of P^resident Roosevelt’s proclama
tion urging that Thanksgiving day
and New Year’s day be observed as
days of prayer follows:
Days of prayer: Thanksgiving day
and New Year’s day.
^ ^ By the President of the United
States of America.
A PROCLAMATION
“It is a good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord.” Across the uncer
tain ways of. space and time our
hearts echo those words, for the days
are with us again when, at the gath-
Ing of the harvest, we solemnly ex
press pur depended upon Almighty
God.,,
Th^ final months of this year, now
almost spent, find our republic and
the nations joined with it waging a
' battle on many fronts for the preser
vation of liberty.
In giving thanks for the greatest
harvest in the history of our nation,
we who plant and reap can well re
solve that in the year to come we will
do all in our power to pass that mile
stone; for by our labors in the fields
we can share some part of the sacri
fice wi& our broQters and sons who
wear ilte tmifom of United
States.
It is fitting thgt- we recall now the
reverent words of George Washing-
tpn:
♦‘Almighty God, we make pur ear
nest prayer that thou wilt keep the
United States in Thy holy protection,”
and that every American in his own
way lift his voice to heaven.
I reconvmesid that all of us bear in
mind this great psalm:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall
not want.
“He iQiaketh me to lie down in
green pastures: He leadeth me be
side the still waters.
“He restoreth my seul: He leadeth
me in the paths of righteousness for
his name’s sake.
“Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy stall they comfort
me.
“Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies: 'Thou
anointest my head with oil; My cup
runneth over.
“Surely goodness and meriy shall
follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the House of the
Lrod for ever.”
Inspired with faith and courage by
these words, let us turn again to the
work that confronts us in this time
Mt national emergency: In the arm
ed services and the merchant ma
rines; in factories and offices; on
farms and in the mines; on highways,
railways and airways; in other places
of public service to the nation; and
in our homes.
Now, therefore, I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President of the Unit^
States of America, do hereby invite
{attention of the people to the joint
resolution of Congress approved De
cember 26, 1941, which designates
the fourth Thursday in November,
of each year as Thanksgiving day;
and I request that both Thnksgiving
day, November 26, 1942, and New
Year’s day, January 1, 1943, be ob
served in prayer, publicly and pri
vately.
In witness whereof, I have hereun
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States of America to be
Done at the City of Wadxington

For Machinery
Very little new farm machinwy
vihll be manufactured for the dura
tion, and D. S. Weaver, Extension
agricultural engineer of N. C. State
College, says it is absolutely essen
tial that farmers protect and preserve
teh machinery they now have. Some
ikachines will be irreplaceable, he
dcK^ared, qnd failure to protect and
prMttrve thm may reault in not only
an individual, but a National loss.
“Rust is one , of the chief enemies
of farm machiliCTy,” said Weaver.
“Most paints form a protective cov
ering over the metal, but only red
lead paind will actually (prevent
%■ farm engineer says that ready-
I^epared red lead paints are availa
ble, and the only caution' is . to secure
a high class product. Cheap paint
is a imisttfice at any tbne, says Wea
ver, and particularly at this time,
gndard brands 'turned out by re-
^e manufacturers should be used,
ne farmers prefer to make up
yown paint. . The Extension
jiSiist suggests the following di-
dons in' preparation of home-made
paiiKt; . ,
1. By volume, mix three parte of

thoroughly wet the dry red lead.
2. Thin the paste to painting con
sistency with an equal volume of
thinning mixture composed of six
parts of raw linseed oil, two parts of
turpentine, and one part of liqudi
drier.
3. Stir thoroughly and strain out
lumps of foreign material. , You can
not stir too much, and frequently
paint is stirred too little
4. Use a good brush and apply
thoroughly to all exposed surfaces of
the metal.

