Tightening Up
On Non-Fathers
???
Local Selective Service boards
are tightening up on non-fathers, 1
lessening the number of agricul
tural and occupational defer-'
ments for them and at the same;
time increasing the numbar of
these deferrments for pre-Pearl!
Harbor fathers, it was revealed j
f>y a compaison ot local board ]
reports for October 1 and. December
1 by Selective Service National
Headquarters. Total deferrments
in agriculture. Decern-j
ber 1, were 1,606,681, of which
692.252 were fathers. This was i
an increase of 33,674 agricultural-1
ly deferred fathers between October
1 and December 1. Selective j
Service figures it will be required
to furnish between 1,900,000 and
2,100,000 men to the armed for-j

Now Is Time To
Plant Seed Bed
Now that the season for pre
paring tobacco seed boas is nere
it is timely to publish some of
the advice given by E. Y. Floyd
and L. T. Weeks, tobacco extension
specialists. They say: "The
seed bed should be placed in the
warmest location, where the soil
is very loamy and does not have
a tendency to bake and get hard.
A poor location is a site that
would be extremely wet. It is
best to select new soil which
has been covered with leaf mold
to prevent grass and disease. The
seed bed should be thoroughly
broken 4 to 6 inches, then pulverized
until the soil is very fine.
Two pounds of 4-8-3 fertilizer,
the potash derived from sulphate
Df potash magnesia, should be
applied to each square yard of
bed and mixed thoroughly with
the soil about 3 to 4 inches in
depth. Then the soil should be
smoothed off to make sure there

!are no clods before the seed are
j sown. It is usually best to mix
the seed thoroughly with about
two gallons of fertilizer or cottonseed
meal. This makes possible
a more even distribution of
seed. After the seeds are sown, ,
the soil should be packed lightly.
The method most commonly
used is to tack a board to a
wooden maul so as to tamp the
soil evenly over the entire bed.
Timely Hints For ;
The New Year
Secretary Of Brunswick
County A. C. A. Makes
Suggestions For Farmers j
Who Are Embarking
Anew With The New
Year
With this, the beginning of
the new year, J. J. Hawes, of
Supply, Secretary of the Brunswick
County A. C. A., comes forward
with several timely suggestions
to farmers. The suggestions
are especially applicable to new j
farmers and farmers making!
changes for 1944. Mr. Hawes
says:
"If you have purchased a farm,
bring in the deed and get the
farm changed to hear your .iame.
"If you have purchased part
of a farm, bring in the deed and
have the seller to come in with
you and help make the division,
of the cropland.
"If you have more than one
farm and expect to combine
them, come in and attend to it.
"If you have not signed your
1943 Application for Farm Payment
for your farm, or the farm
you were a tenant on, come to
the. office and. sign it. The sooner
we can transmit it for pay-,
inent, the sooner you will receive I
your check?which will be mailed!
to you."
Needlework Fun
With A Future
Modern Woman Keeps Her
Hands Busy Making
Something For Herself
Or Her Home
With tires and gas almost ex- J
tinct. the family will spend more
of its time at home on these winter
evenings. They won't find
time on their hands, because
their hands won't be idle for long.
Smart women are taking a tip
from Grandmother, who was vert'
seldom without a crochet hook
or knitting needles.
Mothers and daughters alike
are enjoying the ritual of curling
up in front of the fireplace, with i
some form of needlework to keep
their fingers occupied.
Wc ate going old-fashioned
again, but with a modern twist.
The articles we make are going j
to be sturdy, with plenty of j
smartness too. Hand-made ac-1
cessories are excellent filler-ins
for last year's costume, and for j
the coming spring. Crocheted i
gloves, hats and purses play a I
big part in this year's fashion [

with crocheting. If you haven't
learned how to knit, you will
want to now, more than ever. A
hand-made pull-over or cardigan
will be a life-saver in chilly, drafty
places this winter.
Another form of needlework,
which is fascinating as well as
useful, is being revived. Quilting,
long mortalized in folk-lore and
at state fairs, has never been
really far from the public eye.
Quilts and bedspreads are prized
and handed down from gneration
to generation. Tnose women who
favor originality like to work out
their own designs:?most quilters,
however, prefer to follow
standardized patterns, achieving
original effects from their combinations
of materials.
Look in the clothing departments
of almost any store, and
you will see that applique is
sweeping the country. Teen-age
girls are finding appliques just
the thing to put over worn spots
on a favorite dress, or to pep up]
a tired skirt. Applique is an eco-]
nomical form of decoration, because
it can be made from odds
and ends of material salvaged
from the rag bag.
These of you who are not lucky
enough to have a grandmother
to pass on to you the finer points
of needlework, will find a varied
assortment of instruction books
in the stores. Now is the time to
learn how o put your hands to
worts uiui 10 litKt' advantage 01
these lcng winter evenings.
Colorfully designed eotton handkerchiefs
are being featured as
accents for dark dresses and
sutis, especially in lapel spots.
Latin American nations will
produce 1,400.000 tons of steel
ingots and casting annually upon
the completion of plants now under
construction.
