North Caro lina. Tests by the State College Ex tension Service last year^ in cooper a - ti on with the N. C. Crop Improvement Association, gave increases of about 20 bushels per acre in most cases. Where corn suffered from drought, the better hybrid corns were out standing from a drought standpoint end in some instances the increases were much larger than twenty bush els per acre. "Agronomy Suggestions" for Jan uary, which will be found in the of fice of the county agent, carries the latest recommendations on the bast adapted hybrid corns and a short description ofc each. North Carolina is divided ^jfito nine areas and special recommendations are made for each area for both white and yellow corns. Hybrid corns do. not carry names but are sold for the northwestern section in the mountains are N. C. T20 and N. C. T8, while in the north eastern section along the coast the 1 recommended strains are N. C. 1111, N. C. 1114, and Tenn. 10. < * ? Some ... hybrid ? corns* are p^ra&itted J by law to be sold in the State while others are not. Certain other hybrids, chiefly from outside the state, cannot legally be offered for sale either be cause they have proven inferior in Official Variety Tests or because they have not been. thoroughly tested. State College specialists suggest that the grower get the advice of the county agent before attempting to grow a hybrid not recommended for his particular area. s ..railing at Cowen Field, 4daho.

BUY MORE WAR BONDS AND HELP BRING OUR MEN HOMTE SOONER. ALUMINUM COMPANY GOES OVER TOP IN PRODUCTION FOR WAR By I.W.WILSON Vice-President In Charge of Opera tion! Aluminum Company of America PITTSBURG, Dec. 31. ? ' The alum inum industry in 1944 went far enough "over the top" in supplying war needs c>i' the United States and its allies to permit WPB to close down entirely a number of government-owned alum inum plants, releasing thousands of workers to shell-producing plants and fther critical industries which need Inem badly for the final, all-out vic tory -drive. Even with substantial concurrent reduction in Alcoa's production, alum inum is still being made in this coun try at a rate three times that of the peacetime peak. During 1944,, ever ,n creasing quantities of the metal poured into new military applications. Because oi its availability, aluminum was not- only returned, to those mili tary uses for which other materials nad been substituted, but was, itself, ubstituted in many cases for other naterials less plentiful in supply. The new year should see growing amounts ol aluminum going into the semi military and civilian uses which must oe expanded as rapidly as^ manpower may be safely diverted to their devel opment. uses are airplane landing mats weigh ing about half as much as the older steel type, and aluminum gasoline -drums weighing 21 pounds each as compared with 52 pounds for those of other materials.- These light drums enable our Air Transport Command Prime military NEW SPMNG SUTS S14.S5 ?

Untervitior.nl) to deliver each month hundreds of thousands of extra gallons of fuel "over the Hump" to China. Typical V civilian uses are aluminum hopper u rs by Missouri Pacific Railroad, a wpper car with aluminum sides and ends already in use on the Burling toiiHailroad. and. a most interesting aluminum boxcar Just completed for .-ervice on the Great Northern Rail road. Wherever possible, surplus aluminum stock in military stores, has been utilized. A quantity of alum inum sheet belonging to the Army was recently turned over to' the Navy foi^Use as siding and roofing in the construction of Navy warehouses tl ereby saving other more critical materials. Aluminum manufacturers during 1944 developed a number of new al loys of military importance and of far-reaching peacetime signifiance. A new Alcoa alloy, 75S, has a yield strength about twice that of the strong aluminum alloys used only a few years ago, and an lutimate strength exceeding 80,000 pounds per square inch. . . ^ To help offset the shortage of high-grade domestic ores for the production of aluminum, Aluminum Company of America research ? lab oratories <?omplet?d and put into com mercial operation a process which successfully uses a much lower grade ere. By the use of this Alcoa com bination process which should have great future significance, a sinter ing operation is combined with the standard Bayer process for obtain ing alumina (aluminum oxide) from bauxite and other aluminum -bearing ores. The new process is the result of a quarter century of research and makes possible the use of low-grade ores which were considered of little commercial value before the war. A new alumina development laboratory to develop further improvements in the operating technique of this new process has just been completed at tb^ East St Louis Works of Aluminum Company of America. The equip ment in the laboratory is arranged so that It can be connected into complete, system for any alkaline digestion or sinter process, or combination of these processes, to handle any type of raw material. To meet urgent civilian demands for aluminum, WPB issued during latter half of 1944, a series of author izations for the use of the metal in cases where manpower would not be taken from essential war work and where other more critical materials could be replaced". Whei n e ver^TPte" manufacture of a particular item was authorized, permission to use alum inum was granted. Aluminum truck and trailer bodies are now being built under WPB authorizations. Among such authorized uses of aluinum dur ing the past year were collapsible tubes, metal containers including cans, tank bodies, motorcycles, elec trical wiring devices, domestic me chanical refrigeratorst domestic laun dry equipment, automatic phono .graphs, caskets, burial valuts, -furni ture and furniture parts, aluminum paint, light power-driven tools, cook ing utensils, food processing machin ery, engineering instruments and in dustrial type lighting equipment. Although military demands for aluminum continue to create a man power problem in many localities where fabricating plants are located, r i the facilities for producing the metal in all its forms in this country have stimulated a vast interest in the peacetime prospects for this light, versatile material. The lowered price of aluminum ingot, now 25 per cent below pre-war ? levels, vand the fact that many thousands of additional workers are familiar with the char acteristics and ?id vantages of alum i/ium through its widespread the manufacture of war materials, give Indication oj' a greatly enlarged civilian market after the war. Many new uses for aluminum, as well as tiic expansion of markets already es tablished. are in the offing.

State College Waxing heels and toes of stockings with a bit of candle was routinVhose economy long ago in wooden-shoe lands of Europe, and it is a practical way to meet stocking problems today. Textile specialists who have put to laboratory tests this old-fashioned custom report that rubbing wax om stockings makes them wear four times ,as long before holes appear in heels or- toes. Tests showed the simplest and mo6t ellective method i> merely rubbing, a pi i ce of Ccindle wax or paraffin on in el- rind lues before each wearing.

Letter To The Herald Dear Mothers and Friends of Jaek son County: Greetings for the' New Year in Jesus' name. Praying that each of you mothers and wives whose loved ones have given their lives for you and me will find comfort in Him who doeth all things well, and that you will remember thai greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down nis life for his brother. Prayers change things and let us pray without ceasing for a mighty revival and if it can be God's will to end this terrible war. In Acts 12:5-7, Peter was kept in prison but prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him and God sent an angel to set him free. Many times God haj> sent angels to set his people free. We have nothing to fear if we will only pray and believe. May God bless everyone of you is the pray er of your friend, ? MRS.
