Check Fire Hazards to Prevent Losses ' There's a dwelling fire every 1 2-5 minutes, a farm fire every 7 1-4 minutes, a mercantile fire every eight minutes, and a fac tory fire every 18 minutes in the United States. ; .; , i - , The ten most common causes of serious fires are a carelessly dis carded cigarette or match; defec tive electrical equipment; over heated or defective heating equip ment, chimneys, and flues; sparks on the roof; -flammable liquids; rubbish ; spontaneous r ' ignition j children playing j ulth matches; hot ashes and coals; and lack of fire protection equipment; ; Fire Prevention Week has been scheduled for October 8 to 14 and all property owners are asked to carefully check their fire hasarda and make plans for preventing fU-es. v.. vV "David S. Weaver, head of the Agricultural Engineering Depart ment at State College, urges farmers to. particularly watch foi the danger of fire in the barn. "Keep the lightning rods in re pair; replace the combustible wood shingled roofs with flre-retardant roofing; and by all means prevent smoking in and around the barn," Weaver says, : Electrical cords ' Bhould never be knotted or allowed to accumulate dust and cobwebs as a shortage may develops from the knot and ignite the cobweds. - Lanterns should ' be placed so that they cannot be. kicked over by men or animals. . v V Hay should be thoroughly cured before it is -stored in the barn and then it should be inspected, for heating.

An estimated 79 million eggs were produced in the state during the month of August as compar ed with 78 million in August of last year, according to Curtis Tarleton, state department of ag riculture statistician. August was the first month since April, Tarleton said, that ag gregate production exceeded that of the corresponding month last year. ;.- -' s:-v Total eggs produced in the state from January1 through August were 800 millions, the same num bers as were produced during the first eight months of 1943. -: ' , Tarleton eaid that total number of layers on North Carolina farms had been maintained at record lev. els throughout the year. Although U e -number of layers has been larger, the number of . eggs pro duced per hen has been smaller than a year ago for each month fronf November through July, he stated. ' . " ',.''-.,. ' Ia August the rate of lay was a fraction higher than a year ago. During the past : month ; North Carolina hens laid an average of 10.6 eggs each, compared with 10.5 epgs in August 1943. - The number of layers in North Carolina farm flocks totaled 7, 520,000 during' August of this year, compared with 7,390,009 on hund during the same month of 1943, Tarleton said.

ER 15th 1 944 PROSPECTS FOR TAR IIEEL FARMERS ARE BRIGHT THIS YEAR s Good Yields of Most . All Crops Indicated by SDA Forecasts An appraisal, of the farm situ ation as of the first of September shows that Tar Heel farmers have in prospect very-good-to-excellent crops of corn, peanuts, cotton and tobacco, and a fair crop of limy, Statistician G. D. Collons of the - State Department of Agri culture, said. Present indications, Collins said, are thnt North Carolina farmers will harvest lnrger-than-average corps of corn and hay this season, but the total volume of each crop will be less than last jcar. Corn production is now fore, cart at 50,353,000 bushels, or a yield of 21.5 bushels per acre on the 2,842,000 acres in corn culti vation. Last year's crop totaled 51,018,000 bushels, with a per- acre-yield of 22 bushels. Hay yields this year are ex pected to be about average, the statistician said. Jt is now esti mated that 1,153,000 tons of hay will be harvested from 1,382,000 acres the largest acreage ever devoted to this crop. Hay produc tion last year totaled 1,263,000 tons, which were harvested from 1,355,000 acres..;,'." Although supplies of feed pro duced this season promise to be large, there is little likelihood of a surplus, Collins said. The State's livestock and poultry population are at or very near, the highest levels in the history of the State. Farmers have carried large num bers of eattle, hogs, and chickens in recent years and the result is depleted stocks of feed. Collins said that most farmers would be glad to have even larger crops of feed grains and hays this season.' .. Weather and crop growing conv (litions during - lust month nre generally favorable, Collins said. Rainfall was irregular and often scattered, but for the most pari August was favorable' for . the growth and maturity of summer crops and for harvesting tobacvo. ' Collins said that "farmers are doing a good job of curing and selling tobacco and saving hay in spite of the fact that extra work ers are almost "as Scarce as hen's teeth." In the mountain counties, during the last of August tobac co growers wore beginning to put the burley 'crop in barns, while in the; east the marketing of flue cured tobacco was in full swing and large volume of this year's border crop had already been sold. An excellent peach crop market had already gone to market and commercial apple i growers were marketing the largest crop since mL'.'