Better grade gasoline in both
the regular and premium grades
is due on the market soon, it

tion to hold the line against
inflationary pressures."
Regular grades of gasoline are
being so much improved, he

the minimum octane rating
qualilying for the premium

of American business and con
sumers and taking another step
back toward the free economy
we have waited for so long," he

State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
Q. Can alfalfa hay be fed to
chickens?
A. Yes, says Prof. Roy Dear
styne, in charge of the Poultry
Department at State College, if
the hay is cut when 9 to 10
inches high and cured inside
with protection from the sun
or rain. The same is true for
other legumes, which furnish
an excellent supplement to the
diet of chickens. Such hays
are rich in vitamins A and G,
and also contain minerals and
valuable proteins. The hay
should be fed in racks in the
laying house. .
Q. How can I prevent my
workstock from having blind
staggers?
A. Call in the veterinarian and
have the animals vaccinated,
State College Hints
To Farm Hotnemalcers
(By Ruth Current)
Canning is still in order. The
fresher the tood the better the
canned product will be. Better
looking, better testing, atid bet
ter lasting ? so select firm, fresh,
rip? fruits and young tender
vegetables. If you can't process
them immediately, be sure to
keep them cool and well venti
lated.
Be ready to can before you
buy or gather your produce.
Get up-to-date authoritative di
rections. Be sure the canner is
ready for work. Line up your
jars and lids for inspection.
Discard chipped or cracked jars,
dented, or bent lids. Be sure
you know how to seal the type
you are using. Read directions
carefully.
Pick only what you can han
dle at once, and process quick
ly. Don't be carried away by
bargains and lug home 2 bush
els of this or that when you
have only time and equipment
to process a peck. A few jars
at a time is a good plan.
Look over your produce with
an eagle eye and put aside any
that shows the slighest bruise
or decay. You can cut out the
1 flaws and use such produce in
some other way, but if you
process defective food you may
ruin the whole batch
Wash ? but don't soak ? pro
duce until every speck of dirt
is removed.
Check your pressure canner
for safety's sake. Follow the
manufacturer's directions for
the canner you are using. Be
fore starting to can be sure the
pressure gage is checked for
accuracy. Pressure canners are
still not easy to find, so be
generous and share yours with
your neighbor.
Better, use of land and farm
mechanization can help reduce
production costs on many crops,
accordign to the experts.
Catch forest fires when they
are young and treat them
rough, say Extension foresters
of State College. , ?
says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veteri
narian for the Agricultural Ex
j periment Station at State Col
lege. County Agent C. S. Win
chester of Jones county has re
ported the loss of 20 horses
and mules in one week. County
Agent W. V. Hays says that
blind staggers has been report
ed in practically every com
munity in Washington county
and that most horses and
mules are being vaccinated.
"No vaccinated stock has been
lost from this disease to date,"
Hays says.
Q. How should I handle my
woods to maintain a good stand
of growing timber?
A. The first step is to cut
out worthless and low-quality
trees in the average woods, says
Extension foresters at State
College. Second, cut only the
larger trees because logging
and milling costs will be lower.
Then, take advantage of the
pulpwood market by converting
tree tops and whole trees, that
will -not make sawlogs, into
pulpwood. In managing mixed
stands of pine and hardwood,
selective logging returns the
greatest dividends.

tions. If any of your school children fail to make good

Regular Army Needs
70,000 Young Men
The Regular Army today
opened its ranks for the en
listment of 70,000 young men
ol the seven southeastern states
comprising the Fourth Service
Command.
This action offers the triple
opportunity of a career, educa
tion and patriotic service to
residents of Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, Mississippi, South Car
olina, Tennessee and North
Carolina.
Soldiers now in the service,
veterans and other qualified
civilians, interested in an Army
assignment, are eligible.
Postwar Army needs center
on the occupation of enemy
countries. With the end of com
bat missions, numerous advan
tages are offered young men by
the Army which compare la
vorably with most civilian jobs.
In addition, Major General Ed
ward H, Brooks, commanding
general, Fourth Service Com
mand, called attention to this
fact:
"The men choosing military
service in the future will be
the guardians of our victory ?
the guarantors of the peace won
by our armed forces. A peace
that cost this country more
than 1,000,000 casualties? nearly
300,000 dead. A peace we must
[ keep.
| "Maintaining and keeping this I
j peace will be truly a service not
I only to the nation but also to
all mankind."
Enlisted men in the Regular
Army, while engaged in military
duties, will find ample time to
study in the various educational
programs established for their
benefit. Practical training in
skills will accompany vocational
studies, thus qualifying men in
terested in the trades for much
better civilian jobs if they
choose to leave the service at
the end of their three-year en
listment.
For those choosing the Army
as a career, the benefits of se
curity, the best medical care,
dependents benefits and liberal
retirement features will aug
ment their military pay.
