QU KS I 10N—l an clay brick be made at home for a farm building? AN S W E R~ Aeeo rd i ng to A. F. Rreaves-Walker, professor of Ce ra mie Engineering at State Col lege, the manufacture of building lu iek on a small scale is almost nit of the question under present conditions. In the first place, he -ays. the clays in most sections of North Carolina are not suited for brick manufacture, and in the sec ond place, brick of excellent quality ran usually be bought at a lower price than the cost of manufact ure, considering the investment in equipment. QUESTION—If commercial n' trates continue to become scarce, what can a farmer do to overcome this shortage. ANSWER—G. Tom Prott. Ju'hn - on County farmer and chairman of the State USDA War Board, says farmers can plow and turn under lespedeza and other legume crops to add nitrogen to the soil. He suggests that farmers buy les pedeza seed for spring planting ,early as possible. Because of the war emerge .icy, he urges that farmers who have a surplus of les pedeza seed place them on the market as soil as possible. Plani ng lespedeza will earn one half unit, or 75 cents per acre, toward AAA soil building goal for the farm. QUESTION—Can a cow “hold up” her milk? ANSWER—Yes, a cow can hold up her milk, says Prof. Fred M. Haig of the State College Animal Industry Department, but she does not do so willingly. The secretion of milk is an entirely voluntary process. This condition is caused by some unusual conditions around the barn, which causes the cow to become nervous. Excessive nois s barking dogs, unkind treatment, and irregular feeding are almost sure to make a cow “hold up” her milk. Cows handled gently will seldom “hold up” their milk. Expect Tar Heel Farmers To Top New Soybean Goal North Carolina farmers are ex pected to no over the top in meet ing the revised goal for soybean production in 19-12, says G. Tom Scott, chairman of the State US DA War Board. New goals for soybeans and pea nuts for oil, together with a floor under prices for each of these crops recently were announced by Sec retary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard. The Nation’s soybean production mark was increase:! to r.ine million acres and the peanut goal to five million acres, with 3, -100,000 acres desigend for oil pro duction and the remaining 1,600, 000 acres for edible nuts, the same as last year. At the same time, Government J purchase prices were set for soy j beans at $1.00 per bushel, farm lias's, for designated varieties of V. S. No. 2 Yellow and peanut pi ices were placed at $82 per ton for U. S. No. 1 White Spanish type lor oil and $70 per ton for Class A Virginias. Both basic prices are subject to location an i | grade ditferentials. I The new soybean goal is appro ' ximately 28.6 percent above tiie | goal set last fall, when North Ca rolina’s quota was placed at 225. j 000 acres, Scott said. A correspond ing increase of the State goal would place production at appro ximately 289,000 acres for 1912. Following announcement of ; goals last fall, Scott pointed out, a survey of soybean producers in North Carolina resulted in pledg : es of 387,306 acres this year, or j 98,366 acres above the new figure. | Raising the peanut goal to 3, [ 100,000 acres for oil purposes is ! nearly double the previously re quested 1,900,000 acres for this ; use, Chairman Scott said that lr.; ! higher price set for peanuts should 1 result in more than double the ! 86,867 acres pledged in the De cember canvass by farmers of the State. I _ __ Cotton Ginning Census report shows that 27.39'! bales of cotton were ginned in Ha lifax jaunty from the |rop of 1941 prior to January 16, 1942 as compared with 26,120 bales for the icrop of 1940.

