Buy Hybrid Seed Corn On Records Farmers should be very care-. ful in their purchases of hybrid seed corn and buy only on perfor-: mance records made under North Carolina conditions, said research men of the State College Exp o i ment Station and directors of the ; North Carolina Crop Improvement' Association at a recent meeting at Raleigh. I They pointed out that some hy brids which did well in the Mount ain and Piedmont sections were wholly unsuited for production in the Coastal Plain areas. On the' other hand, a certain hybrid gave good yields in the Coastal Plain j and was relatively resistant t'.1 weevil damage and loging or wind* damage, but was not suited toi production in other areas. j Experiment .Station tests show ed that the yields of some hybrids were no better, or even less, than the yields of some of the stand- i ard varieties of corn already be-) ing grown. In other eases, eer-i tain hybrids gave outstanding! yields which were considerably a bove the best yields of the pure-' bred varieties now being grown, j Hybrid corns do not carTy names! such as “Jarvis” but are specified by numbers such as U. S. 2^2 or N. C. 1932. A “W” following the numbers means that it is a white corn and a “Y” shows that it is! a yellow corn. j The Crop Improvement Associa-! tion urges growers to consult Cir-' cular 134 before making purchas es of hybrid seed corn. This pub lication gives the official perform ance records of the hybrids for 1942 and 1943. A free copy of these results may be obtained by writing the North Carolina Im-: provement Association, State Col lege, Raleigh.

This is one of the Redistribu tion Stations ■ nnmand of the AAF Redistnm. . ('ent er. At an AAF Redistribution .edi tion, AAF returnees from thea ters of operation are examined by specially selected medical and classification officers whose joint findings are used in determining new assignments. Theme of the AAF Redistribution program is designation of each man to duty for which he is best fit-ed and, if possible, to duty for which he de sires. Returnees live at a Redis tribution Station under conditions that encourage natural response to processing, a majority of their two week stay being devoted to rest and recreation. AAF personnel, including en listed men and officers alike, are assigned to a Redistribution Sta tion upon their return to the U nited States, but do not report to the Station until completing a fur lough or leave of approximately three weeks.

Good Seed Stock i or V ams Needed Sweet potato growers from 12 counties in Kustern Carolina de clared at a recent meeting with representatives of the Extension Service, the State Department of Agriculture, and the Agricultural Experiment Station that practices fur growing the crop should be improved. They recommended better sourc es ot selected seed; also seed and plant treatment. They emphasized proper fertilizers, the right type of soil, and proper spacing of tne plants in the row. They called special attention to protecting the crop j i om diseases in the field and in the curing barn. They espec ially stressed better grading and packing, pointing out that it was must important to give the con . uo.ing public just what it wants. B. B. Holder of Liliington, Houle 2. at a recent meeting of farmers and county agents, ex plained that good seed stock was of prime importance in success fully growing sweet potatoes, ac cording to J. Y. Lassiter, Exten sion horticulturist at State Col lege. "Seven years ago J. B. Gourley, then an assistant county agent but now marketing specialist of tiie .-,ate Department of Agricul ture, suggested that i feed my po tatoes to the hogs and buy good seed. J fed half of them to the hogs and bedded the other half. Three years later 1 waked up to the fact that Gourley was right and bought some good seed stock” Holder said. “Since that time 1 have been selling out *1,000 worth of plants each year to neighbors, i handle my sweet potatoes just like they were eggs and it pays. Last year 1 set 3.1 acres on June 20 and produced 993 bushels of No. l’s. How does that compare with to bacco?’ he asked. Machinery For increased Food The food production goal an nounced for 194-1 is the highest on record. It calls for the largest planting program in the nation’s history — the planting of . 380, 000,00 acres, an increase of 16, 000,000 acres over 1943. "This vast production program will require the efficient utiliza tion of machinery in planting, cul tivating, and harvesting the farm products needed,” says J. L>. Ulickle, Extension agricultural engineer at State College. Although more new machinery will be made in 1944 than in 1943, it may not be available in large quantities when it is needed. Also the quantity of new machinery probably will not be sufficient to meet the increased crou acreage and for replacement of worn e quipment. This means thta it is highly essential to have every usable machine now on the farms properly repaired and maintained for use in 194-.. CATGUT Catgut is needed in all hospitals. Many veterinarians are using sur : tures of specially prepared cotton > and plastic materials.
