Attention! Sheep Growers
Local manufacturers of wool
products are now working on War
Contracts and therefore are not
buying wool as usual.
The Extension Service, through
the office of L. I. Case, in charge
of Animal Husbandry Extension,
is making plans to collect and
ship wool from Raleigh, July IX,
from 8:00 a. in. to 3:00 p. m.
Payment will be advanced on
wool at shipping point in the
amount of 48c per pound for
clear medium, 40e per pound for
light and medium burry, and 30c
per pound for heavy burry. Far
mers desirous of marketing wool
in this cooperative shipment
should contact W? C. Boyce, Coun
ty Agent, at once, giving the num
ber of fleeces to be offered. Ar
rangements will be' made to con
centrate wool locally in order to
reduce transportation cost to
Raleigh.

4-H Club Assembly
Approximately 300 4-H club
members from Franklin, Gran
ville and Warren counties have
been enjoying a two-day assem
bly at Louisburg College this
week. A full program of recrea
tion and educational class work
was arranged to fill every minute
of the time. In years past it
has been customary to take the
boys and girls out of the county
for an entire week of camping.
Due to labor shortage this year it
was deemed advisable to cut the
period short in order not to take
the boys and girls away from the
farm work too long.
Lindberg Bunn, President of
Franklin County 4-H County
Council, welcomed the club mem
bers and their workers from the
adjoining counties to the first
Association on Wednesday night.
On Thursday afternoon the en
tire group was taken to the mu
nicipal swimming pool at Wake
Forest for an afternoon of swim
ming. The Assembly was termed
a great success and all those who
attended enjoyed a very delight
ful time.
Miss Liilie Bae Braxton and
Walter Fuller were in charge of
the Franklin County group as
sisted by the Extension workers
and 4>H club leaders from the ad
joining counties.
4-H Club members and workers
from the three counties are very
much indebted to Dr. Walter Pat
ten and Louisburg College for
making available to us the college
facilities for the holding of this
assembly.

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS
TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
Ql'ESTION: III combining ny
wheat, I left i* heavy stubbie.
How would you liandle this field
so an to get good quality lespe
deza hay?
ANSWER: "I would rake up
the straw on the field and either
save it for bedding or sell it bal
ed." The straw will seriously
interfere with ^he quality of your
lespedeza hay, unless you remove
It. After about two weeks, mow
the high stubble and weeds, and
remove this material. In wait
ing to mow the stubble, you are
killing two birds with one stone,
because the weeds should be clip
ped any way. Burning straw left
by the combine is not only waster
ful but It also destroys some of
the lespedeza."

QUESTION: What about grow
ing nomp turnips as a source of
feed for livestock?
ANSWER: O. H. Wright of
Montgomery County fed 2 cows,
2 horses, and 6 hogs with turnips
from October IS to April from
one acre. His grain require
ments were cut in half and the
cows and horses did not eat as
much hay as normally. According
to the report, Wright sold con
siderable turnips and saved the
half gallon of seed he needs for
sowing early this fall and also
some seed for sale to neighbors.

USED CAR CEILINGS
Raleigh, June 1?. ? Any one
planning to buy or sell a car may
get specific information as to
price and procedure from his lo
cal War Price and Ration Board,
Theodore S. Johnson, district di
I rector at Raleigh, announced.
All sellers, private indlvld
i uals, as well as dealers, will be
I affected by the program, Johnson
- said.
Johnson pointed out that pas
i senger cars are an integral part
of our national transportation
i system, especially in rural areas
where a regular trip to town in
, the family car is often the only
way to get supplies for farm
production and family living.
The prices on used cars, on
which there have been ho ceil
ings, lately have risen to a point
where many farmers who needed
this transportation could not
afford it, he added.
OPA also is providing used car
dealers with copies of the regula
tion concerning price lists.
