QUESTION: How should eggs to
stored?
ANSWER: They should be stored
in a cool, fairly moist, well-ventilated
place. Moisture is just as necessary
as keeping them cool. Both make
for retaining good quality. Pot them
on a concrete floor, which has been
sprinkled, if possible. The best tem
peratures for keeping eggs are be
tween 40 and 60 degrees.
Fanners Get Higher
Ratings For Lumber
Higher priority ratings for soft
v wood Imnber required for essential
agricultural uses are provided in an
amendment to the softwood lumber
conservation order, according to G.
T. Scott, chairman of the State
USD A War Board.
Under the new ruling, fanners are
provided with an AA-3 priority rat
ing fat lumber used in maintenance
and requiring of farm buildings,
other than dwellings. An A A-4
rating is provided, for most other
* agricultural usee, such as construct
ing shelters, barns, pens, sheds for
livestock and poultry, and other es
sential buildings. _ . >r
"Automatic preference ratings are
not provided for new softwood lum
ber to be used for such agricultural
purposes as construction of new
dwellings,- garages, machine
repfir shops and similar boildinjrs,"
Scott said. "The softwood lumber
conservation order, however, does net
affect the use at home-sawed, used,
or hardwood lumber for any purpose,
' unlms otherwise restricted. Regard
less of the type of lumber used, pres
ent conservation orders prohibit con
struction of sgrieuitursl dwellings
costing |200 or mors and other, agri
cultural buildings costing 11,000 or
more, without prior approval of the
War Production Bead."
He said the amendment makes it
compulsory for dealers to fill pur
chase orders carrying a preference
rating if they have the material on
hand and do not have eiders pending
with higher priority ratings.

Growers Offered j
New PiiMoii
On Peanuts
A nor pablteatian entitled "Pro
ducing Peanuts Per Oil" has Just
been issued by the Extension Ser
vice of N. C. State College. Growers
may obtain a free copy by addrees
mg a postcard to the Agricultural
Editor of the College at Kalsigfc.
The bulletin di»«useoa "Proper Soil
Selection," •"Choosing a Variety,"
"Seed Treatment," "Fertilisation,"
sad many other factors twrtyid in
successfully growing the crop. Far
mers who are planting peanuts for
the first time. as.*, part of their war
effort, should by all means get a
copy of this publication and study
the many practical suggestions found
in it. Other growers, who hare been
producing the ersp for many years,
will find it interesting and instruc
tive.
The national farm program is call
ing for a large increase in the pea
nut acreage, since oil-bearing nuts
are. so sorely needed to replace the
imports which have been cut off by
the war. Thousands of "new" grow
ers are patting in peanuts and "old"
growers are expanding their acreage
to help in the war effort.
"What are the lime requirements
of the crop?" "Should Peanuts be
Inoculated?" "What Cultural Meth
ods Have Proved Beet?" These and
many other questions are fully an
swered in the pew publication!
Dr. E. R. Collins, in charge of
AgronwhyT; Ertenafon at State Col
lege, compiled the mformatjjn jn co
operation with other agronomists of
the Extension Service and the N. C.
Experiment Station. He points out
that it is imperative that the crop
be produced with the most efficient
use of land, fertilizer and labor, at
all times keeping in mind the main
tenance of soil fertility for other

Rural Women Will
Pledge More
"Food For Freedom"
.
Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, assistant
home detqofiltration agent at N. C.
State Collect, has announced that all
rural women in ^North ^Carolina will
be given the opportunity of signing
a pledge in the "Food For Freedom"
campaign, which will be held during
March.
Presidents of the home demonstrar
tion clubs, county federation presi
dents, district chairmen, members of
the executive boards, and home dem
onstration agents are all taking a
part in the drive. Home demonstra
tion club women, with the assistance
of neighborhood leaders, will visit
every family in their districts and
explain the food situation.
Mrs. Smith said that "Live-at
Home" is not just a popular slogan
but is an idea which should receive
the serious consideration of every
farm' family throughout the|| State.
Plenty at fresh fruits' sad vegetables
during season and enough home-can
ned products for the remainder of the
y^ar, will relieve the strain on ra
tioned foods, and guarantee an ade
quate supply of. commercially canned
products tot, the armed forces and
the Allies. ■ -'

Fun Until of U. S.
Looks to Tomorrow
'"TOMORROW'S farmers and Ifarm
x hometnakers are second to no
school group in their enthusiasm
for investing In War Bonds and
Stamps to make sure their future
is secure. Through the Schools At
War program they are investing
what they save and earn in War
Stamps and Bonds.
First evidence of this. Is the
amount the 4-H Club hoys and girls
and the FFA boys invested in war
savings in 1942 from "Victory Pig"
and other projects. A million and a
half 4-H Club members put $6,000,
000 of their own savings in War
Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500,
000 worth <4 War Savings to their
neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil
lion members of Future Farmers of
America invested more than $1,
500,000.
Spurred by tht realization that
the financial welfare of farm fami
lies the next SO years depends on
how wisely they use today1* higher
incomes from increased food and
other wartime production, both
groups have set their goals still
higher for IMS.
These farm youths are building
financial reserves," and urging their
parents to do the same, for after
the-war necessities, to meet finan- -
cial emergencies and to help them J

They're building reserves today
for tomorrow's farm buildings and
for the Jther things they will need
when they're tomorrow's farmers
and homemakers.
each member of their families for
the year. As a result, the Victory
Garden will be a No. 1 project on
every'farm. Meeting^ for canning,
brining and drying foods will be
held. Thousands of home demonstra
tion club women throughout North
Carolina have produced and conserv
ed enough faog for the entire family
in the past, and t£ese leaders will
attempt to make the "Live-at-Home"
program a reality on every farm in
1943.
SEEDS
The supply of vegetable seed prom
ises to be sufficient for IMS Victory
Garden needs, but not large enough
to permit waste of seed through
careless sowing, neglect of a planted
garden, or planting on a soil too poor
to produce good" vegetables.
• FARM MACHINERY
When purchasing farm machinery,
assurance from a dealer that the
machinery or equipment is obtain
able from a supplier will be con

About three-fourths of all sports
