That Limestone
i
Orders Be Filled :
i
| In view of the critical transpor- I
! tation situation. Claude T. Hall,!-
chairman. Person County AAA
Committee, urges all farmers in '
Person County to place their or- i
ders for a year's supply of lime- 1
stone at once so that limestone may
be moved before railway cars are ]
needed for movement of season- |i
able farm products, according to a ji
statement issued today.
Everything in the agricultural ji
picture indicates that old railway i
cars will have to be used as long j
as they are usable aid there is no -
prospect that they will be placed |
any time in the near future, says !
Mr. Hall.
The AAA Chairman points out
that we are headed for another ]
goed wheat crop and the fast pace ,
of our march through Germany will !
mean that foodstuffs v. ill be ship- j
ped to liberated countries. "War
doesn't, wait and military demands
must be met first,” he declared,
“railway cars will be needed for
movement of these materials.”
To meet 1944 production goals,
we must have bigger and better
crops, full crop acreages and abun
dant yields per acre. By making
the most of the available supply
of • limestone we can improve oui
soil and at the same time improvt
the quality and quantity of curl
food and feed crops.
“The supply of limestone is ade
quate. Placing- orders at once Is
i the only certainty that .we have of ,
, getting this material for ise on
crops now and for winter legumes
and pastures later,” he concluded. I

Other editions in the European

The Liege edition was typical of

The beginning of this edition, like

Requirements For
Oil Stove To
Be Muck Tigther
Eligibility for certificates permit
ting purchase of oil cooking stoves
is being tightened to make sure that
the increasingly scarce supplies go
to consumers -who need them most,
OPA has announced. Under the new
provisions, local War Price and Ra
tioning Boards in the emergency
oil shortage aTea (all States except
Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico,
Texas and parts of California and
Florida > will issue certificates for oil
cooking stoves only if consumers
need to replace oil cooking stoves
that they have been using for at
least six months before making ap
plication, or if a coal or wood stove
cannot be used. Coal and wood
stoves are not rationed. The new re
quirement is being made an eligi
bility test for oil heating stoves also.
! Its purpose is to prevent persons
from acquiring an old unusable oil
stove and establishing eligibility for
a new oil heating or cooking stove,
OPA said.

Agricultural Notes
In 1944 the European corn borer
caused a corn crop loss of over $22,-
000,000. Corn borer surveys in the
fall of 1944 revealed a potential in
festation that can cause increased
losses in 1945, if weather conditions
are favorable to the pest. Because
of the early spring, safe dates for
the disposing of stalks and stubble
of corn and other coarse-stemmed
crops and weeds may have to be ad
vanced in all areas.
Since Cheddar cheese production
is expected to increase this year,
supplies for civilians in 1945 may be
equally as large as they were in
1944. Most dependable way to pre
vent hog cholera is to keep the herd
safely immunized either by the ser
umvirus methed, or by use of the
newer crystal-violet vaccine. Both
types of treatment should be ad
ministered by a veterinarian exper-
ienced in swine diseases. Demand
for chicks at the present time far
exceeds supply. Practically all hatch
eries in the country are booked solid
for the next few months.
