New Tire Booklet Is
Helpful To Farmers
A new booklet, "How To Get Max
imum Performance and Longer Wear
from Your Tractor and Implement
Tires," combines in one convenient
pocket-aize edition rules of tire op
eration which will help farmers ob
tain the utmost service and greatest
possible mileage from their tractor,
implement, truck and automobile
tires.
Just published by the Firestone
Farm Service Bureau, copies of the
book may be had without charge
from the company's dealers and
stores, or by writing direct to the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany. Akron, Ohio
Illustrations in the booklet gra
phically emphasize the causes and
effects of excessive tire wear and
explain how those causes may be
avoided. Charts show the wasteful
results of improper inflation. A
tractor tire, for example, which was
hnilt tp operate with 12 points air
pressure, wTiTTose up lu 30 pel cent
of its normal life if it is operated at
eight pounds pressure. If that pres
sure is allowed to drop further to six
pounds fully 80 per cent of the po
tential life of that tractor tire would
be wasted
The various types of wheel weights
which prolong tractor tire life by
eliminating premature tread wear
due to slippage are discussed. The
method of using water as a wheel
weight is described and tables give
the amount of calcium chloride
whidh should be added to the water
against freezing
The above are only a few of the
interesting points covered irr -thie
practical Firestone booklet Its value
is increased because it is not confin
ed only to tractor tires, but also m
cludes the rules for proper care of

Over 10.000 Growers
Insure Cotton Crop
More than 10,000 North Carolina
cotton growers took advantage of
the cotton crop insurance program
offered for the first time this year,
according to E. Y Floyd, state AAA
executive assistant.
Mr Floyd said 10,022 applications
already have been received in the
State AAA office and that more are
in county offices. The number of |
producers taking cotton crop insur
ance is paproximately 8 per cent of
the 125,143 growers in the state. No
farmers in Martin County took ad-1
'vantage of the insurance plan.
He lauded the efforts of the AAA
county and community committee^"
I men and field representatives for
I their work in the program, and said
1 unofficial figures,indicate North Car
olina is ahead of all other states in
j the East Central Region in number
I of applications.
Success of the cotton crop insur
ance program this year probably will
( be a determining factor in extending
i crop insurance to other money crops
grown in North Carolina/'. he said.
Wheat growers have been offered
crop insurance for the past two
years.
Ho pointed out that the iiisuiance
is not a money-making proposition
either for the grower or the Federal
Crop insurance corporation, which
implement, truck and automobile
tires, all of which are used by the
American farmer in his work.

Most Popular Way Of
Preserving Eggs At Home
?
C F. Parrish, extension poultry -
man, says the water glass method
has proven the most popular way of
preserving eggs at home for most I
farm families. Especially at this sea
son of the year when eggs are plen
tiful and prices low should eggs be
preserved for future use when prices
are higher. Detailed instructions for
the water glass method are contain
ed in a publication which may be
secured from farm and home agents
or from the Poultry Department,
State College, Raleigh.
is a non-profit agency of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The insurance, he said, affords the
grower a chance to protect his norm
al yield against partial or total loss
from causes over which he has no
control.
Insurance guaranteeing either 50
or 75 per cent of the normal yield
was available, and more than half
of the applications were for 50 per
cent insurance, Mr. Floyd said. Prem
ium rates and yields which could be
insured were based on paat produc
tion and loss records for individual
farms.

Getting Service that

Come in for service by Authorized

THERE'S a'big difference be
tween servicing a car and
conserving it.
The first simply takes care of
needed matters ? the second
attends to them in a way that pro
longs car-life.
For example?now's the time to
change to spring and summer oil
and lubricants. But if you want
longest car-life, it's also the time
to check up on motor efficiency,
mileage, wheel alignment,
clutch and brake condition,
battery condition and general
tightness.
Every car brought to a Butch doctor

Trees Seen As Vital
In Carrying 011 War
Trees will help to win the war, so
R. W. Graeber, Extension forester of
N. C. State College, urges fanners
to make wise use of their woodlands
For instance, he said, fuel wood
on the farm, if used in place of oth
er fuels, would release ships and
railroad cars now needed to haul
these other fuels for transporting
military supplies and necessary war
materials.
However, Graeber warned, fuel
wood should come from cull trees,
tops of trees cut for sawlogs, and
dead, seriously injured or suppress
ed and unthrifty trees not suitable
for veneer logs, box bolts, and other
special products.
Not only can wood be used on the
farm to replace oil and coal, but
wood could replace metal posts in
fence-building, thus saving the met
al for other purposes more necessary
in the prosecution of the war.
Graeber said the farmer cannot be
wood he can cut. Therefore, he
should plan his cut so that he him
self can use wood in the place of
other fuels and supply those to
whom he knows he can sell wood.
Present indications, however, are
that increased amounts of fuel wood
will be needed this year and in 1943.
CHIEF OF STAFF
v
General George C. Marshall,
Chief of the General Staff, Army
of the United States, recently
went to London to confer with
British military leaders.
The State College forester said
fuel wood eon beet be harvested rlur.
ing slack periods on the farm. Fuel
wood yields more heat when it has
had six months or more in which to
air dry.
In piling wood for air-drying, it
should be stacked, not heaped, on
high ground, preferably in an open
yard to get the most air circulation.
Issues Ban On All
Consumer Durables
Last week, as the natural, inescap
able climax of the trend that has
been gathering speed for many
months, came an order from War
Production Chief Donald Nelson ban
ning manufacture of practically all
consumer durable goods by May 91.
While it means no more ice boxes,
vacuum cleaners and radios for most
of us. Nelson pointed out that the
production-stopping orders will have
a "relatively slow effect on the stan
dard of living" because manufacture
of maintenance and replacement
parts for most durable goods will
continue . . . and besides, there still
is a fair backlog of these goods in
retailers hands. But in the long pull,
this order is going to "change the
face of American industry," the War
Production Board chief said. The or
der is just one more milestone in
marking industry's swing over to
war production, and incidentally, the
swing of the business pendulum ap
pears to be really accelerating at this
writing. The pace of Uncle Sam's war
production effort for March has just
been reported by Nelson as being at j
the rate of $30,000,000,000 annually <
?a new high.
