the reins than warring factions j
started sniping at the man and!
the program he must whip into
shape to keep tires under motor
vehicles and rubber available for]
military needs. The synthetic rubber
program has been misman-j
aged to sucli an extent that the;
Bartich Committee encountered I
difficulty in separating iaeis froml
fancies. Within the government
itself Administrator Jeffers finds
the controversy raging between
the Office of Defense Transportation
and the Office of Price Ad-1
ministration as to which group
will have complete control over
the usage and rationing of rubber!
tires. In the production and there
is growing antagonism between
petroleum producers and those
manufacturing industrial alcohol
?two articles which are essential
to the output of synthetic rubber.
Commercial motor vehicles will
presumably be given preference I
over passenger cars In the distri-1
bution of tires. Orders have been

In other words, they mus1
establish to the satisfaction oi
this agency that the business in

in character and entitles them

A gram is in the works in accordance
with the President's
pronouncements that travel by
motor vehicles must be drastically
curtailed as a conservation measure.
With 28 million motorized
vehicles on the highways, the outstanding
problem is that of effectively
administering Federal regulations.
It is hoped that state and local
agencies, including volunteer
groups, can be enlisted within a
few weeks to assist Uncle Sam
in conserving tires ainl equipment.
The betting favors a universal
speed limit of 35 miles per houi
for passenger cars with heavy
penalties for violations. The speed
limit in connection with trucks
raises a psychological problem. If

' ger cars the belief prevails. that!
it will result in a wholesale vio:
lation of speed laws. On the oth-i
er hand, it is claimed the shortage
of truck equipment necessary to
handle-transportation of vital war
efforts makes speed a requisite.
The planners ate worried that the
old-time antagonism between pas-:
senger cars and trucks over the j
highways may be revived if there
is a difference between the two
types of transport in speed laws
iand other regulations.
Practically all citizens will have1
j an "all-purpose" ration book on
' hand within a few weeks. The of- j
: ficial announcement to this effectj
means that a wide-spread 'pro-1
gram of rationing < is rapidly
approaching. The book now being
printed is adequate for rationing i
of at least two major groups of
commodities for a minimum of
six months. Work on tne design'
of the other three books necessary
to complete the rationing
plan is underway. Indications arej
; j that meat will be the next gen- j
erally rationed commodity. One
section of the new book would be I
validated as meat rationing cou,
pons.
Department of Agriculture estimates
are to' the effect that with
consumer income continuing to|
increase the outlook is for an unusually
strong domestic consumer
demand for agricultural products
during the remainder of 194 J. j
Military and lend-lease require-1
ments also will Ire heavy. In spite
of this buying pressure in commodity
markets, the extension of i
wartime controls to covers wages
and prices of additional com-'
modifies is expected to hold
wholesale and retail price fluctuations
within narrow limits. In
periods of rising income the demand
of consumers is for larger
quantities and better qualities of
food. Rationing of food articles
necessitated by the tremendous
volume of foodstuffs sent to
military and naval forces of this
'country and our allies will curb
some of the public expenditures
for these items.
It is significant to note the
development of a distinct trend
away from exhortation and edict
from Washington to influence people
as to the need for war-time
j sacrifices. Office of Civilian De|
fense has announced a program
I calling for an organized block i

Camp Davis A"?.11Df!ue!
Field Elevens Will Meet
In Wilmington Stadium
Sunday, November 22nd
Following Camp Lee's recent
disbanding of its football team,
the Camp Davis athletic depart-;
ment announced yesterday that
Paniel Field. Augusta, Georgia;
will supplant Camp Lee on the
Fighting AA's grid schedule. "Die
date was especially held open for
a service unit.
The game will be held on Sunday.
November 22 at the Wilmington
Stadium.
Coach Johnson, the Blue Brigade
coach, was further heartened
yesterday when two backs made
their initial appearance on the;
Camp Davis field. The newcomers
were Bill Gallagher and Lieut.
Charles Raymond Purvis.
Gallagher played for three.
years at the U. of Iowa under
Coach Eddie Anderson formerly
head coach at Holy Cross College;
in Worcester, Massachusetts. Niles;
Kinnick, a unanimous All - American
back at Iowa, was Gallagher's
backfield partner.
Lieut. Purvis, a Kentuckian, (
was a grid performer at Western
Kentucky State Teachers and;
will attempt to win a starting;
backfield role on the Fighting,
AA's.
WINTER PEAS RAISE
VALUE OF NET CROP
If handled properly, every acrej
of Austrian winter peas should j
be worth $10 to $20 an acre in
increased crop yields the first
year, says E. C. Blair, agronomy
Extension specialist of N. C.
State College.
Farmers are now planting" these j
peas, many of which have been j
furnished by the AAA through,
its grant-of-aid plan. Blair said i
the seedings should be made in,
September, the earlier the better. I
Hewamed that peas planted in
October and November will not be
large enough to turn under until j
May. . I
Austrian winter peas may be
planted after corn, cotton, tobac-|
co, peanuts, cowneas. soybeans, i
Ulb O^IUIIVIIIIUV VU.IV1MUVM.
Compost may be made in a j
number of ways, Dr. Collins said, |
but the most mommon is to alternate
layers of stable manure with 1
waste and absorbent materials.!
such as dried leaves, peat, muck,
and sod. The pile is kept moist
and turned several times to mix
the compost thoroughly. The outside
of the pile may be coVered
with soil.
Where possible, the State College
man went on, at least half |
nf the material used should be j
manure, but if this quantity cannot
be obtained, a small amount
should be used to inoculate the
heap with the bacteria of decom- j
position.
Where very fine material is desired,
well - rotted compost may
be screened, and the parts which [
are not thoroughly broken down
removed.
PEANUT HARVESTING
NEW JOB FOR MANY
North Carolina farmers, grow- (
ing peanuts for the first time this
year, will profit by following approved
methods of harvesting, as
described by Dr. E. R. Collins,
agronomy Extension leader of N.
C. State College.
Experienced peanut growers us'ej
and other crops. They may be
tnrnprl linHpr in timo tn nlont
corn, and in some counties in time j
for cotton. It is not advisable to
plow them ni for tobacco. They
may be turned under for peanuts,
soybeans, and cowpeas on sandy
soils.
Blair advised sowing 35 to 40
pounds of seed per acre on land
where the pea shave not been
grown before. Twenty-five pounds |
per acre is sufficient when the
peas are drilled in, or 30 pounds
when broadcasting on land that
is well - inoculated.
COMPOSTS MAY RELIEVE
FERTILIZER SHORTAGE J
With many valuable fertilizers!
cut off because of the war, North;
Carolina farmers can turn to con- i
servation of fertilizer materials
from minor sources and help relieve
shortages, says Dr. E. R.
Collins, Extension agronomy
leader of N. C. State College.
Composts or mixtures are being
made constantly through the rotting
of leaves, twigs, roots, and
other organic matter. Various substances
may help supply organic
matter and also often supply nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, potash,
and other elements needed by
growing plants.
"For example," Dr. Collins said,
"in butchering hogs on the farm, j
various parts of the carcass are
frequently wasted. These are
valuable fertilizers. Kitchen waste
is good for composts, too, if they
cannot be fed to animals.
"Dry leaves, weeds, sweepings
from the house and barn, coffee
grounds, fruit peelings, soot, and j
wood ashes are other examples," j

