SHORTAGE OF MILK
IS FACED IN STATE
A shortage of grade A milk for
use by Army camps and civilians
in North Carolina is predicted
for the near future by
John A. Arey, Extension dairyman
of N. C. State College. He
makes a patriotic plea to all
dairymen to feed liberally and
obtain the maximum production
from every cow.
During the past winter and
spring approximately 7,500 gallons
of milk were delivered daily
I to Army camps within the'State,
I Arey stated. This demand will
I be increased by 4,000 to 5,000 gal
Ions of milk daily when new
training centers for the fighting
forces of the Nation are
opened during the next few
, months.
"Local dairies have so far been
able to supply both camp and
, civilian demand for fluid milk,"
; reported the Extension worker,
, "but it will be difficult for them
to meet an increased demand. To
do so will require maximum production
from all available herds
9
i located within the area from
; which milk can be collected,
i "Good production requires lib
eral feeding," he continued, "and
> that means eV'ery dairyman must
) produce this summer all the hay
and silage his herd will need
next winter. Ample roughage
! production is doubly important
in view of indications that grain
i feed prices will be higher in the

Local Draft Board
Is Advised Of
Change In Policy
A change in the policy of the
Local Selective Service Board has
been effected to comply with the
recent act of Congress, and in
line with advice from State Selective
Service headquarters. The
State headquarters have announced
that all North Carolina
local boards have been advised of
the adoption by Congress of a
policy which provides that registrants
be separated into categories
and that all registrants in
each cateeorv be selected for in
duction before any registrant in
the succeeding category ia selected.
The four broad categories are
as follows:
Category one; single men with
no dependents.
Category two; Siiigle men with
dependents.
Category three; Married men
who have no children but maintain
a bona fide relationship in
their homes with their wives,
provided marriage took place
prior to December 8, 1941, and at
a time when selection was not
imminent.
Category four; Registrants
who with their wives and children
or with their children alone,
maintain a bona fide family relationship
in their homes, provided
marriage took place prior
to December 8, 1941, and at a
time when selection was not imminent.
Local boards in North Carolina
have all been advised that
they should fill their July and
subsequent calls in accordance
with this policy, if possible. But
the boards have also been ad*
vised that the national interest
requires that all calls to meet the
manpower requirements of the
armed foroas must be filled on
schedule. If any local board has
not a sufficient number of I-A
men available to fill its call, it
has been .authorized to depart
from the general rule of priority
and use married men who
ordinarily might be expected to
be in category 3, if such departure
is necessary to meet said
call.

will remain until called to report

WAR CREATES PLACE
FOR MORE LEGUMES
American guns need plenty of
ammunition to blast the Axis,
and ammunition must be made
largely from nitrogen products,
one of the most important ingredients
in commercial fertilizers.
That is the situation facing
? J ir 4Ua
farmers ior trie aurauun m uic
war, and commercial nitrates
may become even scarcer than
they were this year, says E. C.
Blair, Extension agronomist of
N. C. State College.
At this time, growers must
produce more pork, lard, beef,
mutton, butter, cheese, eggs,
poultry, vegetables, fruits, cotton,
and wool than ever before.
This means they must grow
more hay and grain, even though i
the supply of nitrogen is short.
Fortunately, Blair said, legume
crops may be called to
rescue the farmer from his predicament.
Used in the right way,
winter legumes can go far in
supplying the soil with much of
its needed nitrogen.
To prove this, the agronomist
pointed to a number of demonstrations
conducted last year to
show the value of such legumes,
or soil-building crops. In 16 of
the demonstrations, Austrian
winter peas boosted the yield of
on fn hnshpls ner
corn iiuxii uv r?
acre, or more than 50 per cent.
In another demonstration,
corn planted on March 29 without
the benefit of a winter legume

Schaub Urges Wise
Use Of Tires On
Farms Of State
A trip to town to the movies
today may mean the impossibility
of taking a load to market
this fall, cautions DrJ.O.Schaub,
director of N. C. State College,
Extension Service, in a special
appeal to farm people to save
their tires.
With the Japanese in control
of the lands from which the
United States once received more
than 90 percent of its rubber
supply, there will be no more
tires for civilian use, either synthetic
or reclaimed, earlier than
the summer of 1941, if then. Even
the needs of the Army have been
cut to the bone.
Dean Schaub suggested that
farmers make as few trips to
town as possible. When making
such trips, they should share
rides with their neighbors. If
possible, three to four families j
in a community should organize
a "Share A Ride Club".
The director also pointed out
that neighborhoods could organize
definite days for sending a
truck or car to market. However,
the person in charge should
make sure that a full load goes
and that the truck returns with
a full load.
At marketing time, farmers
would be wise to organize a regular
schedule, for taking their
products to the market, when
convenient lumping their loads
from neighboring farms.
Individual farmers who held |
some hope of buying a new truck j
from the supply now available
may be disappointed, the Extension
director said, unless it can
be shown that the vehicle will
be put to good use in the community.
As a final reminder, Dr. Scaub
said: j "Use a horse or mule,
whenever possible, for hauling.
Until the general use of automobiles,
these animals did all of
this type of work, and they can
do it again."
