NC TO ENCOURAGE SHEEP PRODUCTION Revolving Fund Will Be Used For Purchase, Resale Of Sheep RALEIGH, June 7.—UPS—A state wide program designed to repopu late North Carolina with sheep and recapture profitable markets in the eastern United States will be laun ched this month by the State De partment of Agriculture. With the approval of Commis sioner of Agriculture W. Kerr Scott and Governor J. M. Broughton, a revolving fund of S7.50Q will be used for purchase and resale of sheep. Purchases will be made for farmers at cost, plus minimum handling charges. Paul L. Fletcher and T. Lenior Gwyn. marketing speciaLsts of the department, will direct the buy ing-selling program which will be similar to the feeder cattle mar outstanding success during the past outstanding sucess during the past year.” Fletcher said. North Carolina's sheen popula tion has droped from 560.000 ,'n 1870 to approximately 51.000 this year. As far back as the constitu tional convention of 1875. the de partment was directed “ . . to en act laws for the adequate protection and encouragement of sheep hus bandry.” Both Fletcher and Gwyn veiw North Carolina’s sheen production and marketing possibilities with optimism. They assert that a profit able market in the east is “going beeging” for lack of adequate lamb and sheep supplies while the state's climate and agricultural resourses are sufficient “to put this once important industry on its feet again.” "The specific object'.ve of the sheep production—marketing pro gram is to make available fac li ties of the department’^ markets division in procuring and distribu ting stacker and feeder sheep for North Carolina farmers vnsrrng fa purchase such animals.” Fletcher explained 'The department not only will assist farmers in obtaining j sheen, but will also aid them in the marketing of such animals as will bring a profitable price on eastern and northern markets. Li”WoeJ Farmer Skoivs GoeJ fta'.rv Management COLLEGE STATION. RALEIGH. june 7.—One of the most remark able examoles of good dairy man agement for securing high produc tion is furnished by C. E. Graham. 23-vear-o’d farmer of the Linwood cnmmuritv in Davidson county, re ports John A. Arey, Extension da!rvman of N. C. State college. This young farmer, who attend ed State college for two years, is operating a 400-acre farm and is mi'kinf? 23 cows. During April and May. he averaged 80 to 85 gallons of milk daily. There are four Holsteins and 19 Guernseys in the herd. Graham is producing Grade A m Ik at the rate of $310 worth each two weeks. During 1he past six months, he has bought no fee i. except cottonseed meal. The re mainder he produces on his own farm. Annually he purchases about five tons of cottonseed meal, which cost him $200 this year. He feeds silage from September to June and produces it from 12 acres of corn. His good produc tion he attributes largely to the temporary grazing he has had this spring.

June 7.—Plans for storing wheat j on North Carolina farms and in commercial elevators to obtain government loans have been for mulated and facilities will be ready for operation by harvest time, it was announced today by W. Her bert White, Caswell county farmer and a member of the State AAA committee. Any farmer who seeded within his acreage allotment during the past year is eligible for a Federal loan. The rate for the state has been set at SI.37 per bushel for No. 2 wheat, with lower prices prevail ing for corresponding lower grades. The rate for No. 3 wheat will be SI.35. and No. 4 SI.32. For light smutty the loan rate is three cents less and and for smutty the loan value is six cents lower for all grades. Loans mature on demand, but in all cases by April 30. 1943. Farmers wishing to apply for Federal loans may store wheat in government-approved elevators or on their own farms upon approval of the storage bins by the county AAA committee. Farmers storing wheat on farms will receive a storage fee of seven cents per bushel. White said there are three pri mary rules for storing wheat on farms. He listed these as: Pro tecting the wheat from weather by placing it in a building with a good roof, floor, and sidewalls; keeping it at least 18 inches off the ground; and storing it in such a manner that the county AAA committee or loan inspector can determine how much wheat is placed under loan. _v_ Dates For Shipment Of Lambs, Wool Set COLLEGE STATION, RALEIGH, June 7.—L. I. Case. Extension ani mal husbandman of N. C. State college, announced today dates of future cooperative shipments of lambs and wool from Eastern North Carolina points. He has notified county agents of the following schedule: Mon day, June 15, lamb shipments from Tarboro and Plymouth; and Tuesday, June 16, a lamb ship ment either from Shawboro or Elizabeth City, the place yet to be decided. The animals will be received from 8 to 10 a. m. Wool pools will be made up at the following points: Elizabelh City, Tuesday, June 16. from 1 to 5 p. m.; Plymouth, Wednesday. June 17, from 9 to 12 noon; and Tarboro, .Thursday, June 18. from 9 to 12 noon. -V First Aid Course Taken By Firemen WHITEVILLE, June 7—Nineteen regular and volunteer firemen of Whiteville completed a 20-h our course in first aid last Friday night.

