Edwards and J. Dewey Wel don farms. 11?11 Caleb Allen, Louijburg, Route 2, shipped a car of pulpwood last week and J. W. Radford h is re cently shipped several cars. Both of these shipments were made through Mr. Bland Pruitt of t^e Pruitt Lumber Co., who buys pulpwood here in Louisburg for several companies. Cutting pulp wood at the present time is not only a patriotic act but it offers a source of income at a time when it can be used to purchase seed ? I and fertilizer for this years crops. 1?1 Howard Cooke, Louis'jurg. Route 1. has thinned two acres : of woodland this winter for fuel and barn wood. Mr. Cooke mar ked the trees to be cut and did I the cutting himself. He has al-| ready thinned twenty eight acres1 of woodland on his farm aud now has one of the ben mam led j woodland plots in the Couu'.y.

Mr. Edwards did not dis cover the damaged tree, which was located in the middle of a stand of twenty to twenty-five year old loblolly pines until tbe Southern Pine Beetle had killed all the trees within a radius of fifty feet. Mr. Edwards has cut all the dead trees this winter and a few of the live ones around the outer edge of the dead circle in order to control the beetle and protect the remained of his pine woodland.

AfrKnthHm nfwtosStmct STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: , Why are we ask ed to eat m^re Irish potatoes? ANSWER: The potato crop of last year was the largest in his tory. / Stocks now on hand exceed the normal carryover for this time of the year. There are am ple quantities of potatoes to meet all the needs of all types of con sumers. Housewives, restaurants and other public eating places, Bchools, and institutions are be ing urged to serve more potatoes.

ANSWER: No. Virginia is sfightly ahead of us. We rank No. 14 in the total number of chickens produced in the U. S. and ahead of ether states In this district. We rank sixth "in the number of broilers produced, and four of the Ave states ahead of us In the Nation, art located In the same region that we are. North Carolina Is forging to the front as a poultry producing state, ? a fact that few people realize. 11? H QUESTION: Why ban winter cabbage been nan>ed a "Victory Food Selection" for the coding month? ANSWER: The crop now being marketed is the largest in history, as a result of the War Food Ad ministration's call for greater production. Housewives, food merchants, restaurants, distribu tors, and all channels of trade have been asked to feature cab bage during this period to help market and utilize the crop. Vit amin "C" In cabbage Is easily de stroyed by heat and easily oxi dized by air. Serve cabbage raw just after slicing, or cook it just long enough to make it tender. Keep an eye on calcium. Is the adviBe of food nutritionists to 1944 gardeners and family meal planners. Calcium is likely to be short when a family's meals ?re otherwise up to good nutri tion standards.
