? FOOD few t THE AGRICULTURAL ^~V" 6XT ENSIOH SERVICE t Fanners ttlust Hare- Permits To Deliver Meat Farmers who kill animals for home use do not need a slaughter permit, but they are required to secure one if they deliver any part of the meat to others, says I. O. Schaub, director of exten sion at N. C. State College. The Government issued three permit orders which become ef fective after midnight March 31. They require: (1) All livestock slaughterers who sell meat, in cluding farmers and local butch ers, to operate under a slaughter permit system, and as an aid to enforcement, to stamp their per mit number at least once on each wholesale cut; (2) All livestock dealers to ob tain permits to buy and sell live stock and to' keep complete re cords of their operations (Farm ers are not required to obtain dealer permits, but they are ask ed to keep records of their pur chases and sales); (3) All slaughterers, operating under Federal inspection, to set aside designated percentages of their production for war uses. The stamping of all meat is spe cifically designed to halt the black market operator. It also acts to curb the sale of meat from diseased animals. According' to Schaub, growers, who obtain permits for the delivery of meati directly to consumers, may com-1 ply with the permit requirements I by attaching tags, showing the permit number, to the meat they deliver. The dealer in livestock gets no stamp of any kind, but he must keep full records on all sales. The authorities have requested all livestock producers, packers.1 dealers, health officials, and con [ sumers to aid in eliminating the I illegal slaughtering, selling and ! distribution of meats. Prevent Wood Fires And Save Valuable Pulpwood North Carolina growers lost about $1,350,000.00 every year from destructive fires in wood lands. Not only can they save money by preventing these fires but they can also protect the val uable pulpwood which, is so greatly needed by our armed ser vices, is the suggestion of R. W. Graeber, extension forester at N. C. State College. Pine trees for parachutes. Pine trees for smokeless powder. Pine trees for blueprlng paper. Pine trees for treating sick and wound ed soldiers. Their pulpwood and resin find a thousand uses, ac cording to Graeber. Resin im pregnated kraft pulp is now be ing moulded under pressure into airplane parts. A cord of pulp wood will make enough smoke less powder to fire two rounds in a 16-inch naval gun. The Nation needs thirteen mil lion cords of D. S. pulpwood in 1943, says Graeber, and so great is the demand that kraft paper for a number of articles has been discontinued. Recently newsprint was cut 10 per cent, book papers 20 per cent and wrapping paper 15 per cent. Many other types of paper were restricted. An interesting bulletin on pre venting forest fires has just been issued and copies of It may be ob tained from the county agent or from Mr. Graeber at N. C. State College, Raleigh. In addition to discussing fire hazards, it out lines the best methods of pre venting fires and gives pointers on fire fighting in woodlands. FARM QUESTION BOX by ED W. MITCHELL Farm Advisor Cuiul .ftcrffaa WGT Q. What Is the culture for broccoli? A. Get the plants where you buy cabbage and cauliflower plants, set them out. and give clean cultivation. Culture is the same as for cabbage. fl? u Q. How tan one overcome the weed problem in soy beans? A. Some growers do it by growing the beans in a row, like corn, and cultivating to kill weeds. The Cayuga variety sown broadcast is a more practical way to grow them, and harrowing the field several times at weekly in tervals is about the most eco nomical way to check the weeds. T? rH Q. What fast-growing tree will make a year-round wind break, that will survive in marshy soil? A. Make a mixed planting of willow and tamarack for summer, with cedar and perhaps some Norway spruce for winter. 11 ? IT Q. What can I use in the soil to kill white maggots that eat the roots of vegetables? A. Use super phosphate, say 1 or 2 pounds per 50 square feet, and some arsenate of lead, 5 pounds to 1000 square feet, and you will get rid of most of them. If? U Q. What Is the best way to make a hay hoist? A. Take either an old mowing machine or the transmission from an old car and belt the mo tor to the pitmau rod drive shaft or the front end of the transmis sion. Fix the drum for the hoisting rope onto the wheel or axle shaft, or, in the case of the transmission, onto the final drive shaft. (I have a free circular on feed mixers that shows a good way to make a speed reduction drive for any machine.) For a Idrum you can use a block of wood or a section of old 40-gal lon hot water boiler. 11?11 Q. What are the thousands of tiny bugs jumping around on the snow? A. Wait patiently for them to disappear of their own accord. They are spring tails or snow fleas that come for a few days every year to bless Tire ? maple sugar harvest and test the sap. 11?11 ! Q. Would it be possible to make maple syrup in n copper container without harming the syrup? I A. Yes. Copper pans and ket tles are ail right. Guard against lead solder which permits some lead to get into the boiling sap. ] If ? 'I Q. Have you a bulletin on the pruning and care of peach trees. A. The bulletin should reach you soon. .Cut back and thin out one-third of a peach tree se verely each year so the whole top Is practically renewed every three years. This keeps the tree low and compact and full of vig orous new wood.

