QUESTION: Will nitrogen be avaflahlaior fall-sown grains? ANSWER: The Government, Because of the importance of nitrogen in the manufacture of mumtkne, has found it necessary to curtail the QM of this material in fertilisers. Therefore, it has ruled that, no mixed fertiliser containing chemical nitrogen can be sold for use at planting on fall sown small grains in 1942 to he harvested for grain. The order also prohibits the dale of such fertiliser for use on lawns, golf courses, parka, cemeteries, roadsides, or non-commercial plantings of trees, shrubs, and flowaiK"' ' J QUESTION: What is the reason for a muscadine grape vine failing to bear? ANSWER: Chances are, says James G. Weaver, horticulturist, that a male vine is needed, since most varieties of muscadines are not capable of pollinating themselves. By setting in a male plant or one of the specially selected varieties that cas produce the necessary pollen, the trouble will probably be overcome. Home Dairy Mixtures Essential This Year There are two fundamental reasons why North Carolina farmers should use simple home-produced dairy mixtures this year, according to John A. Arey, dairy Extenson specalist of N. C. State College. First, he aujs, a home-p.oduced mixture is more economical because it carries fewer transportation and commission charges. Second,' the use of sftch mixtures would save badly needed transportation space for important War materials. The State College dairyman said the 1942 feed crop in North Carolina will rank as one of the largest in history. This will be true especially of high protein feeds such as soybean and peanut.meal. Except in certain areas, the corn crop will also be larger than usual. These feeds can be made the basis for many different simple grain mixtures, any of which will give good results when fed together with an ample supply of quality roughage. Arey suggests the following hofne mixtures: Eighteen percent protein and. 4 percent fat: 400 pounds of corn and cob meal, 300 pounds of cottonseed meal, 200 pounds of oats, and 100 pounds of wheat bran. Nineteen percent protein and 4 percent fat: 500 pound* of corn and cob meal, 100 pounds of peanut meal, and 200 pounds of cottonseed meal. Eighteen percent protein and 3-5 percent fat: 200 pounds of com and cob meal, 100 pounds of soybean meal, and 100 pounds of ground barley. - Nineteen percent protein and 4 percent fat; 800 pounds of corn and cob meal, 200 pounds jrf ground barley, and 200 pounds of peanut meaL In these mixtures, bailey can fee substituted for corn on a pound for pound basis, and peanut, soybean, and cottonseed meal are interchangeable .pound ft Subscribe To - . 1 Fall Pigs Need To Be | Vaccinated for Cholera Pork is an essential war food, and North Carolina is one of the major pork-producing States of thf East Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterinarian of the Agricultural Experiment Station at N. C. State College, makes an argent plea to all swine growers to protect their fall pig crop "from dinrnfiftff "North Carolina is near the big Eastern centers of pork consumption)" said Dr. Grinnells. "We an also close to some of the important packing plants from which meat is shipped to our soldiers and alliesoverseas. Therefore, we have a patriotic duty to supply as much pork as possible, especially it view of the. transportation shortages and the need to conserve shipping space from the* Mid-west to the Atlantic sea: board." ' - - The veterinarian warns fanners especially to guard against losses from cholera in their swine herds. This is one of the deadliest pig diseases. PigB should be vaccinated against cholera, particularly «o if there should be an outbreak of the disease in the neighborhood. To this warning Dr. Griimell* added: "Be sure that the pigs are in proper' condition before vaccination, and see that they are adequately eared for during the poet-vaccination period. "Last spring's pig crop suffered some losses due to these two factors. Pigs should be examined before vaccination to make sure that iwie of them are suffering from other swine diseases—such as pneumonia, worm infestation, or enteritis. From the fifth to the 15th day after vaccination, the following precaution* should be observed: ."Pigs should be kept away from muddy lots and wallows. Rations Should not be changed radically, but the total amount of feed should be reduced and too much corn should be avoided. Pigs srould have access to plenty of clean drinking water." Pitt H*xnSd*>oU In are showing their metal on the home front while America's brave boys an giving the enemy a baptism of fire on tyie far-flung battle fronts. The farmville Negro school, alone, hat collected more than ten thousand pounds of scrap metal to help the boys along. We are told that other schools are doing proportionally as well. .' Our'American motto is "All hang together." This motto is being well demonstrated in the Negro schools of Pitt County, under the jtpt and wise leadership of Superintendent D. H. Conley. Many citizens of the con^ quered countries have hanged separately because they did not hang together. . ; ; The Pit scrapping and To jo schools are r, Mussolini main. They The motto of the enemy is "Dtviaa and conquer." This worked effectively in some of the European coontries but it will not work in America.

Army and Selective Service. -The War Department opened an intensified campaign to recruit 18 to T9-year-o!d volunteers for the Army. They may now volunteer for tfce Quartermaster Corps, Ordnance Department, Chemical Warfare Service, Medical Department and the Corps of Military Police, in addition to the previous choices. The War Department said approximately 270,000 checks totaling *19,600,000 in family allowance payments are being mailed to some 406,000 relatives and dependents of soldier* October 1-10, including 135^68 first payments.
