FIRE PREVENTION Designation of the week of Oc tober 6 as National Fire Preven tion Week, helped to focus the attention of farmers on the ne cessity of preventing fires in farm woodlands and fields, according to County Agent W. C. Boyce and William E. Adams, Assistant Agronomist of the Soil Conserva tion Service in the Tar River Soil Conservation District in LouIb burg. Preventing fires in farm wood lands and fields is a sure way to reduce soil losses, the specialists say. Fire destroys material need ed to Increase the soil's water holding capacity and to make it less erodible. Plant residue on fields, when left unburned, -'checks erosion. When plowed under it will build up t'he organic-matter content and make the soil more absorp tive and over a period of years W'll increase yields. Besides destroying ground cov er and subjecting the land to ero sion, fire alsp destroys game and game food and cover; destroys tree seedlings and injures mature trees, and often destroys fences, haystacks, and even farm build ings. With the advent of cool weath er, many farmers will burn over "fields and woodlands. The special ists say that besides being a sure way to accelerate erosion, setting out fires during the fall montihs Is a costly farm practice in ac tual money. Soybean production this year Is Indicated to be 81,600,00d bushels, approximately 6,000,000 bushels below tihe 1939 produc tion, estimates the U. 8. Bureau of Agricultural Economics.

Subscribe to the Franklin Tinea * EUROPEAN WAR NEWS Loudon, Oct. 30. ? Plant's of 1 it he British Koyal Air Force roar led over Berlin in 11 blinding snow [storniylast night and sent high ex plosives and incendiaries crashing earthward in t-he pale light of parachute flares, the Air Minis try said today. A large electrical works was hit. the British pilots reported. They also started fires at' oil plants at Magdeburg. Homburg and Sterkrade, the ministry said. A thick mist froze on the planes over the North Sea and Western Germany on the long flight to the German capital and other industrial centers. The wea ther thickened as they moved eastward and snow began falling sticking to windshields and sift ing into the cockpits. The men were reduced to blind flying, hopeful that the weather would break before they reached Berlin. Instead, it got worse, so (?hat they were barely able to pick out their objectives. "Still, we managed to find our target," one pilot said, OthSr raiders swooped a,own on Bremen and Wllhelmshibyen Germany, and on Her Helder, Ymuiden and Flushing, Holland, and Ostend, Belgium, attacking shipyards and docks. (In Berlin, informed sources said 15 persons were killed by It. A. P. bombs in various Dutch localities. ) Other planes attacked railway j communications, searchlights bat- j terics. airdromes and anti-aircraft | gun positions. The ministry said two British planes were lost' in the operations. ? ? ? ?? * Salonika. Ureece, Oct. 31.- - j (Thursday British troops have, landed oil Greek islands from ! troop transports guarded by war- I ships of the British Mediterranean 1 fleet-, it was learned authoritative ly today. The number of British troops i involved and the amount of equip- j nielli they brought could not be ' stated, nor could the location of' t'he islands where they made their landings. Late last night it also was learn- 1 ed that Greek troops holding the Italian offensive on t-heir northern j frontier had taken 800 Italian I prisoners. Italy's war machine, operating in the mountains less than 100 miles northwest of this strategic city, was reported here to have been held 'by the stout defense of the crack Ureek Evzoue troops. Taking advantage of the luck of I Italian air activity. Greek mill- I tary authorities mobilized every ! vehicle with wheels and rushed soldiers and material to the front iu a manlier reminiscent of the Paris taxicab army of 1914. * The first Greek soldiers wouiid-J ed In the early action have begun to arrive at the base hospitals here, but the defenders' casualties ' thus fur are considered surpris ingly few. Sea and Skies Here in Salonika, the people alternately watched the sea, hop : ing for the approach of British warships, and the skies, in fear of th? arrival of Italian bombers. The public Is calm and orderly. The streets are filled with a great coming and going of mili tary vehicles and in the shops and cafes the public is expressing en thusiasm for Britain and a deter mination to defend Mils country. All sorts of motor cars ? not excepting taxicabs ? are in mili ary service, carrying men to the rdnt to defend the Mataxas Line ? a line against which the people here declare that the Italians are making little progress. I arrived here after crossing the Greek and Yugosluv borders by railway handcar and freight' car, all regular passenger traffic having been cut off. Rome, Oct. 30. ? Fascist