Home Canning Is Best Answer To Food Crisis "If North Carolinians want to eat in 1948," says Dean I. O. Schaub, di rector of the State College Exten sion Service, "it is imperative for farm and urban families who have the land to grow a garden and prac tice home canning next year." He said that approximately one-half of the estimated 1943 commercial pack at canned vegetables, fruits and juices has been reserved for the Gov ernment. A recent War Production Board order specifies that all of the com mercially canned carrots, blueberries, figs, and blended orange and grape fruit Juice must be reserved for the armed forces and lend-lease ship ments. In addition, said Schaub, the Gov ernment will need 84 percent of all the beets, 71 percent of the tomato puree and fruit cocktail, 70 percent of the cherries and pineapple, 63 per cent of the peaches and apples, 61 percent Of the tomato catsup, 68 per cent of the snap beans, 66 percent of the lima bens, 49 percent of the to matoes, 48 percent of the spinach and peas, and 42 percent at the The new pn used by the para troops U a compact model with a pistol grip and a steel-frame stock which folds out of the way when not in use.

Fight ing forces. It is effective at ranges up to 2,000 yards and fires about 600 forty-five caliber bullets per minute. One at these guns costs about $1,500, white a thirty-caliber ma chine gun costs approximately $600. Our fighting forces need thousands of these rapid-fire guns. Even a small town or community can buy many of them by uniting in the pur chase of .War Bonds. At least ten percent of your income in War Bonds every pay day will do the trick. y, I.

It is the greatest builder of body resist ance to disease of til foods. The need for It in this State during IMS wilhto greater than in IMS., The supply, on the other hand, will be goveitoed by the price received for it by the farmer. An unfavorable price will make it impossible for him to pay present h}gh jjriS^tor labor and feed.

The War Manpower Commission ex pects that some 7,900,000 persons will be employed in year-round farm work, and additional millions will be needed seasonally in the various agri cultural areas. In December, 1942, farm hired labor shewed a decided drop over the same time two yean ago. A large part of the lose was due to enlistment In the. armed forces, the not to the attractions offered by war industries. The deficit in farm labor must be met by keeping labor on farms and by enlisting the services of an army of volunteers throughout the country to help harvest the 1948 crop. ';v ^ H Additional labor, too. Is needed to meet our lumber production atal of 1948, set at 82 btiUen board feet. While our civilian lumber require ments will be about 40 par cent lets than for 1M2, troll need far more lumber for aircraft, «' ip deck.ng, pontoon construction, ship and boat timber, and structural timbers. •Seal Ups — Sate Ships' No one can reckon what ships, or how many Jhave been torpedoed through chance, remarks of relatives or friends of sailors and othero, or what vital information about our war production, was equipment or other confidential matters has leaked through to. the Axis through careless , gossip. A safe rule, applicable to all such matters, is expressed in the saying, "Seal Lips—Save Ships." Fruit and vegetable' growers and shippers are urged to stock up on used wooden boxes, crates, baskets, barrels and hampers for 1948 cnope, and cotton growers should save and recondition old cotton bale ties . . .
