Less Paper and Wood Products Scheduled Growing pulpwood and lumber shortages will be felt by everyone in North Carolina during the summer and autumn as more drastic reductions in civilian supplies of familiar paper and wood products are enforced by the government to meet increased demands of the armed forces, I. 0. Schaub, State College Extension Director and Chairman of Governor Gregg Cherry's emergency committee on Forest Products Production, warns. Curtailment ordered by the War Production Board will affect householders, farmers, school children, merchants, business firms and the average citizen alike, according to Dean Schaub. -He makes an urgent plea to farmers, producers, suppliers, woodsmen and citizens in non-essential occupations to lend their assistance in the present crisis by producing more pulpwood and lumber now; first for critical war requirements and secondly to assure themselves of adequate supplies for home front needs. "Reduction in allotments of pulpwood products, particularly paper, by the Weir- Production Board, are the" direct result of enormously increased demands of the military for the all-out fight against Japan and the lessening volume of pulpwood available to mills," he explains. "These reductions will be felt in every department of domestic life during the third quarter of the year, beginning June 1 and continuing through September. Even more drastic cuts are certain unless pulpwood shortages can be overcome by vastly increased production." Governor Hildbreth of Maine has signed a bill providing $25,000 to purchase and equip an experimental blueberry farm. Blueberry growing is a coming industry in North Carolina.. State College Hints For Farm Homemakers By Roth Current, N. C. State College. Every paper bag is precious today. Housewives can help the situation by taking their own hags to market, by being economical of bags at grocery stores, by not asking for special wrapping paper at home. For the duration, a kitchen drawer may well be set aside for carefully folded bags and wrapping paper. To save the gardener's back and make old tools work easily, sharpen them now and keep them sharp all season. For general sharpening, have an 8 or 10 inch file, a whetstone, and possibly an emery wheel. l%e most useful* whetstone is made of carborundum with one side fine and one course. When sharpening a blade, push it one way only, and stroke the full length of the stone. After each using, dirt should be cleaned off tools to make them work better and last longer. Home infaig is more necessary to the war effort than ever. With home preserved food H is easier to give the family good, nntrititious meals the year round. Especially for families with gardens, canning saves money METHODIST CHURCH A Gospel Conf jrt—A Cap«lla »U\ be rendered at tb* Methodist Church on Sunday c-ining at 8:00 o'dMk by Rev.

BIRD CLUB Paschall Barrett read an article on the Ruddy Dude, a distinctly North American species, which is distributed widely over the continent It is perfectly at home on or under water and dislikes to leave it,, often preferring to attempt escape by diving rather than flying. They can dive so quickly that they often escape unharmed. They are extremely tough, hardy little birds, as they feed upon delicate grasses and other vegetable aliment in preference to sea food. It has been in great demand on the market since the Canvas-back first showed signs of scarcity, so the market gunners have pursued it until its numbers are no longer legion and its chances for extinction are good. This duck nests in prarie sloughs or on the shores of lakes, ponds and streams. The nests, a bulky structure of reeds, rushes and grass, is so large and buyont that it will float The eggs, 9 to 14, are creamy or light buff.

Gittelsohn arrived on I wo Jima he conducted a memorial service at the Fifth Marine Division cemetery. His address deeply stirred all who heard it Here is part of itv Here lie officers and men, Negroes and Whites, rich men and poor—together. Here are Protestants, Catholics and Jews—together. Here no man prefers another because of his faith or despises him because of his color. Here there are no quotas of how many from each group are admitted or allowed. Whoever of us lifts his hand in hate against a brother, or thinks himself superior to those who happen to be in the minority, makes of this ceremony and of the bloody sacrifice it commemorates an empty, hollow mockery. When the last battle has been won, there will be those at home, as there were last time, who will want us to turn our backs in selfish isolation on the rest of organized'humanity and thus to sabotage the very peace for which w* fight. We promise you who lie here: we will not do that! We will join hands with Britian, China, Russia in peace, even as we have in war, to build the kind of world for which you died. When the last shot has been fired, there will still be those whose eyes are tWned backward, not forward, who will be satisfied with those wide extremes of poverty and wealth in which the seeds of another war can breed. We promise you, our departed comrades: this to, we will not permit. We promise, by ail that is sacred and holy, that your sons, the sons of .miners and millers, the Sons of farmers and workers, will inherit from your death the right to a living that is-decent and secure.—Clipped from "The National Jewish Monthly", June issue. — For Sale — CEMENT BLOCKS Different Sizes.

The nmoval of straw from grain fields is a problem that baa come to us along with the combine, say* Enos Blair, Extension aff.onon ist at State College. In the old days of the binder and the thresher, the neat stactoi of straw left around the bam were valuable aa a source o* bedding, and as winter roughage .or dry cattle. When the combine first came into vogue many farmers simply left the straw on the field, in the hope that it would rot away before the lespedeza or clover which was growing in the grain stubble was ready to harvest for bay. But instead, the straw was usually raked up with the hay, resulting in hay of low quality. In some cases, extra heavy straw would smother out the clover and lespedesa. A few farmers have tried burning the straw, as left in windrows by the combine, but this is not only wasteful, but may also destroy much of the young hay crop. "It is well worth while to remove Ill East Wilson St — Phone 4040 — FanoriBe, N We do repair? on Washing Machines, Refrigerators, Fans, Irons, Toasters, Vaccum Cleaners, also Commercial Refrigeration, Electric Ranges the straw from grain stubble fields, both as a help in producing clean lespedeza or clover hay, and for its own value as bedding and roughage," says Blair, lite pick-up baler offers the easiest way of doing this. "Another good way is to rake the straw into windrows somewhat larger than those left by the combine, and bale it with a small portable baler. If this cannot be done, rake up the straw and haul H away, stacking it on the edge of the field or near the ham. "Th'e grain stubble should be clip ped within two or three weeks aftr harvest. This serve* to aet back the weeds, so that the hay crop car grow better. It also pots the Stbble in contact with the ground, where it will decay more rapidly than if left standing. "If the stubble is extremely high, it may pay to rake it off the field." Sanitary methods in handling milk and prompt cooling will help reduce losses from sour milk, caused by bacteria converting the milk sugar into lactic acid.
