. CONSERVATION MONTH } On The Farm and in The Home U 5 ' < Chto&esi I - la line with Ma Pifj's thrifty plan. Fresh fruits are on October's table. And when they're eaten what they -can. They can what they cant as they are able. Thus they enjoy a toothsome spread In winter Ume apoa their bread. and Ma's preserves have mafic powers: They're flavored with the ham of bees And trills of larks, songs sang by flowers While dancing with a lainuter brtsoe. All these are pleesanl to remember When months arrive that end In* "ember". Here are timely suggestions from ? State College specialists for the month of October: A. D. Stuart, seed specialist, says early planted small grains have a distinct advantage over later plant ings in the matter of yield, a fact on which growers should capitalize. If the wheat, oats, and barley sown are not resistant to smut, the seed should be treated. Then, too, all seed plant ed should have germination and puri ty tests. Robert Schmidt, associate horti culturist of the Experiment Station, reminds growers ' to harvest their sweet potatoes before the heavy frosts which come first during the last days of October. Careful har vesting will present much bruising, which, in turn, will reduce storage losses. The potatoes should be grad ed in the field, packed in crates or baskets, and placed in storage with as little handling as possible. Far mers who are interested in better seed could improve their own stock by selecting seed potatoes in the field at digging time. Lloyd Weeks, extension tobacco specialist, says tobacco growers can make substantial savings by taking apart their tobacco flues and treating them with waste motor oil. After receiving a coat of oil, the flues should be placed on tier poles in the barn. Such treatment will cause them to last three to four times as long. John Arey, extension dairyman, passes along a couple of suggestions. First, he says dairy herds should be culled this month. Medium to low producing cows which paid only a i small profit on pasture this past summer will not pay when placed on high-priced winter feed. Secqpd, he urges farmers to attend county and State dairy cattle shows this fall. The show ring, he says, is the place where breed type standards are fix ed. It is also a splendid place for breeders to compare their animal^ and to advertise their surplus stock. E. C. Blair, extension agronomist, adds a good word for winter cover crops. "Farmers who have not seed ed winter cover crops and annual legumes, such as Austrian winter peas and hairy vetch, should do so by all means this month," he says. "Also, if you haven't already cut your tobacco and cotton stalks, get the job done as soon as possible. Stalks standing through the winter afford an ideal hiding place for in sect pests that will attack your crop next year." Paul Kime, Experiment Station agronomist, advises growers to keep their cotton picked out so as to pre vent weather damage in the field, planting seed should be saved from cotton that has had but little rain on it October is a busy month for p^-* trymen because the old poultry year overlaps the new, says T. T. Brown, extension poultryman. Some of th^ things the poultry grower should do now are: Select next year's breed ing pen or mark the birds to be se lected later; keep the hens and pul lets separated; house the polleta; rrvV* a gradual change from a grow ing maah to a laying maah; check for drafts in the laying house; and don't overcrowd birds.

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: If small grain is to follow corn or cotton, how should the land be prepared? ANSWER: A good seed bed can be prepared on row crop land by dish ing if power is available. Too often, seedings following corn and cotton are made too late to produre good yields. Late November seedingB of small grains are hazardous, and many failures result. So the grain should be seeded earlier, partirularly that following sotton and corn, as these two crops usually prevent earlier seedings. . ; QUESTION: How long will it take for pullets to lay large eggs? ANSWER: Egg size is inherited, when pullets begin laying, the eggs, are quite small, but as time goes on, the bird builds egg size up to its in herited capacity to lay large eggs, in general, eggs laid in February and March are average for the bird's egg size. Diet, unless abnormal, has little effect QUESTION: What is an ideal school lunch? - ANSWER: An ideal school lunch, according.to the State College Home Demonstration Department, consists of one nourishing main dish, a glass or two of milk, a cooked or raw vegetable or fruit, bread and butter or a sandwich, and a simple dessert These lunches must provide the building materials for the' soft tis sues of the body, for sound teeth and bones, and for good red blood. At the same time, the foods must supply a source of energy for growing, ac tive children. . . . ? jf, ,?