The latest is a crudely molded 50 cent piece which tcwn officials found in change collected in Brooklyn, the city’s negro set tlement, for taxes. FARM PROSPECTS ARE GOOD IN NC Income Gains Have Been Off Recently Except In Tobacco Area GUY A. CARDWELL General Agricultural Agent Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. The Regional Market Outlook Report for the Fifth Federal Re serve Bank District (Richmond, Va.), published in Business Week, May 16, 1942. issue, carries the following statement about agricul ture in this district: “Because of the agricultural con centration on cash crops rather than livestock in this district, farm incom egains in recent off peak-marketing months have been below average excepting tobacco growing North Carolina. However, farm income gains in recent off contingent on the weather — are bright, especially in the Carolinas. but in and around Maryland and Virginia arms hreas labor is espe cially scarce and agriculture may be pinched.” This report should be a Stop! Look! Listen! sign to farmers of the Coastal Plain region in Vir ginia and the Carolinas. While the nation is at war and war needs must take precedence over all other needs, and while farmers are being encouraged and urged to plant cotton, peanuts and soybeans to furnish badly needed oil supplies, they should cling ten aciously to livestock farming gains made during recent years. Only in this way will we attain to a bal ance in farming and to economic independence that should ultimate ly make this the outstandingly suc cessful farming area of the nation. If you have not done so. read Eugene Butler’s article “What's New in Agriculture,” in The Pro gressive Farmer. May issue. This article closes with the following words of wisdom and sound ad vice from Dr. Clarence Poe: “If the South doesn't take ad vantage of this war situation and get on a better balanced farming basis, then our farm people are going to be out of luck for a gen eration to come.” For the encouragement of farm ers who are still off balance in spite of all that has been said and done to have the crop farming system supported with livestock, I am quoting from a recent Clem son Agricultural College news let ter to permit the visualization of substantial returns received from recent South Carolina hog sales: “During April, the Orangeburg association sold 2.548 hogs for 481 farmers for S67.259.67. “The Darlington County Live stock association reports 7 cars. 470 hogs, sold in April for a total of S12.S38.90. “The Dorchester Marketing asso ciation made 5 cooperative hog shipments during April. 1380 hogs, which sold for $33,520.38. “During April, two shipments wood available to other people in 127.4.50 pounds of hogs, which net ted a total of $15,794.57, to 151 shippers. “The Williamsburg Livestock as sociation shipped 571 hogs in April which sold for $12,316.83.” These are very interesting and very substantial money returns and certainly prove the value of hogs under present market condi tions. _v_ ADDITION OF B-2 TO FLOUR DELAYED Riboflavin Supply Insuffi cient To Meet Current Requirements COLLEGE STATION. RALEIGH. June 7.—The addition of Vitamin B-2 to flours has been postponed until April 20 of next year by Fed eral order. Dr. Walter J. Peter son. in charge of research in ani mal nutrition for the Experiment Station at N C. Slate college, an nounced today. Originally, it was stated that the effective date for the addition of B-2. or riboflavin, as scientists know it. would be July 1 of this year. However, it was found that the supply would not be sufficient to meet current requirements. Dr. Peterson hastened to explain that much of the flour and bread already on the market is “enrich ed,” containing both Vitamin B-l and niacin. The addition of B-2 when supplies become sufficient will go further toward insuring required amounts of these essen tials in the daily diet. The Federal Security Adminis tration has stipulated that 1.2 milli grams of B-2 per pound be an ingredient of enriched flour, en riched self-rising flour, enriched bromated flour, and enriched farina. “Indications are,” Dr. Peterson said, “that the American diet may be low in riboflavin, since all com mon foodstuffs are quite low in this vitamin. “Physicians experimenting with the role of riboflavin In the diet,” he continued, “have found that a diet, containing B-2 is not difficult to prepare. “For example, a diet of unen riched bread made with no milk, and potatoes, cream, butter, cof fee, and vegetable shortening is practically free of riboflavin. On the other hand, a diet containing milk, beans, peas, and cheese fur nishes a good supply of this vita |min.” THIS CURIOUS WORLD Ferguson NAZIS, PLEASE NOTE/ ] N COPR. 1942 BY NEA SERVICE. INC.

