,808 worth of lux ury goods a year, suggested a most logical solution. Said he: “It is evi dent that anticipation now of the needs for the next several months, and purchases based on those needs, should help to some degree in reliev ing transportation congestion later on and assure adequate supplies of the 'stocks which can be turned into reve nue for national defense.” Send in your renewal subscription AUTO PROBLEM — Cars for ‘42 undoubtedly will have less aluminum, nickel, zinc and other vital, defense materials than their predecessors, and of course there’ll be fewer new ones. Materials just have to be saved for actual defense use. At the same time, adequate transportation has to be Qiefense of the STmericas! COPPER! BRASS!..CALLED TO THE COLORS / / .

Reduction in over-all weight might be a solution to this two-edged problem. One manufac turer, Joseph Frazer of 'Willys-Over- land, said after a conference with DRAGS that the “obvious” solution is for the industry to “turn to the production of lighter weight, more economical cars which will use less of these materials.” He said that in a time of national emergency like this it is more than unnecessary to have two tons of weight to transport a 95-pound woman to the grocery store,” and that his company had demonstrated thot it is possible to produce a full-sized five-passenger car which will do 76 miles an hour and yet use 613 pounds less steel, 136 pounds less iron, 60 pounds less rub ber and 61 pounds less of such mater ials as copper, lead and zinc than is required in the average of the na tion’s four largest-selling cars. BITS O’ BUSINESS General level of prices received by farmers at local markets during the month ended July 15 moved up 7 points — that puts it at a level of 125 per cent of the 1910-14 average, wffiich is parity; on the other hand, prices paid by far mers also advanced, reaching 133 per cent of the “parity” period level....Air transportation industry, in view of 103 planes already given up for de fense and lend-lease, thought it w'as all set for awhile — but the picture changed suddenly with (1) Delivery August 1 of 12 Douglas DC-3 trans ports to Great Britain; (2) Transfer in near future of 36 of the same to Chinese government; (3) Possible forced 50 per cent curtailment in ser vices on New York-'Washington, New York-Chicago and New York-Boston runs Nation’s department store sales 27 per cent ahead of comparable 1940 week More Growers Turn To Barley For Feed Barley, often referred to as “win ter corn” is becoming increasingly popular as a feed grain among North Carolina farmers, says E. C. Bla:ir, extension agronomist of N. C. State College. This is especially true in areas where it is desirable to substitute soil-conserving for row crops and where it is necessary at the same time to maintain the supply of feed grains. The two bearded strains of barley, Davidson and Randolph, which were released to farmers on a trial basis in 1938, have shown up exceptionally well. At the Piedmont Branch Station near Statesville relatively high yields have been secured. During a nine-year test, these two strains outyielded Tennessee 'Winter, the standard bearded barley in the region, with average yields as fol lows: Tennessee Winter, 33.6 bushels to the acre; Randolph, 38 bushels; and Davidson, 40.6 bushels. This re presents a percentage increase for Davidson of 20.8. Blair said the first hooded strains of barley were distributed in the fall of last year. Hooded selected 23, nam ed Iredell, has produced more grain than has Tennessee No. 6 Hood in seven of the nine years it has been in nursery trials. On the basis of average yields, Iredell has outyielded Tennessee No. 6 33.6 bushels to 28.8. The new selection will be used prim arily as a forage barley. In addition to their yielding abil ity, another reason for the growing popularity of two of these barleys is their resistance to smut. Iredell and Davidson have been found highly re sistant to brown loose smut collected locally, as well as to several races of black loose and covered smut. A selective, wearing size 14 shoes, was inducted into the Army. One day at camp his commanding officer miss ed him, and asked: “Has anybody seen Private Draftee?” And from the rear of the company came the answer: “Yes, sir; he has gone over to the next crossroads to turn around.” RIDGING J. A. Boyette, Warsaw, has demon strated definitely that it pays to mix fertilizer thoroughly with the soil be fore ridging to transplant tobacco, says L. F. Weeks, assistant farm agent of Duplin County. AUSTIN & HAMILTON’S SMITHFIELD, N. C. Semi-Annual Sale!
