" a G COMPOSTS SHOULD RELIEVE SHORTAGE hj OF FERTILIZER ci K With many valuable fertilizers Jcut off because of the war, North er Carolina farmers can turn to cc conservation of fertilizer mater- N; ials from minor sources and help relieve shortages, says Dr, E. R. 01 Collins, Extension agronomy leader of N. C. State College. re Composts or mixtures; are be- 35 ing made constantly through ec the rotting of leaves, twigs, roots and other organic matter. Various substances may help supply organic matter and also of- *i] ten supply nitrogen, phosphoric al acid, potash, and other elements st needed by growing plants. tr "For example," Dr. Collins said "in butchering hogs on the farm ^ various parts of the carcass are P1 frequently wasted. These are n( " " * -1 rr : t ? u ? ? III vaiuaoie ierumzers. ivntucu waste is good for composts, too, at if they cannot be fed to animals. "Dry leaves, weeds, sweepings M from the house and barn, coffee tr grounds, fruit peelings, soot, and T] wood ashes are other examples," the agronomist continued. p Compost may be made in a number of ways, Dr. Collins said, S but the most common is to alternate layers of stable manure with waste and absorbent ma- tc terials, such as dried leaves, peat, hi muck, and sod. The pile is kept p] moist and turned several times hi to mix the compost thoroughly. The outside of the pile may be u. covered with soil. S ichsoi .

ERWIN And FRANCES McKVSICK Washington?Much has been written about wartime confusion in the Nation's Capital. Your Tar Heel Washington correspondents have been frank in discussing this confusion at all times, where secret'information was not involved and where it was felt disclosure of the facts would be helpful. There is now evidence that this confusion has begun to clear up, and it is well for the people and their state of mind to know it. President Roosevelt has shown more of a tendency to take the bull by the horns, particularly in the field of universal price control to prevent the cost of living from going sky high. His special committee headed by I Bernard Baruch turned .in a hard-hitting report on the rubber shortage that will do much to clear up that situation. This report paves the way for | nationwide gasoline rationing, and when that materializes the discrimination in favor of East Tennessee and against Western North Carolina, especially the Great Smoky Mountain National Park area, will have been removed. Speaking of a lessening of confusion, consider such simple things as traffic and telephone service. Used to be that when you drove past the War and Navy Departments o n Constitution Avenue during the morning and evening rush hours, you ran into the worst traffic jam in the world. Those who didn't absolutely have to travel that route chose another one, to avert Army and Navy people going to work as well as the hordes of Virginians swinging down Constitution Avenue after crossing Arlington Memorial Bridge near the departments. Now there is a traffic policeman at every corner aloftg Constitution during the rush period. These cods are doing a good job. They are keeping traffic on an even flow. There is a snarl now and then, of course. That's to be expected. But the present situation is nothing like that of a few months ago. y As for telephone service to Government departments, there is as much difference as between night and day. Not so long ago, the Government operators were so burdened that if you made a call and the line was busy, they had to ask you to call back, or ?Continued on Page Two inty I EMBER 17, 1942 SEPTEMBER[ ssssm - DO r?"""

I rcasurv Depa'tmcnt Spider With V j Found In Bean Patch By Allen A white spider, with a distinct V on its back was found by Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Allen on a bean vine at their home on Courtland Heights this week. The spider has black spots on its body; but is evidently on the side of the allied nations in their fight for liberty. Even insects prefer liberty to the despised rule of Hitler and Japan. What does the V portend? Does it mean that the United Nations will win the war in rec ord time; or is it a warning tu us that victory depends upon our own faith and our own efforts. Joseph or Daniel or the soothsayers of ancient Rome or Greece might have been able to interpret the . message of . the spider. At any rate, the V is popular in America and in Europe. Last spring a bear was noticed in the Smokies with a V on its breast. Now the V spider appears in the Aliens' bean patch.
