Drafting Labor ( j Is Big Problem ( ! For Congressmen j The long-smoldering controversy over a manpower draft now ap pears headed for a definite Con gressional showdown early next fall. In preparation for the decision the Senate Military Affairs Com mittee has completed compilation of testimony on the Austin-Wads worth bill, which contains a warn ing from the committee's analyst that voluntary methods are fail ing. Col. Lewis Sanders, the commit tee analyist, said that in practi cally no major war effort has there b??TV sufficient volunteer - workers. He said: j "The outlook foe, the balance of 1943 is that under present man power procedures we will, in im portant instances, fail to reach our objectives for lack g{ the neces sary labor. "We may fail to reach our pro duction objectives as much as by 10 to 15 per cent, because of labor shortages alone. "In any event the excessive la- ] bor turnover and the inability to properly direct labor would cause % constantly " increasing hardships and annoyances to the civilian pop ulation which are avoidable if the available supply of labor can be placed where it is needed." j ITnHpr tprms of the Austin- : Wadsworth bill both men and wo men could be drafted for war work if they voluntarily refused to ac cept employment deemed necessary by the government.

Soldiers and sailors who patronize the library at Service Men's Club, No. 1, are willing to admit that the person who donated' the latest box of books had a wide tange of interests. Thtt first volume they pulled out of the box was "The Campfire . Girls Go Motoring." This was fol 1 lowed by: "Baldness, Its Cause, Its Treat ment and Its Prevention." ! "Up to Date Waitress of 1922." "Rhymes for Kindly Children." And these in German: "A Laoe ; Dictionary With Patterns", "A Guide to Vienna", "A Catalogue of ' the Munich Art Gallery", <4A Lex j. icon -of -German Quotations", and | "The Pilgrim's Progress to Cul ture." Permanent Pastures Should Be Sown Now j Mixed pastures, which will pro 'vide grazing from about May 1 until frost, should be planted dur ing September and the first half of October on fertile lands in a high state of cultivation, E. C. Blair, Extension agronomist at N C. State College, advises. These pastures will give good grazing on soils of medium fertil ity, if they are fertilized annually and not over-grazed during hot, dry weather. They respond to good seed bed ! pi fpaialiun. ? Blnir points uut-ibai the ideal seed bed for pastures is one that is thoroughly pulverized' to a depth of three inches, and left undisturbed below that depth. For this reason, plowing should be avoided unless it is done at least six to eight weeks before the sow ing of the seed. Lands that have been in row crops can be prepared by discing and harrowing, but land that has been idle may have to be plowed shallow before discing. Pasture seeds are usually sown by hand and covered very lightly with a weeder or a brush. It is better, however, to put them in with a grain drill, running about one-half inch deep. This method requires less seed for the same re sults than with hand sowing. It is good practice to roll the soil 'after the seed are covered. v : Because of the existing feed shortage and the fact that dry weather has ruined so many feed .crops, Blair suggests that grow lers plan for better permanent pas tures. He points out, however, that I pastures ? cannot give continuous ] i grazing and that supplemental grazing crops will be needed. He suggests that the grower discuss and Child Poems for Soldiers to Read ?TIMELY? i Farm Questions ! and Answers i Question: When is the best time i of the year to cut pulpwood? I Answer: You can cut pulpwood any month in the year, if it is | shipped rough, or in the bark, says IK. W. Graeber, in charge of Ex tension Forestry at N. C. State College. He points out that if the wood is to be peeled, spring and early summer are the best periods. Pulp mills now buy most of the -pine wood in .the Jbark. Two mills (buy North Carolina hardwoods in bark and one mill requires peeled wood. Winter months are ideal I for cutting pulpwood to improve your woods by removing the low l grade, cull trees and thinning over i crowded stands. Question: Can I "overfeed" my dairy cows? Answer: Each cow should be fed according to her ability to produce milk, says John A. Arey, Exten sion dairy specialist at State Col lege. Feeding the cow a full ra tion means that the animal should ; receive enough feed to maintain her ; body weight and also enough to ! produce all the milk she is capable. | Since the cow must first keep up ^r weight, it is poor policy not i to give her enough feed for eco nomical milk production. Feeding a full ration never means over j feeding. Question: How should barley, wheat and rye be fed to workstock? Answer^ -Oats and corn are the standard rations for horses and mules, according to L. I. Case, Ex tension animal husbandman at N. C. State College. He advises THaf barley, wheat and rye be ground if fed to workstock. The last two should generally be mixed with other feeds to prevent digestive disturbances. He pointed out that cottonseed meal also is often used as a protein supplement but that it is good practice not to feed more than one pound of the meal per 1,000 pounds of liveweight of the horse or mule. War bonds can be bought at any time. They are a good investment and will help our American boys win this war.

I State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By Ruth Current N. C. State College If you value your coat, always ; unbutton it before you sit down because there is a strain on the seams and buttons. And, never sit if your coat is wet. When sitting, fold your coat neatly and place on your lap.v Form the habit of always hang ing your coat up rather than throw ing it across a chair or on the bed. i A good sturdy wood hanger is rec jommended. Your closet should be not too crowded with clothes and by all means h ive proper ventila tion. Open closet doors at night, is no other way has been provided jfor air and light. Your coat can be kept new and | alive looking by brushing it after ; every wearing but never brush coat when wet. Zip the zipper and but ! ton the buttons ? for shape, you know. Always brush with the pile. A soft brush is best except for around^ j the collar and pockets where you' will need a whisk broom. Rodmy, comfortable armholes and necklines, short sleeves that don't bind, adequataly full skirts, practical pockets that won't catch on doorknobs are points to con sider for your house dress. If night time mending has to be done, mend over a lighted flash light. It makes for better mend ing and saves one's eyes, too. Cornor's Have Two Sons And Grandson In Service Mr. and Mrs. H. G.
