County Farmers Urged Order Fertilizer Now Farmers of Chowan County are urg ed to order now and accept delivery on at least a part of their 1953 fer tilizer needs before the planting sea son begins, says County Agent Over man. This will reduce the possibility of temporary shortages because of clogging of distribution lines at the peak season of fertilizer use. Fertilizer has not been moving rap idly enough in some areas to assure smooth distribution later on, accord ing to information received from of ficials in the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This can lead to a last minute rush which will spell trouble for farmers who delay their fertilizer purchases. Achievement of the high production goals set for 1953 will dex pend in part upon use of larger quan tities of fertilizer. 'Spreading of pur chases over a period longer than the normal peak season in March and April will reduce distribution and de livery problems. Demand for all three primary plant nutrients—nitrogen, and potash is expected to be up this year. The Department of Agriculture and the Land-Grant Colleges are cooperat ing in •a program to promote more efficient use of fertilizer materials, and in many areas this will call for increased use of one or more of the plant nutrients. The purpose of this program is to increase yields per acre, improve the productivity of the soil, and raise the net returns to farmers. The total supply of fertilizer is ex pected to be up about 12 per cent over last year, but the Department of Agri culture predicts that certain desired types of fertilizer such as higher analysis phosphate materials, and am monium nitrate may fall short of all demands. Farmers taking early delivery of fertilizer should make certairt that the materials received are in good condition so that they will Withstand storage in a reasonably dry and pro tected place.

Carefully plan space for packaged, canned and bottled foods, measuring cups, spoons, c etc., in the wall unit. Base cabi- * nets provide storage for bulk quan tities of sugar and flour, mixing uten- c sils such as bowls, flour sifter, roll- 1 ing pin, cutlery, baking pans and . casseroles. Divided space is needed. Our management specialists say de- f termine whether an item should b# t stored in a wall cabinet or base cabi net. Organize articles in the cabi- * nets so that those stored in back, though frequently used, can be reach ed easily when needed. 'Use acces sories such as step-up shelves, cup racks, drawer dividers and bulk stor age bins to assure neat and easy-to find storage. Sink cabinet should provide space for holding cleaning supplies, brush es, towels. Cooking- Center: Deep drawers in the range will hold skillets, lids and saucepans. Storage next to the range is the spot for cooking and serving utensils—ladles, wooden spoons, spa tulas, etc. This area, too, is a good spot for toaster, waffle iron and trays. Adequate storage space in the kitch en saves many extra steps from one spot to the other. Well organized equipment makes for efficient work. Plan your storage the way that will help you most.

The word independence is united to . the ideas of dignity and virtue; the word dependence, to the ideas of in feriority and corruption. —Jeremy Bentham. Not Practical “Arithmetic is a science of truth,” said the professor earnestly. “Fig ures can’t lie. For instance, if one man can build a house in 12 days, 12 men can build it in olfe.” “Yes,” interrupted a quick-brained student. “Then 288 will build it in one hour, 17,280 in one minute, and 1,936,800 in one second. And I don’t believe they could lay one brick in that time.” While the professor was still gasp ing, the smart “ready reckoner” went on: “Again, if one ship can cross the Atlantic in six days, six ships can cross it in one day. I don’t believe that either. So where’s the truth in arithmetic ?” TRY A HEkALD CLASSIFIED AL PAGE SEVEN MASONS MEET TONIGHT ■ Unanimity Lodge, No. 7, A. F., & A.
