This is the- first time North Caroli na’s n^.OOO cotton producers have been f fered an opportunity to in sure their ^dds in a plan similar to the wheat crop insurance, which has been available tor the pa^t two jrears, Cornwell said. “This insurance is issued by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, and affords the cotton producer an opportunity to insure his yield either for 75 per cent or 50 per cent of his nor production in past years,” ComweU said. “T^e corporation is a non-profit agency of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, and funds for administrating the program were appropriated by Congress. Cotton and wheat insurance is not designed to msdee money for the farmer or the coiporation. but to serve, like fire insurance, as partial protection .against loss.” Premii^ rates are determined for individual farms on the basis of los ses during the past seven years, and there records now are available in the county AAA offices, He pointed out that the insurance is available to anyone having an in terest in a cotton crop, whether land owner, tenant or sharecropper. In- :surance taken by one person having :an interest in the crop, however, has 310 eff^ on any other person inter- «sted in the same crop. An applicant may dioose insurance on three- fourths or mie-half of his normal production, as he desires. Premiums, it was pointed out, are payable at the time the application is signed or may be deducted from payinrats due the applicant in 1942 f«l|f compliance in the 1942 Agricul- turn Conservation Ihrogram in the same manner as grant-of.4id coste are deducted. In no case, he said, wiU production be insured on more than the cotton f ereage aUotted under the AAA pro ram. Deadline for filing applica- ''*\ions is March 15. Ordinary citizens are going to have to depend more and more on shoe leather, now that tires are be ing rationed. Miss Julia Mclver, assistant Extension clothing speci alist of North Carolina State CoUege, says this calls for better protection of shoes. There are several ways to make shoes wear longer,” Miss Mclver declared, “and in this war emergen cy we must make aU things last. Thousands of shoes come to an ear ly end because they lack care.” The home economist says that; polishing shoes regularly im’t just a cranky notion. Polishing shoes feeds the leather, makes it phable, and protects it. “The life of literally thousands of pairs of shoes is shortened by fail- mre to dry them properly,” said Miss Mclver. “Waterproofing shoes helps protect them, but doesn’t take the place of rubber overshoes or rubber boots for walking in water, soft mud or slushy snow. Shoes which be come wet should be dried slowly, not too close to an open fire, and never in a hot place like the top of a radiator or in the oven. The right way to dry shoes,” the clothing specialist explained, “is this: First, wash off all mud with a damp cloth and wipe the surface as dry as possible. Oil the shoes lightly all over with castor oU. Rub it in well. Straighten the coimters, heels, toes and vamps if they need it. Then stuff the shoes with crum pled paper,, or, on the farm, with oats to keep their shape and absorb moisture. Set the shoes in a moder ately warm place for several hours or overnight Polish when dry.” The State College economist says most people never stop to think how much they spend annually on shoes for the family. Rising costs defnand that waste of materials be stopped during the war emergency. U 99 phate and lime pow will graze four times as many cattle'as before. s.

SAMPLE COPY ON REQUEST Wordi $253 To Famfly Of Rve Vegetables that can be grown in a “Victoiy Garden” are worth $253.- 55. based on retail store prices, says H. R. Niswonger, Extension horticid- tuiist of North Carolina State Col lege. If the vegetables were all sold on curb markets, at seasonal prices, they would bring $255.28. “All this is possible,” Niswonger declared, “through a little garden work, tlie proper fertilizer and spray materials, and a special collection of Vietpry Garden seed which is being £old fhrou^out the State by leading :seed8men at prices ranging from $5.35 to $6.50 for the entire seed as sortment. It is evident from this ^-that a Victory Garden is a good in- ^vestment.” — As examples of the value of gar den crops, the horticulturist said thiat one-half ounce of tomato seed will produce enough plants to put out 750 row feet. This planting will be sufficient to feed a family of five, boih fresh tomatoes and an extra amount for canning, throughout the year. The approximate yield fijom 750 row feet of tomatoes would be 20 bushels, or 1,200 pounds. At a retail and curb market price of 6 •cents per pound, the value of the to matoes in a'V.totory Garden would ^e $72. Two and one-half pounds of bush lima beans, planted in 250 feet of row, jWill yield approximately 35 quarts, ^^ed. At 40 cents per quart, the '^,alue would be $14.00. It requires 5 ounces of turnip seed to plant a sufficient amount for a family of fiv^but this planting will produce i^prmdmately nine bushels, or 450 of turnip roots. At a retil price of 3 cents per pound, the value is $13.50; at a curb market price of 4 cents per pound, the value is $18.00 “Grow a -Victory Garden to show your patriotism, to help meet 'eco nomic needs, • and to improve your health," the horticulturist urged. Beer Committee Asks Cooperation In Camp Areas Raleigh, Feb. 16.—The beer in dustry has taken steps to prevent undesirable elements from estab lishing retail beer outlets in the vi cinity of the two army camps to be located in North Carolina. The Brewers and North Caroli na Beer Distributors Committee today requested city and coimty of ficials in these new camp areas to scrutinize carefully ‘a‘ll applications for retail beer licenses to the end that the industry may be purged of illegal or undesirable outlets". . Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro, state director in diarge of the beer in dustry’s “dean up or dose up" cam paign in North Carolina, made the request in letters to city and county officials of Durham, Granville, Per son and Union counties. One camp wiU be located near Monroe and the Durham-Granville-Pearson area will be the site of the other camp. The state director cited the stat ute which prohibits the issuance of retail beer licenses to persons guil ty of liquor law violations or to per sons unable to show good character. Bain cautioned the officials that the establishment of new camps in their sections will result in many new businesses, and urged them to “re fuse beer licenses to all dealers who cannot comply with the law”: This letter to city and county offi cials in these military areas was an other move in the beer industry’s fight to purge the industry of law- violating retailers and to keep un- State Collide Asxsvtm Imidy Fam Questions Question: Can electridty be used to brood baby chides economically? Answer: C. F. Parrish, Extension Service poultryman, says the mat ter of economy depends on the price the farmer pays for his electridty. Where current can obtained for as little as 2 cents a kilowatt hour, the electric brooder is not out of line in cost whm compared with .other standard methods of keeping chicks warm. An infra-red bulb in the brooder is being tried now in North Carolina and offers much promise. Question: Would you advise dig- ding up a flower garden to plant vegetables this year? Answer: James G* Weaver, hor ticulturist, says if yOU must sacri fice your fiower beds tor vegetables, don’t While the family on the farm has plenty of land to grow a vege table garden, the city or surburban dweller sometimes hasn’t and would have to sacrifice his flowers for a few tomatoes. Weaver says he hopes the flower gardeners will con tinue to grow their blossoms because of the beauty they add to the home and community. PASTURE. R. B.

Answer: If possible, this mater ial should be hauled to the nearest licensed junk dealer and sold there. This will assure the farmer of the highest possible price for his scrap. However, there are peddlers going through the country who will buy the scrap at a price considerably lower than what the farmer could obtain in town, since they must make a small profit and pay their trans portation costs.
