Over-All Reduction ! Os Cotton Acreage Advocated In 1953 % Farmers In Cotton Belt Asked to Reduce 18 Per Cent (After two years of advocating in creased cotton acreage, the U. S. Department of Agriculture is this year advocating an over-all cotton acreage reduction of 18 per cent for the cotton belt as a possible move to prevent excessive build-up of cotton find also to prevent acreage control in 1954 which would be mandatory under pres ent legislation. On March 23, D. !S. IWeaven, Di rector of Extension and chairman of the 'State Cotton Committee, had a call meeting of the State Cotton Com mittee at which time this program was discussed'. The committee went on record as not making any definite recommendations to farmers regarding their planting in 1953. Since North Carolina has not in the past two years increased their acreage pro portinately to other States and be cause of the peculiar situations exist ing in North Carolina where farmers have already received acreage reduc tion on two basic crops, tobacco and peanuts .acreage reduction would work undue hardship on certain farmers. It was felt by the committee' that re gardless of increase or decrease of acreage, the importance of increas ed efficiency in cotton production should be the maljor emphasis which is not only wise advice for 1953 but al ways. One of.the major projects of this year will be the Five-Acre Cot ton Demonstration contest conduct ed by the State- Cotton Committee. Good Road Manners Helps Curb Accidents ‘Sure, it's spring .. . but hold down that speed”, J. T. Outlaw advises. Outlaw, executive vice presient of the North Carolina Motor Carriers Association, stated that the profes sional drivers are cooperating with the Association’s present Courtesy and Safety Campaign of improved motor manners. “•Good motor manners pay divi dends” he continued, “there is no question but that the motorist with good motdr manners tends to break fdw traffic regulations.” 1 “Courtesy is a form of self dis cipline,” the trucking official remark ed,” . . % doing what you' should do even though you may not be obligat ed to do it.” He explained that good motor man ners and highway courtesy are based on concern for other drivers, as much on- individual responsibility to obey traffic laws. In referring to speed and other “motor manner” violations, Outlaw concluded, “the good motorist is his own traffic cop, enforcing many rules upon himself until good motor man ners become a force of habit.” It is difficult to make a man miser ' able while he feels he is worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made Mm —'Abraham Lincoln.

(Official U. & Navy Photograph-319101) With the coming of spring weather and the swelling of dogwood buds it is time to talk about sweet com again. There are a few gardeners who still plant early varieties of field com for roasting ears because the Pars are large and there, are' not many ear worms. ' However, once they have given real sweet com a fair trial, they will not be satisfied with field com. There is no comparison in edi ble quality.' There are a number of very good hybrid sweet com varieties to choose from. In order of earliness the fol lowing are recommended: North Star, Seneca Chief, Hoosier Gold, Golden Cross Bantam, loana, Huron, Aristo gold. These are all yellow corns. Early and late varieties may be plant ed at the same time in order to get a succession of harvest, or any one iVBsaaasiaBMaaHMBMBaHBaHHBHHBsp Vets Question Box Q —ls I file a claim for disability compensation, and VA approves it, as of what date will my compensation payments go in effect?

Com is mostly wind pol linated and therefore it is best to plant in blocks of two or three rows rather than in a single row. Sweet com may be planted a little closer than field com because it usually makes a smaller stalk growth. Sweet com is of best quality, if used as soon as harvested. If it cannot be used immediately, it should be kept on ice or in the refrigerator, other wise it will lose a large part of its sugar content in a few hours and will taste like field corn.

Cleaning Need Not Be ■] Backbreaking Chore, ' ; < (Spring is the tame of the year (that : most folks look forward to, but not < so to the homemaker who chooses to do her spring cleaning the back-br4ak- ' ing way. “Do your house cleaning the easy way,” suggests Mamie Whisnant, State College Extension (Specialist in , Home Management. House cleaning should be a continuous affair—not a task you wait to do thoroughly cer tain seasons of the year. Time sp’ent in cleaning can be cut if all members of your family are .trained to pick up their personal belongings and if each of them has a definite job to do. Cleaning Venetian blinds always seem to be a headache for many home makers, but it needn’t be. Miss Whis nant says that weekly dusting even with special brushes or vacuum attach ments is not enough to keep Venetian blinds clean forever. They must be washed occasionally to remove the oily film that adheres to the surface. In cleaning blinds, wash each slat with a cloth or sponge using warm suds or one of the new no-rinse clean ers. Venetian blinds may Ibe placed in a batrtub of suds wfhere the slats and tapes may be more easily scrubbed with a brush. A detergent cuts the dirt quickly and makes the ■scrubbing’ easier. Some detergents require little or no rinsing (read directions on the package). Or blinds may be hung over the clothes line and washed with the water hose. To clean washable shades, lay the shades 0 n a flat surface- scrub with soiapy water, and rinse well. Dry with a clean doth. Rehang and leave pull down until dry.

Direct defense facilities and new homes, which together accounted for about half of the 1952 construction total, were a big factor in maintain ing building activity at near-record levels.