quar ters hinted tonight that under cover negotiations are under way to end t'he three-day-old war with Greece and that Crown Prince Paul, 37-year-old brother of King George II, may be placed on the Greek throne because of hlB strong Italian sympathy. Italian press dispatches claim ed that Prince Paul and his Ger manborn princess w^re under ar rest) at their prface four miles outside Athens under orders of Premier John Metaxas, who is arranging to send Paul to the Is land of Crete and deliver him into the hands of the British. Premier Benito Mussolini's newspaper tonight' called upon the GreekB to make peace with Italy immediately and "escape the fate of Norway" because Bri tain is powerless to give any ef- \ fective aid to them. (The same warnings to Greece came from * Berlin Wednesday night and there were reports In Sofia that Adolf Hitler, working through Turkey and other neigh bors and using heavy concentra tions of Nazi troops as a threat, was urging Greece to end hostili ties with Italy). Tests conducted at Oregon State College show that fence posts with the butts charred do not last as well as untreated posts, but green posts t<reatsd with a salt combination last al most Indefinitely. With slightly more layers on farms than last year, egg prodac ti6n Ib -August was the largest for the month since 1931, reports [the V. S. Agricultural Marketing Service. J \i STWeCRlBB TODAY ! ? l Newspaper Inflation This article fut from the Pub- 1 Usher's Auxiliary certainly ex- 1 pressed t>he problems of the Week ly Newspaper. Read carefully this article. WRIGHT A PATTERSON Some, five or six years ago we reduced the vain, of the Ameri can dollar from 100 cents to 69 cents. Our dollars looked just as they did before the change. For a time at least (the 69-cent dollar seemed to buy as much as the old 100-cent dollar, except in world markets, and with those markets we were not personally concerned. Rut today the 69-cent dollar does not buy 100 cents' worth of merchandise. It buys 69 cents' worth only as compared to old merchandise values in practically all lilies except weekly newspa- 1 pers. When the publisher of the weekly newspaper buys, either for his newspaper or for himself and family, he receives a 69-ceut> value for each dollar he spends. When he sells his products ? subscrip tions, advertising printing ? he offers a 100-cent value for a 69 cent dollar. The newspaper which formerly sold at one dollar a year and is still selling at that price is in reality, now selling for 69 cents. To be sure, our dollar is sup posed to be worth 100 cents, but as compared with prices of com modities of five or six years ago, it will pay for only what 69 cents I would pay for at that time. During the past live or six years prices of other commodities have been adjusted to meet the condi tions imposed by our 69-cent dol lar. To do this qualities were not lowered, for tile public will not countenance a lowering of standards, but prices have been advanced or production methods | have been improved to reduce production costs. Generally speaking, these chan- I ges have not been made in the weekly newspaper field. In tin1 ! great majority of cases the week ly newspaper publisher has at-, tempted either to continue a 100 cent- value at a 69-cent price, or he has lowered the quality of his product to make up the differ ence. He cannot "get by" with either method. To attempt to con tinue the 100-cent value at a 69 cent price will, in the end, mean bankruptcy. To reduce the qual ity of his product will mean a loss in public support. There are but two possible me thods of meeting the conditions. One is to increase Hie price in proportion to the depreciation of t-he dollar, and the other is to maintain the quality, but reduce the production cost by different production methods. The weekly newspaper cannot continue as the one exception in an inflated price ago. The current Canadian wheat .crop, estimated at 561,000,000 bushels, probably exceeds domes tic requirements by 275,000,000 bushels, reports U. S. Department of Agriculture foreign experts. The planting of winter grazing crop is helping those mountain farmers who had their hay sup plies washed away in the recent hood, report farm agents of the State College Extension Service. Willie the prices of some "lux ury" foods have risen because of the war, the prices of butter, eggs, bread, milk, potatoes, and other staples are either the same as a year ago or slightly less. Wages paid by farmers 011 Oc tober 1 averaged about the same as on July 1, but were about three points higher tiban on the same date a year ago, reportB the U. S. Marketing Service. Exports of nearly all United States farm products, except cot ton, were greatly reduced during the first twelve months of the current European war, reports the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
