Court-Martial
Booze and Vice!
The age-old battle of social and

jtrade has entered a new phase with
Jthe nation’s current effort to train a
icitizen army.
i In effect, liquor says “These are
•our customers pnd we want their
.money.” In effect, the volunteer so*
icial workers say “These are our
'boys and we don’t want them
Itrained to be beer addicts.”

“The coalition
gambling and vice is
of liquor,
strong in almost every community
adjoi^g the camps. ... In many
leases tte arrangements between
such forces of corruption and local
jpolitics appear to be based on an
amiable reciprocity. . . . The re-

Antioch News
The Men of the Church of the
Antioch Presbyterian Chiurch enter
tained around seventy soldiers from
Fort Bragg at their Jime meeting.
The Auxiliary served a bountiful
fried chicken supper to the soldiers
and the local men. Then followed a
devotional by Mr. Willie Hodgin,
a most appropriate and interesting
speech by Mr. Lee of Red Springs,
the singing of a group of hyinns and
old Southern songs led by Mrs. Poole
on the piano-accordion, and then a
splendid program of games enthus-
istically led by Miss Hall of Raeford.
Cards with a little message of infor
mation about the hostess church were
passed out to the soldiers on which
they wrote personal message to par
ents and friends, the cards then col
lected and mailed. It is very grati
fying to the church to receive res
ponses from the soldiers’ homefolks
in answer to these cards expressing
thankfulness for the courtesies being
shown sons away from home in the
army. Chaplain and Mrs. Graunsteia
accompanied this group to Antioch
and were highly complimentary of
the efficiency and high type of enter
tainment with which the evening’s
program was handled and filled.
Antioch expects to have another gro
up of soldiers out before long. Inci-
dentaly, and very important, was the
sweet graciousness of the womm in
making the soldiers feel at home,
and the willingness of the local girls
to do their part in helping the boys
enjoy the evening.
Farmers Serve Nation
And Selves By Growing
Food—^Miss Holleman
Farm families who have little
money can’t afford to buy all the
food they need for a good diet, but
they can afford to ^ow it. Miss
Holleman, home management super
visor for the Farm Security Admin
istration, said in discussing the part
farm families have to play in the
nation-wide drive to assure ample
food supplies for the United States
and other countries resisting aggres
sion.
“Fact is,” Miss Holleman said,
“they can’t afford not to maintain
cows to furnish a year-round supply
of milk, cream, and butter; to raise
enough chickens to provide rneat
and eggs all year, instead of just
a few months in the spring, and
to produce a variety of animals for
the other kinds of meat, including
pork, beef, and lamb.”
“Farm families in Hoke county
being assisted in their farm and
home operations by this agency
of the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture are learning that they can have
more food and better food for less
money by raising bigger gardens,
increasing their poultry flocks, and
feeding a few livestock for home
consumption,” Miss polleman de
clared.
Miss Holleman said that although
borrowers of the FSA have | always
followed a live-at-home plan and
grown most of their food and feed
on the farm, a majority of them are
planning to produce more than ever
this year. They expect to take full
advantage of the opportunity to re
duce their own living expenses, im
prove their diet, and at the same time
produce additional quanities to meet
the national needs for greater sup
plies.
The home supervisor believes that
FSA borrowers in this coimty are
in full accord with a recent statement
made by Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard in which he announced a
nation-wide drive to produce every
possible egg from present laying
flocks this spring and summer.
This effort is a part of the nation's
determination to assure ample food
supplies for this and other countries
during the present emergency. It
should, according to Department
officials, increase egg production for
the whole country in the next fifteen
months by about six per cent.

Answers Timely
Farm Qaestions
Question—^When should corn and
sorghum be cut for silage?
Answer—^Dairy specialists of the
State College Extension Service say
that crops should be cut for silage
when they contain the maximum
feed nutrients and at the same time
have sufficient moisture to pack weU
in the silo. With com, the grain
should be denting and the shuck
slightly yeUow. This stage of matu
rity is reached about a week or
ten days before the com is ready to
cut and shock. Sorghum should be
cut when the seed in the head are
firm.
Bobby McBryde and Joe Poole
represented ttie Antioch 4-H club at
Camp Millstone last week. They re
port a wonderful time. Mr. Knowles,
Miss Hall, and the counseUors are to
be praised for their fine work in
handling the varied program dt the
camp. Those who have never visited
Camp Millstone should do so. It is
in one of nature’s choicest beauty
spots and the government has built
all necessary buildings for the effi
cient and comfortable running of the
camp.
Question—^What types of vege
tables can be put up with a hot
water canner?
Answer—Only* vegetables and
fmits . which are“acid” and can be
safely preserved at a boiling tem
perature, 212 degrees F., may be
canned with a hot water canner,
says Mrs^. Cornelia C. Morris, Ex
tension foM conservation specialist.
This list includes tomatoes, fruits,
freshly-gatb^ed, young, tender str
ing beans, and a pre-cooked soup
mixture conteining a large proportion
of tomatoes. Such non-acid products
as com, peas, beans, spinach, okra
and quash reqhire a pressure canner.

Question—When is the best time
to seed a permanent lawn?
Answer—Except fo^ the Mountain
section, the best results are usually
secured by seeding grass in the early
fall. John H. Harris, Extension land
scape specialist of N- C. State College,
says even in the mountains nt eleva
tion of less than 2,500 feet, the best
time to seed a lawn is in the early
fall. By seeding in the fall, tiie grass
will generaUy {become well establish
ed before winter, and in the spring
will have a good start on weeds and
undesirable grasses.
