*^?TURMSGTTO WAR ?iMgc ? ?? it/ I ?! II I > I >111 . Not Turning Out Tanks, Engines and Planes Yet, But Making Some Progress. Detroit?The automotive industry is not whipping tanks, airplanes and airplane engines off assembly lines as fast as some had expected, a sur vey of the national defense produc tion situation here disclosed. Although trucks and smaller im plements for defense have been rolled out in regular mass produc tion style, larger units unfamiliar to the automotive industry are requir ing whole new factory layouts, in ad dition, some of the contracts have not been completed. Chief contract hold-up has been with the Packard Motor Car Com pany where both the war depart ment and Great Britain still are dickering on 3,000 and 6,000 airplane engine orders, respectively. A month and a half have passed since the dual production plan was announced but contracts have not been signed. Packard President M. M. Gilman said production could start 10 months after the contracts were signed. Chrysler corporation will take ap proximately 13 months to construct a ^20,000,000 tank plant, install new machinery and swing into production on a $33,500,000 order. The Ford Motor Company, it was learned, will not get the first new Pratt and Whitney "double wasp" airplane engine out of its vast river Kouge plant until 1941. Ford has an order for 4,000 of the big 18-cylinder jobs, but the contract, as in Packard's case, has not been closed. Despite the seeming slowness of this city of mass production to turn out' war goods, there is little time being wased. The symbol of the conveyor line means months of care ful planning on assembly layouts, waiting for new tools and machines to be made, installation of the ma chines in their proper position so that materials can flow into the assembly line at the right time and at the right place. Couple these preparations with the fact that an airplane engine, with its weight cut to the bone, is harder to make than an automobile engine, and you have an answer to the delay. When Henry Ford said lie could build 1,000 airplanes daily, he was not boasting. However, he had for ? nearly two years been in the pro cess of developing an engine and obviously had a good start. In addition to making engines for the army, Ford intends to put an airplane of his own design into pro duction as soon as final plans are ready. He has not disclosed what type of plane it will be but it has been reported it will be a twin-engin ed ship similar to the Lockheed P-38 pursuit ship, one of the fastest army planes in the world. This also may be available for the army. Packard is doing all preliminary drafting and planning up to actual ordering of machines and supplies for its huge order. "We're going ahead on it as if we already Ijpd tffe contract," a spokesman saicL Engi neers from England are at the Pack ard plant modifying the design of the Rolls Royace motor to suit their specifications. A 112-acre site for the Chrysler tank factory has been selected in the northeast portion of metropolitan Detroit and ground is to be broken soon. Officials refuse to comment on details of the tanks, but it was learned they would be powered with Continental 5-cylinder radial air-cool ed engines. Other Detroit factories preparing to supply planes or plane parts to the Army are two auto-body manu . facturing companies ? Biggs and Murray. Briggs will make wings as semblies and Murray certain sub assemblies. v General motor corporation is test ing a radically-designed 176-horse power aircraft engine of radial, 4 cylinder design and also may eventu ally enter the scene. May Send Cigarettes To War Prisoners Washington, D.

' 1 ? ? t V QUESTION: When is the best time to seed winttr legumes and small grains as temporary pastures for winter and spring grazing? ANSWER: The sooner these tem porary grazing crops are seeded after September 10 the better, except in the extreme Eastern section of the State, where seeding may be delayed 10 days, especially if rye is to be used. However, they may be seeded any time daring September and dur ing the early part of October. John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist of State College, recommends Italian rye grass and crimson clover for these temporary pastures. QUESTION: What is tobacco mosaic and how can it be controlled? ANSWER: Don E. Ellis, Exten sion plant pathologist of State Col lege says that tobacco moisaic is a highly infections disease, sometimes called Walloon or Calico. It is able to live over in practically all types of natural or manufactured leaf tobacco. < Sanitary measures, including the avoiding of handling undiseased plants after handling diseased plants, is the best system of control. Ellis says that all plants- showing symp toms of-mosaic in the field should be destroyed, but care should be taken not to handle healthy plants after palling the diseased ones, r Ellis also says that the plant bed is the first and one of the most important sour ces of infestation, and he strongly urges that no tobacco trash of any kind be applied to the plant bed, and that seed be used which are free from chaff which might carry the disease. QUESTION: When should hay crops ke cut? ANSWER: Agronomist of N. C. State College say that most of the hay made in North Carolina is too pearly mature when harvested. They recommend that soybeans be cut for hay as soop. as the pods begin to form; that cowpees be cut when the pods are half grown; and that les pedeza be cut when in early bloom, or when 12 inches high,- whichever occurs first. There is an idea pre valent among farmers that good hay must contain lots of "grain." When the farmer waits for the grain to develop, they usually lose more nutri ents from the stems and leaves than they gain from the seeds. Lime Should Precede Seeding* Of Legumes The best time to apply ground limestone is from three months to one year before seeding legumes. That is the advice that Western North Carolina farm agents are giving growers, and E. C. Blair, State Col lege Extension agronimist, says it is good advice for all parts of the State. Blair said that C. Y. Tilson, Bun combe County farm agent recently prepared recommendations for cor recting soil acjdity in ? the mountain area, as follows: "If lime is applied from three months to one year be fore seeding legumes, it gives the lime sufficient time to contact acid in the soil particles and counteract it "The application of lime to culti vated land should be made after plowing, and the material should be mixed with the topeoiL Little bene fit may be expected if lime is plowed I under before being properly mixed with the topsoiL On pastures it is only necessary to scatter the lime on I top of the sod; however, better re sults will be obtained if it can be worked in by light harrowing. For most soils in the mountain area, the following amounts of limo are needed for various crops: Alfalfa, 3 to 4 tons per acre; red clover, 2 to 3 tons per acre; pasture, 1% to 2% tons pefr acre; apd general crops, 1% to 2 tons p?r acre. "The appearance of broom sedge, sheep sorreD, running briars, plan tains, and moss in and around the edge of fields is a good sign that the land needs lime. The use of lime, Plus phosphate, applied to broom sedge pastures has resulted in blue grant and white Dutch clover grad ually taking hold. The lime and JMjNa restore the soil fertility where there ia broom sedge to tiie extent thai the sedge is made palat able and grazed off or crowded out by blue grass, and not killed by lime as is sometime* thought" - u ????<??? , ?
