Tr* THE AGRICULTURAL*? W EXTENSION SERVICE ? ^REt Purchases of mixed feed in North Carolina increased from 297,000 tons in 1937 to 915,000 tons in 1943. Mixed feeds as a rule contain from 25% to 50% of their total weight in corn. Prior to the War, we could buy corn locally and when local sup ply was exhausted, we could con tinue to buy unlimited supplier from the middle west. Corn can not be obtained now at ceiling prices even though monies are available to pay cash. Franklin County is now short of corn. Requests have been made to me for assistance in lo cating several car loads but very little has been found. As a re sult of labor shortage, acres seeded to corn in 1944 are believ ed lower than acreages seeded in previous years. If corn is to be available In Franklin County tn 1944 and 1945, steps must be taken now to Increase per acre yields. Yields can be easily in creased by 50% through plant ing good seed on well prepared seed bed with proper fertilization and cultivation, announces W. C. Boyce, Franklin County Farm Agent. It is not too late to fertilize corn that was planted in April. An application of 400 to 600 pounds of 4-10-4 fertilizer as side dressing will provide needed phosphate and potash and some nitrogen. Additional nitrogen can b? aplied when corn is 35 to 50 days old in the form of Cal-nttro, A. N. L. brand fertilizer com LAUNDERED Atlanta, Ga., May 22. ? In three months Uncle Sam washed over 131,000,000 pieces of laun dry for his soldiers .serving at posts, camps and stations in the seven southeastern states, ac cording to the quarterly report released today by Colonel Mat thew H. Jones, Quartermaster, Fourth Service Command. Operated by civilian employes under the direction of officers, these laundries provide a service for soldiers on the posts and take the load off the adjacent commercial laundries for civilian use, the report declares. Explain ing further details, it is pointed out that there is nothing compul sory about a soldier patronizing an Army laundry, but Uncle Sam will wash and iron all his clothes for $1.50 a month ? or about 37 cents per weekly bundle. The quarterly report, covering the operation of 35 Quartermas ter laundries, shows that 131, 715,277 pieces of clothing? shirts, trousers, onderwear, socks, hand kerchiefs and the like ? were washed during the three-month ? period. A total of 10.742 civil ians were employed ,yho were paid $2,580,417.35, and\ in the three months "they worked a to tal of 629,103 eight hour days and each produced an average of\>03 pieces of laundry a day. \ Patronize TIMES Advertisers pound, ammonium nitrate or ni trate of soda, if available. Deal ers have available materials con taining sufficient quantities of nitrogen. Farmers will be safe in applying nitrogen equivalent to that contained in 300 pounds of nitrate of soda as additional top dressing. When corn was selling at 50c a busb?tr~it look approximately 4 bushels of corn t? fifty ,or 100 pounds of nitrate of soda. At the present prices, one bushel and a peck of corn will pay for 100 pounds of nitrate of soda. One hundred pounds of nitrate of soda is capable of increasing corn yields from 4 to 8 bushels. The increase obtained from added ni trogen is the cheapest corn pro duced. More grass will grow where] more fertilizer is used and more' plant food is available. Corn will not get benefit from nitrogen unless weed growth is controlled, therefore regular and thorough shallow cultivation is essential to assure high yields from added fertilizer. Q. W. Eaves, Henderson, N. C. R 1, W. T. Moss, Youngsville, N. C., J. D. Morris, Youngsville, N. C. R 1, Zollie Pearce, Zebulon, N. C? R 2, and George Leonard, Louisburg, N. C. R 4, have been obtaining yields of corn consider ably above the average through use of. larger amounts of plant food in the form of commercial fertilizers and top dressings.

Thomas, a colored Tenant Purchase Client of the Farm Se curity Administration, has been doing a lot towards improving his farm this past year. He has only one mule but has built three of the best meadow strips seeded any where in the County this spring with a one-horse ' turning plow. *? H Dean Bobbitt, Louisburg, Route 2, is planting his entire tobacco crop on the wide and narrow row plan this year. Mr. Bobbitt had one acre planted this way last year and says that he harvested 300 pounds more on this one acre than he did on similar soil in an adjoining field planted in regular rows. Mr. Bobbitt has found that the chief advantages to this wide six foot row and nar row two foot row are that they give more room to work and har vest the crop; and then the broad bed protects the plants from the loss of too much moisture in dry weather and provides ample drainage in wet weather. 11?11 J. J. Young, Youngsville, Route 1, thinned three acres of loblolly pines this past winter. Mr. Young says, "A man would be surprised just how much barn wood he can get by cutting out the^crooked, inferior, and diseas ed trees on an acre of land." The i three acres thinned are just to the left of the Loulsburg-Raleigh Highway and in front of Mr. Young's home. n? V E.

LIQUID CAPUDINE - THE SOOTH'S METROPOLITAN AREAS A BECENT SURVEY of seventy-four metro ? politan areas of the North shows a decline in civilian population of 693,000, while forty-eight similar areas of the South gained 1,399,000. The most rapidly growing cities of the nation are Mobile, Alabama and the Norfolk-Ports mouth-Newport News areas in Virginia. The survey indicates that the South will re tain these wartime gains. Population shifts may well influence the deter mination of sales quotas, the allocation of ad vertising, the organization of sales forces, the appointments of representatives and distribu tors and other matters affecting the distribu tion of goods and services.
