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.

Softer Miles and Safer Miles
? 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.
You seem to feel your
car leaning into
the curves, like

You come out of fast emergency

You start,stop, accelerate and turn

And all this has been true of every

FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? 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.

It is good comon sense to shrink
woolens when making clothing ar

ing specialists. 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

and not to stretch or pull the wool

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

damp sheet is a simple way to
dampen it. Allow it to stand in the
