Auto Industry Is
Offering Problem
The problem of how to adjust mat
ters between the demands of arma
ments and the auto Industry so as to
take care of defense needs without
cutting car output to an uneconom
ic low level has been a major one
for months. Now SPAB has a 14
point plan that would "release 454,
808,270 pounds of raw materials for
defense and at the same time keep
civilian transportation wheels roll
ing." Basic features of the plan: pro
duction of only the lightest-weight
car or series now being built by each
parent manufacturer; allocation of
production on the basis of critical
materials used, volume needed for
successful plant operation, and num
ber of dealers dependents on a man
ufacturer; elimination of deluxe
models and production of only two
door and four-door sedan models. It
gets down to brass tasks in calling
for a master inventory to determine
the amount of raw materials avail
able after military and lend-lease re
quirements have been filled, and
then "allocation of these materials to
the industries producing items essen
tial to the clvtlian effort as It relates
to defense."

Farm Prices Climb
Toward 1920 I^vel
Higher consumer, incomes, gov
ernment price support, and reduced
competition from abroad may cre
ate for American farmers in 1942 a
total income approaching 13 billion
dollars, greatest since the lush days
of 1920.
Quoting latest estimates released
by the U. S Department of Agricul
ture, Dr. I O. Schaub, director of
the N. C. State College Extension
Service, said J he demand for farm
products in 1942 will be "even bet
ter" than in 1941.
Increased cash returns were fore
cast largely on the basis of higher

in 1941, although a moderate in

livestock and livestock products, will
j contribute.

received by farmers Foi the year
[1942. the ratio of prices received to
' prices paid should be about at par
ity.
In its latest outlook report, the U.
JS. Department of Agriculture point
ed out that farm prices this year will
average nearly 25 per cent over 1940,
and that a gain of about the same
proportions is indicated for 1942 OV

If contemplated goals are met,
there will be a sharp increase in the
production of livestock products.
This will more than offset a decline
of nearly 10 per cent m the output of

j be higher next year, and moderate

in the prices of farm machinery, fer

Strategy Will Help
In Insect Control
Insects cotf North Carolina term
ers thousands of dollars annually in
reduced yields and quality of crops.
J. O. Rowell. extension entomologist
of N. C. State College, says it will
pay farmers to study insects and
their habits and develop means of
combatting them.
"The insects of fruit and garden
crops." he s^ys, "can he controlled
economically by insecticides or
chemical measures. But with field
crops, the relatively low value pro
hibits such costly 'methods in most
instances. Hence, the fanner is forc
ed to resort to strategy, to a large
measUre. in fighting many of the
field crops insects, especially those j
that inhabit the soil."
Rowell says the most elementary
principle- in protecting field crops
from their insect enemies is that of
keeping the two separated in as far
as is possible. This principle is em
bodied in crop rotations.
For example .the entomologist ex
breed normally on grass, also attack
the grain crops but do not bother le
gumes Therefore, insects often can
be controlled by avoiding the plant
ing of grain crops, especially corn,
on land which previously was in
sod.
"Crop rotations also tend to separ
ate the crop from its pests if the ro
tation system includes. as it should,
eii>ps which are unrelated and hence
do not havc the same group of pests."
Howell stated. "If the crop is grown
on the same land for many success
ive years, its pests will increase each
year.'
In conclusion. Rowell said, "Crop
rotations arc a complete control
measure only in a few instances. But
this system will aid in reducing in
jury."

North Carolina's Revolutionary WaN
Heroine Describes Her "Paul Re

The midnight ride of Paul Revere
was not any more courageous than I
the midnight ride of Mary Slocumb.
She arrived in time to see a part of
the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge.
Colonel Slocumb would tell of the
memorable action which took place t
and the gallant fighting of his men;
but he never forgot to say, "And, my
wife was there."
Approximately 81) men departed
from Mary Slocumb's home with her
husband on Sunday morning. She
watched as they "got off in high
spirits; every man stepping high and
light " That night- she slept sound
but when night came, her rest was
broken by her troubled intuition.
She retired at the usual time; but
in her words. As I lay? whether j

wounded on the groundabout him." j
Tn the cool of the night Mary Slo-t

Again and again she was tempted
to turn back, but as the distance be
Lvs eon her and her home increased,
she became more determined to find
her husband. She said that her fear
>1 finding him dead or dying was as
much her "presentment and convic
tion" as any fact in her life. Neither
her spirit nor that of her beautiful
nag failed in the least. The sun was
"well up" when she heard the can
non firing. She had followed the
well-marked trail of the troops.
Under a cluster of trees she spied
wounded men. In her words, "I
knew the spot; the very trees . . I
had seen it all night." Her keen eyes
detected her husband's bloody guard
cloak. "How 1 passed the few yards
from my saddle to the place, 1 never
knew" were her comments. When
she put her hand on the warm bloody
face, a "strange voice" pegged for
water. While busy dressing wounds
she asked Colonel Caswell, "Where

"Where he ought to be, Madam, in
pursuit of the enemy," was the re
ply.
Soon she looked up and her hus
band had returned "as bloody as a
butcher and as muddy as a ditch

She would ' not tell her husband
what brought her to the battlefield.
All were happy; it was*a glorious
victory.
Colonel Slocumb and Colonel Cas
well wanted her to stay until the
next day. but she insisted on return
ing to her son. This story of her ride
to the battlefmnt is concluded with
her words: "What a happy ride I had
back And with what joy did I em
brace my child as he ran to meet
me."
Fertiliser Recommended
For Tobacco Plant Beds
L. T. Weeks, Extension tobacco
specialist, reports that the flue-cured
tobacco fertilizer recommendations
for 1942. as adopted by the Southern
Tobacco Work Conference, call for
. a plant bed fertilizer containing 6
per cent nitrogen. 9 per cent phos
phoric acid, and 3 per cant potash,
to be applied at the rate of 1 pound
| to the square yard. The plant bed
fertilizer should be practically free
of chlorides.