.y-'.'.vAl ,C'm;;i.V- TRANSFERRED SSgt' Lenwood Smith has no tified his mother, Mrs. Maggie Smith of Pink Hill that he has r tmrr furred from Iceland to i :. . TRUCK SHORTAGE ACUTE IN NATION Purchasing Rules 'Are Tightened Prospective purchasers of used trucks yesterday were urged by the Raleigh District office of De fense Transportation to make cer tain before acquiring the vehicles that their proposed operation meets all ODT requirements. Since October 25, 1943, Harvey E. Roseman ODT District man ager at Raleigh pointed out per sons who were not designated motor carriers' as of that date, have been required to show that the operation of the truck is nec essary to the war effort or to the maintenance of civilian economy. Application for a certificate qf wsr r.j te.-sity must he made and the CWN granted bcXore gasoline allotments are made, Mr. Rose man reminded, or, in the case of a new service, application for au thority lo inaugurate it must be made. These application blanks may 'be obtained from the ODT District Office in Raleigh, N. C. Critical shortages of trucks, tires and gasoline, the ODT offi cial pointed out, make it neces sary that only those operations deemed necessary to the war cf foit end essential civilian econo my be approved and authority to operate a truck should be obtain ed by a prospective purchaser be fore he actually buys it PRICE OF HOGS IS STABILIZED BY 0PA Ceiling Continues Until June 30, 1945 Government assurance was giv en Friday that there will be no reduction of ceiling prices for live hogs before June 80, 1945. At the same time, the office of price administration, and the war food administration said in a joint announcement that a previously announced decrease in support price also would be extended to the same 1945 date. The decrease effective October 1, is from $13.75 to S12.55 a hundred pounds on the representative class of good and choice 200 to 240-peund hogs at Chicago. The action was approved by Ec onomic Stabilization Director Fred M. Tinson. Present ceiling prices are $14.75 a hundredweight Chicago basis, for hogs weighing 240 pounds or less, and $14 for those weighing more than 240. WFA previously had announc ed the support price would be cut . to $12.50 on October 1 . for the ' period ending March 31, 1945. The i Friday announaement said it had been decided not only to go ahead with the scheduled reduction, but to extend it until June 30, 1945. ' The statement that there would be no reduction left the way open for any increase in ceiling prices the government might desire .to make before next June. - A WFA spokesman said the announcement was not the "final word" on support prices and did not preclude further action on a suggestion that wFA is reported to have made a $13.75 "eushion" with a $12.50 support price and a $14.75 ceiling. Under the cushion proposal, prices "paid by packers for good and choice hogs would have to average $13.75 and sub' sidy payments would be reduced to the extent that .the backers' av erage paying price fell belbw that amount The North Carolna ceiling is $14.65 for weights up to 240 lbs., and $13.80 for 241 pounds and up. Home-Grown PouHi Save Fcrmsrj Money - Turkey growera. in North Caro lina can easily firow their - own poults and save about $150,000 e year, which is sent out to Other slates, says Dr. C. H. Boitian geneticist ' for,;. that' experiiriein station at State college. Tests 'r.t thd station 'kive jlsown over the pnst years that it is very economical for producers to keep briedinj ilojks and hatch thuii birds. ', ; ' ': v ; Bostian suggests that breeders r.r- selected ' before any individu als in the flock are marketed so that the best ones can be kept for producing poults. The birds ought to be weighed and carefully hanj died to see that they have grown rapidly and that they have a de sirable conformation, free of t ab normalities. : " ' j: - The back of the turkey should be flat and about the same width throughout, according, to Bosian. Its legs should be of medium length and the keel straight par allel with the back, and almost as SAFETY STRESSED FOR CHILDREN ON WAY TO SCHOOLS Rules for Motorists and Parents Outlined to Prevent Accidents School days are here again thousands of children are walking along our roadways, and crossing streets. They're carefree and anx ious to reach school on time. The safety of these children is of ut most importance. Ronald Hocutt, director of the state highway safety division de clares that "The safeguarding of the children going to and from school is a responsibility of the school, the home and the com munity. '"This respoiuiiiility oan bo nvt iuovided each ol us are constant ly reminded that although the volume of traffic is much less to- . cy, the hazai d of careless dnv- irj; continufs to take its toll on orr highways," continued Mr. Ho ' cuH. I The following suggestions are recommended by the director to I ;.irents and teachers for the pro- ui.