that for Hit first tune in history, the

"Old or worn-out; flags should not be

Furthermore, births during that
period exceeded the 14.424 deaths in
the State by 20.020.
Maternal deaths were shown to be
on the decrease, there having been
only 161 during the first five months'
of 1941. as compared with 188 for the

But the mounting toll of deaths

comes in for consideration.
From January through May, vital
statistics figures show. 709 persons ;
in North Carolina were accidently;

CINCINNATI, OHIO. May (W
(Special)?A full appreciation of
the realities of war is possessed

During the World War, Bishop
Hobson served as captain and ma

and once gassed in fighting on the
Western Front.
"No one hates war more than I

Possible To Save
Your Garden Seed
Quite a few of the garden crops
that are grown in North Carolina
produce seed that can be saved if
precautions are taken to prevent dis
eases from carrying over from year- j
to-year, says L. P Watson. Exten
sion horticulturist of N. C. State Col
lege*.
"By saving your own seed, you
have an opportunity to select those !
plants which seem to do particular
ly well under local conditions," Wat- i
son said to farmers. "However, many |
diseases of vegetable crops are seed
borne," he added.
Beans and peas are among the best
crops from which to save seed. S?ed
can be obtained by marking a few
of the finest plants with a bit of cloth
ill th?* beginning nf tho harvesting ?
season. When ripened until the pods
are dry, these plants should be pull
ed in the early morning to avoid
shattering. They should then be
hung or spread in any airy, dry place
until the seed harden. Then the seed
sliould be shelled and spread out,
not more than two or three grains
deep, and when dry, stored for the
winter in a cool, dry place.
The best sweet corn seed can be
obtained by allowing it to ripen on
the plant. Select the best and earliest
ears by stripping down the husks
to examine the grain and to remove
any WOphs that may be found* Then
can-fully fold the husks back and
hold them in place by an elastic band
or a string. A convenient way to store
sweet corn is by the ear. A single
ear will plant a small garden.
The S4MVe-rgeheral practices are
used in saving other seed, Watson
said Full information on seed-sav
ing maybe obtained by writing to
the Department of Horticulture,
State College Station, Raleigh.
