Defense Stamp Sales Advance In September WASHINGTON. — Sales of defense savings stamps set a record of $4,978,000 in September when they were placed on sale generally, for the first time in re tail stores. The treasury said the sales were $500,000 more than in August. This represented, in stamps, an increase of 2,942,000 over August, since the bulk of the sales are in 10 and 25-cent denomi nations. As in previous months 25-cent stamps led in sales with 11,840,000 stamps. Dime j stamps were next with 3,951.000, 50-cent [ stamps numbered 1,264,000, dollar stamps | were 659,000, and five-dollar stamps sold l numbered 66,000. Altogether, since the stamps were first placed on sale on May 1, sales through tlie end of September totaled 61,855,000 costing $18,998,000. The September increase in stamps sales, attributed to the new retail drive, contrasted with a slight decline in Sep tember sales of defense savings bonds, which are sold almost exclusively thru banks and postoffices.

W. H. PLESS, JR., Owner and Manager Rear of Duckworth Motor Co. N. Caldwell St. BREVARD, N. C. a DEFENSE BOND QUIZ Q. Just what is inflation and how can it be minimized? A. Inflation Ls a decrease in the buy ing power of the dollar caused by a rising cost of living. This, in turn, is brought about by a heavy public demand, resulting from a rapid in crease in the national income, for things which cannot be produced in large enough quantities. Every citi zen can help minimize Inflation by buying Defense Bonds and Stamps. Q. How can I get cash for my Defense Savings Stamps if I should need to redeem them? A. Go to any post office. NOTE.—To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan associa tion; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. O. Also Stamps now are on sale at retail stores. ' FARM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS -_♦ What are recommended rates of fertilizer application for small grains? A. W. H. Rankin, Experiment Station agronomist, points out that ferti lizers are just as much a part of small grain production as for cot ton and tobacco, although applica tions are not as heavy. Complete fertilizers such as a 4-10-6 on the average soil following row crops and 2-10-6 or 2-12-6 for soils where a good legume sod has been returned are recommended. Fertilization will depend somewhat upon local condi tions, but 200 to 400 pounds of the above mixtures give desired results. Q. What economics can the poultry man make in the face of rising feed prices? A. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State College Poultry Department, says there is a solution to this problem in careful culling. The lazy hens will consume about 71/2 pounds of feed each month and give little in return. These birds are "boarders” and a walking deficit to the indus try. Eliminating them from a flock is one of the most profitable things a poultryman can do. Q. Is it true that certain winter cover crop seed are no longer available through the AAA grant-of-aid plan? A. E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive assist ant, says no more Austrian winter pea, hairy vetch, or Italian rye grass seed will be available under the 1941 AAA program as grant-of-aid materials. In explaining, he points out that weather conditions in pro ducing areas were such that when these seed were harvested, the crop was considerably below what has I been expected. The Government is ] now making plans to avoid a simi lar shortage in 1942.

[B.H.S.] HERE AND THERE By Frances Walker Everybody's wondering what is the matter with the home ec girls’ eyes. I think I have solved the problem. It’s Miss Duckett’s diamond that she's flashing around on the third finger of her left hand. ; Too bad that nice new romance had | such a short life. I’m speaking of the rush Ted M. gave Connie P., but matters , have been so bad that no one has been able to get the particulars, j The newest of new romances seems to be Ruby E. and Doug W. Notes seem to be as far as they have gotten, yet— but just give ’em time. Several years ago the existence of a “man hater" was not at all unusual. But today they are as hard to find as gentle men. But I've discovered one—Corrie L. Garren. Can you imagine???? Verena L. seems to deflinitely need a little help in telling Jack F. something. When she tries to tell him it just won’t come out. Maybe by the time you read thte she has succeeded. At least we hope so. It seems the reaeon for “Nita” G.’s disliking Bill E. so much is because of something he said. Shame on you, Bill. Some of the “qwazlest” people around here. Have you heard any that were better than “Rolo” and "Witchie”? Those are Ruby E.’s and Betty A.’s. Gorsh! ! I feel sorry for “Dick” Franklin. He has a time since he’s manager of the “Hole in the Wall”. During the last few weeks the store has been a loafing place for scads and scads of students. If you’re looking for some one and can’t find him (or her) they're bound to be at the “Marg” G. really has got a problem on her hands. The reason is that Lonnie J. seems to take to the younger girls that —well, anyway, “Marg” would have to cut her dresses off a few inches. Blind dates aren’t so bad after all, are they, Eleanor? Especially when they are in a Clemson uniform. How about it, Poodle? I wonder if David D. has received any more fourteen word letters from that Georgia "cracker”. Yes, I did say “cracker.” Things do get around, don't they, especially mail—. Jean H. either doesn’t have the pa tience or what it takes. About the time she gets a boy where she wants him she decided it isn’t worth it. Could I be referring to a certain senior? Could be! for that man in uniform — SEND A CARTON OF CAMELS SPECIAL WRAPPER Your dealer has a special wrapping and mailing service to save you trouble...