FARMERS URGED TO BURN WOOD - i Forester Says Save Trans portation On Other Types Of Fuel Farmers with woodlands can “cash in” on the war-time short age of transportation facilities for normal transport of coal, coke and fuel oil. says R. W. Graeber. Ex tension forester of N. C. State col lege. If they will use wood in heating their own homes and in curing tobacco, and make dry wood availabel to other people in small towns and nearby cities, the farmers will be making a distinct contribution to the winning of the war. The Federal government has asked farmers to help relieve the transportation crisis in this man ner. Graeber pointed out. There is no shortage of coal, oil and their derivatives, the forester said, but there is an advantage in substitut- . ing wood where the comparative haul can be materially reduced and where transportation facilities for other fuels are not available. ‘‘Use of wood for fuel has great possibilities in North Carolina.” the Extension specialist declared, j ‘‘It can be used for heating homes, j curing tobacco, healing schools, and even in a large number of smaller industries where equip-! merit can be readily changed from j coal to wood. “Weight for weight, all woods have about the same fuel value." Graeber continued. “A ton of dry wood is equal ih heat units to about a half ton of soft coal.” The forester emphasized that the maximum heating results are secured from well-seasoned or thoroughly air-dried woods. Fuel wood requires from six months to a year to season properly’. Graeber offers an interesting and valuable “tip” to farmers who want to dry their wood in the shortest, possible lime. He ex plains that the leaves of trees act as pumps and are continuously’ drawing water through the body of the tree. • Therefore, if you fell the trees and cut them off from the water supply in the ground, and allow the leaves to remain on the branches for two weeks in the summer for all kinds of trees, and three weeks in the winter for pines, the leaves will continue to pump the moisture from the body of the tree. This will result in a dryness equal to three months of usual seasoning. TT TOO MANY RIBS Mr. Charles Headland, a baker of Auckland, New Zealand, had been suffering from chronic head aches, so he went to a doctor. An X-ray examination revealed that he had 13 pairs of ribs instead of the normal 12. The extra pair have now been removed and Mr. Head of the ribs it was believed, was pressing on a nerve center near the shoulder blade and causing the headaches. Four Miners Killed By Blast In Shaft POTEAU, Okla., June 7.— UP) — Four coal miners were killed and another injured critically today in an explosion in a Heatheringlon Mining company shaft at Buck Creek, ten miles north of here. The explosion, believed to have been caused by an accumulation of gas in the shaft, was .the worst in the Poteau field since 1926, when 11 men were killed in a blast. Dead were Jack Walker, 30, Buck Creek: Ray Watson, 23, Shady Point: Bert Kline, 28. Pan ama. and Clarence Russell, 50. Panama. Millie Martin. 28, Buck Creek, was badly crushed in a rock slide which followed the ex plosion. Scientists Discuss “Cause And Creator” God The Only Cause And Cre ator” was the subject of the lesson sermon in' all Christian Science churches and societies on Sunday. Jrm§ 7. The Golden Text was from Acts 4:24. ‘Lord, thou art God. which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sen, and all that in them is.” Among the citations which com prised the lesson-sermon were the following from the Bible: ‘‘0 Lord, how manifold are they works• in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thv riches. Thou sendest forth thv spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: The Lord shall reioice in his works” tPs. 104: 24. 30. 3H The lesson-sermon also included the following Dassages from the Christian Science Textbobok, ‘‘Science and Health with Key to the ScriDtures” by Mary Baker Eddy. ‘‘The creative principle — L'fe. Truth, and Love — is God. The universe reflects God. There is but one creator and one creation. This creation consists of the un folding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite mind and forever re flected. These ideas range from the infinitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God” (Page 502). ■XT They Drink Less Pan, Send Cash Tn Chinese RIDGECREST, June 7.