-'r FMmAT, art* Mtm uSMgmttmYL Fall Oat Acreage l-C- ■} V‘ Present indications are that slig^y more than 250,060 acres of oate be seeded in North Carolina th« fa^ an increase of 5 Percent ov^ t^ 1941 acreage, says Middleton, agronomist of the icultural Experiment Station at «. c.| 'state College. , ..1 ' Best possible returns from this quarter million acres will be obtamM only by those growers who m^teri^y increase their per acre yields, tne agronomist explained. That an improvement can be maf e, he wenron, is suggested by t^e fact that whUe the average yield m Norm Carolina was 22.6 bushels for the three years, 1938 and 40, the average -- in experiment Station tests was from three to three and a half times as great. The Lee variety has been popular in the Piedmont counties for 18 to 20 years, largely because of its resistance to cold, while Fulgrain has been more widely grown in the coastal plain and to some extent in the Pied mont. Lee and Fulgrain are still good var ieties for these two areas. Dr. Middle- ton said, but chief interest now Ues in a group of new varieties carrying resistance to both smut and rust, and with the bold resistance of Lee. Among the most promising are sel ections originating from a cross Lee and Victoria. North Carolina has dis- trftuted two varieties from this cross, known as Letoria and other as Letina. j t ♦ Winter hardiness tests showed Let oria to be a harder variety than Lee, and Lelina about equal to Lee. Both carry good resistance to rust and smut, but ate not absolutely immune to all strains of either. . t * Dr. Middleton suggested that Let oria„ Lelina, and a third new variety, Stanton, be triad extrensively this fall in the place of Lee in the mont, and Victorgrain, Lelina, and Stanton in the Coastal Plain. 1“ MOVING Record-breaking volumes of winter cover crop seed, which ^ will help farmers beat the threatened mtrbgeii shortage, are now moving into the South from production areas in the Pacific Northwest.

State College Nowadays everyone is interested in thrifty meat dishes. Good stew is an old standby and here is how to make if.- AUow about 2 pounds-of lean raw meat without bone for a good all-meat stew for six persons, but the more meat you bwe the more nourishing and tasty vfiUl be ^%o make a 'good stew tot flour and then brown the meat in fat before you add water. Brown the vegetebl^ a few minutes in well-flavored fat. Vegetables are at their b^t wh^l you cook them quickly, so don t add 1 them until the meat is almost done. J it not quite tender. It doesn’t matter whether the wa-1 ter is cold or hot. Add enough water to cover the meat and simmer slowly until the meat is tender. Dont boil. Many cooks like to add a slice! of onion for sayory flavor. If fbe stew is not thick enough by toe time the meat is tender mix 1 or 2 table spoonfuls of flour to a smooth paste with a Uttle cold water. To the paste add several spoonfuls of the hot stew and then stir the mixture into toe rest of the stew, and cook until smooth and thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper and a little chopped parsley if you have it. 9: IkTO OiiElikes to 1^ awake; yet every night tbousa^ |\| toss and tumUe.4Sount die^t worry and fret, he- ^ V cause they can’t get to deep.

S. Department of Agriculture. SHARP It is necessary today as never fore that we face the problems^ of life squarely and without flinchmg. Soft people want speculatiims; strong I p)€ople want tiuth. We cannot solve ] the complex problems of our age by coloring them with wishful thinking I or by ignoring them completely. I We grant that building houses, ob taining food and clothing and waging I war are practical issues that demmid I immediate and careful consideration. If man were merely flesh and bones we would count these enterprises as [ the ultimate end of every field of I endeavor, whether social, economic ae I agricultural. I Many thinkers today taboo any thoughts that give rise to definite action regarding God and the salva- tion of the souls of men. We needn’t give the message of the Bible to a hog. ^1 a hog is interested in is a sty and mud and swill; he is not bothered with reasoning powers or a soul. Men are different! We are 1 immortal souls! We ar.e morally re- 1 sponsible tc an omnipotent God. Our concerns must necessarily be higher 1 than food, clothing and social ac tivity. We must live “tomorrow” as well as “today.” A hog lives only “today.” Therefore it is just as im portant to give consideration to tha needs of man’s immortal soul and God’s provision for it as it is to concentrate on the immediate prob lems of today. ENEMY ATTACK WAS REPULSED DURIN6 TKE NIGHT...” Today’s war commtinlqaes have a familiar ring to toe men of your electric company* For years, they’ve been ^ fighting cyclones, deet, snow, lightning and other natural enemies, aU around tho (dock and calondar. ■When real war came, they were ready. Beady for day and night duty. Ready to keep the lines hot with the precious dec- tricity that imwers America’s war industries. Tank, plane and ship produc tion schedules that seemed fan tastic a few months ago are being surpassed today—partly because these men knew their job so well. -They knew the job because they learned it the hard way—the American way—from the ground up. . .Experienced business B»n- agement, built upon the savings of millions of Americans, has given this country by far the most and the best electric ser vice in the world.
