Farmers Advised To Plant Large Number Acres of Lespedeza State AAA Official Urges Plan for Earning Soil Building Payments Farmers of North Carolina are urg ed by E. Y. Floyd, state AAA execu tive assistant, to make every effort to earn as many soil building parc tice payment units as possible this year by seeding lespedeza. Floyd said field surveys show there is still a good supply of lespedeza seed in the hands of retail and whole sale dealers over the state, and added that there is still time to seed the crop. Many farmers plant lespedeza over their small grains but many others also seed in the open field and this is the best time for such plant ing. He said seeding lespedeza earns the farmer one-half unit, 75 cents, garages, tailors, laundries, dry clean ers, shoe repair shops and the like after July 1 can be no higher than the maximum rates in March. On and after May 18. all retail stores must post the new controlled prices of all “cost of living" com i modifies within plain sight of their | customers. The commodities most i significant in the budgets of the av erage low and middle income fam j ilies include such staples as cigar ettes, aspirin tablets, toothbrushes, ice cream, virtually all clothing, most meats, canned foods, household ap pliances, such as radios, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, china, rugs and other furnishings and hard ware.

May Quota of Tires, Tubes, Retreads Received by County Rationing Roard The Washington County Ra tioning Board has received tlie May tire and tube quota for the country, in some ways it com pares fairly well with the April quota and iti some ways it does not, according to W. I. Whitley, chairman. The May quota is: for passen ger cars, 4 tires, 18 retread. 11 tubes; for trucks, 17 tires. 27 re treads and 23 tubes. By compari son. the April quota was as fol lows: passenger cars: 7 new tires, 32 retreads, 10 tubes: for trucks 19 tires. 17 retreads, 18 tubes.

From time to time, Mr. Whit ley has been successful in getting a small increase in the number of tires and retreads issued to this county, but, nevertheless, there 1 are a number of persons in the county who are on the eligible list but who will not be able to get tires, tubes or retreads. per acre toward soil building prac tice payments under the Agricultural Conservation Program.
