Increase Gas Allotment
Automobile drivers in Macon
county are the beneficiaries of
an increase in gasoline rations,
effective in June, OPA District
Director in Charlotte said. The
value of "A" coupons will be in
creased from four to six gal
lans on June 22, when the new
A-16 coupon becomes valid. The
limit for "B" card holders will
can show an actual need for
more gasoline will be raised to
650 miles per month on June 11.
"The additional quantities to
be made available to civilian use
are not guaranteed for any cer
tain period of time but must
always remain dependent upon
changes in the military de
mand. The military has always
had, and must always have first
call, he explained.
In explaining the increase in
the "B" card ceiling. L. W.
Driscoll pointed out that a per
son who needs only 200 miles
a month will continue to re
ceive only that amount. But a
person who uses his car in his
business and who needs more
than he is now receiving will
be able to get additional rations
up to 650 per month. In both
cases they will receive the 50
per cent increase in the "A" ra
tion, he assured.
Increased Interest
In Poultry Raising
Because of the meat ration
ing, the American people are
becoming more interested in
poultry raising. Evidence of this
is contained in a recent survey
made regarding requests sent
to General Electric's station
WGY here for farm bulletins.
Poultry subjects were among
the top requests during seven
months out of twelve, accord
ing to Robert B. Child, in I
charge of programs. WGY agri- !
Cultural broadcasting.
Every year several thousand
requests are received by WGY,
asking for booklets offered over
the station's two agricultural
programs, the daily Farm Paper
of the Air and the Weekly Farm
Forum.
Tips For Growing
Healthier Pullets
Putting pullets in range
shelters on fiel'ds with plenty of
tender green feed is one of the
best practices'* for producing
healthier and faster growing
pullets, says C. F. "Chic" Par
* rish, in charge of Extension
poultry work at State College.
He suggests that the range
shelter be made about 9 by 10 I
feet to accommodate 100 pul- '
lets. It should be built on skids
so that it can be moved to a j
new location about once a I

New fats and oil quotas for
household bar and package
soaps and for industrial soaps
have been reduced. This means
to save more salvage fat in
the kitchen
month or whenever the pullets
eat all of the green feed near
them.
Soybeans and corn with about
300 or 400 pounds of Jcomplete
fertilizer per acre and no chick
en manure will provide excel
lent grazing. This is also true
with lespedeza and alfalfa,
where the lespedeza was killed j
by the freeze, beans and corn
can be planted.
The average farmer or poul
tryman, for that matter, can
just about double the water and
feed hopper space that he fig
ures to be sufficient for his
flock and find it a paying in
vestment, Parrish says. Chick
ens make relatively fast growth
and they respond quickly to
plenty of feed and water.
Parrish especially recommends
the outdoor feed hopper Which
is described on Page 8 of War
Series Extension?Bulletin No. 5,
entitled "Equipment for Poul
try." This hopper keeps out the
rain and the sun from the feed.

SAFE SWIMMING
Summertime swimming offers
risks as well as fun. The Amer
ican Red Cross, through its
chapters all over the ^country,
helps keep the risks at a min
imum by offering a year-'round
program of instruction and in
formation in water safety and
first aid.
The Red Cross National Aqua
tic Schools, which report a rec
ord enrollment for the current
year, train swimming ' instruc
tors and program directors in
all phases of water safety. Red
Cross representatives visit sum
mer camps and communities
desiring water safety instruc
tion. Any Red Cross chapters
supply information and sugges
tions covering .all phases of this
program.

Nitrogen Produces
Large Corn Yields
New methods for increasing
corn yields in North Carolina
are being tested by a large
? number of growers this year and
the use of large amounts of
nitrogen per acre, when the
corn is about knee high, is one
of the most important points in
the plan.
State College agronomists of
both the Agricultural Experi
ment Station and Extension
Service call special attention to
the five steps in increasing corn
yields. These five steps are the
use of a proven local variety or
an. adapted hybrid; adapting
the fertilizer to suit the soil
conditions; providing enough
plants to produce desired yields;
avoiding late, deep cultivation,
where possible; and varying the
topdresser with soil fertility and
expected yield increases.
For yields up to 50 bushels
per acre, 6,000 plants per acre
are needed; for 50 to 75 bush
els, 7,200 plants; and for 75 to