— (P) — Because 500 Western North Caro lina boys and girls got along with fewer soda pops and less candy $1,211 in Chinese money was on its way to the Orient today to feed Chinese children. Miss Juliette Mather. Baptist Young People’s leader from Bir mingham, said that the girls of the Girls auxiliary and the boys of the Royal Ambassadors gave $106.20 in nickels and dimes dur ing their retreats on the Baptist assembly grounds. The Chinese-American rate of exchange boosted the amount to $1,211.60 in Chinese money— enough to buy a week’s food for more than a thousand Chinese children. FEW N.C. WOMEN IN WAR INDUSTRY Take Some Jobs Vacated By Men* Called Up For Military Service RALEIGH, June 7—Only a few womn are now taking courses in North Carolina leading to jobs in the war industries, but numbers, of women are being placed in jobs vacated by men called into the military forces that do not require extensive training, it is revealed by Mrs. Gertrude K. Clinton, act ing director of the United States Employment Service for North Carolina. The role of the service in con nection with the training courses, for men, as well as for women, is to determine if there is need for the services, to select by inter views and tests those considered suited for taking the courses, and later to refer them to employers needing workers of the types the trainees can fill, Mrs. Clinton ex plains. Employers of the state have not as yet been required to tap the largest reservoir of labor now available — the women — because up to now the numbers of men have been sufficient in most classi fications. However, as the war ef fort increases and more workers are needed, women will have to enter the skilled or semi-skdled occupations in larger numbers/the employment service director be lieves. t Training courses for occupations in war industries have not been set up in North Carolina for wom en workers as such, even though a few are taking the courses of fered. Mrs. Clinton explains -that in probably half of the occupations in which women will be suitable, the time required for training is not more than two months, and that as the supply of men de creases and the need for women workers becomes more apparent, courses particularly for them will undoubtedly be provided. Price Regulations Apply To Services RALEIGH, June 7.— (A5) —Serv ices sold at retail—such as laun dry, auto repair, shoe repair, and I similar services — come under maximum price regulations on! July 1, State OPA Director T. S [ Johnson said today. Prices for these servics must not be higher than the highest price charged for the same serv ices in March of this year, John son added. Services connected with repair, installation, mainten ance. preservation, storage and , triotion are included. \ Watching my wife, I'm learning mure about how advertising works. We moved into a new home last week, and that.meant that we need ed new curtains. The day before my wife went down to buy them, one store hap pened to have a good curtain ad. She went to that store first, the merchandise lived up to its adver tising, and she made her purchases. That advertising got a sizeable piece of curtain business from us because it happened to be in the right place at the right time, so far as we were concerned. The next curtain ad that runs in the same paper won't be interesting to us, and those that ran a few weeks ago didn’t get any business from our house. But the ads fhat ran a few weeks ago and the ads that will run next week will meet the attention of thousands of peo ple. Of those thousands, hundreds are sure to be prospects for what the advertiser is selling. If a house-to-house salesman makes enough calls, he makes some sales. Advertising makes so many calls in so many homes that it can scarcely help addressing some peo ple who are immediate and eager prospects for practically anything. For any merchant to say. “Today. I’ll advertise curtains because this is the day when most people will want curtains’’ would be silly. But it would be equally silly for him to saj. There s no point in advertising curtains today, because this is the day when not one family of the thousands of families who'read the newspaper will be in the market for curtains.” Every (lay, the newspaper delivers a market to advertisers. If they want it, it’s there, waiting to be sold.
