"The people of the United Q r/% iv\ aIim Arl f r* rrlnrif tr ait 111L1U1CU l/U their nation as the greatest in the history of the world.

It was a terrible thing to stay out of the League". Congressman Folger declared that "isolation is poppycock" and that the people of the United States cannot live to themselves. "We found that out during the last few months when we .should have learned it 1111914" he asserted. C C.

"These dates were arrived at with the expectancy of receiving sufficient tires tubes, and other bus repairs prior to the above dates". 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 ; fall and winter." 1 Hay-making is one of the next ? i_i_? -? 4-v.a form and : harvesting juu& uxi UilC itttlll, M?

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.

Since entering the service on September 30, 1941, Jackson has graduated from the army radio school as operator-mechanic, and is now on duty as radio operator at Morrison Field, West Palm Beach, Florida, where he will remain until called to report for basic training as cadet.

Mr. Allison was a member of one of the county's oldenst and most prominent families. One of fourteen brothers and sisters, he was the last surviving Of the brothers, and is survived by only one sister, Mrs. J. L. Broyles of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

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 growing on the land just i I * i r .. i o, I . ? / : ? I.': ? *-> I '! #it?

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." i ' Fullbright On Furlough Private Howard Fullbright, who is stationed at Oamp Forrest, Tennessee, has been visiting his parents here. !
