But has the war meant BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS to you? In many instances YES. The first stage of invasion has already pushed our casualties over the 100.000 mark. The gold sta:s which decorate thousands of our homes today are a challenge to the vast majority of us to do our best in the Third War Loan. No good American wants to see one more gold star added to the firmament of glory. We educate our youth for life, not for death. If they die. they die so that we might live. Every extra War B;nd you buy today will back the invasion so that the war will be shortened and so that there will be less blood, sweat and tears for you and your friends.

Knowles. re assisting North Carolina farmers j With the increased number of live stock in Hoke county and surrounding territories, farmers should make plans now to put in more acreage of small grains of all kinds, says A. S. Knowles, county agent. According to a survey recently made there is a tremendous shortage of grain and protein crops in this state. Farmers in some counties are already having to dispose of some livestock because of the grain and hay shortage. According to the N. C. de partment of agriculture it is expected that a critical shortage will develope before March of 1944. Farmers in this section have an op portunity to put in small grain now and avoid a possible shortage next spring. Adequate acreage should be planted for harvesting as grain and also an acreage put in to graze hogs and cattle on during the winter and spring months. Preparation Of Soil. The seed bed should be properly prepared by either plowing or discing and by using the section harrow to make a firm seed bed. Varieties For wheat varieties the Red Heart. Carala, and Hardired, St. 3. should be- planted. The varieties of oats that are adap table to this section are Fulgrain, strain 3 or 6, Letoria, Stanton, and Victory Grain, strains 1, 2, and 3. The best barley varieties for this section are Tennessee 6, Sunrise, Ire dell, and Hooded 26. There are several farmers in Hoke county who have a supply of good seed of some of the above varieties and it is suggested that farmers who intend to plant these small grians get seed on hand as soon as possible. Fertilizer The fertilization of small grain is very important and practices recom .v ended by the Experiment Station shoul.i be followed as closely as poss ible. For fertile soils farmers may be able t.i produce good yields by top dressing with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda but on soils that are low in or ganic matter such as Norfolk Sandy loam, fertilize with 300 pounds of 4-12-6 at planting time and top dress with 150 pounds of nitrate of soda in February or March. According to results of an experi ment carried out on the T. B. Up church farm this past year by the Ex periment Station, wheat yields on fer tile soils were about as good where no fertili7er was used at planting time and a top dresser of 225 pounds of so da used, as they were where 300 pounds of 4-12-6 plus 225 pounds of r.frate of soda as a top dresser was .used. The Experiment Station recom mends or: lighter soils that 300 pounds of fertilizer should be put at seeding time. Because of a scarcity of protein feeds and grains in some parts of the state, grazing crops such as rye or a mixture of oats, barley and wheat, should be planted as soon as possible to be utilized as grazing crops. Ex periments have shown that where grazing crops are provided for poultry that 10 to 20 per cent of the grain feed can be saved and for hogs and cattle around 10 per cent of the grain feed can be saved. O Farmers Urged To Place Orders For Lime, Seed Famiprc nf WnlfA .nuntv urhr, nlan ' - . . . . . - - v - i to obtain limestone, phosphate and winter cover crop seed as conservation materials this year should place orders immediately to insure delivery in time for seeding, according to A. S. Know les, County Agent. The time for seeding winter cover crops is here. This year, perhaps more than ever before, farmers should give thei' land all possible protection against erosion and do everything in i their power to increase fertility of the ! soil we must depend upon for food production in 1944. In an effort to encourage seeding of more winter cover crops and legumes and adding lime and phosphate this fall, the AAA recently announced a supplemental production practice al lowance which is available to produ cers participating in the AAA program to be used for obtaining additional conservation materials. Costs of ma terials obtained by farmers through j the AAA are deducted frjm payments I due them under the agricultural con- j servation program. Where the soil building goal is reached, additional conservation material can be secured, without further deductions against conservation payments. Application j must be made before November 15th and material used by December 31. In emphasizing the value of cover ! crops in talting er. sion. tests made at , the Statesville experiment station show that land left bare lost 65.43 t ,ns of soil per acre in one year while the same type of land seeded to win ter cover crops lost only .49 tons per , acre during the same period of time. I Similar tests have shown that cover' er. s prevent loss of nitrogen through lcachii.g in approximately the same proportion. The use of ground limestone and j pho-phate is recommended, by soil s!ev.ia!is'. both to increase fertility through promoting heavier growths of leg'i-nes and also to prJvide addition- I al p; r ire for livestock reeded in the food production program. All orders for seed are handled through local seed dealers, but must be approved by the county AAA com mittee and should be placed at the county AAA office. One car load of 60,000 pounds of Austrain winter peas is now availa ble at the Johnson company in Rae ford and it is expected that more will arrive in a few days. Orders for lime and phosphate should be made at once. These seed and materials should be put on land where tobacco and hay crops were harvested. They can also be put on cotton land, but early seedings have given better results. FOR SALE Cokfrs Red Heart Seed Wheat, Fulgrain Oats Abruzzi Rye Best for This Section.
