Another victory was added to the
list of the Feminine Blue and Gray
team last Friday night. The fifth
straight victory of the season was
won over Mountain City, Tenn. The
Mountain City girls were good, but
the Boone High girls proved themselves
even better. The score was
27-9. Betty Jean Farthing being the
high-point girl for the home team.
The boys played a good game on
Friday night also: but their best was
not quite good enough to defeat the
Mountain City quintet. The 5-point
lead gained in the third quarter
was never threatened, and the Appalachian
Blue Devils went down 33
to 27.

rarmers hre signing
1943 AAA Farm Plan
Farmers in every county in the
state are now signing 1943 farm
plans, stating whether or not they
intend to cooperate in the 1943 farm
program of the AAA. according to
G. T. Scott, chairman of the State
AAA Committee.
Reports received at the State AAA
office show that through January 9.
a total of 161,139 farmers had been
interviewed, and of this number 159699
indicated that they will participate
in the program. Scott said.
There are still 79,282 farmers to be
interviewed.
"When a farmer signs a 1943 farm
plan he merely states whether he
plans to participate in the 1943 AAA
program.'' Scott said. Signing is
purely voluntary on the part of the
farmer and the plan is not a contract.
After a farmer signs a farm
plan, he is assisted in formulating
a farm program for 1943 designed to
earn maximum production practice
credits for carrying out these practices
most needed on his farm. This
sign-up should not be confused with
the signing of the 1943 farm plan
work sheets for maximum War Uroduction
in which the farmer's war
crop goals are set out."
Farmers taking part in the AAA
program are allowed to obtain con
servation materials, such as legume
and cover crop seed, lime, and phosphate,
for use on their land in lieu
of farm payments.
In an effort to conserve transportation
facilities, he said, most of the
1943 sign-up work is being carried
on when farmers are at meetings
or are in the county AAA offices
for other reasons.

Continual War With
Deep Into G<
Some interesting and revealing^
facts concerning Nazi Germany's
labor shortages were noticed recently
in a peratmental survey by
the League of Nations.
That Germany faces a serious labor
shortage there is no doubt. As
many of her man-displacing machines
wore out, and were not replaceable
due to blockade and other
causes, they had to be replaced
by manual labor. Blockade has also
brought about more and more use
of synthetic processes. This too. has
absorbed a large amount of labor.
During he first two years of the
Nazi war many of the soldiers in j
the fighting fronts were released for;
service in factories, transportation. I
and some necessary "service" indus- j

fight ended the furloughing of soldiers.
When the end of 1 941 arrived the
number of \\ orkers in Nazi indus-1
try amounted to 23.9 million. This:
was one million less than in 1929.:
These figures stood then despite the ;
greater use of women in industry, j
9.4 million being at work in 1941,
while there had been only 8.3 milllion
in 1939.
Furthermore there has been at
least 2,000,000 foreign workers "imported"
for service, besides using j
school children over 14 and overage
workers. About a million and
a half war prisoners are being used.
Their labor quality is doubtful. >
Nazi Germany's absorbing of the |
pre-existing male working populat- j
ion between 18 and 45 has risen to j
more than one-half since the Russian
campaign began. Today, while
the Russians counterattack, the num
ber withdrawn from German industry
grows daily. That Germany i
can stand such a terrible industrial j
weakening remains to be seen. The!
results should be noticed during tin-!
present year, when it is said, many '
peace feelers will be put out by the
German army officers.
To ease the drain on its labor
power, Nazi industrial officials have
countered in part by cutting civillian
goods production. Then private
travel was restricted. Next came
indirect taxation increases in November
1941. Clothing rationing followed.
Finally in April 1942, there |
was a sharp cut in even essential i
food rations, such as bread, meat
and fats.
Soon labor shortages forced more
Nazi revisions. Standardized products
increased, administrative machinery
was simplified, the Nazi economic
organization was more and
more decentralized, and then there!
was a wave of mergers in which administrative
staffs were cut down
with more rsponsibility being given

A year ago this winter when the
Russians began their first largescale
offensive thousands of killed
and permanently wounded German
soldiers had to be replaced. The
aid given by allied Nazis helped
some. But another drain on industrial
manpower took place. Whether
more women were placed in industry
to take the younger and older
men there for armed services is not
known.
But Russia's second winter offensive
has further drawn taut the continually
tightening string of manpower
in Nazi industry.

Fertilizer Prices To

Raleigh. N. C. January 18.?The j
prices of mixed fertilizer, superphos-,
phate and potash will be revised up-'
ward to meet increased production.
and transportation costs, D. S. Col-;
trane, assistant to the Commissioner i
of Agriculture, has announced.
The upward adjustments represent
an absolute minimum needed to se-j
cure sufficient production of coramerical
fertilizer to enable farmers j
to increase their yields for war re-1
quirements. explained the OPA in
notifying Mr. Coltrane of the change;
in prices.
Coltrane said the price increases,
allowed manufacturers on general
crop fertilizers vary from 20 cents
to $1.98 per ton.
"Fertilizer manufacturers have
been deprived of virtually all the
synthetic nitrogen solutions customarily
used by the industry, and I
many of their most inexpensive!
sources of materials have been cut
off by the war.'" said Coltrane.
He further explained that manufacturers
are being required to absorb
increased labor costs and much
of the other increases ir. operation..i

Coitrane asserted that a specialj
price provision is being set up to
encourage the use of all available j
organic nitrogen materials, includ- j
ing any oil seed meals which may
be available in excess of livestock
feeding requirements.
