These are the orec^ent-shattering words of Mr. Norris, who added that he| never thought the time would ar-j rive when he would ask the public j not to ride on the Southern’s trains. “But that time has come, an inescapable by-product of our natioii’s fight for Victory”. “The South is serving the Na tion as the location of many im portant war industries going at top si>eed aud more than half of all thp-larger training camps and militijy establishments in the country”, Mr. Norris continued. “This means simply that our pas senger facilities this summer will undoubtedly be strained to the limit.

In addition, he said, there were thousands of hours of radio time any many thousands of outdoor posters and public conveyance cards helping spread the message. The treasury chief described it as _the ‘greatest advertising oper- atio^i in the history of the world.” He said that 1,758 daily and Sunday newspapers carried 40,774 adds with ;i total lineage of 30,- 585,481 valued at about $3,362,890, while 7,735 weekly newspapers carried 33,164 adds with a lineage of 42,048,,321, valued at about $!,• 201,380. All of these adds were locally sponsored. The campaign included 118,000 radio announcements and 8,000 ra dio programs of 16 minutes or longer. Using a minimum of one minute for each announcement, this amounts to 4 000 hours of ra dio time, or about 160 solid days of broadcasting. In addition to the regular ad vertising, Morgenthau said, the newspapers carried more than 5,- 000,000 lines (If publicity furn ished in mat and plate form by the Treasury department, exclu sive of oimpaign stories written locally.

In studies recently conducted, ^e> of- ganuatum learned that 78 per cent of all drivers are between 21 and 87 years ta age and '62 per cent of the maintehahbe crews Ml between the agM of 18 and- 87. Already the bus industry has been called upon to m^ a difil- cult manpower situatiem. Last year nearly half of the employed bus drivers went into the armed serv ices, war industries or other forms of work, although their transpor tation vocation is considered es sential. In addition to havittg^to replace them, the bus operators were ri'quired to increase the to tal number by 27 per cent to take care of wartime transportation demands. As a result, the major operators hired 8,558 drivers in 1942 as com' paced with less than 3,000 the previous year. The problem is not only one'of employment, but also of training because the new drivers are required to take lengthy course of instruction the interests of public safety.

A, Patton, State AA.A Executive Assistant. The certificates are bel)ig awsarded in recognition of the part farm families are playing in the nation’s war effort. More thn 200,000 certificates already have been sent to County USD.A War Boards for distribution to individual families, and more will be distributed as soon as they are received. Patton estimated ap proximately 237,000 North Caro lina farm families are eligible to receive the certificates. Printed in red, white, and blue, the 11 by 14 inch certificates carry out a Patriotic theme through use of a red border and " large blue “V” on the face of each. They are signed by Secre tary of Agriculture Claude R. Wlckard and the chairman of the Local County USDA War Board. Each certificate bears the seal of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture and the official Food for Freedom emblem, both printed in red. white, and blue. “These certlfica'es are being presented to farm families in ap preciation of the work they are doing to add to the growing strength of the United Nations,” Patten seid. "This nation and our allies today are looking to Ameri ca's farm famiUes"'for the majori ty of the food which is needed to win the war.” Basis for awarding the certifi: cates will be 1943 Farm Plans for Maximum War Production signed by individual farmers in a state wide sign-up campaign conducted by county and community com mitteemen of the Agricultural Ad justment Agency. safe .side in producing summer broilers, ssys Prof. Roy 3. Dear- styne. head of the Poultry Depart ment at N. C. State College. Since the feed situation is so serious, he suggests that groweis make sure of an adequate supply of feed from the feed dealer before con- tr: cting for the chicks. He further suggests that grow ers anticipate the necessity of more floor space per started chick than is usually required in the spring. About two square feet of floor space should be given for each three chicks at the beginning of the feeding and this space should be increased one square topt per chick, when they ere four weeks c age. Dearstyne pointed out that slow'er growth and higher mortali ty must be anticipated for sum mer broilers as compared with spring broilers. Gap way of (on.- serving feed Is through reduced mortality and this may be accom plished by less crowding, strict srnitation, and careful manage ment. Another method of copserving feed, cited by Prof. Dearstyne, is the cullin'! of males not in use in the laying flock. He says that af ter the breeding season is over, males serve no useful purpose in the flock and their presence is re sponsible tor heavy egg loss in iip- properly stored eggs during the hot weather. He estimates that there are e.bout 700,000 breeder males in North Carolina poultry flocks con suming about 1.75 pounds of feed a week. If growers will cull out the.se males, when not in use, they w'ill be saving about 560 tons of precious feed every week. V f Terracing Land Imp.roves Value County terracing outfits are in creasing farm values in the areas they serve and growers are en thusiastic over their work, says David S. Weaver, head of the De partment of Agricultural Engi neering at N. C. State College. He points to the record of Ca tawba county, for example, as re ported by Assistant County Agent Jesse F. Giles. Since 1936 grow ers there have spent 820,425.40 for ' the construction of terraces. On 1915 farms a total of 9,141 acres have been terraced and 328,650 linear feet of farm road have also been constructed. Weaver says that the average cost of terracing an acre with the Catawba county equipment is $2.23 per acre, with a cost of 52 cents per one hundred feet. Most of this work has> been done on small farms where growers have only light equipment and are un able to do the terracing as they wish it carried out. A complete circle of the county is made every two years and at the present time the demand for the terracing equipment is so hea vy that it cannot possibly do all the work needed. As an example of what farmers think of the service rendered by the terracing equipment, Zeb Wil- ■son of route L Newtrni, says that his farm is easily worth one-third more because of the terracing of 15 acres during the fall of last year, E. C. Cansler, also of New* ton has additional terracing done on his fawn every time the ma chinery comes to bis' community. Several hundred U. S. school teachers are paid less than 1800 a year. dustries. Their total number was replaced by an additional twenty per cent. The increase was neces sary to provide service for the larger number of buses now oper ating to meet transportation needs of the war period. l^llUBi UMli #''SoMn Phy, BaAwa HMmmm ‘ Lym Rigbi Onginal S*oy, 8i*m> MAmv DiiactMl by ROY WILLIAM NEILL AoociMa PnxUfcsr, HOWARD BENEDICT A UNIVERSAL PICTURE 2F FARM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS N Question: Where can I get good publication on terracing?
