State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Can you tell me how to take better care of the belts on my farm machinery? A. David S. Weaver, at State Col lege, suggests that first of all belts must be kept clean. Machine oil should not be allowed to come in con tact with belts. Dampness makes belts become harsh and loosens the cement and, therefore, they should be kept dry. If it is necessary to run a belt under wet conditions, a belt capa- Q. Who classes the cotton samples sent in by ginners from one-variety cotton communities? A. These samples are classed by a Board of Cotton Examiners, says Dan F. Holler, Cotton Specialist nt State College. The examiners are all licensed Government classers and are checked daily by the USDA super vising board at Memphis, Tenn. The classers give the grade and staple of each bale of cotton. Before the class ing card is returned from Raleigh to the grower, the loan value of the cot ton is stamped on the classing card to guide the farmer in determining the value of his cotton.

The home economists say that "they are all the same." Homemakers Asked To Store Irish Potatoes Now Nutrition specialists with the State College Extension Service urge North Carolina homemakers to buy Irish po tatoes in large quantities this fall. This will help relieve the shortage of farm storage space, and assure fami lies of plenty of wholesome food through the winter. These rules are offered housewives who plan to take advantage of the na tional Victory Food Selection of Octo ber 21 to November 6. Inspect the potatoes carefully and take out all decayed potatoes before storing. Segregate the badly bruised or cracked potatoes and use them first. Be careful not to bruise pota toes, as bruises lead to decay. Find a dark, cool place, preferably one where the temperature does not rise much above 40 degrees. Howev er, in the fall a temperature as high as 60 degrees would be satisfactory for a month or six weeks. Potatoes stored thusly will keep for three to live months after harvest. For this storage, a celler, closet, back porch or barrel buried in the backyard will do. Do not place in the light, as it will cause them to turn greenish and taste bitter. hie nf withstanding dampness should ua i,c.-.H n n.t run n hplt vertically. I if possible. Keep proper tension on the belt for good power transmission and to lengthen the life of the belt. Q. Can I buy a pressure canner now for next year? J . Yes, says Ruth Current, of the State College Extension Service, i Find a dealer who has pressure can- I ners for sale. A supply of 7 quart j and 14 quart canners are available! under relaxed regulations. The sup- ply of the 14 quart canner is somewhat j limited.

Giles, engineer of the Stale College Experiment Station, urges all North Carolina farmers to have repair shops on their premises in which to repair their farm machinery this win ter. He offers these suggestions as a help in the construction of the shops. First, he says, there is no standard type of shop. It might be a corner in the barn, a part of the machine shed or garage, or a separate building. The important thing is to set saide a defi nite location that provides a place for every wrench and bolt. However, the ideal shop is one partitioned off at the end of the machine shed. It must be great enough to permit the repair of any size of farm machinery during bad weather. A stove is essential for 'the repair shop. Otherwise, a farmer could not work in it during cold weather, when it is necessary that he be getting his machinery ready for the spring rush. If electricity is available, the shop should be wired. This is to provide cheap power for the operation of a number of handy tools and to help with night repair jobs. O Fresh Vegetables Ceiling prices for 13 fresh vegeta at "country shipping points" are being announced by the Office of Price Ad ministration and the War Food Administration. Things always run better when somebody is in charge. Like baseball has a "czar" the lawyers, a bar association the doctors have a code of ethics and the like. An important industry here in North Carolina has taken the ini tiative in self-regulation. It's the Brewing Industry Foundation. Under Colonel Edgar H. Bain, as State Director, the brewers voluntarily organized to maw tain good conditions throughout the taxheel state. They cooperate with the authorities, with the army and navy, and the public welfare people and they're doing quite a job. From where I sit, they're pro tecting the investment of a lot of people who want to do busi ness the right way, at the same time assuring our state of an important source of steady tax O 194), SKfWWO INOUST1Y FOUNDAHOH Nor Ca bsaor H.

Not just because part of it's going to USO to do wonders for the morale of the fellows under arms, but because a good deal of it is going to help relieve distress at borne through local agencies as well as abroad, to help keep our allies in the fight So when you're asked to give to the united campaign of the National War Fund and our community's own war fund this month, re member me.
