have little to' worry' 'about in meet
ing the mineraf requirements of their
birds,-" ssays Dearstyne.' ."However
those who are home-mixing feeds and
purchasing ingredients in the open
market should give careful considera
tion to a complete mineral balance in
the poultry feed."
He points out that calcium and
phosphate are needed for bone build
ing, and additional calcium for egg
shells and clotting of the blood.
Sodium is needed for the elimination
of the excess potassium contained in
most polltry feeds. Chlorine is a con
stituent of hydrochloric acid secreted
by the bird and necessary for the
preparation of proteins for digestion.
Iodine is necessary for proper
thyroid functioning. Sulphur is
found in relatively high amounts In
the feathers and eggs. Manganese
is present in the blood and tissue,
and is necessary to prevent slipped
tendons, according to Dearstyne. Iron
and copper are important constituents
of the blood and enter into the eggs.
"Poultrymen should expect a de
crease in calcification of egp shells
in spring as birds are going out of
production. Unless thin shelled eggs
are found on a large scale, the diet
should not be blamed for the condi
tion," Dearstyne says.

Testis Reveal Early
Planted Grain Best
Experiment Station and field tests
in1 North Carolina show that the ear
ly 'planting of small 'grains and the
use1 of fertilizer at planting, except
where grains follow heavily fertilized
crops, ' are necessary ' in providing a
good winter cover and producing
high yields, says W. H. Rankin, in
charge of small grain fertility work
for the Experiment Station at State
College.
Fifteen field meetings will be held
about the middle of May and farm
ers will be given the opportunity of
studying the results of fertilization,
varieties, and other factors in small
grain production.
There are two official tests in each
of the following counties: Stanley,
Rowan, Davie and Guilford. Others
are located in Hoke, Moore, Anson,
Cleveland, Iredell, Wake and John
ston counties. Farmers will find an
nouncements of the meetings appear-
press.
"In spite of the fact that later
planted grains have come through
the winter in good condition and
made exceptionally fine growth, still
the early planted grains and those
receiving fertilizer at planting are
showing decided gains," Rankin re
ports.
Many farmers count on selling the
majority of their tobacco and finish
ing the picking of cotton before they
turn to the sowing of small grains,
or even the preparation of the land
for the crops. This throws the crop
late and results in lower yields.
Rankin suggests that farmers plan
along in July" and August as to which
fields will be put into grain and work
out plans for breaking the land and
seeding the crop at a relatively early
date. This practice will also help
to give better fall and spring graz
ing, especially when it is combined
with adequate fertilization at
planting.
FELLOWSHIP GROUP MEETS
The Youth Fellowship Group of
the Winfall Methodist Church met on
Monday evening, April 24, at the
church. Harriet Lou Layden, presi
dent, called the meeting to order.
The program opened with all singing
"Jesus Calls Us." Lena Mae Sawyer
led the devotional. The Rev. J. D
Lranford gave the Bible story.
"Have Thine Own Way, Lord," was
sung and Stephen Elmore, who was
in charge of the program, gave a
reading, "A Wedding in Budapest,
Kumania." Dorothy Faye White and
Harriet Lou Layden rendered a duet,
"Ivory Palaces."
The "Kingdom Is Coming" was the
last song and the meeting closed by
all repeating the League Benediction

The Natural Side Dresser
Over 500,000 tons of Chilean Soda have been brought
in for this year's crops. More is expected in time for side
dressing, but there are distribution complications. The
War Production Board and the War Food Administra
tion control distribution of all nitrogen supplies under
an allocation program. Principally, this program takes
into account three things: (1) total supply of nitrogen
products; (2) their respective locations and capacities;
(3) crop requirements. So, if Chilean Soda happens to
be scarce in your section, it is a war-time dislocation, a
temporary scarcity.
If you havan'tbaen able to get the Chilean Soda
you need for top dressing and aid drssaing.
1 don't blame your ierttliaar man. Put the blame
. what it belongs ... on Hltlar and Hlrohlto.
A vast supply of natural soda is right where nature put it
In Chile. Large quantities are ready for shipment
Every possible ton of this vital material is being brought
here in time for this year's crops.

Steel Replacing Wood
Lumber and paper used in packing
have become such critical items in
connection with war use that- the
Army Ordnance Department will ship
loaded artillery shells abroad in steel
tubes.
The quantity of steel that will be
used to provide these tubes is enor
mous. It is estimated, in some quar
ters, that about seven million tons of
steel will be required. This is more
than the automobile industry used
in 1941.
The farmers of this section who
have been urged to provide pulpwood,
will readily see from this announce
ment that there is a great need for
their continued exertions along this
line. The pulpwood campaign is not
based upon imaginary needs or to
provide newsprint. It is a vital raw
material of warfare and every farm
er who makes it his business to pro
vide pulpwood contributes to reliev
ing a serious shortage.

TOMORROW!
Tomorrow and the next day and the next 6700 cars will
wear out and have to be junked. Will your aging car be
one of them? It may be unless you give it all the care
it needs.
Right now that care should include changing over
winter-grade lubricants to lubricants of summer grade.
All key parts should be serviced to save wear. To do
that job in the way your car manufacturer recommends,
Sinclair Dealers offer Sinclair-ize for Summer Service.
Have your car Sinclair-ized now.
