ROGER /M. KYES^*" CALLING OUT TIIK RESERVES V\V' are at war ? seriously at war ? anil it promises to be a long, hard-fought war that will put a serious tax on the great resources of this country. Our genera tion is just be ginning to find it out, but the nations that op pose us have for a good many years known that a peace t i ra e economy and a wartime economy are e Kyes iwo wiueiy ainereni things. The aggressor nations began many years ago to aim at a new goal ? total war ? and to prepare for it gradually. They have built up tremendous war production ma chines, while we have gone on with our comfortable and somewhat complacent, easy-going manner Our practice for war has been con fined largely to local political and labor squabbles that in the long run are not very important. The Axis powers have practiced playing, "for keeps." We've got to adopt a "for keeps" attitude, and do it almost over night, to make up for the time we have spent trying to be a good neighbor in a world of thugs and pirates. In our new world of serious all out war, agriculture has been given a part to play of basic and funda mental importance. We have to produce more food and more fibers than ever before, with fewer men and fewer machines to work with. Strong young farmers not only make the best soldiers and sailors, but they make the best hands for munition factories. So our Govern ment is calling for them by the hundred thousand, in spite of the fact that we need them on the farms as never before. How are we going to get our farm work done, with our boys in service and the metal we hoped to get for plows being used for guns and tanks and ships and planes? - Recently there was printed in many papers a picture of six or eight tractors working at one time, on a smallish farm. The service of these tractors and the men who drove them represented a neighbor ly form of co-operative help for a farmer who was unable to do his own work. His friends got together and volunteered to do it for him. on the farms of this country. We have always had barn raisings and husking bees. But we are now like ly to see a great many more ex tmplea of such co-operative efTorts. Why wouldn't it be a worth-while thought for the farm owners of every community to meet together and plan for such situations? We all know the work has to be done We all know that a shortage of farm labor is already here. And we all know that new tractors and new farm implements are going to be limited in number *nd mighty hard to get. ?? un very lew urmi mr irat tor work six days * week. And there are a Rood many hundreds of thousand! of implements that arc UF.cd only a few days a year These tools represent a part of t!je productive capacity of our ag ricultural plant. Let's make them work more hour* ? make them pro duce more. if you have a machine that your neighbor can use, loan it to him or trJide him the use of that machine for the use of one of his? perhaps the very Machine y<ui expected -to buy this year, to complete your o-.vn mechanical equipment. It's a chance to put into effect a broader "good neighbor" policy at home ? an opportunity to accom plish more ty working together. We read that our country can no longer be isolated by oceans - we f\re now too closely a part of the v. hole world. In the same way, each farm must give up some of its iso lation ? ita Independence. It be comes, more than ever before, a part of Agriculture. o ? HOME DEMONSTRATION" ? ? DEPARTMENT ? * Utile Mae Rrnxfuii, Home ? * Demonstration Agent ' March 2!<rd - 2H( h Monday. ? Tuesday ?

BEER TAXES INCREASE Raleigh, March 16. ? The pro-: posed increase in federal beer' taxes will yield vhe national de fense program an additional! $850,000 to $1,000,000 annually' on North Carolina retail beer sales. Figures compiled by the Brew ers and North Carolina Beer Dis tributors Committee. . disclosed that the U. S. government collec ted $2,671,037 on the state's 1941 beer consumption. On the basis of the 1941 con sumption. the proposed increase would add $855,000 to this total. 5&w onaL Mr. L. O. Tharrington visited P.aleigh the past week. t t : 'Mr. and Mrs. J,. A.

Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Smithwick. t t t Mrs. J. R_. Gardner and little] are spending the week with Mrs. Gardner's mother, Mrs. W.l W. Webb. but it is likely that the extra 'ax will yield nearer $1.000.?'t00 as consumption is increasing in North Carolina. Under the present' schedule, the federal government collects J6 and the state an average of $ 3 . T 5 1 a barrel. The proposed new fed eral taxes for war purposes would hike the federal rate to $8 a bar-' rel. North Carolina's consumption of 426. 475 barrels of beer last' year netted the federal, state and local governments $ 4 -.9 3 4 . 5 !? . 5 5 in taxes. A U. S. Department of Agricul ture survey recently completed shows sharply higher wages for farm labor and larger numbers of workers now employed on farms. o Home-made electric brooders tested by Purdue University Jn cooperation wit* the U.

'? ...r -J 1 % /ICTORY ON THE FARM FRONT ? MCW3 from th? Aqriaj/tvref futmion Strrict STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION": What soils are satisfactory for pea lull pro duction? ANSWER: Well-drained, fine sandy, or very fine sandy loams have proven most satisfactory. The heavier soils, stich as silts and clays, or soils high in organ- "j ic matter are not usually satis factory. This is due to the me chanical difficulty of digging and to the fact that- the heavier soils produce large tops usually asso ciate^ wtth poorly filled nuts. 11?11 QUESTION : What Is the most economical way of sec uring more milk from cows. ANSWER: Through liberal feeding, especially roughage. This includes pasture, h a y," and silage. Quality roughage is the cheapest source of feed for dairy cows and^ should be made the basis of the dairy ration. One to two aQres of good pasture sho.uld be provided for every mature cow. Legume hay, be ing higher in protein than grass hay, is the best milk producing hay. ' *?11 QUESTION: Can ruber arti rlwijp -dry --flmiird ANSWER: Neither rubber nor rubberized articles should* ever be dry cleaned. However, dry cleaning fluids may be used to remove grease or oil, if applied' carefully and then allowed to evaporate thoroughly and quick ly. Most rubber articles can be kept clean with warm water and mild soap. o Conservation appeals have re sulted in more tjian a half mil- 1 lion burlap bfts being ret-urned - to wool growers by mills' for reuse, reports the Office of Emer gency Management.