Monoxide Gas Kills Chicks In Brooders “Keep 'em Laying” is the poul try farmer’s adaptation of the fa mous war time slogans of today. C. F. Parrish, Extension poultry-. man of N. C. State College, says, "to keep ’em laying, we must k"< p ’em living.” He reports that thousands of baby chicks are killed in brooder houses of North Carolina every year by carbon monoxide (the gas that kills motorists who start their autos in closed garages). E-I nough of the deadly gas may ac cumulate in a poorly ventilated brooder house, heated by a wood, coal, or oil-burning stove, to kill every baby chick in a short time. “Protecting chicks from death by carbon monoxide is more im portant this year than ever be-' fore,”- Parrish declared, “because of war needs for eggs and poul try.” Carbon monoxide chick losses are often highest on cold, stormy nights, when windows and ventila tors are closed to protect the Birds from cold and dampness. As the burning flame in the brooder stove consumes oxygen, combustion be comes less complete, causing an accumulation of carbon monoxide | fumes. Soot collects, increasing, production of the deadly gas. At first the chicks become un- ( easy, go into a drowsy stupor,: their breathing becomes labored,j and their gait wobbly. As gas! poisoning progresses, they appear' chilly, gasp, fall, lie on their sides | with heads thrown back and gen- j erally die in spasms. “If these symptoms are noted” i the Extension specialist said, “the poultry-man should remove the j birds to fresh air immediately. 1 Even acutely affected bit-ds may recover in a few minutes. Theyj should not be brought out 'if a warm brooder house into the col l air, but rather into a warm room, free of carbon monoxide. Parrish says that the best in surance against carbon monoxide poisoning is a good no-draft venti lation through the brooder hull.- ■. VEGETABLES J. C. Beddingfield, unit demon stration farmer of Crab Creek township in Henderson County, produced $2,005.11 worth of vege tables on 15 acres last year thry extensive cultivation. Governor Urges on camps in t'he state have been closed in the interest of economy, with the inmates being trans.cn eU to other camps in order that these can operate at full capacity. The Commission in a formal res olution, approved this action and authorized him in conjunction with the chief highway engineer and the director of prisons, to close other camps in cases where it ap pears that \ isirabl' economics can be effected. This action, how ever, would be subject to the ap proval of the commissioner in whose district the proposed shut down would occur.

Johnston of Kenly Sugar Shortage Makes Substitutes Necessa Hunter C. Phelan, president of ..'olonial Stores Incorporated, a •nain grocery company operating iig Star, Little Star, Pender and lingers hood Stores throughout .tie Southeastern territory, vvnen ,sked for a statement regarding ..,e sugar shortage said: "Ine resiriciion oi sugar sup plies due Lo the emergency pres :.,ts a diflicult and embarrassing irobieni to all grocery retailers, i ne situation generally is not un derstood. Some of this country s esser sources oi supply have been ui oil hy reverses sustained in ,ne l’acilic. Another portion ol tne supply is being diverted to the -'vl .es and still another portion, here : . iore .available lor domestic co i- j • uinption is being converted into j • lustrial alcohol for use in tne j l.anufaeture of explosives and .her munitions of war. As a r. - i suit, available suiiplies of sugar j lor household consumption me temporarily limited. The fact is in-1 escapable that until this condition I ias been corrected we should all .‘bercise reasonable restraint in j our consumption of cane sugar. f substituting corn sugar, honey, I corn syrup, maple sugar and othev j sweetenings wherever possible and] no one should suffer any real hard ship. Price controls nave been es tablished so that there seems to 1 be no probability of excessive' prices such as prevailed during the last World War. •'Since the sugar situation is so lireetly related to tne prosecution if the War, everyone should ac ■ept this condition as an opporta lity to make a very real contribu .lon to the success of our armed iorces and to health and morale ol jur Allies by refraining from hoarding. "The exact amount of sugar which will be released to retailers throughout this territory from time to time is now unknown. For the present all food retailers are allowed a percentage of the sugar sold during the corresponding per iod ol the preceding year. If such stores allocations are exhausted there will he no sugar in the stores until another allocation is made by the Government. This simply means that advance purchases, or hoarding, by some absorbs the cur rent supply, leaving no sugar for those who have attempted to do their proper part by buying norm ally and moderately. "For days executives of Colon ial Stores Incorporated have en deavored to devise a plan to pre vent hoarding by a selfish few. This Company has thousands ol regular customers who depend up on it for their food supplies. It is therefore, only fair that sugar re ceived by i. _ Company should be sold to them. In an attempt to 1 safeguard the interest of our cus- ■ tomers wt. have this week restrict ed the sale sugar to one pound with each dollar purchase in the j stores of this Company and a maximum of five pounds of sugar ; to each customer, regardless of the ; total purchase. Mins is tne only metnocl wmcn has presented itself as being most likely to insure each of our cus tomers his or her pro-rate share of our total supply. This is done sole ly in the interest of our customers and with no intention of promoting the sale of groceries. Past exper ience indicates that this amount of sugar per dollar of sales is ‘he average amount used by our cus tomers, therefore, it should be un necessary for any one to purchase more than a normal supply of gro ceries in order to obtain the sugar he needs. "On the other hand, if su-'ar sales per customer are limited in sibe without these other conditions of sale, our customers have no as surance that our supplies - their supplies - will not be bought by customers of other stores which have not provided this safeguard and whose supplies have conse quently run out. e have no assur ai ee that we will be able to con tinue to sell sugar even in this a mount, but whatever the size of our supply it will be distributed sj nt lust week end at his home here.
