FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: What is a good material
to use as litter in the poultry
laying house?
ANSWER: A good litter must
keep the floors both warm and dry
during the winter months. Materials
found best for this purpose have
been shavings, dry sawdust, chopped
hay or straw, and shredded cane.
In a limited number of cases, ground
corn cobs have also been found a
good Material Each mentioned will
absorb moisture and warm the floor.
QUESTION: What are some of
the best woods for smoking beef?
ANSWER: Hickory and oak, although
practicajly all of the nanresinoue
woods are satisfactory, particularly
the hardwoods. Dried beef
should be smoked TO to 100 hours at
a temperature of 125 to 150 degrees
Fahrenheit. After smoking, the
dried beef may be wrapped in heavy
paper and then slipped into a heavily
starched flour sack and hung tip in a
well-ventilated room. -
QUESTION: How should weather-damaged
cotton be handled ?
ANSWER: , In the first place,
growers should not attempt to harvest
cotton that has been beaten out
on the ground, sprouted, and begun
to root. The important thing, however,
is to take cotton to the gin as
dry as possible. Also, if possible,
the cotton should have the cleaning
effect of four beater rolls to remove
sand and soil stain. Seed from
storm-damaged cotton should be kept
separate from the better grades.

Says Convenient
Markets Promote '
Better Farming
a' convenient market outlet for
most of the products gtown an Union
County farms is the happy culmination
of almost 35 years of constructive
work as a farm agent in his
native county by T. J. W. Broom, one
of the great agricultural leaders of
North Carolina.
Tom Broom began work as a county
agent in Union County on December
1, 1907. On December 1, 1942,
he will have served his people for
35 years and during that time he
has brought about a greet agricultural
revolution in methods of soil
building largely through the use of
lespedeza. Mr. Broom decided first
that the soils at the county, impoverished
through years of cotton
and corn farming, must be improved
and, to this «kI* he sought for foolproof
methods and practices. He
introduced lespedeza until now it is
a cash crop through the sale of seeds.
Two large firms buy or reclean the
seed and offer a ready and dependable
market.
Nearly every farmer grows purebred
seed grain and the planting of
cereal mixtures for hay and grazing
also was introduced by Mr.
Broom as a next step. A large mill
now buys all the surplus grain that
can be grown in the county and will
mix, on order, any grain ration, for
poultry, cow or hog according to
formulas worked out by experts of
the North Carolina State College.
Seven milk routes traverse the
county to gather surplus milk from
cows which have followed the sod,
pasture ar.d grazing crops now being
grown on the improved soils. A
recently established poultry killing
and dressing plant connected with a
freezer locker establishment will
take care of all the surplus poultry
and eggs produced in the county to
complete the list of markets needed.
There is, at Monroe, a large cotton
warehouse to handle Union's basic
crop and the town has become known
-as one of the best cotton markets in
the State. All this just didn't hap«■»———

and heavy truck duty, bat such tires
will be allotted for essential civilian1
driving only. "Sometime after mid-j
1943, we ought to have enough synthetic
tiree to make an appreciable
difference In the situation regarding
essential driving. Sometime In 1944,
wo ought han enough to begin to
furnish tires to civilians for family
use," he said. Special gaaoline rations
will be available for motorists
whs are away from-home when nari
timwide mileage rationing begins, I
and special allowances will be made1
for motorists whs must move their
cars "in the event of a bona fids
change of residence," but not for
moves from summer to winter hom'JS.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
said meat consumption of 2% pounds
a week per person would mean considerably
less insat for persons "who
have always had comfortable^ incomes"
and mora meat "for people
whose purchasing power has increased
only recently."
Manpower and Production.
State administrators we reclassifying
workers en WPA rolls with a
view to expediting the program of
putting qualified workers into war
industry and farm jobs. The order
will apply also to all those waiting
assignment to WPA. 4,000 experienced
miners of copper and other
vitally needed metals are receiving
army furloughs to relieve a labor
shortage in that category. The men,
who are being furloughed to the
mines as civilians and who leave the
army on a voluntary basis, will be
called back, to active duty if they
leave their jobs at the mines or if
the need for them is eliminated, he
said. War Secretary Stimwm said
the Army is studying a plan to return
older Soldier* to civilian life.
The current scrap drive has achieved
"amazing results" and has raised
steel production to 100 per cent,
WPB Chairman Nelson reported. An
order was issued by the WPB v requiring
more than <00 municipalities
to use their regular trash collection
equipment to collect and segregate
scrap cans as part of a campaign to
recover 1,000,000 tone of steel and
10,000 tons of pure tin from tin cans.
The Boand announced "hosiery that
can be repaired or mended for further
use is not being asked for by
the government. OKdy after hosiery
is discarded as being completely unusable
should it be placed aside for
salvage purposes."

The 1942 harvest of bread grains
in Continental Europe probably will
be considerably below average* and
below the sub-normal crop of last

The WPB has approved a program