Farm Questions
Q. What is the purpose of phos
phate in garden fertili^ mixtures?
A. H. R. Niswonger, Extension
horticulturist of State College, says
that phosphorus is ^ nebessary for
plant cell division, and is especially
essential for fruit and seed produc
tion. It sometimes stimulates the
formation and growth of roots, gives
a start to plants, and hastens matu
rity. Superphosphate is needed in
the produetkn of sitetp and lima beans
com, peas., peppers, tomatoes, dcra,
squash, cucumbers, cantaloupes, cab
bage, collards and eggplant.
Q. Are any varieties of flue-cured
tobacco resistant to black root rot
disease? ^
A. The Agricultural Experiment
Station of N. C. State College and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture have
recently developed two new ' flue-
cured varieties, one of which is high
ly, and the .other partly, resistant to
black root rot disease. 'They are
known as “No. 400” and “No. 401.”
Further information about these new
varieties may be obtained by writing
to Dr. L. D. Ba'ver, director of the
Experiment Station, State College
Station, Raleigh.
WmterHay,
Grazing Crqps
Needed In East
Recent rains in 'the Coastal Plain
have destroyed the value of a large
part of the hay that was stacked out
doors in Eastern Carolina. The daifi
age to peanut and soybean hay has
been especially serious, reports E.
R. Collins, Extension agronomy lea
der of N. C. State College.
“Every effort should be made by
livestock farmers to supplement
their feed supplies with fall-seeded
crops for winter grazing and spring
hay,” says Collins. “Fortunately,
there is still time to sow winter le
gumes and small grains to be grazed
in Februray and March, or to be har
vested for hay in the late spring.”
The agronomist explained that the
restrictions placed on the use of fer
tilizers containing nitrogen applied
on small grains does not apply where
the grain is not harvested. Where
farmers seed small grains for graz
ing, or in mixtures with legumes for
grazing, they wiU' be able to obtain
2-12-6 and 2-8-10 fertilizers. Collins
says that all winter hay and grazing
crops should be top-dressed with ni
trogen February or early March.
One of the best winter hay mix-
iturea, acorading to the Extension
worker, is a combinationi of vetch or
Austrian peas and small grains.
He suggests the per acre seeding
of 15 pounds of vetch or Austrian
winter peas, 2 bushels of Fulgrain
No. 3 or FVilghum oats, 1..2 bushel of
Carala or Redhart wheat, and 1-2
bushel of Iredell barley if available.
This mixture should be' planted as
soon as possible, and should be ferti
lized with 200 pounds per acre of
2-12.6 fertilizer at plantmg time.
Collins says that 1 1-2 bushels of
Abruzzi rye, planted by November
15 and fertiliz^ with 200 pounds of
2-12.6 at planting time, will furnish
grazing in February and March.

Tpday’s storage is tomorrow’s din
ner. Don’t store glass jars of fruits
and vegetables (1) in hot places,
(2) in damp places, (3) in bright
places, (4) on weak shelves.
Fresh fruits and vegetables should
be stored in a way that will preserve
their attractive colors, their fresh
flavors, and their health-giving nu
trients.
’The most useful cellar 'will be large
enou^ to hold canned goods as 'well
as potatoes, turnips, beets, emrots,
cabbage, celery, onions, and apples.
Cellar, cave, and pit storage are cheap
arid effective for many vegetables. In
storage cellars or caves, shelves, bins,
or stacked crates may be used to con
serve space and provide for free cir
culation of air around fruits and ve.
getdjles.

What foods build strong muscles?
Milk, eggs, meat, cheese, dried beans
and peas. These foods not only build
muscles but help keep muscles in
good repair.
Do milk, eggs, meat, dried beans
and peas have any other value in
the diet? Yes, they help safeguarj!
the health of the body. They are
some of the “protective” foods rich
in minerals and vitamins.
How does milk rank as a building
food? Now does it rank as a “pro
tective” food? Milk, besides being
a muscle building ft^, is also the
best single food for building strong
bones and teeth because it is the ri
chest source of calciumi. Whole milk,
cream and butter are rich in the vi
tamin so necessary for protectiDg
our body against infections and for
keeping our eyesight dear and keen.
