Egg Prices Steps have been taken by OPA to equalize egg prices charged by retail "-oute sellers with community dollar-and-cent prices charged in stores, it was announced yesterday by OPA District Director L. W. Driscoll. Formerly, mark-ups on eggs sold by retail route sellers, pro ducers and all sellers except re tail stores, were based on cur rent prices. These sellers will now apply their mark-ups to the preceding week's prices, the same method used in establish ing community dollar-and-cent puces, Mr. Driscoll said. Tne new pricing methods are intended to apply primarily to processors and wholesalers of eggs and egg products. Commercial Tires Dollar-and-cent prices have been established for sales by the Department of Commerce of 10,857 used airplane tires as surplus property it has been re vealed by OPA District Director L. W. Driscoll. He said that the tires, while no longer considered safe for use on Army planes, can be converted for use on such ground vehicles as farm imple ments and other farm equip ment. The Department of Com merce will not sell any of the current bath of tires direct to individual farmers or other con sumers, but will make sales only to distributors for reseal. Passenger Tire Eligibility Regulations governing the eligibility of motorists for Grade 1 passenger tires have been re adjusted, it was announced in Charlotte by OPA District- Di rector L. W. Driscoll. In the future, motorists using their cars for a bona fide change of residence for which they have been issued special gasoline rations, will be eligible for the certificates. Mr. Driscoll said the change was designed primarily for the following three groups: 1. War workers moving from Failure Changes To Great Success H. C. Boger of Mocksville, Davie county, has proved the truthfulness of the old saying that the farmer may be down but he is never out. Last fall when pigs were sell ing at $1.50 a piece in his sec tion, Bogar found himself with 15 sh^ats and no chances ol sale among his neighbors. Did he decide to quit the hog busi ness? The answer was an em phatic "NO" spelled with capital letters. Boger had been raising hogs and mule colts for a num ber of years and he was not the man to quit when conditions were against him. County Agent George Hobson of the State College Extension Service says that Boger design ed some self-feeders out of scrap lumber and put his shoats on feed about December 15, when they averaged about 80 pounds each. Bogey's record shows that they consumed 100 bushels of corn .at $1.50 a bushel and $79 worth of protein sup plement, consisting of equal parts, of soybean meal, cotton seed meal, and fish meal. When the hogs were killed and dressed at home, and sold on the local market at 20 cents a pound, the return was slight ly over $600. The total cost of feed, pigs, and extra labor was about $300, according to Boger The failure of last fall had been turned into a successful farm enterprise. "If we had more men with Bogeys foresight, the meat shortage would not be nearly so great as it is," Hobson says. Limberneck Epidemic Avoided By Proper Care Poultry producers of North Carolina were warned this week to watch for the appearance of limberneck in their flocks, be cause the disease occurs mostly during the hot summer months. The warning was issued by Dr. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the State College Department of Poultry 8clence. Limberneck is usually found in small flocks which are al lowed free range, Dr. Dearstyne said. It is very easy to recog nize as the name describes the condition of the disease. It is caused by the birds eating de composed material of a nitro genous nature. Dead chickens and manure piles where decomposition has taken place are excellent sources of the trouble. When the dis ease breaks out, the owner should confine the chickens un til the cause of the trouble is found and eliminated. Eggs and poultry markets were extremely firm during June, according to poultry spe cialists of the State College Ex tension service. one city to another as produc tion shifts from one type of war goods to another or shifts from one type of war goods to another or shifts to civilian commodities. 2. Members of the armed forces moving to a new post. 3. Discharged veterans re turning home or moving to an other city to accept a job. Formerly, issuance of new tire certificates was limited largely to persons holding supplemental gasoline rations. The new pro vision will bridge this gap in the regulations, Mr. Driscoll said. ?

FRANKLIN, N. C State College Hints To Farm Homemakers (By Ruth Current) For easier and more success ful home dressmaking, clothing specialists suggest a few unus ual items that may be collected around the house for the sew ing box: Cornstarch, sewed up in a small bag (or French chalk, if obtainable) is a hot-weather sewing convenience. Dust it on palms of hands to absorb pers piration when working on white or light-colored labrics. When not in use, wrap the bag with paper to keep it clean. Tweezers are useful for pluck ing out threads which have been caught in machine stitching. An ordinary building brick, padded and covered with cloth, is convenient for holding goods firm when basting or hemming by hand. Place the brick on the sewing table and pin goods to It. Waxed paper wrapped around scissors prevents rusting in hot humid weather, Rust also gives trouble on needles and pins. Keep needles in the black pa per wrapped in which they came, Store pins in a small, tightly-covered box, or in a clean cold-cream jar with a screw top. Use fine sandpaper, steel wool, or an emery bag to remove rust from pins and needles, but never leave needles In an emery bag because they are likely to rust there. Small cuts, cracks or scratches in the surface of linoleum may be partly healed by occasional ly rubhing with boiled linseed oil. Have the surface clean and dry before rubbing in the oil. Wipe off any oil left on the surface afterward with a soft cloth. Allow area to dry 48 hours before washing again. State College I ? sues Two Farm Publications Two new bulletins, providing helpful information for farm families on 4-H Club work and on the factors to be considered when buying a farm, have been prepared by specialists of the State College Extension Service and are ready for distribution to the .citizens of the State. The 4-H leaflet explains pro jects dealing with crops, poul try, forestry, homemaking, food conservation, money manage ment, and the cooking of better breads and uncommon vege tables. Other subjects mention ed include gardens, dairying, room improvement, tree study, forest protection, and timber stand improvement. The publication setting forth factors for the selection of a farm, was prepared for the ben efit of demoblized veterans, war workers, farm youths, and agri cultural laborers who are inter ested in establishing themselves on the land. Improved agricul tural practices and better ec onomic conditions have increas ed the value of' farm real estate and have stepped up the inter est in the purchasing of farms. The bulletin describes the agriculture of North Carolina and to outline some of the most important factors about the cli mate, forest resources, soils, markers, community activities, and many other subjects. North Carolinians may secure copies of the publications by writing to F. H. Jeter, agricul tural editor, N. C. State College, Raleigh. PVT. FRED A. DEHART RECEIVES COMMENDATIONS Pvt. Fred A.
