Norstad, who at tlie age of 37 is one of the' ai niys youngest generals, grew up in St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Min neapolis, Minn., where his father was then pastor. Two of his broth ers are also in service—Sgt. R. Norstad, who is with the United States Army in the European Theatre of Operations, and Chap lain Frederick M. Norstad, who is with the Navy in Australia. “Global war has shown us a mong other things the immense importance of missionary work,’’; Archib shop Francis J. Spellman recently wrote from Rome to all churches in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York: “Our young men in the armed forces of the country, through their con tacts with missioners in distant lands and through observing the splendid results of missionary en deavor over the years, have brought the spirit of the missions nearer home through their letters and message. They have helped that work generously and taken p: ide in its accomplishments. The ■ ur has wrought much havoc on mi. si ns in many parts of the world. Missionary priests, broth ers and sisters need imperat.vely to twofold alms o. spiritual and material help. The material struc ture of the missions in many areas lias been demolished. Unusual strain and expense have impover ished foreign mission stations. To take advantage of the great post war opportunity there will be an urgent demand for many more trained and zealous missionaries, as well as pressing need for re storing old and building new mis sionary properties. The American Bible Society has completed its fourth year of war emergency work. During this time it has distributed to the U. S. armed forces and Merchant Ma rine. 4,250,843 volumes of Script ure which include 51,102 New Test aments, carefully packaged in wa ter proof containers, which the So ciety hopes “will never be read!” These are the books that have been placed on lifeboats and rafts yet should such an emergency rise there has been ample proof of the strength and comfort stemming from such reading of the Word.1 There are also 2,300 Bibles supplied 1 as letcern Bibles for Army chap-j esl and ships of the Navy and Merchant Marine. More than a half, million books have gone to pris- [ oners of war, refugees and civil ians in distressed areas of Europe. This work required scriptures in forty one different languages, a minautre tower of Babel, contain ing such unusual items as script ures in Afrikaans, Burnham and Galla. The first three way altar to be installed in a Naval hospital in' this country was dedicated recent-] ly at the U. S. Naval Hospital. St. Albans, L. I., in a new 300 seat' chapel. The revolving three way] altar permits quick changes foi the holding of Protestan, Catholic and Jewish services. Allow Pastures To Rest During Winter Pasture grasses need to store up food during the winter months so as to make a quick start next spring and therefore all livestock should now be removed from per manent pastures, says Dr. R. L. Lovvorn, forage crop agronomist of the Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. Alfal'a needs to go into winter quarters with several inches of growth to produce best yields. For the same reason, grasses need pro tection and a chance for develop ment that will bring quick growth in the spring. “Grasses which have been pro tected by brush and litter during the winter, make the quickest growth in the spring and provide the most grazing’’, according to Lovvorn. He points out that cattle cause a large amount of physical dam age to the pasture during the winter and that it takes quite some time in the spring for the grasses to recover from this bad treatment and put out new growth. “Cattle should be removed from the pasture about the time of the first .frost,’ Lovvorn says. “If this is done, the grass can build up a winter reserve of fod that will en able it to bring earlier grazing in the spring and also more graz ing. The .same principle is involv e das the removal of cattle from the pasture during long, dry per iods during the summer. Perma nent pastures need rest periods for best production.” Keep Dairy Cows In Good Quarters Dairy cattle should be protect ed from sudden changes of tem perature during the winter and given quarters in which they can keep themselves clean, says A. C. Kimrey, Extension dairyman for the State College Extension Ser vice. He suggests that the cows be housed in a wide shed, open to the f cT Nature Ft y>~7< M M CLIMATE /N SOIL IN FORESTS IN POWER Fa IP A . jMERICA 13 indeed a favored land. Each get* graphic area, North, East, South and West pos sesses certain advantages—contributing to the welfare of all. But of all the regions of this great land, nature especially favors the South. Nowhere is there found the same unusual combination of raw materials and favorable conditions for industrial and agricultural production in close proximity to large consuming markets. With its rich, natu ral resources, strategic location, mild climate and a friendly progressive people, it is no wonder the South has made such rapid progress in recent years. To those who are thinking of post-war problems, here is the land of opportunity in the years ahead. The Seaboard Railway, a key railroad of the South, is proud of its contribution to the eco nomic development of the area. Through its Industrial and Agricultural Development De partments, as well as through other agencies of the railway, the Seaboard will continue to plan and work for a more prosperous Southland.

