Farmers Are Aske To Save Old Ba i I Burlap bags, once plentiful a bout the farm, are now in about tiiw same position as automobile tires, says Dr. 1. O. Schaub, di rector of the N. C. State College Extension Service. War in the Pacific has cut off normal supplies of tin* material used in making these bags, caus ing tlte Government to announce a bag conservation program. Secretary of Agriculture Wick ard has sent out an appeal to all agricultural agencies, asking them to encourage farmers to conserve the bags they receive supplies in and hasten them back into trade channels. Dr. Schaub pointed out suggest ions on bag conservation that would further the program. They include: Open bags by untying strings. Don’t cut the bag. Protect filled bags from rod ents. Rats and mice are the Num ber 1 enemy of bags. Store filled bags in dry, ven tilated places. This will protect both the bags and their contents. Remove acid-containing chemi cals (fertilizers, etc.) from bags as son as possible. Do not place bass near oil. manure or , ionable chemicals. Empty all bags as soon as. hie. 1’hey will last longer/ tied, beaten an,| hung " wire. If bass get wet, dry then,I the sun to proven, mildew rot. Sell the bags not needed son they may do double duty’ '| Sort bags by fabric (e'otti, J burlap- and by size. " During the emergency, -ehaub said, it is important t no bag be wasted, (hat no bar. carelessly damaged and that’, bags be used promptly.
