T, Weeks. Extension tobacco ~'H . ,a*of N r State College, c.C.’s attention t, a change made in the tehacc ' plat t bed fertilizer nmendat ns i t 1942. Grow ei - are now adv.-ed to use a 6 mixt ire, instea i of a 4-8 -3 it bed fertilize: which has been withdrawn from the market. "The change was made," Weeks said, "to effect a savings for far mers and to produce better re sults during the critical plant bed life of a tobacco plant. Only one pound of the 6-9-3 fertilizer will he needed for each square yard of plant bed space, whereas two pounds of 4-8-3 per square yard! are required.” The extension worker said that fertilizing materials are likely to he scarce in 1942 and 194:!. and the use of the higher analysis mixture may buy the 4-9-3 fertili zer. The 4-9-3 material should be applied at the rate of two pounds per square yard. "Growers should be careful not to use too much of the 6-9-3 fer tilizer." Weeks warned. "If more than one pound per square yard is applied there is a possibility that the germination of the seed will be very low." The recommendations were chan ged by the Tobacco Workers Con ference, comprising agronomists, tobacco specialists, and research workers of the flue cured tobacco producing states. The confer nice continued its recommendation that tobacco plant bed fertilizers be free of chlorines. It also urged that one fourth of the nitrogen be derived from nitrates, one fourth from natural organics, and one half from standard inorganics. Next Winter's Fuel Wood Should Be Cut Right Now Transportation is going to he one of the bottlenecks of the war program of the United States Na tions. R. W. Graeber, Extension forester of N. C. State College, i : Call W-oli-'l -FOR HAULING Local and Long Distance Hauling QUICK PICK-UP CAREFUL DRIVERS P R 0 M P T DELIVER Y WELDON TRUCKING CO. WELDON, NORTH CAROLINA This mask gives protection against attack by gas. Opaline Motor Oil protects engines against attack of heat and friction. Make protection your first thought when you buy motor oil for your car. Make sure the oil does not contain any “5th Columnist” wax and petroleum jelly—those non-lubricating substances that turn water-thin in heat. You can be sure by buying Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil. Opaline is freed of wax and petroleum jelly by an extra refining process. It protects your engine on the hottest day. And it lasts so long it saves you money. Play safe and ;save money. Ask your nearby Sinclair Dealer for Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil. • says farmers can help to solve this problem by cutting their next winter’s feul fod right now. •You will be saving wood and work by cutting your fuel supply now,” Graeber declared. "Tes.s reveal that green wood has fiom 10 to 35 per cent less heating va lue than wood cured nine months to a year. Even wood seasoned un der favorable conditions for only s x months has an advantage ever wood freshly cut.” The forester said that the tie-up railroads and other forms of transportation in hauling war ma tt rials may mean difficulties in mining cial and other types of fuel. Therefore, he said, the local market for fuel wood should ex p. rience a “boom.” In general, a cord of hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, asti, e.:n, locust, longleaf pine or cner ry is equal in heat value to a to 1 of coal. Species such as short l eaf pine, western hemlock, red guir 1 sycamore, and soft maple rcquir( | about one and a half cord' to e. (|ual a ton of coal in fuel value. Two cords of cedar, poplar, press, basswood, spruce and wnite pine are required to equal a ton of coal. j Graeber said that farmers can cut fuel wood by thinning their forests. He warned against sacri ■ firing potential saw timber to : meet the rising demand for stove 1 and furnace wood, and said that county farm agents of the Exten sion Service will be gled to help landowners select the trees to be cut for fuel wood. COTTON Domestic cotton consumption established a new daily record in November, and consumption may go even higher in the next few months if labor and equipment are available.
