Weaver, head of the Department of Agricultural Engineering at N. C. State'College. He points to the record of Catawba County, for example, as reported by Assistant County Agent Jesse F. Giles. Since 1936 growers there hnve sprat |20,426.40 for the construction of terraces. On 916 farms a total of 9,141 acres have been terraced and 328,650 linear feet of farm road have also been constructed. Weaver says that the average cost of terracing an acre with the Catawba County equipment is $2.23 per acre, with a cost of 52 cents per one hundred feet. Most of this work has been done on small farms where growers have only light equipment and are unable t» do the terracing as they wish it carried out. A complete circle of the county is made every two years and at the present time the demand for the terracing equipment is so heavy that it cannot possibly do all the work' needed As an example of what farmers think of the service rendered by the terracing equipment, Zeb Wilson of Route 1, Newton, says that his farm is easily worth, one third more because of the terracing of 15 acres during the fall of last year. E. C. Cansler, also of Newton, has additional terracing done on his farm every time the machinery comes to his community. .

A. Patten, State AAA Executive Assistant. The shipment restrictions were embodied" in Oilseed Orders 4 and 5 which were issued last winter and which provided that no soybean oil meal could be sold for shipment from the Corn Belt into designated areas without specific authorization of the Commodity C»dit Corporation. This order, huwevef,C<#d not affect movement of soybean meal produced in processing plants located within these areas. North Carolina was included in the area of the Southeastern states. The orders were issued in order to make more meal produced' in the Corn Belt available in that ana and in the Pacific Northwest during the heavy feeding season, and to facilitate the use of soybean meal produced in eastern and southern mills in markets near these mills. j& "Many of the mills in this area soon will complete crushing of soybeans for the season, and it will be nw$ssary for western mills to dSs* tribute their meal over wider areas,* Patten said. "While feeder demand is seasonally smaller now than during the winter months, many North Carolina feeders are in tirgentneed of supplies." It is expected that only a small quantity of western soybean meal will be carried over into the 1943-44 season, Patten Sectored, *od this situation emphasizes the need for maximum production of soybeans this year. _L Teen-Age Boys Solve Farm Labor Shortage Jerry Padgett, who is only 10 years old, and Robert Herbert, 15, have qualified as expert tractor operators on their father's farms in Clay County and have solved a critical labor shortage, says Fred S. Sloan, state program leader for the N. C. * State College ^Extension .Service. He reporta that the h>ys are operating tractors and trac<#r-drawn machinery like veterans in plowing, harrowing, seeding, and cultivating the crops. When the boys tearped up, their father's decided to do the same thing, and now the two farms are operated as one. _ The two owners pooled all of their labor and equipment and found that they had two- tractors, a combine, grain drill, lime spreader, a two-row corn planter, culti packer, two mowteg machines and rakes, two disc harrows, one drag harrow, two disc plows, a two-row cultivator, and the estate of D.
