Orade "A" milk sells (or 10 cents a gallon more than ungrad
ed milk. If a farmer's production is 10 gallons a day. this gives
him an extra income of $1 a day, or $365 dollars a year. "Th?
need is for 2,800 North Carolina farmers to change over from un
graded to grade 'A' milk produc tion." says John A. Arey, Exten
sion dairy specialist at State Co liege. He suggests that before c
farmer makes the change over, he take the matter up with th<
processing plant to wh'ich he has been delivering his milk.

Fat Salvage
The OPA not only urges all wo
men to turn In left over kitchen
I fat for salvage, but It urges all
dealers to ask for It. and remind
i customers of their patriotic duty.
In the official January Point
Ration Chart, sent by OPA to all
| meat dealers and grocers through
out the land, the front page is
j devoted entirely to America's
I needs for used fats for munitions,
! medicines and manufacturing.
"Keep 'Em Flying." is the big
type headline. "Collect every
ounce of used fat to make explo
sives."
And here is the governments
message to every dealer.
'Ask EVERY customer to bring
in used fats.
"Give her ONE POINT FOR
EVERY HALF POUND ? in addi
tion to the two cents you pay for
each half pound.
"Your rendered fat will pay you
one point for every half pound.
"If your fats are not picked up
by a regular collector, the Rail
way Express Agency will handle
them. The rendered will pay the
transportation charges.
"Remittance of both cash and
points will be made to you direct
' by the rendered ? not by the Ex
? press Agency.
"There are no forms to fill
" out; no registration is required
1 for retailers.
? "Your function in this program
is to collect all the salvage fats
you can and give the housewife
one brown ration point for every
s half pound you collect."
j Don't wait, however, for your
[ dealer to ask for your used fats.
. Your used kitchen fats, useless to
. you, are needed and saving them
.:is a small but important serVice

Q. In there a so-called thor- I
oughbred cow? |l
A. . Thoroughbred is properly '
applied to horses bred in England
for running; standardbred to a 1
certain class of American trotting i
horses; purebred to cattle, sheep. '
swine and poultry showing a suf
ficiently long ped'igree of breed- 1
ing to a certain type or breed.
r ? t? u
Q. How can the age of a horse
be figured?
A. At three years, a horse sheds
the milk teeth and gets four per
manent Incisors, two above and
two below; at four years, there
should be eight central teeth; at
Ave, there are six above and six
below; at six years, the corner
incisors ai^ up level and the first
teeth should be flat or have a
very sNght- cup. After that, It
1b largely a matter of judging the
wear, and that depends somewhat
on the feed. The upper corner in
cisors show a noch from wear,
and the cups get shallow. It
takes some practice to judge age
accurately.
It? 11
Q. What does It cost to raise
a chirk to maturity?
A. Cost vary, of course, but a
fair average figure is around
$1.00 to raise a pullet five to six
months to laying age; about
$2.00 a year for feed, and $1.00
to $1.50 for labor and miscellan
eous Items; or around $3.00 a
year to keep a laying hen.
H ? 11
Q. What kind of seed should
one use for pasture this spring?
A. Sow along in March when
frost is coming out and the
ground is soft and full of cracks.
Use about 10 pounds per acre of
th'is mixture; 6 lbs. timothy; 4
lbs. orchard grass; 3 lbs. Canada
blue; 1 lb. white Dutch clover;
1 lb. Blrdsfoot trefoil. You will .
not get much of a result unless !
you feed the grass with 200 to;
300 pounds of phosphate.
1i?
Q. What size house will be
needed for 100 hens?
A. About 12 or 14 feet by 30
feet long. Start with day-old
chicks.
n? r
Q. Can the growth of calves'
horns be stopped?
A. Yes, with an alkali, known
is caustic soda. Get a caustic
pencil at the drug store. When
the calf is one week old, smear
grease on the hair around the
base of the horn buttons; wet
the button and rub it raw and red
with the caustic pencil. Blind
fold and tie the calf during the
operation.

Zebulon. ? Funeral services
were held Tuesday, Jan. 11, from
the Pearce Baptist Church, near
Zebulon, for Hilda Marie Ed
wards, three years old, who (Tied
at her home on Route 3, Zebulon,
Monday after a brief illness. The
Rev. Mark Osbourne officiated

tal grandparents. Mr. and Mrs.
W. M. Edwards, and maternal
grandmother, Mrs. Helen Chalk.
The pulpwood Industry Is very
much In the war. Jettison gas
tanks are made from treated
paper fiber, and bags durable
enough to carry 100-octane gaso
line have been developed for
Uncle Sam by the pulpwood mills.
? ? ?
Pulpwood products have been
developed to a high degree In or
der to meet war needs. Now paper
can be made stronger than metal,
and can be formed Into almost
any structure or design. There is
Saper that resists fire, and paper
lat is water-resistant.
? ? ?
The enemy has not been un
aware of pulpwood's versatility.
They call it Universal RohstoS, or
the material .that will do any
thing. However, Uncle Sam has
exploited pulpwood much more
extensively, and he can do much
more than ths enemy if you help <
him cut 14,000,000 cords this year. '
