What can you do to hel{j America win the war? Here are some sugges tions: Fatten more pigs; grow more to matoes; produce more poultry and eggs; grow more yellow soybeans; plant better home gardens; keep some bees; plant some cane seed; and improve the soil. Don't complain about the sugar shortage. Put in a crop of molasses or get yourself a colony of bees. Don't worry. If you can't do any thing about the problem, forget it. If you can, then get busy. Don't be too critical of everything. Do the best you can, do the most you can, and lend a helping hand wherever you can.

C. Blair, Extension agronomist of N. C. State College. Nitrate of soda is scarce this year and has been placed on the ration list by the War Production Board. Next year, Blair said, farmers may expect to find an even smaller sup ply of this crop food. At a recent series of winter le gume field meetings, the State Col lege agronomist explained to those present that legumes must be al lowed to make a heavy growth if they are to be of value to the soil. Such a growth is equivalent to ap proximately?S56?pounds?of?mtrattr of soda an acre. The nitrogen added to the soil is in direct proportion to the amount of growth turned under. This is contrary to a widespread belief, Blair pointed out, that legumes store up nitrogen in the root-nodules formed by the nitrogen-gathering bacteria. It has been shown that these nodules are simply the points at which the nitrogen enters the plant, to be stored in its stalks and leaves. Before North Carolina farmers can derive a maximum of good from winter legumes, the practice of growing seed in this State and pre ferably on the home farm must be learned. At the present time, most of such seed come from the Far West. Balir told farmers at these field meetings that early planting is ab solutely necessary for best results.

(Central I'reee) Care In Milking Means Full Pails Along with other things, good milk is a factor not to be overlook ed by North Carolina dairymen in attaining their 1942 milk goal, ex plains John A Arey, Extension dairy specialist of N. C. State College. For instance, he says, many low herd averages and individual cow records can be Attributed to care less, inefficient milking. The dairy cow has a sensitive, nervous system which reacts quickly to adverse con ditions such as irregular milking, rough handling, slow incomplete milking, and sudden changes of al mostany kind. A practical application of the fol lowing rules will result in a sub stantial increase in the 1942 milk production in this State: Milking at the same hour with very few minutes variation is of vi tal importance for full and complete p induction. The order of milking cows in the barn should be mapped out careful ly. Cows that "let their milk down" first should be milked first. When the milking is begun, it must progress rapidly to completion. Four to not more than seven min utes ca nbe occupied in the milking process. Slow milking results in de creased productoin. When the milk ing is completed or if the cow stops secreting, it is time to stop milking. Too much stripping or prolonged manipulation develops "strippers." ' I" m . 4 / . , ?> n ., n ? /, J ilin millfne tttc tmTprromtrnt ui tut iiixiittrr and the handler of the cows is im portant. Fear, suspicion, and excite ment should not be aroused. Nothing should appear in the barn before or during milking to detract the cow's attention. Rough milking should be avoided. It is of vital importance that noth ing be done that stimulates milk "let down" any considerable time in ad vance of milking. Humin# lloneynuckle I inn Darin# Winter Inexpennive E .C. Blair, Extension agronomist, says burning the honeysuckle vines off during winter will rid ditch banks of this plant for a yenr or lwn_ Although somewhat green, the vines will burn. Commercial weed killers will also destroy honeysuckles, but may prove expensive. If ditch banks were leveled off and cleaned so that they"could be mowed? this would tend to keep not only honeysuckle, hut other weeds and hushes under control.
