^TENSION SERyiCE
^ed for Cotton
A]&plications now are being re^
ceived by county AAA offices for
insurance on the 1942 cotton crop,
^according to Tom Cornwell, Cleve
land county fanner and a member
ot tne State AAA Committee.
This is the first time North Caroli-
na’s 175,000 cotton producers have
b^n offered an opportunity to in
sure toeir yields in a plan similar
to the wheat crop insurance which
has been available for the past, two
years, 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
normal production in past years,”
Cornwell said.
!%he corporation is a non-profit
agency of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and funds for
admintotrating the program were
appropriated by Congress. Cotton
and wheat insurance is not designed
to make money for the farmer or
the corporation, but to serve, like
fire insurance, as partial protection
against loss.” ^
Premium rates are determined for
individual farms on the basis of los
ses during the past seven years, and
these 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
no effect on any other person inter
ested in the same crop. An applicant
.may choose insurance on three-
tourths or one-half of his normal
production, as he desires.
Premiums, it was pointed out, are
pay^le at the time the application
Is signed or may be deducted from
payments due the applicant in 1942
‘ e.. for compliance in the 1942 Agricul
tural Conservation Program in the
. stine manner as.^grant-of-aid costs
are deducted.
In no case, he said, will production
he insured on more than the cotton
acreage allotted under the AAA pro
gram. Deadline for filing applica-
^ons is Miur^ 16. x

'Vegetables that^ can be grown in
a “Victory Garden” are worth $253.-
55. based on retail store prices, says
H. R. Niswonger, Extension horticul
turist 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, the proper fertilizer and spray
:materials, and a special collection of
'Victory Garden seed which is being
.‘sold throughout the State by leading
seedsmen 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-
yestment.”
As examples of the value of gar-
den crops, the horticulturist said
'■' that 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,
both fresh tomatoes and an extra
amount for canning, throughout the
year. The approximate yield from
750 row feet ot tomatoes would be
20 bushels, or 1,200 pounds. At a
retail and curb market price of 6
cents pei^mund, the value of the to-
matoes in a Victory Garden would
^ be $72. )
Two and one-half pounds of bush
lima beans, planted in 250 feet of row,
will yield approximately 35 quarts,
sheRedi At 40 cents per quart, the
value would be $14.00. It requires
' 0 ounces of turnip seed to plant a
sufficient amount for a family of
five, but this planting will produce
'9|t>ptoximately nine bushels, or 450
pounds of turnip roots. At a retil
flhcie 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.

ISioes Important
Item, Now That
tires Scarce
■ Ordinto’y 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 College,
says this calls for better protection
of shoes.
"There are several ways to make
shoes. wear longer,” Miss Mclver
declar^, “and in tWs war emergen
cy we must make all , things last.
Thousands of shoes come to an ear
ly end because they lack care.”
The home economist says that
polishing shoes regularly isn’t just
a cranky notion. Polishing shoes
feeds the leather, makes it pliable,
and protects it.
“The life of literally thousands of
pairs of shoes is shortened by fail
ure 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 oil. Rub
it in well. Straighten the counters,
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 demand
that wasjke of materials be stopped
during the war emergency.
Beer Committee
Asks Cooperation
In Camp Areas
Raleigh, Feb. 16.—^The beer in-
dustiy 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 ip North Carolina.
The Brewers and North Caroli
na Beer Distributors Committee
today requested city and county 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 charge of the beer in
dustry’s “dean up or dose up” cam
paign in North Carolina, made tiie
request in letters to dty and county
offidals of Durham, Granville, Per
son and Union counties. One camp
will be located near Monroe and the
Durham-Granville-Pearson area will
be the site *of the other camp.
The state director dted 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, pnd 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 rnilitary areas was an
other move in the beer industry’s
fight to purge the industry of law-
violating retailers and to keep un-
pbate and lime now will graze four
times as many cattle as before.

Farm Questions
Question: Can electricity 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 electricity.
'Where currmit can be obtained for
as little as 2 cents a kilowatt hour,
the eld^c brooder is not out of line
in cost whrni 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 gardm- to plant
vegetables this ybar?
Answer: James G, Weaver, hor
ticulturist, says if you must sacri
fice your flower beds for 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.
Question: What should be done
with scrap iron and steel collected
on the farm?
Answer: If possible, this mater
ial should be hauled to the nearest
licensed junk dealer and sold there.
This wDl 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.