L Such work has inqlngsd tenrace outlet construction, building meadow I stripe or vegetated waterways, gully control measures, timber stand im provement, reforestation, and relo cating fences. In the first half of I 1940, farmers in the ten districts re- j ceivre 138,752 man-days of CCC la-] bor. L AAA Sets December 7 As Cotton Vote Date Cotton gnawers of North Carolina and of the South will go to the polls I December 7 to decide whether AAA I marketing quotas will be placed onj the 1941 crop, E. Y. Floyd, AAA exe-l cutive officer of State College, has 1 announced. The new national marketing quota just announced by Secretary of Agri culthre Wlckard will make possible I the marketing of 12,000^)00 bales I during the next cotton year beginning I August 1, 1941. HoWever, before an adjusted pro duction program can go into effect, two-thirds or more of the cotton I growers voting 'must approve allot ments. This year's referendum comes two days earlier than that of last year when 91 percent of the na-1 tion's cotton producers voting favor-1 ed the marketing quota program fori 1940. V . Floyd said growers have approved the cotton program for three con secutive years, voting control on themselves' in 1940, 1939, and 1988. During the years the quotas have been in effect, ^cotton farmers, as a group, have planted well within the national acreage allotment. The AAA executive officer ex plained that it was necessary to call for a limited production in 1941 be cause of the tremendous .surplus which still hangs over the market Much of this was due to the recqrd crop of 1939, which glutted the mar ket and forced prices down sharply. While export markets have beenl demoralized as a result of the war,! the national defense program in this country is expected to stimulate do mestic demand for the South's No. 1 cash crop. North Carolina's 1940 cotton acre age allotment was 930,509 seres. A good crop has been reported from most sections of the State. NOTICE TO BIDDERS TOWN OF WALSTONBURG, j ?

The Republican nominee is conducting an eatremely -active rsmpaifn which will pat him into eontact with the votera of practically arery region. Undoubtedly, his cam paign is a gigantic effort to convince the voters that Mr. Willkie is best fitted to serve the needs of this country and to. solve the problems at home and ahxpad. The "flop" in the Willkie campaign, reported several weeks ago, was re flected in the forecast of Fortune Magazine and the Gallup Poll. Both efforts to gauge public sentiment in dicated that President Roosevelt maintained a substantial lead is pub lic favor and that much depended up on the effectiveness of the Willkie campaign. / Far from being discouraged by these "polls," the Republican nomi nee plans to redouble his efforts and there is indication that , his supporters are being welded into a smoother working combination. At the same time, in view of the spotlight around the President, in connection with defen se problems and events abroad, there p*""1 to be little dodubt but that the odds, at this time, are strongly 011 the side of Mr. Roosevelt. The acquisition of naval and .air bases in the Atlantic Ocean, which came to this country as the result of the transfer of fifty over-aged de stroyers to Great Britain, undoubted ly strengthened the defensive posi tion of the United States in the At lantid Ocean. When these bases are developed and instrumented by suffi cient planes and surface ships, there is little reason to believe that the Eastern Coast of the United States will become liable to successful ene my attack. - The situation around the Panama Canal, vital waterway that greatly facilitates defense priblems, is like wise considerably improved by the bases made available in the Carib bean and on the coast of South America. From the -Atlantic side, however, there is need for additional bases. The fleet, based on Hawaii, is too far away to guard against occa sional raiding expeditions. m?mrn?mmm ' Consequently, interest is being tak en in the possibility that the United States may secure the right to use British beses in the South Pacific Ocean. In fact, before this column can be read, an announcement may be made in regard to the possible use of British bases as far away as Sing apore. Such an agreement will vastly en hance the efficiency of our Pacific fleet, make possible adequate defense of this country's interest in the Far East and, possibly, have a far-reach ing effect upon the efforts of Japan to acquire supremacy over French Indo China, the Dutch Indies and other acreas in the Far East. The extension "of naval and air bases in the 'Atlantic and Pacific, taken together with the adoption of conscription, indicates that public opinion in the United States has violently shifted away from the isola tion theory aid that this nation' is prepared to assume its responsibili ties as the strongest power in the world. Naturally, there are some risks in volved, but, sooner or later, the peace of the world will have to be upheld by force and the only question now open is whether the dominance will be that of the totalitarian group or the dem ocratic peoples, represented almost exclusively by Great Britain and the United States.

More than 4,000 Bed Cross nurses will be called to active duty by the Army before July 1941, according to Miss Mary Baird, National Director j of the American Bed Cross Nursing Service.
