GIVEN HIGHER LUMBER RATINGS Farmers Are Provided With AA-3 Rating Hitter priority ratings for the saftwood lumber required for es sential agricultural uses are pro vided in an amendment to the softwood lumber required for es der, according to G. T. Scott, ehiainmi&n of the State USDA War Board. Under the new ruling, farmers are provided with an AA-3 pri ority rating for lumber used in maintenance and repairing of farm building, other than dwell ings. An AA-4 rating is provided for most other agricultural uses, such as constructing shelters, barns, pens, sheds fcr livestock and poultry, and other essential buildings. “Automatic preference ratings are not provided for new softwood lumber to :be used fcr such agri cultural purposes as construction of mew dwellings, garages, ma chine sheds, repair shops and sim ilar buildings,” Scott said. “iThe softwood lumber conservation or der, however, does not affect the use of home-sawed', used, or hard wood lumber for any purpose, un less otherwise restricted. Regard less of the type of lumber used, present conservation orders pro hibit construction of agricultural dwellings costing $200 or more and other agricultural buildinlgs costing $1,000 or more, without prior approval of the War Produc tion Board.” 1 He said the amendment makes it compulsory for dealers to fill purchase orders carrying a pref erence rating if they have the material on hand and do not have ■orders pending with higher prior ity ratings. STATE COLLEGE HINTS FOR FARM HOMEMAKERS By RUTH CURRENT The thrifty housewife should know food grades. This war pe riod is no time to buy a “pig in a poke.” When shopping for the family’s food, it is1 very important that you know as much as possi ble about your groceries before you part with either your money or your ration stamps. One way to know whet you are 1 buying is to get foods with U. S. Government 'grades, whenever possible. Government grades are accurate. By purchasing such graded foods you can get what you want at the prioe you want to pay. Take canned fruits and vege tables, for example. If you get the grade-labeled can, the label tells you whether the food is of A, B, or C quality. The growers con sider size, ripeness, freedom from i blemishes, tenderness and' uni | fonmity in making up the grades'. Grade C canned igods are -of good quality but they are not as carefully selected as the first two grades. However, they may 'have the advantage in food value be cause the fruit or vegetables may have been more mature when har vested. You don’t need high-cost, Grads A peaches, if you are going to cut them for a salad or cobbler. Buying the grade that suits your use is a .simple Way of cut ting down on the food budget. It is the thrifty buyer, who buys the lower .grades, which are less ex pensive, when the fruits and vege tables are* to be cut up or com bined with other foods. Butter has just been put tinder grading. It previously had been, graded, but the grades were in numbers instead of letters. Today all butter comes in five grades— the top grade is AA, next A, then B, Then C, and the lowest grade for ’ utter is “U. S. Cooking.” RURAL WOMEN WILL PLEDGE MORE ‘FOOD FOR FREEDOM’ To Visit Every Family and Explain Food Situation Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, Assistant home demonstration a'gent at N. C. State (College, has announced that all rural women in North Carolina will be given the oppor tunity of signing a pledge in the “Food for Freedom” campaign, ■which wjll be held during March.

Mrs. Smith said that l“Live-at iHome” is not just a popular slo gan but is an idea which should receive the serious consideration of every farm family throughout the State. Plenty olf fresh fruits and vegetables during season and enough home-canned products for the remainder of the .year, will re lieve the strain on rationed foods, and guarantee an adequate supply of commercially canned products for the armed forces and the Al lies. ' _ Hural women axe asked to make plants for about one ton of food each member of their families for the year, as a result, the Victory Garden will be a No. 1 project on every farm. Meetings for can nirg, brining and! drying foods will be held. Thousands of home demonstration club women over North Carolina have produced and conserved enough food' for the en tire family in the past, and these leaders will attempt to make the “Live-at-Honne” program % eality on every farm in 1943.

The United States Department of Agriculture .is stressing the need for more and better gardens both rural and urban, and predicts that 20,000,000 "Victory Garden era will render an imprtoant war tune service 'by helping1 to meet the following difficulties with which the country is confronted: 1. Demand from the military and leni-lease fot vegetables and firuits. 2: Shortages for materials1 for cans. 3. Transportation difficulties that make long hauls for fresh vegetables problematical, at times. 4. .Farm labor shortages that miaka the home gardener’s man power indespensable. i Despite these difficulties, (Secre- | tary Wickatd arid others in ait* tbority ih the United States De partment of Agriculture, _ antici pate a successful tgardenening year, and we will need bountiful] supplies to help civilians' with their food needs and their nutri tion requirements for vitamins and minerals.
