ON THE FARM —WITH— THE CTTT COUSIN You can imagine my surprise on learning that a certain area in Japan has soil and climate not too different from that of the southeastern United States. It seems that because. of his similarity, a North Carolina na tive recently traveled 3,200 miles by rail and flew 9^00 miles by four-motored Army freighter planes to work with a soil sur vey project set up by the U. S Army in southern Japan. , To this important post, went one William D, Lee, associate professor of Agronomy at State College, who received g nine month’s leave of absence Search T.

VISIT LOCAL ARMY EXHIBITS APRIL 7-12 Keur Re{ular Army Serves the Nation and Mankind in War and Peace FAYETTEVILLE RECRUITING STATION ■4» Located at 105 1(2 Person Street ment, I ' learned that Lee was chosen because of his very intu mate knowledge of, and wide ex perience with the yellow and red soils of this section of his own country. Far from his home and family who stayed behind in Haleigh, the Buncombe Countian is hard at work on improving the agri culture of a beaten nation. With two other stateside men, Lee is examining the soils to detei'mine what improved practices can be applied to Japan’s basic pattern of farming. Whenever a man sets eyes on. Tokyo for the first time, lasting impressions have a way of build ing up. I wanted to know what Lee, who has been connected with Staet College since 1936, would have to say about these original imprints on the me.r.ory. Breathes there a ma'n who wouldn’t write home about it? Well, this Mr. Lee, who’s chief interest of a lifetime has been North Carolina soils, set down his impressions in a letter to Di rector I. O. Schaub of the State College Extension Service. His train of thought on Tokyo runs like this: little men, big loads—Japanese wtih rosey cheeks who do not look ill-fed—smell— “Odd dress, wonaen in slacks, kimonos, dresses, wooden shoes. Jeeps, thousands of th^m, driven by Japanese. Hundreds of colo nels. Hardly a second lieutenant. “Army houses and feeds us in hotels and large homes—many places ‘off li.T.its’—^Army runs free buses—large and important buildings missed in bombing— people appear intelligent, clever, polite—^Army uses Japanese every where possible—about half the office force in Agriculture a: Japanese.” His wandering thoughts end. I have noticed before that where little men have big Ibads in ag riculture, State College is always ‘ represented in any program de-' signed to lighten their burden. i Now I know why Mr. Lee went to Japan. ! -0 i eggs chiefly in the late afternoon and night, it is important that the potatoes be moved from the field to storage the same fla^ they are dug, when digging time comes. QUESTION: What can I do as a poultry,T.an I to reduce the cost of' feed? ANSWER: Prof. Roy S. Dear- styne, head of the Poultry Depart ment at State College, says that this is a question as old as'he industry itself. It invariably leads back in each case to the samcj starting poipt> he believes. Care fully bred stock, which implies^ stock bred to live, grow and per- for.T, is a* big factor, and thoughL ful, efficient management by the owner is equally one of the great est advances the industry could make, Prof Dearstyne says, poin ting out that rfwarch Dos shown that this ■ will f««d OMfg by from TO m percent, aibte care in feerting by, reducing wanle at the feed to a miiimti» and cutting dC !-r pooilage through better feec stf- -ige wilt also re sult in a sa..'c to you.