County who have enlisted in the 1943 food production program; will be awarded a Certificate of Farm War Service in recognition of the part they are playing ini winning the war, according to! Ire .T Inscoe, chairman of thei County USDA War Board. The certificates are 11 by 14 inches and are to be signed by, Secretary of Agriculture Claude . R. Wickard and Chairmen of County War Boards. They will [ be presented to local farmers by the County War Board as soon as possible after completion of the sign-up campaign now being con ducted by county and community committeemen of the AAA. This drive, aimed at getting each far mer to produce his share of the 1943 food production goals, be gan with Farm Mobilization Day on January 12. and will be com pleted this month. A report to consumer groups on progress of the sign-up was made by County USDA War Boards and AAA Committeemen at a series of meetings over the State on March 8, tenth anniversary of the na tional farm program. "This certificate is a simple word of appreciation and encour agement to the lighting units on the food front ? the nation's farm families," Secretary Wickard said in announcing the awards. "On the long, hard work of these families, on their ingenuity in overcoming every handicap im posed by total war will depend to a considerable measure the outcome of this war." The 1943 farm plan which farm operators now are signing, or have signed, will be the basis for awarding certificates. American science and industry has come to the aid of house wives, canning fresh fruits and vegetables. Tin cans are prin cipally steel, and the amount of tin per one hundred pounds of tin cans has been reduced from 2 pounds to only 1-2 pound. h&vmniiMiYl OF THE Pks TO HAVE - YOUR - PRINTING 1 NEEDS ?

ANSWER: Yes. We suggest1 that all sows be given liberal,! well-balanced grain rations andl proper supplements before the pigs are born. If any pigs show loss of appetite, rough hair, or lowered vigor, they should be separated from the rest of the litter and hand fed. Corn sirup, fed in proper proportions, has been beneficial but it should be fed under proper guilance to pre-l vent 8Qj>urs?_^. QUESTION: Is it worthwhile growing herbs just for seasoning? ANSWER: Home demonstra tion specialists answer, '"yes". Herbs give zest and flavor to many foods that might otherwise be dull, and they help bring changes when the same foods are I used frequently. Parsley in the herb border is a good source of' vitamins A and C. Chives forj onion flavor, thyme and sage for stuffings, basil for tomato soups; and sauces, and mint for sum mer drinks are recommended. Your neighbors might plant dill for pickles, omelets and salads;; marjoram for soups and salads; and rosemary for lamb and veal. Then, you might exchange herbs; with your neighbor. QUESTION : Are there any : {oud cliemirul weed killer*. ANSWER: Sodium chlorate, sulphuric acid, carbon dlsulphlde, ttnd common salt are (our of the best. The first two kill . the plants above the ground and the other two kill plants below tha ground. Full instructions should be obtained (or any o( these treat ments. With sodium chlorate, (or instance, a solution should be made up, one pound to the gallon, and sprayed upon the plants.. This chemical is very active and it must at all times be kept away (rom fire and nev er should be stored near sulphur. With sulphuric acid, a 1 to 2 per cent solution is sprayed on the plants. Care should be tak en in mixing the acid and the water. This spray is to be ap plied only in dry weather. , War workers can work all night and sleep all day and still find their place in the sun. s&as JUST RECEIVED ONE CAR 10-0-1 0 This will probably be the only car we will have this season.
