1948 Intended Crop Acr**g*
Intended acreage of our lead
ing farm crops is summarized in
the April 1st issue of the North
Carolina farm report. Corn acre
age is expected to be up about 2
pe rcent for North Carolina but
about the same as last year for
the nation. Oats acreage off 15%
in North Carolina but up 7.5% in
the nation. Hay crops off If 7i in
North Carolina and off 1.4% for
the nation. Burley tobacco off 1%
in North Carolina and 2% for the
nation. Irish potatoes off 3% in
North Carolina but up 0.7% in
the nation.
Theee changes are minor as
they affect us, but unfortunately
two of our cash crops are not in
cluded, namely snap beans and
cabbage. In the 1948 "Outlook
Statement" prepared by C. B.
Ratchford, in charge extension
farm management. State College,
he says, "North Carolina farm
ers should be very cautious in ex
panding production of fruits and
vegetables in 1948."
The low bean market in !a 47
and the high price of bean seed
in 1948 will work together to hold
the bean acreage down. Neither
of these will apply to cabbage.
Local reports seem to point to an
increased acreage of this crop
this year. Henderson and Jack
son counties also report intend
ed increases in acreage.

bulls. Approximately fifty per
cent of these cows were settled
at first service and most of the
others at second or third service*.
Leading dairymen are well
pleased with the results to date
and anticipate a big increase in
members in the next few months.
As the technician will prob
ably be busy the next few
months, dairymen should be
careful to observe a few simple
rules that will help him to get
to all the calls on time.
Calls for service should be
made promptly to Bill Farth
ing's residence. Sugar Grove, or
by placing a tag on your milk
can. If you prefer, you may call
your county agent office, phone
180-J. Calls received after 10:30
a. m. may not be serviced until
the following day.
Purebred breeders must iden
tify each female at time of
breeding.
Payment is due when cow is
bred. First payment entitles cow
to three services if necessary. If
not settled then, dairyman should
consult veterinarian. If fourth or
more services desired, the fee is
$3.00 per service.
Any farmer with one or more
cows is eligible for membership
in the association. When calling
give the following information:
1. Your name. 2. Breed of bull
wanted. 3. When first showed in
heat. 4. Is it first or return ser
vice.

For Homemakers
washing baseboards, since they
prevent the wafer from marking
the wallpaper.
To paint a stairway which
must be used before the paint
bas opportunity to dry, paint
every other step. Then when the
first set of steps is dry, the alter
nate steps m*y be painted the
same way.
Trellises or window screens can
be easily reached on all side*
when painting, if hung securely
on the clothesline with heavy
wire.
DOESN'T LIKE IMITATION
Paris, France ? Rata Taro, a
prize Alsatin dog, resented his
mistress's getting down on her
all fours to imitate his bark. Rato
bit her so badly on her face and
arm that she had to be taken to
a hospital for treatment.
The finger of an old glove
laced over the end of a curtain
rod will enable one to slip the
curtain onto the rod with no
danger of catching or tearing the
material on the metal rod.
Put the smallest-size white
snaps on the bottom corners of
curtains and also fasten two
more about a third of the way
up the curtain. Then when the
windows are open at night, or
for airing the room, the curtains
can be "snapped together" and
will not get wet or soiled.
Remember it is easier and less
tiring to paint chair legs if the
chairs are turned upside-down.
When painting baseboards,
hold a cardboard close against
the wall above the baseboard,
rhis will prevent the possibility
}f getting paint on the wall or
wallpaper above. Such card
boards are also very useful when
