10,000,000 Books In Victory Drive More than 10,000,000 books have been given to the armed forces by the American people, and the Vic tory Book Campaign, sponsored jointly by USO, the American Red Cross, and the American Library Association has gone well over the top. More books are continuing to flow into collection stations all ov er the country, and unlimited num bers can- be"used. The one disappointment is that technical books are so far in the mi nority. The campaign directors point out that the ambitious American sol dier of today wants to improve him self, and while fiction and non-fic tion for whiling away leisure time are welcome, it was hoped that a larger proportion of instructive books would be found in the collec tions. The 10,192,189 volumes so far turned in outnumber those on the shelves of the public libraries in the nation's?i,w?largest?cities.?it?i? hoped that Americans will go on giving, for as the nation's forces in crease and the books wear out, more and more will be needed, especially works on mathematics, aeronautics, engineering, electricity and naviga tion. ?

P. Metcalf. State College en tomologist, advises cotton growers. "The season for mopping cotton to prevent the pest is now past," he de clared. "and the only successing con trol for weevils this late in the year is dusting with calcium arsenate and lime, mixed half-and-half." The entomologist said that undi luted calcium arsenate is necessary as a dust where the weevils multi ply very rapidly. "But where a care ful count shows the weevils have punctured only 10 to 15 per cent of the squares, the arsenate-limc mix ture will control the pests very sat isfactorily," he stated. Dr. Metcalf reports that the boll weevils have emerged in greater numbers this year than in several past seasons. "This should not be tak en as a cause for alarm," said the State College man, "but it should be taken as a warning to be on the alert. Make preparations to meet the in sect menace. The loss of the cotton crop would be a disaster of the first rank."

Count the number of punctured squares in each pocket, and if as many as 10 damaged squares are found in any one batch, start spot dusting in that section of the field.

Expect Total Food Supply To Be Bigger Than Requirements By GUY A. CARD WELL. The Department of Agriculture re ports on fond production indicate that while the nation's total supply of foods will be larger this year than last?and larger than total require ments variations are expected in the supply of individual items. Prod ucts in large domestic supply in clude fresh fruits and vegetables fluid milk and cream, eggs, beef wheat, lamb and mutton. Products in smaller supply (allowing for mil ,tary needs and Lend Lease commit ments) include canned vegetables pork, animal fats, vegetable oils anc sugar. Many women and young people will help with the big winter wheal harvest which will soon be under way. This year's crop of winter anc spring wheat, added to the carry over from last year, \\ill give the country a two years' supply or en ough for 2G5 million people in one year There are more than enough feet grains in Lin and storage to carry through until the i < w fed > ?? is made this autumn Farmers have put 111 largci acreages of feed grains -44*is year, but moiu livestock are or the farms and ranches than ever be fore These w ill consume inure feed. Meanwhile, summer pastures are in unusually good condition. Milk is in flush production, but will fall off as hot weather sets in. It will decline seasonally through November whe n another season of rising production will'get underway. Effort is to lessen the usual summer slump by means of supplemental feeding. In any case, total produc tion w ill be larger this summer than Production of c^s during the first four months'nf tins yi'.n muuiili'd tu a higher season peak than ever be fore?nearly 187 billion eggs, as compared with little more fhan 16 billion during the same period last year. Although quantities of these eggs were processed for Ix;nd I^ease export, and some went into storage against the seasonal decline in pro ductiun?now underway,?the- bulk went into domestic consumption. Domestic production of fats and oils will be larger this year than last by about 1 billion pounds, but this increase will only offset the reduc tion in imports. Requirements for fats and oils are much larger this year than last and reserve stocks may be drawn up heavily. Cattle marketings this summer may be larger than had been expect ed prior to the application of price ceilings. This will help offset a pros pective reduction in domestic sup plies of pork as a result of the pur chase of large quantities of pork for Lend-Lease export. Earlier market ing of fed cattle also will ease the feed supply situation for the dairy man and hog producer. Farmers' reports on this year's spring pig crop will be made to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics witin the next few days. A bigger sampling of the "crop" than ever be fore is expected. Results of the sur vey will be made known shortly. Meanwhile, the best available line on the crop is the pig survey of last December, when producers indicat ed that sows would farrow about 62 million pigs this spring. This com pares with 50 million pigs in each of the last two years. Bureau economists expect that the first six months of 1942 will show the best half-year total of cash farm income on record. The application Reduction Planned In Fertilizer Grades Farmers will be unable to buy some of their "pet" grades of fer tilizer next fall and winter, Dr. L. D. Baver, director of the State Col lege Experiment Station, reported in announcing plans for a series of conferences designed to reduce the number of fertilizer grades which will be sold in this and other states shortages of nitrogen and transpor tation facilities, formulas of a num ber of fertilizer mixtures must be changed. Dr. Baver said that agronomists of the Experiment Stations and Exten- j sion Services of North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia Land Grant colleges will meet at Colum bia, S. C., on July 13th to recommend "a limited number of grades of fer tilizer which will be economical to produce and ship, and economical for the farmer to use." A seven-state conference will be held July 16th in Atlanta, Ga.. at which time the recommendations, will be presented to officials of the j War Production Board, Office of' Price Administration and U. S. De- j partment of Agriculture. Farm groups and representatives of the fertilizer industry also will attend this meeting. Dr. Baver said that only fertilizer grades on the "recommended list" will be permitted to be sold in the various states next season. In order to save in transportation, bags and labor, all mixed fertilizers will con tain a minimum of 18 per cent total 1 plant food content. It close cooperation is given by farmers and the fertilizer manufac of general price ceilings does not al ter earlier forecasts that cash farm income for all of 1942 will be about 2 billion dollars larger than in 1941. turers, it is doubtful if fertilizer will j have to be rationed in the future," I the research leader declared, and he added, "farmers are urged to co operate to the fullest extent to ap ply the kind and amount oi fertiliz er recommended for their plrticular crops." ? Essential Needs In Nation's Food-fonFreedom Program ^ Essential needs in the Nation's Food-for-Freedom program: 1 1-2 bilhorr ixronds of peanut arnl soy bean oil, or enough to fill tank cars to reach all the way across the Unit ed States and back; enough hogs to make a solid procession, two abreast, snout to tail, clear around the world, enough eggs so that if a person broke one every second, it would require 1.600 years to break them all; and enough 10-gallon filled milk cans to build 25 pyramids the size of the great pyramid of Egypt. Helpful Hinti In Planting Your Fall Vegetable$ ? The time to plant fall vegetables is determined by the hardiness of the vegetables and the length of time they require to mature. The tender ones, such as tomatoes and snap beans, will not stand any frost, while some of the cool season crops, such as kale and mustard, will with stand the early lighter frosts. To matoes, collards and cabbage may be planted as late as .Inly ISth and | snap beans as late as September 1st. Mustard and spinach should go into the ground not later than Sep tember 13th. #?
