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.

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.

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.

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.
