N. €. DADS TO
BE RECLASSIFIED
I
Raleigh.—Adjutant General J.,
i
Van B. Metts, Tiead of the State's i
selective service system, s aid rec-j
ently that "North Carolina re
grets the necessity of drafting fa-,
ther s into the armed forces, but j
the manpower pool in tnis State i
is now at its lowest ebb and the j
drafting of men with children;
will be started after October 1.
General Metts said he had or

' I
children as sojn as possible and |
to have files read- by he date
set by national headquarters ear-',
lier last week.
The adjutant general said th*t 1
about two months will be required
to reclassify the married mer.
with children registered with lo
cal boards.
is recognized that essential
industry has taken many men of
draft age from the State's man
power pool. These men are need
ed in these essential industries
as much as they are needed in i
the military forces. Consequent
ly, if v.'e are to meet the govern
ment's demands for draftees, the
drafting of men with children is
almost a necessity", General
Metts said.
He said that the supply of sin
gle men and married men without
children has been exhausted in
North Carolina.
However, pre-Pearl Harbor "fa
thers in deferrable jobs are not to
drafted before October 1, General
Metts said, explaining that the
national headquarters wanted to
be "set to go" on that date.
County Housewives
Urged To Increase
Daily Fat Savings
...
J One tablespoonful of waste
i household fats saved every day
|by each of Stokes county's 5,035
families during the second year of
the WPB fat salvage campaign
' would provide enough glycerin to
make 241,680 anti-aircraft shells,
lit was estimated today by the
, largest single collector of this vi
tally-needed war material.
1 "Although only a fraction of
this amount has been saved daily
by the average family," said T.
A. Connors, head of the Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Com
pany's national meat department,
("the steady increase in contribu
; tion s is very encouraging. During
!May ar.d June housewives turned
|in at our company stores as much
j waste fat as they did during the
j drive's four opening months, and
our total collections for the year
were more than 4,000,00 pounds."
Indications are that nation
i wide results of the campaign's
, initial year, ending the first week
jin July, totaled more than 65,-
000,000 pounds of household fats,
based on OWI reports for the
■ first eleven" months. Thi s is one- 1
j third of the annual quota for the |
nation of 200,000,000 pounds.
North Carolina is asked by the
government to salvage 115,000
j pounds of fats each month.

SOIL CONSERVATION
NEWS
An unprecedented demand for
iiay and pasture grass seed has
placed the harvesting of these
■ seeds high on the list of wartime
farm work, says A. C. Metz,
Work Unit Conservationist of the
Dan River soil conservation dis
trict.
Large supplies of seed are need
ed in this Country for the produc
tion of livestock feed, erosion con
trol, carpeting airfields," and for j
other military purposes, Met z j
says.
j Seed are also needed for large
scale plantings in the areas re
gained from the enemy and in al
lied countries where intensive
food production has drastically
reduced the amount of land de
voted to the growing of seed.
Evary producer of hay and pas
ture crops in the Dan Rivei dis
trict is therefore urged to harvest
the greatest possible volume of
the 1943 crop of these seed. A
U. S. Department of Agriculture
price-supporting program cover
ing 20 kinds of seed insures ad
equate returnes.
Pasture and legume seed grown
in the Southern States that are
covered by the seed - purchase
program include: blue lupine,
white clover, wild winter peas,
hop clover, and Kobe, common, 1
Tennessee 76, and sc*-*/; va
rieties of lespedeza. The list also
includes alfalfa, alsike clover, or-
I
chard, Bermuda, and Dallis grass.
The .demand for hay and pas
ture seeds is so urgent, Metz
says, that the inability of a farm
er to harvest for the market
should not prevent his harvesting
at leant enough for hig own use
in planting next year'* crops.
Cornmeal Spilled

Lasf Thursday afternoon Mer
chant M. O. Steven3 of Danbury,

truck en route to his store with
a heavy load of cornmea! packed
neatly in the truck in small bags.
As he shifted gears on the hill
at the cafe, about half of his
load slipped out onto the street.
The citizenry assisted in re
bagging the precious cargo and
sent Mr on his way.

LABOR SAVING HYDRAULIC
RAMS
Last spring farmers heard the
! urgent call for more food and
j feed crops. This meant produc
| ing more with less labor. Paul
Bennett, who is a tenant, and a
good one, set about to see how
he could produce more with his
present family labor. He decided
a hydraulic ram would help.
Last winter Paul kept a flock
of hens and sold hatching eggs.
This spring he hag purchased
around 600 chicks. This called
for water and more water. He
had been drawing his water from
a spring with an old fashioned
winder. After checking, Paul
found he used an average of at
least 20 buckets of water a day.
It took approximately three min
utes to draw each bucket of wat
er. This took one hour of labor
evey day and labor is worth at
.least 30 cents an hour. Paul
found that he could buy a hy
draulic ram for $46.04, piping,
$74.25, cement, $7.50, fittings
and hauling pipe $3.00.
,This made a total cost of $133.19.
|At this rate it will only take
I Paul 462 2-3 days to pay for all
the pump and installation costs.
Thi s is paying big interest on
money invested and Paul's get
ting all the water he and his live
stock can use only by the turning
of a spigot.
