prlcee (Dr the crop.
As an example of how some
farmers feel about growing aweet
potatoes this year, he pj^inta out
tha^ Dan Lee of Arapahoe la
planning to fill three curing
• houses on hla farm with about
SO,000 bushels. He will put in
around 25{t acres of vine cuttings,
following a crop of oats. The ro-
tetlon followed on his land is soy-
beans, oats, and sweet potatoes.
The horticultural specialist re-
^ ports that Lee ts marketing the
,^last of his 1942 crop In three
L grades. No. I's, and commercials.
*' Recently he was getting $6.75 per
bushel for his No. I’s, and $8.00
per bushel for the No.. 2’s and
commercials.
Lee keeps 18 Uuros brood sows
so that he will have enough pigs
coming along to take care of his
cull sweet potatoes. On the 600
acres, which he operates with four
tractors, three mules and a saddle
horse, he has 37 acres of tobacco
but he is more Inteiested in the
sweet potatoes then in the to
bacco. His returns over the past
twelve years show that the net re
turns from the yams are greater
than the returns from tobacco.
In addition to a targe acreage
of feed and soil improving crops,
Lee has 20 acres of Irish potatoes.
He Is a firm believer in diversifi
cation and, according to Lassiter,
he follows a definite plan of rota
tion and cropping based upon
carefully prepared records.

and many a honiemaker learns to
wash a blanket so It won’t turn
out shrank or boardy. The
warmth of a blanket depends very
largely upon the amount of nap,
so It's well worthwhile to takd
care in the washing to hold the
fluffy softness.
For a comforter, dry-cleaning Is
best. Washing is likely to leave
the filling lumpy and matted.
Use lukewarm soft water, and
mild coap. Hard water can be
softened with an ammonia or
borax solution. Use cautionsly or
you may add too much alkali for
the good of the wool. And, be
sure the water is lukewarm, for
you may shrink wool In one hot or
cold dip. Allow plenty of water,
more thaa for most fabrics. ,
Dissolve mild soap In the water.
Or use one of the soapless oil
washing materials such as are
sold for hair shampoos. Make
generous suds before the wool
goes In.
Never soak wool. Wash by
hand, if you can. Squeeze suds
through fabric. Rubbing shrinks
and hardens wool. If you use a
washing machine, don’t crowd
wool .articles and wash ' them
quiekly. Never boil them.
When wool is clean, rinse 2 .)r
3 times in clear lukewarm water.
Squeeze water .nut gently. Don’t
wring or twist.
A warm, hut not hot place, is
just right'for drying. Never let
wool things freeze.
Hang bkinkets over a line with
a half or a fourth on one side and
without clothe pins. A blanket
dries quickly if two lines, near to
gether. share the weight. Squeeze
water from the ends occasionally
and shake the blanket to fluff the
nap.

F'arra labor battalions captured
all their objectives at Newport,
Carteret county. Twenty farm
families of tbe:.Crab
munity, led by Generaf K. U.
Oglesby, pooled their machinery,
their work stock, their labor,
their tobacco plants and other
things iiece.s.sary to the success of
local farming enterprises and
routed the farm labor shortage
which attacked theii section with
out warning some weeks ago.
Gener.il Oglesby produces Irish
potatoes, cabbage, sweet pota
toes. cotton and hogs. When- the
enemy attacked, ho found himself
with two tractors, five head of
mules, and practically no tabor.
He called in Neighbor Bill Willi
ams and made him captain of one
tractor outfit. He himself led the
other tractor division.
Down the road they went from
form to farm bedding up tobac
co land and putting out the fer-
Jtilizer that wa.s brought up from
the rear by serge?nts. corporals
and plain buck privates in fa
tigue unitornis. In three days
time they were ready to set to
bacco on all 20 farms. The to
bacco plants were pooled and
down the road they went again
with the only transplanter in the
commmunity setting the crops of
Bob and Jeck and Joe. as they
came to them.
No money was involved in all of
this work. Neighbors simply
swapped labor and equipment so
as to get the jobs done with the
least man-pcwer possible. One
truck hauled all the fertilizer. Co-
openation whipped the labor short
age enemy.
J. Y. Lassiter, horticultural
specialist at N. C. State College,
says the Crab Point group is 30
delighted with what it has accom
plished that the neighborhood
will epply the same program to
its tomatoes, sweet potatoes and
other crops.

exist by what ;^u might call an ‘accident.’
“Some accident, too! I saw it happen.
• “It was 1935. We research workers at Esso were
trying many things with petroleum to see what else
we could learn about it. And up came a process
for synthetic toluol. »
“Well, you need toluol to make TINT. But coal-
tar was providing all the toluol the country needed
—then.
“However...all, the toluol you could get from
coa^tar would make far less than half the
TNT we're using now! The other half is
made by that Esso process perfected back
in 1935.
“Now...I didn’t know then that you’d
need bombs, and neither did you. And I can hear
a lot of people say ‘Boy was that discovery a lucky
thing!’...
“But I don’t call it luck. I call it the American
idea at work. We hit on that process becaus^free
American people expect so much that American
companies have to learn everything they can about
new and Letter methods just to stay out fr9»t in
business.
“If this war didn’t'prove anything else, it
would prove that nothing like America ever ex
isted anywhere before.
