■ Do something every day at home to
help win the war.
There’s an old saVing—maybe you
remember it—that “a good hoeing
is worth as much as a shower.” Even
a heavy shower does little good if
most of the rain runs off. But a good
hoeing keeps down weeds. Weeds
draw heavily on the moisture in the
soil. The fewer the weeds, the more
moisture saved for the crops.
“Tickle the ground with a hoe, and
V you will make it laugh with a har
vest.”
Don’t let the insects get ahead of
you in the garden.
Make plans for a fall garden by
buying seed now. Don’t wait; seed
will be hard to get later.
Save two tons of hay for every
cow you expect to keep. Hay will
be high next winter and hard to get.
Prune/ljOnly those plants that need
flowering but do not prune those
which produce berries.
Prune only tohse plants that need
it.
Thin out the older canes and avoid
rou^id or flat pruning.

Office Defense Transportation has
started a survey of inter-city bus
and rail travel out of 100 cities as a
step toward travel rationing and has
placed bus service between Washing
ton and New York on a war footing.
The Bureau of Industrial Conserva
tion tossed a bouquet at a New Jer
sey plant of the DuPont' company
for a record salvage campaign. Un
der the direction of its war produc-
‘tion drive committee, the, plant col
lected in one month 100.5, tons of
scrap iron, 9.5 tons of hard lead,
5.25 tons of copper, jS tons of brass,
1.75 tons of aluminum, 1.75 tons of
stainl^ steel, .25 tons'of monel and
1,073 "^unds of rubber. OPA de
creed that the 1942 fall lines in
women’s, girls’ and children’s outer
clothing shall be priced at the same
level as in 1941. And that goods sold
at auction shall not go above the
. price ceiling. Among nine WPB in-
"^Vy advisory committees recently
pointed, one will advise on snuff.
Goose and duck feathers over a cer
tain length have been released for
civilian use in pillows and upholstery.
The price ceiling over ice has been
lifted a trifle to permit dealers to
s®l ice in the summer months at the
same prices they got in the summer
of 1941 instead of at the March, 1942,
levels. WPB has liberalized the rules
imder which distributors may sell
molasses to farmers for use in prep
arations to kill insects. A supply of
molasses was necessary to combat a
threatened spread of boll weevil in
the South.

Question-»How do poultry num-
j'bers compare this year with 1941?
Answer—^Best estimates indicaffes a
15 per cent increase in layers on
North Carolina farms this year.
Hatchery reports also indicate that
the 1942 hatch will probably run be
tween 20 and 25 per cent higher than
that o 1941. This increase is the re
sult of the Government’s call for more
poultry and more eggs, both as food
f(M| people at hme and to supply the
n«fds of the armed forces and lease-
lend r^uirements.
Question—I have heard that aspirin
■will help to keen cut flowers fresh.
Is this true? ^
Answer—Glenn O. Randall, State
College floriculturist, says extensive
experiments have shown that the
p^ular notion about the effective
ness of aspirin for prolonging the life
of cut flowers apparently has no
basis. The experiments would tend
to indicate that those who use this
method are merely wasting valuable
asnirin^ I

CasualtY-1,000 miles from the enemy
iLMOST as fatal as a'bullet ch- a shell is the
breakdown in the spirit of a sailor or a soldier.
Our men have the finest spirit in the world. But it
must be maintained in the American way.
They must not be made to feel that they are mere
automatons, fighting machines, as the armed forces
of the dictators have been noade to feel.
Life in our navy and army is hard. Discipline is
toi^ It must be. But there also must be moments
when the sailor or soldier is treated as a person
as Mr. Somebody-or-other.
That’s where the USO comes in. For the USO is
the banding together of six great agencies to serve
one'great purpose—to see that our boys in the camps
and naval stations have a place to go, to turn to, a
“home away from home.”
The duties of the USO have more than double^
during the year. Its field of operations has enlarged
to include almost the entire face of the globe.
To carry on its all-important work, the USO must
raise $32,000,000. It needs your contribution. No
matter how small you make that contribution, the
USO needs it now.
You are beset by requests for help on all sides,
all means, try to meet those requests. But amcmg
them, don’t neglect the USO.
Send your contribution to yotir local USO com
mittee, or to USO, National Headquarters, Empire
State Building, New York.