A good supply of such bedding as grain straw or shredd ed corn stover should oe used at all times to keep the floor dry. I Many good dairy me.i believe iirat cows produce better wnen ia.-u-md separately in a lounging barn or shed, especially where they are not dehorned. Kimrey suggests that if cows are fastened, that they be allowed plenty of room for com fort. “Deep, dry bedding is essen ital for comfort,’ he says, “and it it is also a distinct aid in pre venting udder troubles.’’ Calves should have a ba\i to themselves. It should lie so '.(in structed that each baby calf w 11 have a separate stall. When the calves grow older, they may be placed together and thus save space in the barn. “This kind of calf barn arrangement, ena des the calves to grow out much better and develop into better producers when they come into milk,” Kim rey says. As to general arrangements, he suggests that all dairy oarns be planned and constructed so as to provide a maximum of cleanliness com ort, and quietness tor tne cows. “These things will pay good dividends in the m lk pail, all utn er things being equal,” Kimrey explains. Save Plenty Of Lespedeza Seed Growers should save plenty of lespedeza seed this fall because the popularity of this hay crop i increasing in all sections of North Carolina and relatively large acre ages will he planted in the spring, says Dr. Emerson Collins, in char ge of Extension agronomy at Sta te College. Lespedeza is not only proving an excellent hay crop but it is also being widely used as a temporary cattle. This year feed crops have been short on many farms and les pedeza has provided a backlog of grazing that lias enable 1 many growers to pull through in good shape. Collins notes that the grazing of hogs on lespedeza, as shown by the demonstrations conducted by Ellis Vestal, Extension swine spec ialist, has enabled growers to pro duce some of the cheapest gains of any method of feeding. Only small amount of corn was used and a good mineral supplement was kep before the hogs at all times.' The same was true for demon strations with hogs on soybeans. Both of these crops are now being It‘s Your Patriotic Duty To Kill Rats A easy and quick way to kill rats is to call or see in person the Paramount Exterminators, locat ed in Weldon, N. C.

With the shortage of labor, live stock men tire turning mote and more to grazing crops as one of their chief sources of feed and les pedeza will continue to be one of the best crops for this purpose, ac cording to Collins.

County AAA election meetings will be held in North Carolina be tween November 20 and 25. A group of 25 rural Ministers studied Extension Service active' ties in Jackson County in coop eration with the farm and home agents. A tour was made to check on improved .farm practices. i Maize is proving an excellent feed crop in some areas of East ern Carolina. Yields of 50 bushels per acre have been reported. More tobacco growers than ev er before are treating their tobac co beds with chemicals to save la bor in weeding the beds next spring. Wilson County reports 494,000 square yards treated. Red cedar for Christmas trees is a profitable crop for idle land, reports R. W. (Jraeber, in charge of Extension forestry at State College. The farm p pulation in the li nked States is about 4,800,000 less than 4 years ago. About half these people left the farm in 1942. pound of BLACK COAL? it HE lamp lias a 100-watt bulb in it aiul the lump of coal weighs one pound. Pulverized and blown into the big boiler of a modern power-plant, a pound of coal* provides enough steam to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity. That much electricity, in turn, will light the lamp for ten hours —long enough to read this newspaper and a couple of novels. Or it will run a small radio for 25 hours, a food mixer for 13 hours, a washer for almost 7. “So what?” you say. The point is . this. 25 years ago, it took about three times as much coal to produce a kilowatt-hour of electricity as it does today! The efficiency uhich gets several times as much white light from black coal has benefited YOU in many n ays. It lias made your electric service better ami cheaper year by year. It has met tremendous wartime de mands for electric power, without delay, shortages or rationing. It has bold the price of electricity at an all time low, while other costs went up. These results come from the sound business management of the nation's light and power companies— and from the hard work of men and women who knoiv their business. The same companies are preparing for even greater accomplishments tomorrow. - •Some plants use less than 1 pound, some more, because of differences in coal and equipment. The nation-n ide average is 1.3 pounds per kilowatt-hour.
