To End Jan. 1st
Increased Production
Of Passenger Tires
Eases To Point That
Rationing Isn't Needed
Tire rationing will end at 12:01
a m. January 1, Price Adminis
trator Chester Bowles has an
nounced. He said the rationing program
cm he terminated then "because
production of tires, particularly
passenger tires, the shortage of
which has been most acute, has
increased steadily during the past,
two months, reaching an output for
this quarter of about 11.000,000."
Howies said OPA and the Civil
ian production administration had
aiireed that rationing could be lift
ed when production reached this
level.
Holders of tire purchase eertifi
c.'ites will haw through December
Al to turn in ration coupons to
dealers and obtain passenger or
truck tires before unrationed sales
After tomorrow, no additional
ration certificates will be issued
except in emergency cases.
Tire rationing began January 5,

from the day after Pearl Harbor.
Civilian production administra
tor John D. Small advised Bowles
ttjftt current weekly production of
uit.ssenger tires will approximate
4,000.000 this month. Small esti
mated that 66,000.000 passenger
tires will be made in 1946.
liowles warned that termination
of rationing does not mean there
is an ample supply of tires to met
all requests.
"For many months," he added,
"it will remain important that mo
torists continue to do everything
possible to avoid excessive w?ar
and tear on tires. There will be
many who will have to wait to get
1 ires."
The OPA chief urged all motor
ists who can wait for a flew lire
until rationing ends to do so.
The prohibition on spare tires
for new cars will be continued.
along with restrictions on white
Mdewall tires and tire exports.

Many Changes To
Come In Farming
, Now that the war is over, many
changes in farm production in
; North Carolina will be necessary
1 if heavy losses, similar to those
suffered after the last war. are to
avoided, says the sixty-seventh an-
. nual report of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, recently re
leased by Director L. D. Baver.
The report cites the 30 per cent
increase in peanut acreage as com
pared with pre-war years as good
example of what has taken place
in many phases of crop production.
The acreage devoted to truck crops
has been increased by about one
half. The increase In hens and pullets
has been considerably more than
50 per cent, and indications now
point to a large surplus of eggs
and poultry meat during the com
ing year.
"Tobacco growers should be on
the alert for ways of increasing
the quality of the crop and of re
ducing production costs," the re
port suggests. 'This holds true not
only for tobacco but also for all
crops and livestock products.
"At the present time, additional
attention must be given to produc
ing that quality of cotton most
needed by the domestic market.''
The report calls attention to the
need for more dairy cows in North
Carolina but suggests that a large
portion of the increase in the num
ber of animals be used for fajnily
milk cows to improve the general
diet of the farm population.
"Vegetable crops will have to be
adjusted to domestic demands,
which may mean a marked de
crease in acreage." the report
says.
