STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: Is it possible to raise beef cattle cheaper in Eastern North Carolina than in the mountains ? ■ ANSWER; Under certain conditions, it is. L. I. Case, Extension animal husbandman, says throughout the eastern part of the State where grazing reeds are available, it ifl probably possible to produce cattle cheaper than almost any other section of the United States. Much of the land along creeks in the Coastal Plain will grow grass splendidly if given a chance. This kind of land, although unfit for crops, is the best pasture land on the farm. Tremendous acre yields 'of hay also can be produced in Eastern Carolina. QUESTION: How may smooth, well-shaped sweet potatoes be grown? . v ANSWER; In the first place, says H. R. Niswonger, Extension horticulturists, don't use stable or poultry manure. Instead, use a 3-8-6 or a 3-8-8 fertiliser mixture. Apply in a drill and thoroughly mix with the seal. Then prepare a high ridge and space the plants 12 inches — -i— " *i£ti! - "H* a%" < ssri.su (inn 'Mfttn UflUM nut in.oot.teo ■tap of the nmrnttf shows the War > by states for the month at Jane totalling & Everybody every pay day is expected to Invest at least tea par cent of Us income in War Baada to aid in America's offensive against the Axis powers.

Heavy soils, dark soils, and rich garden soils produce poor quality potatoes that are subject to cracking and diseases. QUESTION: When is drying fruits and vegetables recommended? ANSWER: Drying is recommended when there is a large quantity or furplus. These dried foods may be used to supplement canned and stored foods. Although the supply of cans and jars is not yet acute, the future may see a real need for drying fruits and vegetables to meet home needs. Extension Circular No. 232, "Drying Fruits and Vegetables," will soon be available on request to the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh. Wood Will Take Place Of Coal And (Ml As Fuel in view of the present transportation shortage, the Government is j suggesting that farmers and people in small towns uae wood as fufcl in-i stead of coal and oil, where feasible. R. W. Graeber, Extension forester, of N. C. State Clloege, says that the use of wood fuel has great possibilities in North Carolina for the heating of homes, curing tobacco, heating schools and in smaller industries where equipment C*n be readily, changed from coal-burning to woodburning. The forester said a ton of dry woodis equal in heat units to about a half ton of soft coal. Different kinds of wood vary in weight from .about 1V4 to m6re than 2 tons per cord. I "The maximum beating results are ] secured from well-seasoned or thoroughly air-dried wood," Greaber said. "Such wood will then contain about J5 to 20 percent moisture by total' weight. Fuel wood requires from six months to * year to season property. If it is intended for next winter's consumptufti, the woodf should be cut not later than this summer." The Extension worker said that farmers, in providing themselves with fuel for their winter use, can place their woodlands in good growing condition at the. same time. "Utilize the poorer species," he suggested; "the dead, crooked, defective and heavy-limbed trees not suitahle for commercial use. This thinningout process will give the good trees a better chance to grow into sawtimber size." Farmers who have stacks of wood alongside the road Should find a ready market for surplus fuel, "and this is one time that surpluses will mean extra profit for the farmer," Graeber dedlared. ft TRIEP16TALE Miss Beet Beamy who formerly resided at the home of Floyd Best in Greene County moved to Farmville about the first of May and has been residing at 110 West Wilson Street. Miss Best is truly a lady of very high standing being a direct decendant of the justly famous Hampshire, Poland China family who have long been prominent in the packing business. Miss Best being a lady of very decided views and wanting to do all she CQuld to- help win the war decided that it was her patriotic duty to raise a family, so die went a courting and. married one of the Hamshire boys. To this union was born eleven] fine boys and girls. _ Two of them died in infancy and one was killed in an accident. I The eight living brothers and sister are now doing fine with their mother who {p one of the happiest mothers you ever saw-but every now and then you can see her give her children that kind loving motheriy look with a sadness in. her expression because she knows that the day is drawing near when she will soon have to tell them all goodbye and turn them over to some one else to help them make a place fci th4 world for themselves. One of the boys being a little smarter than the others has already gotten a plaice on another farm and two of the girls are going to another farm nearby. Unless the other five soon And themselves a home they will in all probability enter the packing business in about four months. Miss Best en meetly requests that you call on her and her family before she breaks up* housekeeping and goes back to her home on the farm. Miss Best is the fine mother hog who has been on display at THE DAVIS SUPPLY CO.'s Store. She is just simply wild about that fine tasty PURINA SOW and PIG CHOW that the boys have been serving her with her corn.—(Adv.) v-——'— No sugar tn the brtvl,. no tea in the glass, no coffee in the pot, no tires on tfie rim, no gas in the tank, no money in the bank.
