_??i???? /tOODFOR FREEDOM I u~. r ;*;;; - ?? Collections of seed for "Pood for fusrtnm Gardens in 1942 Gardens" will be offend by seed dealers throughout the State, according to L. P. Watson and H. R. Niswonger, extension horticulturists of N. C. State College. Seven wholesale seed distributors have been ashed to quote prices on the garden seed collection, and county farm agents of the Exten sion Service have been asked to con tact reliable local seed dealers about the sane service. Every North Carolina farm family been requested to gtdw a home garden as a part of their oontribu - tkm to the Nation-wide "Food for Freedom" campaign. To make it easier for rural people to achieve thin patriotic goal, the two Exten sion horticulturists hare compiled s list of vegetable seed, together with varieties and quantities of each, necessary to feed a family of five. The dealers have been asked to Wfdp the seed in labeled packages and deliver all the seed at the same tim? The collection includes ap proximately 26 pounds of seed, and is a sufficient quantity to furnish Beth fttsh vegetables and s supply for canning. ' The seed, and the amount needed for a garden to feed a family of five, are of the following vegetables: Bush T.fmn beans, 2tt pounds; pole Lima Hivwn, 2% pounds; hush snap beans,, 5 pounds; pole snap beans, 2Va pounds; beets, Vh ounces; cabbage, 1 ounce; carrots, 2% ounces; col lards, 1 ounce. Cucumbers (slicing), .2^ ounces; lettuce, 1 ounce; okra, 2% ounces; field peas, 2Vt pounds; garden peas, 2* pounds; peppers, % oun"; i onions (sets), 5 pints; kale, ounces; spinach, 2% ounces; squash, 2% ounces; sweet corn, 114 pounds; mustard, 5 ounces; tomatoes, Vi ounce; and turnips, 5 ounces. Says '41 Cotton Prices Due to Quotas and Loaft Cotton growers of this county will make an important decision affecting their income from the next crop when they vote in the referendum, De cember 13, to decide whether market ing quotas shall apply to. the j.942 crop, says G. T. Scott, Johnston County farmer and chairman of the State AAA committee. "Marketing quotas and cotton loans were largely responsible for the high level of 1941 cotton prices," Mr. Scott declares, adding that "the effective ness of this price protection in the future depends upon whether grow ers vote to hold total plantings with in the goal set for 1942. Loans, un der the law," he explains, "will not be available unless quotas are ap proved." The chairman believes that good prices for the 1942 cotton crop will not be brought about by wartime con ditions alone, and points to the gupply-and-demand situation to sup port his point. According to U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates, there is now a carry-over of 12JJ00, 000 bales.of cotton on hand. The estimated 1941 production of 10,710, 000 H1? will run the total on hand to approrimately 23 million bales. The United States will consume about 11 million bales the current con sumption year and will export one* million more, leaving a1 carry-over of about 11 million bales this time next year. "In view of these supply-demand. figures, it is evident that marketing quotas and loans accounted for the favorable 1941 price, and it ia as necessary in 1942 as in 1941 to com- i ply with acreage allotments," the' chairman said. ? ? ?

"' ' ' i Red Cross Equipped to Meet Emergency Of the Civilian Populations in the Philippine Islands and m Hawaii with Medical Stations ? ? ? --- * ? ? * i?- ? ? 1 Washington, Dec. 7.?American Red Cross Chapters in Manila and Honolulu were prepared to meet first aid, evacuation and other problems of the civilian population following today's air raids by the Japanese, Chairman Norman H. Davis announc ed today. Twelve medical stations, fully equipped with doctor, nurse and first aid personnel, were ready in the Philippine Islands, and ten similar medical stations were on hand in Hawaii, he announced. Charles M. Forster, Manager of the Philippine Red Cross, had begun preparations for Red Cross relief in the event of enemy attack, with full cooperation of Philippine Govern ment officials some months agi, Chairman Davis stated, and the na tional Red Cross had sent him sup plies, including material for 60,000 garmedits for children. Evacuation schemes were complete and had un dergone rehearsal. Forster cabled two days ago. One plan included establishment of a children's evacu ation hospital, in addition to the medical first aid stations. Several national staff members of the American Red Cross were sent from Washington to. the Philippine Islands to aid Forster, and six na tional staff members were sent to strengthen the Hawaii Red Cross. 1 Both Chapters had been assured of 1 full cash grants to meet any needs for shelter, medical aid, clothing and food for evacuated or homeless pop- 1 illations. A cable received from Forster two days ago stated the Chapter there had set up three medical stations in ' Manila, including the port area. Conservation Rates Announced By Floyd I i Rates of payment for planting within special crop allotments under the 1942 Agricultural Conservation Program of the AAA have been an- 4 nounced, according to E. Y, Floyd* i State AAA executive assistant at State College. The rates and other provisions of the program, explains Mr. Floyd* are "directed at greater conservation achievements on individual farms and at helping farmers attain record pro duction of farm products needed un- 3 der the Farm Defense Program," Payment rates, except for com mercial wheat, are sojgewtift lower than in 1941. The rales include: one and one-quarter cents per pound for cotton; 10 and one-half cents per bushel for commercial wheat; $1.45 ) per ton for peanuts; two cents per pound for commercial potatoes; seven-tenths of neent pfc- pound for flue-cured tobacco, and seventh tenths of a cent per pound for hurley tobacco. I *% ;. -..fr' |f ?:. v.l \ Payment for complying with acre- " age allotments will be made in ratio to the degree to which soO-buildmg * goals are carried out on. the farm. In lieu of total soil-depleting al lotments established under past pro grams, the 1942 program provides' that a specified percentage of crop land be devoted to soil-building ahd soil-conserving uses. 'This provision in the 1942 pro gram, bolstered by continuation in 1942 of the increased funds Sit aside < in 1941 for carrying out soil-building practices, is a forward step in the continued improvement of file coun try's soil," Floyd said. The AAA officer stressed the im portance of farmers planning their programs this year in line with de fense needs. The conservation pro gram is aimed at increasing produc tion of specific crops needed for de fense. . ' v Strategy Will Help In Insect Control Insects cost North Carolina farm ers thousands of dollars annually in reduced yields and quality of crops. J. 0. Rowell, Extension entomologist of N. C. State College, says it will pay farmers to study insects and their habits, and develop means of combatting them. "The insects of fruit and garden crops," he says, "can be controlled economically by insecticides or chemi cal measures. But with field crops,, the relatively low* value prohibits such costly methods in most instan ces. Hence, the farmer is forced to resort to strategy, to a large meas ure, in fightihg many of the field crops insects, especially those that inhabit the. soil." Rowell says the most. elementary principle in protecting field crops from their insect enemies is that of keeping the two separated in as far as is possible. This principle Is em bodied in crop rotations. For example, the entomologist ex plains, many of the insects which breed normally on grass, also attack the .grain crops but do-not bother le gumes. Therefore, insects often can be controlled by avoiding the plant ing of grain crops, especially corn, on land which previously was in. sod. "Crop rotations also tend ^separ ate the crop from its pests if the rotation, system includes, as it should, crops which are unrelated and hence do not have the same group of pests," Rowell stated. "If the crop is grown on the same land for many successive years, its pests will increase each year," In conclusion, Rowell said': "Crop rotatioha are a complete control measure only in a few instances. But this system will aid in reducing in jury." jBjjraR?
