? . V J % /ICTORY ON THE FARM FRONT ? MCW5 from tit* Afria/tvral bcttasio* St met Htato College Hints To Kami Homemakers All these years you have been eating turnips and turnip greens, but did you know just how many vitamins they contained? Turnip greens supply vitamin A, several of the B-vitamins and vitamin C. When it comes to turnips, rut abagas ^lightly higher in food value than white turnips. They contain no vitamin A, but do give you a generous supply of vitamin B-l and vitamin C, riboflavin and niacin. Rutabagas also are slight ly richer in carbohydrates and minerals than the white turnips. There are many ways of saving soap which will help in the war effort. Keep soap dry after each use and use only as much as is needed to overcome the hardness of the water. Use a soap shaker for soap: scraps and pour boiling water' over them in a bowl. The result ing jelly kept near the sink can1 be used in washing dishes and clothes. For the bath, small bits of I soap in a thin bag are just as good as a large cake of soap. A thin cake can be pressed onto a larger cake when both are wet and the small cake will become a part of the larger one. Sypply of Nitrogen Is Short This Year Interruptions of imports of ni- ? trate of soda from Chile, greatly increased demands for nitrogen, in munitions and for industrial purposes, and the necessity for] accumulating larger and larger stocks of nitrates to meet war demands, are the three principal reasons for the present nitrogen shortage as applied to fertilizers,1 says Dr. Ralph W. Cumtttings. i head of the Department of Agron-i omy, N. C. State College. No one questions the absolute . necessity of these limitations; said Dr. Cummings, but coming late as they did. has caused a considerable amount of confus ? ion. Farmers are now required to make a written application for fertilizers with the amount per acre to be determined by past practices and the recommenda tions of the Experiment Station* for each given crop. Many far mers placed fertilizer orders some time 6go but these will have to f be revised based upon the lates' : ?-orders' and regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture. American industry is producing reasonably adequate supplies of both superphosphate and potash and most dislocations in the sup -ply oT' Te^ilizers is involved largely with jitrogen. In the last twelve months the production o| nitrogen in the United States has i been greatly i increased and Dr. Cummings says1 that nitrogen prices after the war. may be lower than formerly. I This will enable the farmer to: use nyjeh^lafger amounts peri acre, ?speaially on the low priced I crops whvfcli he may want to grow. More Gardens Needed Forf Food Supply Every grower of a Victory Garden should* have a copy of War Series Bulletin No. 14, re cently .issued by N. C. State Col . lege. It is short and practical, covering the planning of the gar den, listing tho.se vegetables best suited to this section, and giving other timely information such as the preparation of the soil, plant ing schedule, amount of seed to1 'be sown, pointers on disease con-1 trol. and iriferntation-on common ? garden insects. It suggests the following can ning budget for a family of five:. * string bean3 20 quarts, lima beans 5, beets 10, carrots 5, corn 5, greens 5, okra 5, garden peas 10, soup mixtures 30. tomatoes 60. dried vegetables 50 pounds and dried fruits 40 pounds. Advanced gardeners should re quest "The Farm and Home Gar den Manual," Extension Circular No. 122 and also "Canning Fruits and Vegetables," Extension Cir cular No. 223. All of these may be obtained free of charge as long as the supply la^ts on application to the Agricultural Editor at State College, Raleigh. "You need a Victory Garden because increasing amounts of commercially canned goods will have to be sent to the fighting fronts and to our allies, because the rationing of meats will re quire the use of more vegetables AIR CORPS KATE!

Niswonger. 9 ? ? -n Want Waves And Spars Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 8. ? Navy re cruiting offices after February 15 will assist in recruiting women for the Navy and Coast Guard auxiliaries. the WAVES and SPARS. Captain M. C. Robertson, USN. director of the Sixth Naval Dis trict Officer of Naval Officer Pro curement, said that the new pro cedure was designed principally to reach the smaller cities and towns in which there are no Of fices of Naval Officer Procure ment. In these smaller localities in terested women may obtain com plete information about the re quirements for the WAVES and SPARS and every effort will be made to expedite applications. Women. 20 to 35. years of age with at least two year's of high school are needed for training for enlisted ratings in the WAVES and SPARS. In training. a WAVE oi* SPAR is paid $50 a ? month plus a clothing allowance t amounting to $200. a Upon completion of training. 1 the salary increases, Captain Rob- P ertson pointed out. For exam- 0 pie, third class petty officers, the a lowest rated non-commissioned - officers, are paid $160.50 a month, provided the Government does not furnish food and lodg ing at place of assignment, which is usually the case. Wonien 20 to 50 years of age who Save had two years of col lege may become officer candi dates. A college degree is pre ferred, however. Candidates for either enlisted ratings or officer training should have no children un^r 18 years of age. worry, worry, WORRY ^HEADACHE!

Through the years bus travel has always been very heavy in some months, less heavy in others ? and this has held true even in wartime when the demands on transportation are naturally increased. Thafs why Greyhound has long urged everyone to travel during less crowded periods ? and February and March are just such times. Essential trips taken in mid-winter will greatly relieve overcrowding in the mid-summer months ahead. r You can aid wartime transportation still further by choosing the right day ? in mid-week ? and the right schedule ? . the least crowded one.
