Good Fence Should
Last 7 To 12 Years
Good wire, properly strung be
tween strong, well-braced posts
should make a farm fence last from
7 to 11 years, says H. M Ellis, ex
tension agricultural engineer of N.
C. State College. There should be a
coating of galvanizing or zinc on
the wire to protect it against the
elements, he says.
"Some copper in the wire will add
still more years of service to the'
fence," Ellis stated. "The copper
content should not run less than
HO of 1 per cent, which is usually
spoken of as *20 point' copper. The
quality of the wire is the main con
sideration in building fences, and
it isn't good economy to buy cheap
wire."
I Ellis also says that tor a good,
long-lasting fence the quality of the
posts and the workmanship in erect
| ing the fence must be of the best.
The posts must be big enough, prop
erly spaced, well planted, and well
braced. If durable wood is not
available, soft timber may be treat
ed with creosote or otherwise to
make the posts last as long as the
wire.
"It is wise," the specialist declar
ed, "to build your fence on paper
before you start cutting posts and
buying wire. North Carolina farmers
spent thousands of dollars every year
maintaining fences that are not es
sential; fences that are of the w rong
type to keep animals in or out; and
fences that are not worth maintain
ing because of floor material or poor
workmanship."
In conclusion, Ellis said, "Fencing
is an important item of farm man
agement. It protects property and ;

"I BUY EVERYTHING FROM HOME FOLKS"
"I ?IT MY BEST ?RAIN YIELDS where mixed fertilizer U used at fall
seeding and Arcadian, The American Nitrate of Soda, is applied in the
spring. Fertilizer brings grain through the winter better, especially after
late planting. Grain really goes to town when you give it Arcadian up to
200 pounds per acre as an early spring top-dressing. Arcadian thickens
the stand and helps plants to stool out better and send up more seed
bearing stalks. At harvest, I get a bigger yield of better quality grain.
"Arcadian is good Soda. There is no better Soda. And Arcadian is

Industrial Activity
Continues To Boom
Thru seems to ho no lot up, or
even pros poet of one, in the steady
oxpansion of industrial activity. Big
! ..gc&t stop-ups, naturally, aru m de
fense goods industries, but the fact
i Ihat?these coll upon ii wide?Iaiigu
of industries furnishing the raw ma
terial, has considerable effect in
spreading out the worR of producing
and moving goods. Backlogs of un
filled orders in aircraft, ship-build
ing and the machine-tool industries,
U in stool and loxtih
increasing which means there won't
he any slackening of the pace for a
long time to come. Private building
contracts are at the highest level in
weeks, reflecting the large volume
of industrial construction as the fev
erish drive for additional plant ca
pacity goes on Housing projects are
booming too.
More work, lurger payrolls, juicy
overtime paychecks mean gains in
consumer buying power. The month
of January figures to at least match
the performance of December in
reflecting this situation, by produc
. ing the highest- national total of de
I partment store sales, for that month,
in 10 years. Auto owners, fearing
eventual curtailment in production
of new models, are rushing to get
their '41 jobs tucked safely in the
garage-. Auto deliveries are running
nearly 20 per cent above the near
reeord pace 'if a year ago, and well
beyond the previous high-Water
mark, set in the same weeks of 1937.
And the manufacturers, feeling the
?*ame way, are turning out cars at
just about the fastest rate ever. Dur
ing the middle two weeks of Janu
ary the output reached an all-time
high for any January period, and the
outlook is for continued manufactur
ing volume at just about the present I
speed.
