FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1946. To Aid IIcnis-Buiteins The ecuta need for housing to the United State justifies the imposition of drastic and far-reaching restric tions upon all construction except homes. The people generally agree that veterans, home from the ware, are entitled to have a chance to build homes for themselves and their fam ilies. There is universal approval of the idea that veterans should have priorities. If this is a correct appraisal f public sentiment there, is only one way to guarantee home construction. That is to make certain that the materials, out of which homes are built, are available. If veterans should have priorities they should have effective action, not phraseology that will put building materials where they can get them at reason able prices. We Must Feed The Hungry The people of the United States have been asked "to eat less" in or. i der to secure food for shipment U Europe and Asia, where millions of people face starvation unless tney are the beneficiaries of the generosity of the United States and other na tions. The Department of Agriculture says that a reduction of 26 per cent in the consumption of wheat and wheat products is necessary to pre vent starvation in the occupied coun tries, in parts of Asia and elsewhere. This is in addition to the wheat that will be saved by the conservation pro gram that increased the flour extrac tion rate and curtailed the use of wheat in mixed livestock feeds. A National "Famine Emergency Committee has been named, with former President Herbert Hoover as honorary chairman. Mr. Hoover made a great reputation after the last World War in feeding the Bel gians and other suffering people in Europe. He believes that a Food Administrator, with complete auth ority, is necessary and that all con trol of food, now scattered in differ ent governmental agencies, should be lodged in the "Secretary of Agricul ture as Food Administrator. Following a conference at the White House, attended by Mr. Hoov er, Chester Davis, Secretary of Com merce Wallace and a number of oth ers, it was Stated, as a conclusion of the group, that more could be done to save food by voluntary self-rationing than by a system of government rationing orders. We are inclined to doubt the correctness of this conclu sion, but, if it will work, it is to be preferred to any government attempt to compel people to follow orders. We have commented before upon the moral obligation which rests up on the people of the United States, along with the other victorious pow ers, to prevent starvation among the people of the war-devastated areas, even including those in enemy coun tries. Prior to the unconditional sur render of Germany and Japan, the problem of feeding the populations belonged to the Nazi and Japanese governments. Upon the completion of the surrender, the problem auto matically transferred itself to the victors, who became the only powers able to function effectively. Drive Well Directed So far as we have been able to learn Perquimans County was the first county in this area to meet its 1946 Red Cross quota. Much credit for this achievement is due to the co-chairmen, Miss Frances Man ess and Mrs. W. H. Oakey and their vol unteer solicitors, all of whom did a splendid job in completing success fully the campaign within a short time. The response on the part of the; public is also commendable, for as in past drives the people of this county gave freely toward a cause for which all of us are familiar. In connection with this 1946 drive, we note at the same time that in creased enthusiasm, on the part of the public, is being manifested in the activity of the local Red Cross Chapter, and it is our hope that this interest is maintained throughout the years, for Red Cross is an or ganization that functions in peace as well as in war. Hoarded Shirts And Nylons The Civilian Production Adminis tration, after investigating inventories of some manufacturers, has taken steps to force into the open market hoarded stocks of nylon hosiery and men's shirts. If manufacturers re fuse to sell from their excessive in ventories, they will be cut off from scarce material and ordered to halt production. The OPA charges that one manu facturer of Nylon hose carried an inventory of 1,760,000 pairs of Ny lons on January 31st, which "were substantially" more than his produc tion during the month. Another shipped only 7,716 pairs of stockings although his inventory totalled 362,- 596 pain. Something like the same condition was found in the operation of two shirt manufacturers who had an inventory of 870,000 shirts. The report of the OPA deals with only four manufacturers. It is .im possible from these figures to con clude that there has been a general hoarding of scarce commodities but inventories have been under study for some months. WHO KNOWS? Mother Nature A great deal has been written on why farm woodlands are important to a successful farmer. It has been pointed out, for ex ample, that the pulp wood cut from a farm woodlot will give its owner a regular extra cash dividend. And it has often been explained that pulpwood cutting can be done during off-seasons and that, by using proper forestry methods, a woodlot can be expected to grow healthier trees as time goes on. Yet there is another important rea ' son. This reason is Mother Nature 'herself. . ' . We know that Nature created three ; distinct types of soil: land suitable for cultivation, grazing land and land best fitted for growing trees. It has been the sad experience of many an unhappy farmer that, by stripping his woodland of trees and ploughing under his pastureland, he merely succeeded in reducing the fer tility of his surrounding acres. Science has proven that both pas tureland and woodland are vital forces in protecting and preserving the fertility , of adjacent land. This is so because pasture grass and trees . create a reservoir for keeping mois . ture in the soil -while preventing top : soil from Wowing away; Without this natural method the world would soon become a great "dustbowL" X Farmera who break the laws of - Nature coon find that Nature win re- pay them for their foolishness by re ' ducing their crop yields each year un t til their lands are barren. v- A successful farmer recognizes the .. differences in soil. He produces an- : ,nual crops on certain lands. : His cat-i th tie graze on nearby pastures. ; And! f always come land is reserved for f grmriag top quality : pulpwood evj '.those acres where pulpwood has prov- , en tU the best crop.

" Brown also suggests that deliveries those that are irregular in shape and both the large and small sizes. "The interests of the hatcberyman and the producer of hatching eggs are very closely related," Brown says, "and of hatching eggs to the hatchery be best results are obtained when both made at least once a week because eggs that are held too long may de cline In hatehability. "Cleaned eggs should not' be sent to the hatchery," says Brown, "be cause the eggs may have been damag ed in the cleaning process and the hatehability may have dropped." He also points out that the eggs should be carefully graded, removing those eggs with poor shell texture work for the same- high standards."

Today, the superior qualities of large peanuts of the Virginia Type are recognised not only by the TradeV heavy demand, bnt every gevernhtent production program has provided premium prices for large peanuts . . . even during the war when the need was for oH peanuts of any kind. Now, with no restrictions on acre age, growers will again be in position to claim premium prices for peanuts that meet these standards. The large Virginia Type is s peanut of distinc tive characteristics, and is in demand , because ef its siae and other superior qualities. A price schedule equal to 90 per cent of parity is guaranteed in 1946; and this guarantee amounts to sub stantially the same prices as were, guaranteed last season. , " V So, to help maintain this area's position of prestige among Jhs Pea nut .producing areas of the world- and because large Virginia Type Pea nuts win pay you morf pet acre we urge you to PLANT THEM THIS YEAR TO CAPITALIZE ON THE ADVANTAGES THAT EXIST!
