: STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS paeeent cotton art cotton—except in staple varieties—can be classed as ra surplus crop. In previous years, he declared, when there haye been no price supporting loans, supplies of present proportions have resulted in falling prices. Citing the increase in number of polling places this year to conserve transportation facilities, he urged all eligible producers to vote in the referendum Saturday, December 12. Any person who produced cotton in 1942 M a landlord, tenant, or sharecropper is eligible to vote. QUESTION: How can skipper indentation of stored meat be controlled? ANSWER: The best method for keeping skippers out of meat, says Prof. O. E. Brady, meat research specialist of the State College Experiment Station, is to keep flies from coming in contact with the meat while the meat is being handled. A dark, cool, well-ventilated ty-proof smoke house is a great help in this respect Occasional smoking of the meat during summer storage will also be helpful. Anpthed method is to wrap the meat in paper and muslin and hang in the smoke housse. QUESTION: Why do dairy cows sometime eat dirt, and chew wood and bones? , ANSWER: This, says jWm A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist of State College, usually i*-a sign that the dairy ration at the cow is deficient in mineral matter. In such cases the ration should be examined to determine f it contains feeds which are high in minerals desired. If not, they should be added. It will do no harm to allow the cows and young cattle free access to a simple mhfcsral mixture composed of one part salt snd four parts steamed bone meal. QUESTION: How can cattle grubs, commonly called "warbles" or "wolves," be controlled in the livestock herd? ANSWER: J. Myron Maxwell, Extension entomologist of State College{ says that these pests are the young stage at the heel fly. They usually appear on the backs of cattle about this tame at the year and which will be worked out in detail daring the winter and launched as soon aa spring planting begins. The plan provideu for the transportation of Mobile groups of experienced farm workers, the taamfer of experienced operators and workers from substandard lands to productive anas, the adjut-ment at farm wages in relation to industrial wages, and a farr labor training, and management program. Because of the "wide disparity" between salaries and wages paid agricultural labor and those paid industrial labor, OfeS Director Byrnes gave to the Senate Legislation directing that farm wagea be included fa calculations of parity prices for farm products, defining wages as these not airly of hired hands, but of operators and owners as well. A new system of rationing known as the "point system," will be used with war ration book No. 2 to ration certain commodities not yet announced. The system.will not replace straight coupon rationing of sugar, gasoline and coffee, as it will be used only for groups of related or similar commodities which can be interchangeably used. Each commodity is plentiful, a high pointvalue if it is scarce—and the government, to protect the supply of scarce commodities, can lower or raise the point-value of any commodity at any time. Farm Buildings Must Be Preserved—Paint Helps Money spent on. the maintenance of farm buiMings in peace time pays high dividends, sayB D. S. Weaver, Extension agricultural engineer of N. C. State College. In war time, he says, the scarcity of materials for new buildings, and even for repairs, makes maintenance vital to insure continued use of the ^diUUng. Perhaps the most needed protection for existing farm buildings in North Carolina is paint, says Wearer. The life of a buildiing is increased by 30 pdrcent or more if it is kept in good condition to withstand exposure to tiie weather. "The durability of paints depends to a great extent upon the quality of the product," the agricultural engineer asserted. "All good paint consists of an oil mixed with powder, known as a pigment. The quality j these two ingredients, together the method of mixing, determines the desirability of the paint. "All paint manufacturers who make reliable products put on the label of the can the amount of each kind of pigment and liquid used," J to stress grazing crops for the coming year." n*e State College worker also recommends the elimination of direct drafts, damp floors and wet litter in the poultry house at this season. Good ventilation is necessary, he stated, but the poultry house ventilators on the north, west and east sides of the house should be closed. The spaces between the rafters on the sooth side of the house should be^-hfcft open, as well as the open front of Jhe house, which should face the south. Dry planer shavings, apiewl over the floor to a. depth of S or 4 inches, make the beat li&er, Prof. Darstyne advised. Sawdust also may be used for laying house litter. Crushed corn cobs are likewise suitable for this purpose. fiv* thousand at these firms arc codverting at least 10 percent of gross payrolls Into War Bonds every payday. -Associate Field Director Kngelaman says that women have contributed directly and indirectly toward this record. When a man devoted 16 or more percent of his pay envelope to War Bonds, the woman at home has had a powerful voice in the decision. Her planning, her economies and her cheerfulness play their part in the miccees of payroll savings. The Treasury Department Is counting upon this woman influence ha lts current campaign to "top that 10 percent by New Year's." By the first of the year the Treasury, hopes to enroll at least >,060,000 women workers in a pay Fight Too' PECANS Pecan growers will get not less than 75 percent of parity prices for 1942 orchard run nuts under the Commodity Credit Corporation loan and purchase program.

I Cold Months Demand Extra Tractor Care November frosts should remind farmers to take the steps necessary to protect their tractors or engineequipped machines from" damage due to freezing, says J. D. BUckle, agricultural engineering specalist of the N. C. State College Extension Service. A little prevention maintenance will, guard against cracked cylinder heads and blocks, bunted radiators, burned-out bearings, and l other damage likely t*.)<^scur 'in cold weather. During the winter months, the whole coojing system of the tractor or engine should be drained if not in actual use, or a good anti-freexe solution placed in the radiator. One of the surest ways to prevent execessive wear and damage is to use the engine and transmission oil recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment for the lowest temperatures expected. Then, too, Bliokle explained, the oil should be changed oftener in the winter than in .the summer because the condensation of moisture, oil dilution, and the collection of sludge In the engine crankease are increased great1? during eold weather operations. The oil should be drained while the engine is still hot The State College specialist also reminded fiarmers that it is a good practice to warm the engine up to operating temperature before putting it to work. \ \ The battery has tn extra load during cold weather, so it should be kept fully charged at all times and the solution in each cell maintained at the proper level. A battery in which the charge is weak will frees®. "Stepping: up" the generator may be necessary to keep the battery fully charged. . %; % ; Y,.
