Rains Bring Relief To State's Pastures Improvement in pastures due to recent rains is relieving a rather serious feed situation among dairy men of North Carolina, according to John A. Arey, Extension dairy spec ialist of N. C. State College. ? * A shortage of hay, caused by a dry summer last year, has been aggra vated by high grain prices. Because of the rapid disappearance of corn since the first of last year, the price of this grain has advanc ed to a point where feed nutrients can be secured at a lower cost per unit from com distillers grain. This feed, on the Raleigh market at the present retail prcie, Arey explained, will provide total digestible nutrients at a lower cost per unit than corn. Corn distillers grains will not only do this, which is unusual, but be cause of its high protein content of 28 per cent, dairymen will find it to be an economical practice to feed this grain mixture now with its higher pretein content than is us ually advisable at this season when cows are on good pasture. The poor pastures made it necessary to feed a better grain mixture. Under such conditions and using Raleigh retail prices for feed, the following mixture is suggested: 800 pounds of corn meal, 600 pounds of corn distillers grain, 200 pounds of Boll Weevil Prospect* For Thi* Season Are Bad ? The boll weevil prospects for this season are bad for the cotton grow er, says Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, entomolo gist of the North Carolina Experi ment Station. About as many wee vils came out of hibernation this year as did in 1941 and now that the Government wants every ounce of lint, oil and meal, the grower will do well to fight the weevil by all the means at his command. It may pay to pick up squares this year as well as mop and dust. * Rides Bitycle 25 Miles To Win 4-H Health Croun s Howard Hubbard was crowned 4-H health king in Northampton County after riding his bicycle 25 miles to compete in the health con test, reports H.

Marine paratroops wear knee length overalls and a new type of crash helmet. soybean meal, 160 pounds of linseed meal, 200 pounds of dried brewers yeast, 20 pounds of salt, and 20 pounds of oyster shell flour. The total cost for this ton of feed (at Raleigh prices) is $39.20. and the mixture contains 1669 pounds of di gestible nutrients. The crude pro tein will run about 20 per cent. State College Hints For Farm Homes By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration A tent The smart cook prepares vege table the table so they keep that fresh garden look and taste, along with the vitamins and minerals. To her it's a crime to overcook green vegetables or to pour down the sink the juice? the good old-fashioned pot liquor. Best way of all to cook green veg etables is to boil but make it speedy. And cook uncovered, only until ten der, in as little water as possible. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a little fat.

There are many different kinds of sewing threads made for special purposes. Always select the thread that is right for the fabric ? fine thread for fine fabric, coarse thread for coarse fabric. Basting thread can be an inexpen sive thread since it is for temporary use only. 'Look for spools with large yardage. Button and. carpet thread ts so named for its strength and uses. So is quilting thread. Mercerized sewing thread is a fine quality and is usually best for materials like silks and rayons. The most widely used, all-purpose thread is 6 cord, rangin gin size from 8's, the strongest, to 100's, the fin est.

CREDIT REGULATIONS Yon will doubtless encounter many changes over previous practices of stores offering you merchandise on credit. This has been made necessary by "Reg ulation W", issued by the Board of Gov ernors of the Federal Reserve System. These regulations provide that no ar ticle may be sold on a charge uccount with an agreement that payment may be made for it later than the 10th day of the second calendar month following the month in which the article was purchas ed. In other words, if you make a pur chase today (or any time during the month of May) and say "charge it," you must pay for that purchase not later than July 10th; if you should wait until June 1st to make the purchase, it must be paid for by August 10th. INSTALLMENT BUYING. With the exception of household furniture and a few certain well-defined articles (too numerous to mention here?your deal er will explain) the down payment must be at least one-third of the cash value of the article purchased (unless it sells for less than $6.00) and complete payment must be made within 12 months. CHARGE ACCOUNT PAYMENT SCHEDULE Purchase Date Must Be Paid Before May, 1942 or before July 10, 1942 June, 1942 Aufust 10, 1942 July, 1942 Sept. 10, 1942 Auruat, 1942 October 10, 1942 September, 1942 Nov. 11, 1942 October, 1942 Dee. 10, 1942 November, 1942 January 10, 1943 December, 1942 Feb. 19, 1943 GOVERNMENT CHARGE ACCOUNT HEGUIATIONS Charge account regulations issued May 5, 11)42 by the Federal Reserve Board require that charge accounts must be paid IN FULL by the 10th day of the second month following purchase. Under this requirement, the balance of your account at the end of May, 1942 should be re mitted in full not later than July 10, 1942 in order to permit further charges to your ac count after that date. Your charge account, always a convenient manner of handling your purchases, is still open for your use as prescribed by regulations CEILING PRICE Regulations became effective Monday, May 18th, under a ruling of the Office of Price Administra tion. In short, it simply amounts to the fact that in the opinion of the OPA the prices of commod ities generally had risen (and were threatening a further rise) to the extent that they conducted an exhaustive study of prices prevailing brtween October 1st and 15th, 1941, with relation to those charged by retailers throughout the country dur ing the month of March, 1942. The findings of the OPA resulted in their adopt ing a ruling prohibiting any person, firm or cor poration from selling any commodity at a price higher than the maximum price permitted by the regulation adopted (which means for a price higher than that charged for similar merchandise during the month of March, 1942). In short, that is what is meant by the much discussed term "ceiling prices." It is your guarantee that you will not be charg ed more for items coming under the cost of liv ing class than you paid during the month of March, 1M2, and you may pay a lower price! DKLIVUKIES New federal regulations limiting the scope of local deliveries will heroine ef fertile June Ist. In the interest of conserving rubber ami gasoline, \\ illiunisloii merchants for Milne time have voluntarily reilueeil de liveries.

The new delivery regulation prohibits the limiting of more than one delivery a day to any customer. It also forbids "rail-hacks," in rase a customer is away when the first delivery is made. The provision against call-hacks includes pick-up service, such as laundry collec tions. The order also forbids "special deliv eries" interpreted to mean a delivery by vehicles made at the special instance or request of ii-particular person other than us a part of a regular scheduled delivery service. (Kxeiuptions include deliver ies to hospitals and emergency deliver ies of supplies necessary to protect the public health, life and safety.) WILLIAMSTON MERCHANTS
