MAY* 4, 1S43 Truck Owner* May Apply For Extra Mileage Owners of commercial vehicles need not obtain le^al assistance when applying for additional mile age allowances. Robert G. Carter, district manager of ODTs Division ot Motor Transport, has announc ed. "If an operator needs extra mile age for his necessary operations, he can get it without legal assis tance," the district manager de clared. "This i?s not to say that employment of an attorney, is pre judicial to any case; but those who cannot aiford attorney's fees will receive the same consideration if they file ther appeals person ally." The district manager's statement was prompted by receipt of many appeals filed by attorneys, a?nd others containing notarized state ments. "It is not the intention of the Office of Defense Transportation to require ?anyone to incur any expense in filing his appeal",' "he said. "Each" appeal is handled on its merits, -whether filed by t?he owner* or through his agent. In each case, there must be art oper ating record for tlie past 30 days." "Mileage restrictions imposed by Certificates of War Necessity are designed to save rubber and equip ment without interfering wrth nec essary operations/, th,e ODT offi cial declared. FARMING "ON THE LEVEL" . UPS WAR CROP YIELDS That broad grin is typical of farmer* throughout the nation, who find that contour farming, level around the ?lopc, hold* soil, water and fertilizer on the land. In addition to increasing production of Food For Freedom, farmers using conservation methods report a i saving of fuel and r V? ? Farming 'On The Level' Ups War Crop Yields That broad grin is typical of fanners of North Carolina and other states of the nation who are finding that contour farming ? level around the slope? 'holds soil, moisture, and fertilizer on the land. In addition to increasing per acre yields of Food for Freedom, con tour farming saves fuel, horsepower, and machinery wear, says Earl B. Garrett, state conservationist oi the U.S. Soil Conservation Ser vice and a member of the State USDA War Board. "When fields are fanned on the contour, all the pulling is on the level and the extra fuel fteeded for uphill pulls is saved,", he says. America's record crops of last year are attributed more to increased per acre yields than to additional acres under the plow. Conservation meas ures carried out during the past ten years have done much to in crease per acr* yields in North Carolina, Garrett says, and contour farming is one of the modem conservation measures which will help farmers meet thjer production goals this year. Better Fire Protection Needed For Farm Forests The first need of farm forestry m North Carolina right now is more efficient fire control and a realization on the part of entry one just ihow much damage can result from a wood's fire, says regional Farm Forester H. E. Blan chard of the North Carolina State College Extension Service. TTie re cent Legislature recognized the ser iousness of the situation when it voted to make it a felony to mali ciously set ta fire in th,e woods. Blanchard sites a case where fire got into a growth of timber that was on land that had not been burned over for 35 years. He re ports, that not more than fifty percent of the saw timber will survive he fire and that only about 10 percent of th,e young growth is left. In another case, th? land had not been burned over in 22 years. The timber was cut on a selective basis about five years ago and was well stocked with production '-I ii iiti i ?' yl'mi ???! trees at the tirfie of t>|e fire. Thes* reproduction trees- are now practi cally all killed and must be salva ged for pulp wood. At th* time of his report, it was too early to tell just how much damage had been done to the saw timber, but the damage was great, he staid. On account orf the large losses experienced, the farmers owning the woodlands declared that they were going to burn off their woods in fhe future to avoid any repe tition of su^h a hot fire. However,; the forester called their attention to the fact that repeated fires in the woods will kill out all the young growth, seriously damage the larger timber, and experience proves that yearly burning is. poor policy. Better fire protection is the answer. MEAT CEILINGS POSTPONED Maximum prices on beef, veal, lamb, and mutton sold at retail will not become effective un-til May 17.
