Winter Peas Raise
Value of Next Crop
If handled properly, every acre of
Austrian winter peas should be
worth $10 to $20 an acre in increas
ed crop yields the first year, says E.
C. Blair, agronomy extension spec
ialist of N. C. State College.
Farmers are now planting these
peas, many of which have been furn
ished by the AAA through its grant
of-aid plan. Blair said the seedings
should be made in September, the
earlier the better. He warned that
peas planted in October and Novem
ber will not be large enough to turn
under until May.
Austrian winter peas may be
planted after corn, cotton, tobacco,
peanuts, cowpeas, soybeans, and
other crops. They may be turned un
der in time to plant corn, and in
some counties in time for cotton. It
is not advisable to plow them in for
tobacco. They may be turned under
for peanuts, soybeans and sowpeas on
sandy soils.
Blair advised sowing 35 to 40
pounds of seed per acre on land
where the peas have not been grown
before. Twenty-five pounds per acre
is sufficient when the peas are drill
ed in, or 30 pounds when broadcast
ing on land that is well-inoculated.
The agronomist said the seed must
be inoculated, unless they are to be
sown on land that has already been
inoculated. Land inoculated for gar
den (May) peas does not require
inoculation for Austrian winter peas.

Blair pointed out that it pays to

pounds per acre of 0-10-10 in the
Coastal Plain, and 200 pounds of
0-14-7 in the Piedmont and Moun
tains.

His Case.
"I don't see how I could have saved
my crops feeling as weak and run
down as I did, but I feel so much
better and stronger since taking Re

without trouble, declares Mr. M O.
Tedder, well known farmer of Route

praising this noted stomachic and
Vitamin B-l medicine.
"I ate so little that I felt weak and
undernourished," continued Mr. Ted
der. "My nerves were high strung,
and it seemed to me that nearly ev
erything I ate made me swell up with
gas. I had to take strong laxatives
for constipation, and at times every
muscle in my body seemed to ache
and I fell off to only 135 pounds.
"Retonga brought me such grand
relief that I have a splendid appetite

ONE OUT OF FIVI HOUSES WERE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED
This chart, prepared by the British Information Services, shows that Britain has grown stronger since the
war began in 1939, while her people have borne heavier burdens. Note the rationed commodities end the
restrictions on supplies for civilians. Of particular interest is that section of the chart which showe that
between September 1939 and March 1940 one out of every five houses was damaged or destroyed.
Grandmothers Do Their Bit
Ever-increasing demands of the war machine for labor have sven
brought grandmothers to the production line. Two of them, who are
helping to keep up production schedules are Mrs. Ruby Lawrence
(left) and Mrs. Earl La Roe. They are shown at work in the La Roe
family shop in Eustis, Fla., where they process vital war parts. This

Loans Available On
1942 Cotton Crop
Applications now are being re
ceived from North Carolina farmers
for federal loans on the 1942 cotton
crop, according to Tom M. Cornwall,
Cleveland County farmer and a
member of the State AAA Commit
tee, with headquarters at State Col
lege,
The loan rate in North Carolina is
17,41 cents per pound in 45 eastern
counties, and 17.46 cents per pound
in the rest of the state, the different
ial being due to freight charges. The
lower rate will prevail in Vance,
Franklin, Wake, Harriett, Hoke and
Scotland counties, and all counties
to the east.
The state's loan rate is based on
a national loan rate of 16.02 cents
per pound, which is 85 per cent of
the parity price of cotton on August
1, 1942. The national loan rate on
the 1941 crop was 14.02 cents per
pound. All loan rates are based on
middling 15-16 inch staple, and prem
iums and discounts will be made for
better or inferior grades.
Loans are made by the Commodity
Credit Corporation, and may be ob
tained until May 1, 1943, through lo
cal banks or other lending agencies
designated by the corporation. All
loans mature on July 31, 1943, but
may be called before that time.
Cornwell said all cotton produced
substantially in compliance with
provisions of the AAA farm program
is eligible for a federal loan at full
value. Cotton offered for a federal
loan must be, and must always have
been, owned by the person seeking
the loan, or by that person and *a
share tenant or sharecropper. Cot
ton received in payment for fixed or
standing rent is not eligible for a
federal loan.

U.S. Marines Assist
Torpedo Victims
Parris Island, S. C.?Marines had
the "situation well in hand" when
a group of 13 survivors of a tor
pedoed Norwegian vessel were
brought to the Naval Hospital here.
After drifting for fifteen days in
a small open lifeboat the handful of
survivors, whose only ration dur
ing their ordeal was a wine glass of
water each day, were suffering from
shock and malnutrition.
New in the rescue field, members
of the Parris Island Red Cross chap
ter, composed entirely of Marine
Corps personnel and their families,
went to work. Not only did they help
nurse the grateful sailors back to
health, but they also completely out
fitted them with clothing.
One young marine donated his
recently discarded civilian clothes,
deliberately leaving a wallet con
taining his personal funds in a coat
pocket.
