Question: Is it true that there
will be a shortage of egg cases?
Answer: Yes. Clifton Parrish,
extension poultryman at State Col
lege, says that there will be a
definite shortage of both wood and
fiber cases in 1945, according to
reports. He suggests that pro
ducers, dealers, handlers, and
everyone concerned with the move
ment of eggs to market should con
sider this shortage and place orders
now for good t gg cases.
Question: How should I sow my
tobacco bed where a chemical
treatment was used to destroy
weeds ?
Answer: Prepare a very shallow
seed bed with a garden rake, says
Dr. Emerson Collins, in charge of
Extension agronomy at State Col
lege. Live weed seeds will be found
in the soil just below the first few
inches of top soil which received
the treatment. If these seed are
brought to the surface or if seed
are dragged onto the bed from the
outside, these seed will rapidly
germinate in the spring and undo
all the good work of chemical
treatment. For these reasons, a
very shallow working of the bed
at seeding is recommended. ,
Question: How much can I in
crease my corn yields per acre?
Answer: "That depends on a
number of factors," says Dr. B. A.
Krantz of the Agricultural Experi
ment Station at State College. He
took a sandy loam soil in Hoke
county that was producing 19
bushels of corn per acre and raised
the yield to 107 bushils per acre.
He used N. C. 10'!2, a yellow hy
brid -orn; spaced the plants 17
inches apart in 3Vi foot rows; and
used 750 pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre with hight amounts of
phosphate and potash. "The spac
ing provided enough plants to make
a high yield and the rainfall dis
tribution was good throughout the
grow ing season," Krantz said. "The
farmer kept the corn clean by the
use of a harrow early, cultivated
it twice, and 'laid it by' when it
was two feet high."
The man who gets off his knees
and hustles usually has his pray
rs answered.

SSGT. JACK V. PARRIS, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Parris, of

dation. Sgt. Parris has been in

His wife and son, Jackie, are mak
ing their home in Boone while he

The commendation received by

"SSgt. Jack E. Parris was the

contributing factors in enabling
