Twenty scholarships worth J100 each are available at N. C. State College for worthy farms boys desiring to enter the School of Agriculture and who need fi nancial assistance. Dr. Z. P. Met calf. director of instruction, an nounced today. The awards are open to high school graduates who have not attended any college.

The scholarships are provided annually by Sears. Roebuck and Company. Since the series began in 1S3S. the scholarships have as sisted $?> farm boys to enter Slate College. In setting up the scholarships the firm- announced: We feel that it is only natural that busi ness should cooperate in aL* way possible in developing our most basic of all industries in the South, farming. To do that seems to be to aid in the development of a better farm leadership." The firm requires merely that the money shall go to needy farm youths who have made the most of their opportunities tn high school and on the farm." Army Supplies Atlanta. Ga . May it. ? There's a story about Army maneuvers before Pearl Harbor. Came a need for various supplies, so the .Army went to a small community hard by. bought out the only general store in the place to the last can of pork and beans and even to the wall fixtures. , I - It was a frame building and. needing lumber for duckboards. they bought the building, tore it down, moved the lumber away and then hired the storekeeper, leaving the community sans groc eries. building or merchant. The Army doesn t do things that way now. as is shown by an order to post commanders in the southeast from the Quartermas ter Branch, fourth Service Com mand. specifying that there will be no buying of -supplies f0?? a troop train while enroute. "The furnishing of supplies re quired by train commanders in emergencies is causing undue hardships to the railroads and to the civilian population." says the order, "since purchases made by troop train commanders frequent ly deplete the entire stock of some principal food items in small communities." The order specifies that troop trains, carrying kitchen Vars. must be stocked before the train leaves its point of origin with suf ficient subsistence supplies for the entire trip, plus an extra day's food in case of delays. It is pointed out. however, that it may become necessary to buy emergency supplies en route and to obviate the depletion of civil ian stocks of rationed food items, emergency supply stations have been established where the troop train commanders may purchase the supplies they need. Each train commander is . furnished with a list of these stations, all of which are Army camps, and the train commander will make the request for emergency sup plies as far In advance as possi ble. In order that the stocks of ?applies bought by the railroads for civilian consumption will not be diverted to soldier use. the or ders provide "the railroad will not be called upon to tarnish sup plies. other than ice." Items that are not considered essentia] are specified aa "candy, tee cream, soft drinks, beer or aewapapera." - To a*ki iniiwi doable rare that ao rationed food win be Aleutian" Blinker ? ?

Farm Reports Measurements Not Required Farmers of Franklin County ?will not be required to give linear | measurements in reporting their compliance with prorisiocs of the 1;<43 program of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, according to Ire T. Inscoe. chairman of the County AAA Committee. It previously had been announ ced that performance reports should be accompanied by a sketch map of the fields reported I with linear measurements for r-ach field. the ch^.rman said The sketch maps stil"; are requir ed. but only a listing of the wh tal acreage in each individual field will be necessary. "It was determined that listing of the linear measurements of each field probably would be the cause of ' considerable confusion, and it was decided that they would not be required." Mr. In -co? said. ' However, the farm er will be required to show how he determined the acreage ia the field. whether measured by chains, steps, or from previous records of AAA measurements." The plan of reporting 1S>43 performance by individual farm ers was adopted on a nation-wide scale by the AAA in an effort to save labor which otherwise would be engaged in active production and also gasoline and tires, he said. In former years. AAA per formance was reported by com mitteemen. reporters, or others i employed by the AAA. Chairman Inscoe said AAA i community committeemen will assist farmers in making reports and most approve all reports 1 made from their communities. ' lu additioo. he said, some farms in each community will be spot checked by the committeemen ot others. Farmers carrying out late practices for which a payment is made under the- AAA program r will be re-Juired to make a sup plemental report at the close of , the program year on December U. Late Spring Delays All Truck 11 Crops Raleigh. May 25. ? The annual spring crop report released by the statistics division of the State Department ol Agriculture states that the late April freeies killed or delayed all track crops, reduc ed prospective peach crops to one-third of the 1S42 production, and delayed general crop prepa ration by about two weeks. Commercial early potatoes were hit severely. and yield prospects, were materially reduced, the re port states. Despite the late frosts. boweTer. indications for most small grain point to a yield larger than average except for wheat, which is expected to be 14 per cent less than last year. Production of commercial strawberries is less than fore casts of March indicated. Statistician J. J. Morgan said that replanting of damaged crops, such as corn, cotton, is completed ' and that planting of other gen eral crops is advancing rapidly. 1 More than 40.000 patents and pending patent applications of enemy nationals of enemy-occa pied countries are under the con trol of the Alien Property Custo dian. mm comparwB with 17,00* seised in the last war.
