Raleigh, Nov. 19.—An argent appeal for,qualified woman, to train
themselves for lucrative job* in war production industries was issued
today by Director Edntvd W. Ruggles of the College Extension Division
in announcing a now aeries of training course starting at the
college January 18. All expenses except the studetrf subsistence are
paid by the Federal Government. The photo shows three women at
work in a war plant after finishing the course in malar! sis testing and
inspection. Other courses open to women include aircraft inspection,
chemical testing and inspection, fabric testing land inspection, engineering
drawing and architectural and marina dijafting. Several hundred
women have been trained at State College for vital war work and have
gone to jobs paying as "high as $1,800 yearly to start. High school
graduation is required. A bulletin describing the courses may be
secured from Director Ruggles. War industries are mating a tremendous
demand for women skilled in the designated courses.
Coutinue 4-H Baby
Beef Work On
Practical Basis
Increased production of food cr*pe,
especially meats and meat products,
has been asked by the Government
in 1943. "Therefore," says L. I.
Case, Extension animal husbandman
of N. C. State College, "the 4-H
Baby Beef Club work should not only
be continued, but should be extended
into more counties with more farm
boys and girls taking part."
The only difference in the program
will be that steers must be fattened
on a practical basis so that, if necessary,
they may be sold at market
prices without a loss of money, Case
said. Exhibitions of all livestock
may be out of the picture for 1948
and for the duration of the war.
This will at least curtail the paying
of premium prices for 4-H calvess.
"Also," said the Extension worker"
"we now have ceiling on animal
carcasses and on retail cuts with the
possibility that ceilings will be placed
on live animals in the near future.
Meat rationing is in immediate prospect
amd will probably limit the purchasing
of cattle for individual family
consumption.,'
This means, the animal husbandman
declared, that leas emphasis
should be placed on show zing standards.
Furthermore, it means that
more home-bred animals should be
fed by boys and girls. Where it is
necessary to acquire steers, they
should be purchased at commercial
feeder calf prices, and just as near
to home as possible in order to avoid
excessive transportation costs.
"Feeding should be on a more
practical basis than ever before," he
said. "It is exfremely important
that home-growb feeds be used ex
clusively with the exception of a
protein concentrate for balancing the
ration." r
Certain Types of Lime
Injurious To Poultry
A warning to farmers that certain
types of lime and liming materials
are unsuitable for poultry work is
issued by C. F. Parriah, head of the
Extension poultry office at N. G.
State College. xHe says, "there is
misconception on the part of some
farmers as to lime and liming materials,
and how to use them in relation
to poultry wort"
Lump lime, burned lime, builders
lime, and caustic lime are all unsuitable,
Parriah said. These are all
calmium oxide. The same applies to
hydrated lime, water slacked lime,
and agricultural lime, which are prepared
by adding water to the foor
types first named.
"This material," said the Extension
leader, "is caustic and, if used
on floors or runs, may cause injury
to the bird's feet. When used with
poultry manure, the loss of nitrogen
in the manure will result."
The most commonly used types of
lime in poultry work, ail of which
are useful, are: . Ground limstone,
agricultural limestone (not to be confused
with agricultural lime), air
slaked lime, precipitated lime,
ground oyster shells, and mart
Also recommended, in the order
named, are: Basic furnace slag, Gypsum
or landplaster, and wood ashes.
These limes are often added to chicken
manure, by poultrymen with the
thought in mind of conserving nitro
gear. However, says Paffish, *
would be preferable to aid superphosphate
at the rate of 2 pounds
per day to the manure produced by
each 100 hens.