stack poles about three inches in

Survey Talked
On Dehydration
Agricultural Agencies Discuss
Possible Location Of
Plants In State
A survey of resources of North
Carolina to determine the "possibility
and practicac.uty" of establishing
dehydrating planbTfor
fiuits and vegetables in the Sta*e
was discussed by federal, state
and other farm agency representatives
August io with
effncals of the State Department
of Agriculture.
Agricultural research and marketing
representatives at the session
were directed to prepare reports
in their respective fields to
be submitted to Governor
Broughton.
While no opinions were given
as to the possibility of obtaining
dehydrating plants in connection
with the war effort, speakers
weie almost unanimous in their
opinion that the North Carolina
dehydrated, cull sweet potatoes
ffer marvelous possibilities as
mT'lf feeCl'" Ge0r^e R- ROSS,
marketing specialist of the Department.
and chairman of the
meeting commented.
A general discussion of other
fruits and vegetables suitable for
dehydration was held, but research
data was not submitted
to substantiate values and representatives
were asked to make
more comp -ehensive and scientific
report.- to be filed wUh
Governor Broighton
The availability of materials
mint? ifC" of Rehydration
plants was discussed, but federal
representatives expressed the
opinion that present facilites
would probably be enlarged in*
stead of seeking new locations
foi the present. Federal representfonH
a'S0 oxpressed their intenof
the affricu,t"ral sections
he state to acquaint themselves
with dehydration possibilities
for the future.

well-balanced condition. Remove
and burn iris foliage that is in- j c
fected with leaf spot. ... *
September and October offer a.
good time for planting peonies j;
and remarking lily-of-the-valley c
beds. j
The ground should be prepared J
for bulb planting. Manure should
not be used in the ground with c
the bulbs. Use three to four c
pounds of a complete fertilizer, 4
such as 6-8-6, per 100 square feet, f
As soon as gladiolus foliage i
turns yellow, dig the bulbs. Allow
them to dry in the sun, and then |
[remove the tops, clean the bulbs, a
! and store them in a cool dry c
" place. I
Pick gourds before frost if c
they are to be used for winter de- i
coration. Store in a dry place. ' s

THESE FARMERS OWN
A PROFITABLE BFSIXESS
North Carolina farmers have
irovided the money by which
nany business buildings have
>een purchased or constructed but
ictually they own very few. An I
ixception is a group of buildings
ind three acres of valuable land
valued at $191,000 owned by the
Durham Farmers' Mutual Exihange
ill Durham.
This Exchange is generally
egarded as one of the most profressive
and sound farmers' co peratives
to be found in the j
South. For 12 years now, it has
njoyed a period of steady
growth under the able managenent
of C. W. Tilson. former
ounty agent of the Extension
Service and a State College gradlate.
Last year ending July 1, the
irganization did a business ammnting
to $1,378,000 of which
8 percent was marketing for the
armer and 52 percent was buyng
by farmers.
The Exchange operate^ In Durlam.
Person, Orange, Chatham
ind Granville counties and it
iwns stock in the State-wide
"CX as well as the Southern
States Cooperative. Those who do
lusiness through it, have not only
ecured their materials at lower
rices for the same quality of
roods but they have been affordd
convenient markets for their
roduce. Warehouses are located
it stragetic places in the five
ounties. During the period of its
iperation, the Exchange has reurned
