Expansion Of The
Program
By GUY A. CARD WELL
The Department of Agriculture
on May 26th announced a program
of vegetable dehydration
facilities to meet increased needs
for Lend-Lease, military purposes,
and civilian consumption and to
help alleviate the increasingly
serious situation with respect to
containers and transportation of
foods.
Under the program, existing
vegetable dehydrators will be invited
to expand their present facilities
and canners and processors
with experience in food processing
will be assisted wherever
necessary in converting part or
all of their plants for dehydration
onerations. Processors parti

MISTAKE BIG BEAR
FOR A BLACK COW
Mrs. \V. T. Malpass, and her
1 sons, Bill and Dick, along with
Mrs. Earl Bobbins, all of
Whiteville, were returning to
the city yesterday afternoon
from Holden's Beach, where
I they had been s|iending several
days, when they were surI
prised to see what resembled
J a big black cow standing
| squarely in the middle of the
| road.
"Slow down, don't hit that
i cow" cautioned .Mrs. Malpass,
I to her son Dirk, who was driving.
Closer observation revealed
the animal was not a cow but
a big black bear.
"Speed up son" advised Mrs.
1 .Malpass.
I cipating in the program will be
j approved by the Department of
I Agriculture. Plans have been
I made to furnish technical assistance
to firms newly entering the
: dehydration field to help them
; gain experience. The program will
be worked out in cooperation with
the War Department and the

As a practical means of Increasing
dehydration facilities the
Agricultural Marketing Administration
will contract with processors
meeting the requirements of
the program to purchase that part
J of their dehydrated vegetable
| production that is needed to meet
I domestic, Lend-Lease and military
! requirements, on both a current
! and future delivery basis. Fur|
chases will be made on the basis
of specifications prepared by the
! Department of Agriculture.
The Department also will assist
j in seeking priorities for materials
' needed to expand or convert existing
facilities for firms selected
to participate in the program.
Conversion of existing food processing
facilities to production of
dehydrated commodities will, be
accomplished with a minimum use
of critical materials.
Through the program, increased
production of dehydrated white
and sweet potatoes, onions, cab|
bage, carrots, beets, and rutabagas
will be sought,
j Substantial savings in shipping!
! weight and space are expected to
j result from the dehydration proj
gram. Generally speaking, reduc!
tion of weight through dehydra- j
I tion results in about 10 pounds
of fresh vegetables equaling one
pound of the dehydrated product.
1 Volume reduction is about 4 to

Plants now engaged in vegetable
dehydration or other processors
of perishable foods interested
in the expansion program, are
[ urged to contact the Fruit and
i Vegetable Branch of the Agricul|

j Washington, D. C. They will be
sent, on request, application forms
to participate in the program.

Sheepskins are also better able
to stand up under the heavy wear
the flyers give them, the skin part !
of the pelt being treated in such
a way as to make it flame-proof,
wind-proof, and acid-proof.
In view of these facts, Case
said, it is no secret that the Army
is in the market for sheepskins
or "shearlings," pelts with ,
wool from three-eights of an inch
to an inch in length. i
North Carolina sheep growers,
now giving more time and atten- (
tion to their important animals,
are afforded a real opportunity
to make American flyers
more comfortable by the production
of larger numbers of these
sheepskins, Case declared.
As a matter of fact, the shearlings
have become so important in
the job of winning the war that
the War Production Board has
ordered all sheepskins sold to the
Government for use by the armed
XUiVCO.
To encourage the production of
pelts, the Office of Price Administration
has placed a high ceiling
price on the raw skins. Present ;
prices range up to ten times what
they were in more normal times.

OVER REJECTIONS

ly disqualify the selectee for all
military service, and the second
part of which sets forth those
non - remediable physical conditions
which manifestly disqualify
for general military service, but |
qualify for limited service. The
local examining physician has no
alternative but to follow this list
specifically. With these limitations, I
the examining physician can re- ]
ject little more than the obviously
unfit.
Another reason for the large j
number of rejections is that local i
boards no longer have the authority
to disqualify registrants who
are below the minimum literacy j
standards for military service. ;
Prior to January 1, 1942, theyl
had such authority and did not!
send to the induction station reg-1
istrants who were below such j
standards. Regulations now provide
that all such men, otherwise ,
qualified for military service, must
be sent to the induction station
for final check and rejection by
the Army.
It can readily be appreciated by
those who understand the regulations
in force that a higher percentage
of the men forwarded for
induction may be expected to be
rejected for the reasons above
given and local boards and examining
physicians should not be
criticized for a condition over
criticized for a condition over which
they have no control. They have no
choice but to send the men to the
induction station even if they have
reason to believe that a large
number will be rejected on account
of their physicial condition
or lack of educational qualifications.

the line of bait.
Usually they merely take the
bait with the tip of their beaks
and as this beak is about as tough
as armor, it is rather difficult to
hook them. If you do hook one,
and your line is not equiped
with a wire leader, it is goodbye
to your hook. The gar merely
snipps off the line and continues
the robbing of other hooks that
may be offered. With a wire leader,
it is possible to catch one.

n a plug in Orton Pond two
ears ago. Famous for his knowidge
of fish and fishing, Ackerlan
declared it was the first time
e had ever heard of a garfish
eing taken on an artificial bait.
The saltwater sharks are creditd
with having very tough hides,
'he hide of the gar is twice as
DUgh and is reinforced by scales
hat make it a very tough and <
nife-dulling job to cut it open.
At various times I have en- '
ountered negroes who rated the ;
ars along with catfish for food. '
'0 anyone who knows the fondess
of the colored brother for
atfish, that is high rating, in 1
eed. '
There must be several thousand
arfish in the 1300-acre Orton i
ond or lake near Southport. In .
tie summer time they are a great <
uisance to sportsmen, and proably
destroy a large amount of ;
iod fish.
Any Remedy Offered
If any person has ever discover- j
d a preventive or remedy against
arfish, the Orton owners would 1
robably be glad to hear of it. j
0 would I. They are a destruc- '
Ive nuisance, without a. single re- 1
eemirig quality that I know of.
Vixen I do catch one I have no
ompunction about killing it on
lie spot.
My personal opinion of the only
elief from the garfish in Orton
nd other ponds is to drain most
f the water off and then make
n effort to eradicate them by
eining, shooting and spearing,
"his will not be effective for any

bound to be plenty of garfisl
parent stock left. In a dozei
years they will be just as num
erous as ever.
Outside of destroying most o
the gars and other predatory fish
there are a lot of other benefit
to come from the partial drain
ing of ponds every few years. Ii
some of them enormous quanitiei
of fine food fish can be obtained
A relatively small amount of par
ent stock left will quickly re
plenish the game fish supply
For instance, authorities havi
said that one female perch wil
restock a three-acre area. A
couple of bass will restock abou
eight acres, and so on.
In addition, the partial drain
ing of ponds and removing of ob
jectionable fish has a very pron
ounced good effect on the fisl
that remain. Left undrained foi
years, a fish pond collects mucl
matter detrimental to fish life anc
to the production of fish food. II
Is now generally recognized thai
the release of most of the water!
and the fishing of ponds everj
few years is necessary, if one i!
to have the maximum production
of fish for sport and food.
