The Home Front
Most of the nation's farm com
' munkies will, or have, felt the
effect of many War Production
BoArd Orders to conserve mater
ials. Just recently, the OPA acted
to place 90 per cent of the na
tion's pork products under a 60
day temporary maximum whole
sale price .regulation, Hog prices
have been rapidly rising, reflect
ing demand from three, majn
sources, and Ler.l-Lease. While
neither farmers nor retailers are
directly concerned by the move,
which becomes effective March 23,
both will feel it since prices ; the
packer may pay for hogs are lim
ited by the price ceiling.
Tired -Tractor Out
J3ecau.se crude rubber must be
conserved for military needs, pro
duction of rubber tired tractors is
to be stopped by May 1, necessi
tating a shift to steel-wheeled
equipment. Farmer Brown and his
neighbor is' in for some bumpy
riding.
As fresh U. S. industries are
drafted for war production, there
looms, for the duration the dis
appearance of nylon hose, the end
of civilian radio and phonograph
manufacture and the rationing of
typewriters. Virtually all women's
hose will be made of cotton oi
rayon after April 1. Kadio and
phonograph production is to be
halted by April 22.
Women's Fahon
One place where WPB appar
ently doesn't want any pronounced
change is in women's fashions.
WPB, which took the cuff from
men's pants, forbade vests on
double breasted suits, is going to
ietiio an order on women's apparel
soon, but its intention will be to
"more or less freeze the existing
cilhniiMte ". Then no longer can
Milady complain that "is isn't'
wornout, of course, but us so om
of .style."
P.a Rationing
Petroleum Co-ordinator Harold
lckes clamped an official order on
that long awaited issue ol con
enmpr ias rationing. If any Krumb
hich we doubt, the
question to be realistically asked
is whether the rationing of gas for
Mr. John Doe is more or less im
portant than the cutting ot tuel tor
the gas-eating equipment of Amer
ica's armed forces. We are inclin
pH to airee that this new ration
ing move drives home anew to
many American citizens that basic
truth that conservation and wise
use of our resources must go hand
in hand with production and fight
ing in our country's victory pro
gram. This rationing will be ac
complished by a rigid coupon sys
tem. It ic iwit vet certain iust how
much the gallonage of the average
motorist mutht out. but the point
lias been made that individuals
would be classified according to
their needs. Actual rationing wil
begin as soon as the millions o,
cards can be printed, which prob
ably will be in about six weeks.
Meanwhile, filling stations are be
ing required by the War Produc
tion Board to confine their oper
ations to 72 hours per week. Many
stations are complying with the
order by remaining open 12 hour-
Hav tix davs a week.
And so, conservation marches
on !
Additional supplies of burlap bags
for hatruinir seed nntatoes. and
other farm nroduce have been made
available for North Carolina farm
ers by the War Production Board,
according to G. Tom Scott, chair
man of the North Carolina USDA
War Board.

Pasture, Hay, And Silage j
Needed By Dairymen
A cow without roughage is like
soldier without a bullet, says
John A. Arey, Extension dairyman
jf N. C. State college, lo produce
milk for victory, the cow must
have the proper amounts and kinds
of feed it needs. Roughage is the
ammunition the cow requires to
accomplish 'her job in the Food-
mr-Victory program.
The Extension dairyman pointed
out, ( first, that quality roughage is
the cheapest source of feed for
dairy cows. This is the season pi'
the year, he says, when plans
should be made for the production
jf an abundant supply of grazing,
hay and silage to be used this
summer and next winter.
On mast farms additional graz
ing is needed to supplement the
permanent pasture. Good supple
mentary pasture can be secured
from lespedeza, which should al
ready have been seeded in small
grains, or from sudan grass ano
sovtheans. vet to be planted. All
of these plants are drought resis
oant and will provide good graz
ing during the late summer and
fall season when the milk flow
drop's, due largely to short graz
tng of low protein content.
Biloxi soybeans, seeded in early
April and fertilized with 300 to 400
pounds i a 3-8-6 fertilizer, will
provide abundant grazing by ear 1
June. This variety of beans aan
tie grazed several times during the
summer, at intervals of about 15
days, if all the leaves are not re
moved at one time.
Sudan grass, seeded at the rate
of 30 pounds per acre and ferti
lized with about 400 pounds per
acre of a good complete fertilizer,
will provide good grazing about six
weeks after seeding. Sudan grass
and soybeans, seeded about the
first of July, will provide grazing
until frost if the cows are alter
nated from one pasture to another,
thus preventing too close grazing

Farmers Will Select
New AAA Committeemen
Preparations for electing addi
tional Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration community committee
men are going forward in prac
tically every county of the state,
according to G. T. Scott, chairmatit
of the State AAA Committee. Elec
tions in all counties must be com
pleted by April 1.5.
Mr. Scott said the elections are
being held following redisricting
of the state to alter AAA com
munity boundaries to include ap
proximately 150 farms, and in no
case more than 200 ifarms. In
some cases, he said, the communi
ties alreadv include 200 or less
farms, and these boundaries have
not been changed. Where boitn
dariejs have been altered farmer
voters will elect three regular
committeemen and two alternates.
"This steo has been taken at
this time to facilitate the admin
istrative duties of the community
committeemen," he said. "With the
current shortage of transportation
and labor, it is necessary that com
mitteemen be able to contact farm
ers in their communities with
ereater efficiency but with less
travel."
He declared the community com
mitteemen would be charged with
greater responsibilities under the
new plan, and at the same time
.vould be able, to be away from
their own farms for shorter per
iods of time.
Chairman Scott declared this will
be the only election of committee
men to be held in 1942, and urg
ed farmers to select committeemen
who are willing to accept the add
ed responsibilities.
Following the election of com
mitteemen, county conventions will
oe held for the purpose of electing
county AAA committees. These
ire composed of a chairman,
Wee-chairman, a thifd regular
member, and two alternates. The
county committee, in turn, elects
:ts secretary and treasurer.

Scrap iron on far ma la badly

m f-
North Carolina farmers have re
sponded with enthusiasm to the
nation's need to repair farm ma
chinery and to sell scrap metal,
according to reports made to the
State USDA War Board. Machin
ery must be in tip-top shape for
production of urgently needed war
crops this year, and scrap metal
is essential for steel mills produc
ing arms to fight the Axis.
Approximately 28,000,000 pounds
of scrap metal have been collected
in the State so far. New appeals
are being made for more scrap
from farms by the War Produc
tion Board which says some mills
are slowing down due to lack of
scrap. The board says there still
is enough scrap metal on farms
of the nation, 'if used with other
materials, to make more battle
ships than there are in the world
today, or enough 2,000-pound bombs
to drop three a minute for more
than three years, ore enough 100-
pound bombs to drop one every
second for more than three years.
