North Carolina farmers who still are gathering scrap metal on their
farms for use in the nation’s steel mills are cautioned not to sell for
scrap any pieces which are usable for farm purposes. The North Caro
lina USDA War Board, with headquarters at State College, says many
pieces of scrap metal often contain parts which may be used in repair
ing farm machinery. The board says, however, that every bid of scrap
not usable for other purposes is vitally needed in making arms and
munitions to fight the Axis, and should be placed in trade channels as
rapidly as possible. The scrap collection campaign will continue for the
duration. It is no more a one-week or one-month campaign than the
war is a one-week or one-month conflict, the board points out.

Farmers Must Make
Effort to Conserve
Autos and' Trucks
--
Each Car or Truck Is Vital
Link in Movement of
Farm Products
Farmers of Washington County
have a definite responsibility to con
serve their tires, passenger automo
biles, and trucks in the interest of
wartime food production, according
to W. D. Phelps, Chairman of the
County USDA War Board.
Pointing out that “before we real
ize it, both tires and repair parts for
farm autos and trucks will be im
posible to obtain,” Chairman Phelps
urged farmers to do as little driving
as possible, and to share travel and
hauling with their neighbors.
“While it is true that farmers have
been able to obtain automobile and
truck repair parts, and have certain
preference ratings with local tire
rationing boards, this won’t mean a
thing when repair parts and recap
tires are unobtainable,” he said.
Citing the responsibility of North
Carolina farmers in transportation
problems Chairman Phelps pointed
out that the 1940 census listed 127,
476 passenger automobiles and 20,621
trucks on farms of the State. Each
of these, he said, is a vital link in the
movement of wartime agricultural
products.
“It would be tragic”, he said, “if
there should be a breakdown in the
wartime farm production program
because of transportation trouble. We
must make our autos and trucks last
for the duration of the war. This
means using them as little as pos
sible and special care of both tires
and vehicles.”
Chairman Phelps pointed out that
the Japanese now occupy Far East
ern areas from which this nation
formerly obtained 98 percent of its
rubber supply. The stockpile of rub
ber on hand is bei' g used so rapid
ly that some army tanks will be
manufactured with steel treads in
stead of rubber. It will be many
months before any large supply of
synthetic rubber is available, and
most of this will go for military pur
poses. There will be some crude rub
ber from Brazil and the Gauyle plant,
as well as some reclaimed rubber, but
these supplies will be used in fight
ing the war.
Likewise, he said, there will be
practically no new farm trucks, and
before long, many dealers will be
running out of repair parts because
manufacturers have gone into mak
ing war materials.

Dusting of Peanuts
With Sulphur Pays
-eg:
By S. B. FENNE
Extension Plant Pathologist. Virginia
Agricultural Extension Service
Three applications of a ‘‘condi
tioned” superfine dusting sulphur,
starting about July 15 and repeat
ing at two-week intervals will in -
crease your peanut yield at least 25
per cent.
It has been clearly demonstrated
by the results of the past 4 years of
experimental work and numerous
farm demonstrations in Virginia that
three applicatios of sulphur dust,
costing approximately $1.50 per acre,
will increase the yield of peanuts at
least 25 per cent—frequently much
more than this. The increased yield
of peanut hay alone much more than
pays for the cost of the sulphur dust
applied. A 400-pound increase per
acre, with $20 profit, is not unusual.
A 4-row traction duster is the most
practical type of dusting machine to
use. Dealers still have dusters avail
able for sale. It is suggested that
about 3 or 4 farmers buy and use a
4-row traction duster cooperatively.
Your County Agent has detailed in
formation on peanut dusting. Why
not drop around to his office, soon,
and talk the matter over with him?
Dust your peanuts with sulphur
and Increase your yield.

SOODERHAM & WORTS LIMITED, PEORIA, ILLINOIS
For many years, folks used the world’s
first form of transportation—their feet!
Then the marvels of engineering were able
to provid almost everyone with an automo
bile to drive around in, and we sort of forgot
our feet were for much else than to stand on
—and walk to and from our cars. But we
haven’t gone “soft.” We can still walk;
it’s good for us. It will reacquaint us with
the town in which we live. It will prove to
us that there isn’t a daily need or want that
can’t be satisfied within our town’s limits.
Make “just around the corner” your
buy-word from now on. Your car will last
longer—and you’ll help bring victory that
much sooner. Especially when you buy
War Bonds and Stamps with your savings.

FOR YOUR CAR, TOO!
You can give your car the same protection against wear that the
Army gives many of its “Jeeps”, tanks and other vehicles. Just
see your nearby Sinclair Dealer. He has Sinclair lubricants of
the same quality used by the U. S. Army.
To save wear on your engine, ask for Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil.
Opaline stands up better and lasts longer because it is de-waxed
and de-jellied. Have your Sinclair Dealer drain and refill your
crankcase with Opaline every 1,000 miles.
