More Corn Yield Is Highly Valuable To Tar Heel Farmers North Carolina's 1947 average corn yield of two bushels per acre over last year would mean nearly eleven million extra dollars in Tar heel farmers' pockets if it was sold at today's price level, accord ing to Director I. O. Schaub of the State College Extension Service. Last year's average yield of 27 bushels per acre brought about a production of 58,914,000 bushels, Director Schaub said. With the present forecast of 29 bushels per acre, on approximately the same acreage, this two bushel per acre increase would mean a production of more than sixty-three million bushels. The extra four million bushels of corn, which is expected to be produced this year, could come at no better time, he said, in view of the corn shortage in the Midwest ern states. Despite the increase in corn yields, North Carolina farmers are urged to supplement their feeds by producing more forage crops, and hay, and planting more tem porary grazing crops. North Car olina is still a feed-importing state, and unless farmers get rid of the laggards in their flocks and herds and make the best use of land available fur producing more feed for their livestock, they may be laced with a serious feed shortage this winter.

BuicKs Safety-Ride rim YOU sense it right from the first in the way your Buick handles. You feel it not only in the cloud soft ride of this big beauty, but in the way it seems to lean into the curves, the way it holds its "track," answers unfailingly to your touch on the wheel. The reason? Simply that even .before the war, Buick found a way to get greater softness and greater safety from standard-size tires that are available anywhere. Put a Buick wheel beside a wheel from other cars, and you see at once that Buick rims are wider. In fact, they are an inch to an inch and a half wider ? from 20% to 33%. By this simple step, standard-size tires of any make are given greater air capacity. This permits lower air pressure and the softer ride that naturally comes from travel ing on 25 pounds instead of 30. In addition, widening the base of the tires gives bracing against side-thrust, as your legs brace you when you stand with feet apart. This checks sidesway and the ten dency of a tire to "roll under" on sharp or fast turns. Furthermore, the tread is flat* tened. More rubber is put on die road. More rubber means more traction ? more braking power ? more resistance to skidding ? far, far better car control. And you have only to compare the handling of a Buick with any other car to see the result. .. . You travel with a soft, level buoy ancy that is Buick's own.

What procedures should I follow in renovating and fertilizing my strawberry patch? ANSWES ? The strawberries should be fertilized immediately in case they have not been fertil ized within the last six weeks, says E. B. Morrow, research as sociate professor of Horticulture at State College. If the beds are heavily matted all over the ground, it may pay to plow up or hoe out the middles, leaving a matted row bed not wider than 18 inches. The fertilizer may then be distributed in by cultivat ing the soil back toward the plants. QUESTION ? What are the ad vantages of mixing several crops for hay mixtures? ANSWER ? Mixtures of sev eral crops are often used for hay to increase the yield; to give va riety and thereby improve the hay's ' paiatability; and to change the nutritive ratio of the hay. Small grains and winter leg umes are both improved by being mixed. The grains prevent bedding | down and excessive tangling of the j legumes while their hollow stems make the hay easier to cure. The legumes make the hay higher in protein. An almost endless variety of these mixtures can be made. The general rule should be to combine a full seeding of grains with two thirds of a full seeding of legumes. The time to cut such mixtures is when the grain is in the milk stage, j regardless of the legume. ; One good mixture, the amounts being for one acre is: lVa bushels of oats, 1 bushel of wheat, IS pounds of vetch, and 10 pounds of Austrian winter peas. In fitting a collar on a horse or mule, it should be put on and so buckled that the sides of the collar are snug enough against the neck to make it feasible to pass the fingers only, held flat, between the rim of the collar and the sides of the neck when the collar is pressed or drawn strongly back against the shoulders.

A new wool dress or garment that hasn't had the pre shrinking process is very likely to come back from the cleaner's several sizes too small in the wrong places. Labels usually indicate whether or not the material has been pre shrunk. If no label indication is on the goods, it is better to play safe and do your own shrinking before making a garment. Many conflicting directions have been given for shrinking wool at home, but recent tests by clothing specialists show that pressing the entire piece of wool with a steam iron is a simple and satisfactory When Your Back Hurts And Tour Strength and Energy la Below Par It may be caused by disorder of kid ney (unction that permit* poisonous waste to accumulate.

Care must be taken to hold and press with the weave and not to stretch or pull the wool in the process. A wide ironing board makes this easier. If you don't have a steam iron, it is necessary to dampen the wool thoroughly and then press it with a moderately warm iron under a press cloth. Rolling the wool in a damp sheet is a simple way to dampen it. Allow it to stand in the rolled sheet overnight and then press on the wrong side with a dry press cloth with no pulling. or stretching.
