Chemistry Scores Another Triumph —«—— Paint-brush bristles have for gen erations come from hogs, usually Chinese hogs, and the Chinese had developed a lucrative industry ir gathering, baling and shipping the bristles to world markets. Before the war, we were importing 6,000,001 pounds annually. This was sudden ly cut to almost nothing, just at s time when, with war construction booming, we needed more paint brushes. But six years ago, research ers had begun work on synthetic bris tles and their solution to the prob lem! came> almost coincidentally with the shutting off of imports. The new man-made bristles arc made from cellulose acetate applied as a coating over rayon cord. They do a good job because cellulose acetate is highly flexible', and highly resistant 1 o oils. -$ Li ti tern One bale of cotton loiters wil1 make 20.000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. Civilian rayons are also made from linters and they serve as the basic part in the pro duction of plastics. -*•> MILK In the face of increasing demands for milk and milk products, the es i iimated production during April was 60,000,000 pounds, or 1 per cent | smaller than for the same period last 1 year ■ ■ ■ ..

R. Collins, ir charge of agronomy extension a’ State College. Alfalfa can be grown on moderate ly heavy, well-drained, and fertih upland soils throughout the state It is not suited to bottom soils be cause it gels "wet feet” when the water table is high. It must bi grown on good land because it if not a “poor land” crop. Collins advises that now is the time lo select the land for the sow ing of tlie crop in September. Dish it with a “bus hand bog” harrow leaving as much of the vcgelatior on the surface as possible, and pre pare to disk once or twice more be fore seeding. A sample of tile soil should be taken now and sent to the Soil Test ing Laboratory at Raleigh for i recommendation on how much limt is needed for the crop. It shoulc be applied immediately since lime stone does not quickly neutralize soil acids AYf'application of 5 to 1(1 tons ni (table manure per acre is recom mended .it planting end each yeai thereafter. Also apply 700 pounds of a 2 12-0 fertilizer and 25 poundi of granulated borax per acre. l arg er amounts of borax may damage the crop. Collins ii -unmends the planting of Kansu:- common, Utah common or Oklahoma common seed, at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre with an alfalfa nr clover drill, £ grain drill, a cyclone seeder, or by hand. The rate of seeding should be increased, when the crop is sown by hand. For complete information on seed ing alfalfa locally, see your county j agent.

Ian downers to spend some of their i spare time in cutting pulpwood be cause more ions ot wood go into the war machine than tons of steel, says I It. W. Graeber, extension forester at I N. C. State College. ! Recently 125 farmers and timber j men met in Rutherford County with the county agents and soil eonserva i tionuLs from Polk. Cleveland. Burke land Gaston Counties. Paper eom that one paper company is making 125,000 boxes a day for use in exporting food and war supplies for the army. Ninety-two percent of the paper manufactured by this plant goes in to the war effort and it has a capac ity of 2.200 cords a day. This company is getting only 1,600 cords of the preesnt tlmp and the farmers pledged to cut ex tra pulpwood just as soon as the crops are laid by and before the fall harvest season begins. The conference showed that the army and navy used wood products in about 800 different ways and that the demand is so great for pulpwood and other timber that unless grow ers make every effort to supply the mills with extra timber this year, a sever shortage of wood products will prevail. ! ----*--— TOPPING TOBACCO Experts say that topping tobacco is something of an ait. The grower must have experience in obseiving the growth of tobacco, knowledge of the amount of fertilizer used, and how it will react to different season al conditions on different soil types in order to know how to top tobacco. They say that topping should begin .just as soon as the seed pods begin to show and that the crop develops best il not allowed to blossom and the stalk to become hard. It is an excel lent idea to top higher than neces sary, when in doubt, and then retop later. ■-* MARGARINE Because of the wartime demand for cottonseed oil, the •War Food Ad ministration has requested the mar garine industry to use corn oil as well as soybean oil in the manufac 1 ure of its products. | Triple A To Furnish Austrian i ff inter Pea Seed This Season -v H.
