Saving Garden Seed
Saves Grower Money
Saving seed from the Victory
Garden this year will save mon
ey for the farmer next year when
he plants his vegetables, says H.
K R. Niswonger, Extension Hor
ticulturist of N. C. State College.
Yet he must be careful when
making hi selections, the harti
culturist warned. For instance, he
Should save seed only from plants
which are not infested with dis
eases. Then, too, he should choose
seed from .plants most alike in
varietal character and earlinfcs'.
Also he should save seed from
o,nly or..e variety unless the other
varieties are planted some hun
dred yards apart. Lastly, he
should avoid saving seed where
cross-pollination has occurred.
In the selection and storing of
seed, bean and pea pods should
be pulled in early morning to
to prevent shattering and then
hun or spread in a dry
place until the seeds are quite
hard. Fumigation with carbon
disulphide should follow in order
to kill all insects.
Navy Lowers
Physical Requirements
The Navy Department has eu
horized Navy Recruiting ; tation
today to oornsiderably lower the
the physical requirements for en
listment in all i classes of the Na
val Reserve (except Classes V-l
and V-5). Applicants now must
have 15-20 eyesight, using both
eyes, provided the weaker eye is
6-20 or better, and provided no
organic defect is present. Form
er requirement was a minimum of
15-20 in each eye.
Applicants must have sufficient
natural teeth or .suitable pros
thetic replacements to supply sat
isfactory biting and masticatory
function. Natural teeth must be
serviceable and free of disease.
Previously, they were required to
have at least 18 sound teeth with
at least- two opposing molars.
It is believed that a large num
ber of applicants who have .pre
viously been rejected at the Navy
.Recruiting Stations for defective
vision or teeth can now meet the
requirements for enlistment in the
Naval Reserve. They are urged
to come to the Recruiting Stations
for a recheck of physical con
dition. The local Navy Recruit
ing Station is located in Room
320 in the New Post office
building Atlanta, Georgia,

Forester Offers Tip
On How To Dry Wood
A tip to farm people on a way
to dry fuel wood in the shortest
possible time is offered by W. J.
Barker, assistant Extension for
ester of N. C. State College. He
pointed out green wood, and its
failure to burn, is the cause of
scores of persons turning to some
other type of fuel.
Fuel wood normally requires
from six mon.ths to a year to sea
son properly. Therefore, if the
wood is intended for next winter's
consumption, it should be cut not
later than this summer. ,
The extension worker said that
persons attempting to spend up the
seasoning of fuel wood should un
derstand the process through which
wood goes when it normally dries
out. "The leaves of a tree act as
pumps," stated Barker, "and the
leaves are . continuously drawing
water through the body1 of the
tree.
"To hasten the drying-but pro
cess, the trees can be cut down
and left untrimmed for two to
three weeks. This cuts the trees
off from the source of water sup
ply in the ground. Still, the
leaves continue to draw water out
of the tree."
This method of harvesting timber
will result in dryness equal to three
months of usual seasoning. -The
trees should be left an the ground,
untrimmed, for two weeks in. the
summer for all kinds of trees and
three weeks in winter for pines.
After the "saping-out" period, the
wood oan be cut in.to lengths de
sired and handled in the usual
manner.
Son Of Chinese Official
Inspects N. C. Roads
RALEIGH, N. C. Chang Chi
Chertg may not be able to get
back to his native China to make
use of his degree received from
Cornell last February in civil en
gineering, but he isn't wasting his
time sitting around bemoaning his
troubles.
This week, Chang is making an
inspection of North Carolina's sec
ondary roads under the guidance
of engineers of the State Highway
and Public Works Commission.
Chang explains he is especially
intereste in gravel and dirt roads,
as in China there is little money
to build the more expensive con
crete or asphalt surfaced highways.
Son of a Chinese government of
ficial, Chang hopes the passage to
his native land, for. which he has
been waiting for four months, will
be forthcoming soon.
Though not expecting to enlist in
the Chinese army, Chang does ex
pect he will be attached to the
armed forces as an engineer.
Incidentally, Chang is his family
name, following Chinese custom,
given names follow the surname.

Ever since 1935, when 100-octane gasoline was first
