The situation as to out milk supply is gravte. . . At a recent hearing in the East, after testifying on de tails of milk marketing orders that can make or bieak the farmer. F. H. Sexauer. president of the Dairymen’s Lea gue Cooperative Association, again sounded a warning as to our future milk supply. He pointed out, for example, that milk must be priced at figures that will enable da iijmen to complete with hog raisers for corn. "There are numerous indications," he said, ‘ that dairy farmers will bp confronted with a severe feed shortage late this year or early in 1944. If and when they have no feed, farmers will be forced to slaughter their cows, then the pub lic will be faced not only with rationing of milk, but with a health endangering shortage, which may .even reduce.the supply of dairy foods for the armed forces as well a.s for children and industrial workers."

B Speight chairman of the local War Price and Rat ioning Board. "Prices are being set on a com munity basis,” Speight explained. "Each community, under present plans, ultimately will have its own set of specific maximum pric es known to the buyer and seller alike. The first of these prices went into effect in ID southeastern cities on Monday morning.” Cities in North Carolina in which such prices have been put into effect are Raleigh and Char lotte. The new series of prir •<, Mr. Speight said, will not. greatly al ter prices as they now exist in stores in any community. How ever, in a number of cases, pric es will be lowered, while, on the other hand, stores which are al ready operating under lower ceil ing prices than those niaximums set for the community, will tie required to adhere regidly to their lower prices. "By translating ceiling prices into specific dollars and cents maximums which every housewife will know, we are placing in each housewife’s hands the weapon to hold the price line,” Mr. Speight said. "I want to make it very clear that the new community prices represent the highest price that any store in a given locality can charge for an item. Any store may charge a lower price.” he de clared. SUGAR FOR CANNING Detailed announcement of the procedure by which housewives will obtain sugar for home can ning of this year’s fruit crop was m(>de today by H. B. Speight chair man of the local War Price and Rationing Board. As previously announced, home canning sugar is going to '■« al lotted on virtually the same I asi' as last year — that is, one pound for each four quarts (or c.v'it pounds) of finished fruit, and uy essentially the same pr >ceiLitv - written application to the local board. A top limit of 2d pounds • f sugar per person per year i> es tablished in the new regulations. Mr. Speight emphasized, howev er, that the 25 pound figure is a maximum, to be granted only in the relatively few cases where •« large amount of fruit will be put up. Departing from last year's provisions, any family - under the new regulation - can apply for sugar to put up jams, jellies, and preserves in amounts up to five pounds per person for this pur pose (Last yeai's preserving al lotment was one pound per per son.) However, dr. Speight ent ! phasized, any sugar obtained f r preserving purposes must be Jo j ducted from the total maximum of 25 pounds per person. MEAT PRICES Specific dollars and cents pric ' es for retail cuts of beef, veal, lamb, and mutton, postponed for further review last month, will become effective on Monday, May 17, Mr. Speight, chairman ui the local War Price and Ration ing Board said today. Originally scheduled to go ini effect on April 15, the prices es tablished at that time were with held for further consideration in the light of the president's ‘'hold the line” order. The revis id sche dule is expeceted to show price lower byf ram one to three cents than those set in the original pric ing order. Price and Rationing Information for Farmers of Certain Food ten'; POCLTRY The regulation governing ceil, ing prices for poultry has recent ly been simplified. Farmers ir Eastern North Carolina who sell live poultry may charge the fol lowing prices: When selling poul try to haulers or wholesalers, they may charge for all young poultry, (i.e., broilers, fryers and roasters) 28 1-2 c per pound; foi hens of all weights, 25c per pound; and for roosters 21c per pound, When selling to retailers or insti tutional users, they may charge for all young poultry 30c pet pound; for hens, 26 l-2c per pound and for roosters. 2 l-2c per pound Pepsi Cola Company, Lone Island City, N. v franchised Bottler: Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company *>t Littleton, N.

Many grow ers say; "Getting a smooth, evet stand of tobacco is naif the bat'l in making a good crop.” QUESTION-What can be dom to keep sweet potatoes fruit cracking? | ANSWER—Where potatot hat I cracked badly in the field in past years use 10 pounds of borax i ■-) acre broadcast before plant. Side dressing the crop with boi has not proven satisfactory, the cracking has not been ser;»u 5 pounds per acre may prove suf ficient. Largo amounts of borax, say 50 pounds per acre, will dam age the crop, iiorax not only con trols tracking but also improves the flavor and texture of the crop, says L. G. Willis, in charge of Soil Research Laboratory, at the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. SOLVES LABOR PROBLEM S. L.