-uoii oi tne scnooi cniia peaes tiian: Select the safest route for chil dren in towns and cities to walk to and from school. Jmtruct children daily to cross streets 'only at intersections. Permit children to leave home in time to reach school on time, but not with time to piny along the streets or roads. In rural areas children should he instructed to walk on the LEFT SIDE of the roadway, and to al ways move out of the way of ap proaching cars. In cooperation with the local police department, special streets should be designated as school crossings. If possible, have this crossing guarded during certain hours of the day when children will be going or coming from school. The director of the safety di vision also urges motorists: Drive cautiously on approach ing school rones in both rural and city areas. Be on the alert for children who may be playing along or near the roadway. At all time keep in mind that the child along the road or street may suddenly run into the path of the oncoming car. The good driver assumwsthat every child playing on or near the street is about to dart in front of his car, and drives cautiously. 'Children can be trained to be good pedesrtians. However, it re quires the combined efforts of the school, the home and the commun. ity. Let all of us put forth the necessary efforts to protect the school children of our state from automobile accidents this school year," urged the director. BEULAVILLE BOY . GRADUATES IN FLORIDA Pvt.

CROPS August Was Good Month for Farmers August weather s favorabla for growth and maturity of Caro lina fruit crops and pecans, ac cording to G. D. Collins, agricul tural statistician. Commercial peach growers in the Sandhills area completed marketing an excellent peach crop early in August, and before the month ended harvesting had been finished in Western Piedmont or chards. Peach production this season is now placed at 2,698,000 bushels, compared with the 10-year aver age of 2,794,000 bushels. In the 1943 season, April cold almost wiped out the peach crop and pro duction amounted to only 252,000 bushels. This season's crop was threatened with the same mishap hut a fair set of fruit escaped, and favorite growing , weather, coupled with timely July rains in the -Sandhills gave peaches unus ual size and resulted in a total State production 80 per cent above average. Not all areas were so fortunate. Many orchards commercial and non-commercial produced very little or no fruit this season. The apple harvest started in commercial orchards of Hender son county in mid-August, and picking was in progress in other areas by the end of the month. Weather conditions during Au gust were most favorable for ma turity of the crop, which now is estimated at 1,623,000 bushels. Production in the commercial areas in 1943 is estimated to have been 499,000 bushels. The North Carolina pear crop is turning out better than - was expected earlier in the seasen. Production of 366,000 bushels this season compares with 88,000 bushels in 1943. A grape crop of about average sise is indicated with production - placed . at S.400 tens compared with 6,200 tons last year. August rains were beneficial to the pecan crop. Production .. is forecase nt 3,008,009 pounds on i'ne basis of conditions on Septem ber. A crop of 2,700,000 pounds was grown in 1943. Average pro duction for the 10-years (1983 4?) was 2,074,000. Farmers Are Lauded for Excellent Job North Carolina fanners, who started this year 74,000 workers short, have done an exceptional war job, Director I. 0. Schaub, of the State college extension ser vice, said this week. Schaub said growers began the year with 24,000 fewer workers than a. year previous, and planted crops that would require the labor cf 50,000 more workers than in 1943. "Farmers have worked longer hours than ever before, and have made better use of machinery. The work has not been finished, but we are over the hump. The job couldn't be done but we are doing it," he said. A serapbag made of mosquito netting, or any other open-mesh fabric, makes it possible to find the particular piece of material one may be looking for without emptying the entire contents of the bag. Those perfectly good preserves or jellies which somehow do accu mulate in the cupboard are splen did to use in gingerbread and spice cake. . . 1 ;
