THURSDAY, DEC. 2nd, II PAGE SIX THE NEWS - JOURNAL. RAEFORD, N. C. (till nrrjwujiMji fP THE AGRICULTURAL p EXTENSION SERVICE Neighborhood Farm Leaders Are Needed Neighborhood farm leacers, both men and wonwn. will form the shock troops in the "Food For Freedom" fight on the home front in 1944. says Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State Extention Service. "Every c'mmnnity in the State must be reached and farm men and women must take the leadership in encouraging their neighbors to grow the right kind of food and feed crops for the war effort, the Director points out. He calls attention, however, that ;iH citizens must cooperate in the campaign because fod conservation, food saving, and support of rationing are necessary to bring the fight to a successful conclusion. He reminds farmers that there will probably be sufficient labor to plant and cultivate the crops next year but that harvesting will be a great pro blem. No crops should be lost in 1944 I because i,f a shortage of labor. Neigh- j bors should cooperate with neighbors I in every way possible, just as they did this year, to bring this about. : In the "Foo.i Fights For Freedom" campaign, seventeen agricultural and allied organizations are taking part and in every county in North Caro- ! lina there are definite plans for future work. "Every farmer should acquaint himself with the work of the com- : mittee in his county and give it all the aid possible," Schaub says. O ! State College Hints To Farm Homeirmkers Grimes can best be removed from dirty work clothes by soaking them in a solution of kerosene and water. Do not use this system for your general laundry though - it's not necessary i tor most things. The general pro portion to follow is 2 cups of kero sene to 10 gallons of lukewarm water. Again, don't use hot water because it will set the stains and dirt rather i than dislodge them Soak clothes in the kerosene water . for about half an hour .or until you , can see that dirt and grime are pretty j well loosend up. When you're ready to do the actual washing squeese out ! as much of the kensene water as pos- i sible and go on t e next stop.

What is the purpose of phosphate in the garden fertilizer? A. Phosphorus is necessary for plant cell division, and it is especially essential for fruit and scd produc- tion, says II. R. N'iswonger, horticul- turist. He points t ut that it some- times stimulates the formation and growth of roots, gives a start to plants, and hastens maturity. Super- phosphate is needed in the produc tion of snap and lima beans, corn, peas, peppers, tomatoes, okra, squash, cucumbers, cantaloupes, cabbage, col lards and eggplant. Q. What kind of vessels are best for curing p.'rk? A. Oak barrels or large stone jars are most satisfactory vessels for cur- ; ing pork, says Ellis Vestal, swine specialist. A clean container is ab solutely essential for successful meat curing. It should always be washed ! out and thoroughly scalded before using.

Towns at La munu. it p Fire Control Vefry Important Factor Of Wood Growth The urgent demand for wood pro ducts and the excellent price being payed at this time is causing the farm woodlands to be heavily cut. Nature is going to need help and will expect assistance to restock these fields ac cording to J. C. Hutchison, Asst. sojl Conservationist of the Pee Dee Cape Fear Soil Conservation District. The most important assistance the farmers will be able to give will be to give help control fires and keep them out of the woods. A heavy crop of seed longleaf pine usually occurs at intervals of about every seven years. This year the seed crop is excellent and the rapidity of restocking is going to depend a lot on the protection from fire the wood lands are given. The seed of the longleaf germin ates in the fall in the first few weeks after they teave the trees and il fire s kept out in a few years there should be an excellent stand on otherwise idle land. The farmers are urged to sell their timber while the need is urgent but be sure and observe good foretry practices in cutting and management which will assure good future crop. Army Illiterates Get Training By New STU At Bragg Ablc-Bodied Men Without Ed ucation Now Beins; Inducted I A ,wl Armv TftQplinE " T 1. -.,. I Rs" Fort Bragg, N. C, Nov. 30. - Until recent months thousands of able-bodied men have been unable to serve their country at war because they could not meet certain Army educat ional requirement, but under a new ly inaugurated program the Army now inducts these men and gives them special training until they are able to meet the Army standards. The Fort Bragg Special Training Unit, which is one of the 23 now operated by the Army, is for Negro troops, and is a part of the Reception Center, commanded by Lt. Col. Hor ace L Johnson of Smithfield, N. C. Since the STU here begun operat ion on June 13, 1943, the unit has received about 4,000 men, of which over 2,500 have completed their train ing and have been transferred to other organizations where their ser vices are needed. The importance of the program becomes apparent when one realizes that these men, without this training, would have been lost o NEWSPAPER PULPWOOD COMMITTEE VONVS OVER AA1EMCA Paying tribute to tti fighting men who fell on foreign fields dur ing World War I. In diana has erected at hi capital of Indianapolis thii striking War Memorial, Your War Memorial; U. S. War Bonds to the Armed Forces. Without publicity or ado, the spec ial Training Unit is doing an effici ent and successful job. Headed by Major Simon N. Graham, former principal of the Ronake Rapids, N. C. high school, the personnel is made up of men picked for their experience in educational work. Under the cap able guidance of the STU personnel the trainees are given daily instruct ions in basic education subjects. The course has bee standarized and is taught from special textbooks and charts prepared by Army experts. Orientation into military life and mil itary training is also an integral part of the program. On completion of their train ing, the men are graduated from the STU and transferred out to other assignments. These men are fully qualified to serve in the Army and take their places in the ever-growing of ranks their comrades-in-arms. The importance of the Special Unit program can hardly be over estimated. It benefits both the Army and the men themselves. The Army gains thousands of first-rate fight ing men, and the men receiving train ing that should prove invaluable to them both in the Army and in later civilian life. o o 9 j lew fffcirp mp THIS community has every right to be proud of the way it is meeting the appeal for more pulpwood. We are proving that we can get out the wood. Now let's keep it coming I This war isn't won yet not by a long shot. Our boys will be fighting for quite a while. They will be needing ammunition, food, medi cal supplies and all these things that are shipped in paperboard containers are made from pulpwood. Pulpwood is our wartime job. Pulpwood can still be a bottleneck, holding up America's war effort. Our responsibility is to see that it does not. No boy shall die because we have failed. m.:I farrr:!.vi t Hoosier Monument Our dead have left their own memorials; the starved and hound ed people of captive Europe can do little more than hope and pray, but to fret Amer icana is left the choice of their own future.
