Spartime demand for la bor of all kinds will be felt in almost every home in the country, partly in the absence of familiar articles for the man ufacture of which neither labor nor materials can be spared. The greatest change, however, will be In the number of mem bers of families at work. It is expected that by the end of 1043 about 70 per cent of all per sons in the United States be tween the ages of 15 and 65 will be employed or in military serv. ice, arrnid 20' million of these will be In war industry. To se cure millions of new workers and train them for skilled oper ations in war plants will be a stupendous undertaking—yet it must be done if we are to meet next year’s production sched ules. . F-uel Situation Acute The fact that recently 4,000 men enlisted in the Army were released from service to return to the mining industry illustrat ed the need for the new “Man ning Tables” system that will provide for a methodical and orderly replacement of skilled workers taken into the armed FOR SHOES . . .

In addi tion, coal and oil heating stoves have been rationed in the fuel oil rationing area first choice on coal heaters going to house holders who will use the new stove to replace oil heating equipment. But all these meas ures will still leave the main part of the fuel-saving program up to the consumer, who must employ every possible means of saving fuel and tightening up living quarters against the cold. Tire inspection—-an essential part of rubber saving—now is in progress throughout the country. All motorists must complete the record of their first tire Inspection by January 31, 1943, and owners of com mercial vehicles must be ready for tire inspection by January 15 — Members of car-sharing groups will not be subject to insurance liability for carrying passengers, through agreement with more than 200 companies writing the hulk of automobile liability insurance—After Jan uary 15, 1943. some 27,000 items of builders hardware will be reduced to 3,500 types, sizes, weights and standards, saving metals and production costs— Consumers of sugar and coffee who eat 14 or more meals a week at the same boarding house or restaurant must give up their ration book one to the proprietors but they will get them back temporarily in order to secure Ration Book Two— Matches must be used sparingly, they use up vast quantities of "wood, besides being needed by the armed forces—An instru ment has been developed that will make it passible for blind persons to make precision in spections of certain machine products—And a high-power “X-ray eye”, is used to test die eastings used in making ammu nition—New Year's Day will not be a holiday tor war workers or government employees.

Arey. Extension dairyman of N. C. State College. Production was high but costs were great and labor problems were many. As for the future, Arey said. “Milk is an essential war food. It is the greatest builder of body resistance to disease of all foods. The need-fo rit 4n this State during 1943 will be greater than in 1942. The supply, on the other hand, will be governed by the price received for it by the farmer. An unfavorable price will make it impossible for him to pay present high prices for labor and feed. With out a supply of both, milk pro duction will drop.” The extension man said that scores of dairymen had either a large or complete turnover in labor during 1942. Much of the new labor, when any could be secured, has been high priced, green and inefficient. “This condition,” said Arey, “together with the ceiling price on milk, has in some instances eliminat ed all profit from the dairy busi ness and resulted in the disper sal of a number of herds.” Yet, interest in dairy farming was at a peak in, North Carolina during the last 12 months. Dur ing August, the top mopth in mult production, dairy process ing plants in the State received 11,869,970 pounds of milk. This is 1,836,930 pounds more than the 1941 August receipts and is1 the largest on record. Arey said that die annual cat tle sales featured , by the state Ayrshire, Guernsey ,and Jersey breeding associations in 1942 were tops. Through these sales 361 purebred animals, many of them heifers were sold for a total of $72,801.72. At least 380 coWs, most of which were Hoi steins, were purchased from without the State by local dairy men. Tobacco Variety Resists Blackshank Tobacco seed of a new variety Which is resistant to black shank disease are how being distributed through the Tobacco Staaaeh Experiment SitaHfrw at Oxford, it is announced by Dr. fe, D, Baver of N. C. State Col lege, director of the N. C. Agri cultural Experiment Station. Sales arg, restricted to one ounce per farm'. , Dr. Baver said that the new variety of tobacco was develop ed cooperatively by the Experi ment Station, the N/C. Depart taxed with orders for the services and Miss Gordo., that homemakers can help to ease the heavy schedules of these mills by taking extra good care of the housenold linens. She suggests that one of the JSest ways to get good service frbm a sheet or pillowcase is to dis tribute the wear as evenly as possible. “Sheets wear out most quickly where the sleeper’s shoulders normally rest,” the Extension specialist explained. “This wear can be distributed by reversing the sheet occasionally, . jputting the top part at the bottom of the bed. Also, be careful to alternate their use by placing freshly laundered sheets on the bottom of the pile in your linen closet. • “Sheets- not large enough for the bed wear out quickly. When used as undersheets, they may get hard pulling hi an effort to tuck them in. When used as topsheets, they may get yanked at the top as the, sleeper tries to cover his shoulders. “Underslips, the removable covering for pillows, lighten the wear on pillowcases. A pillow case may show first signs of wear where folded. Constant folding makes these places so weak that in time they will split. “Using a sheet or pillowcase as a laundry bag is one of the hardest uses to which it can be put. There is a strain on the sheet where it is knotted to hold in the laundry. If a pil lowcase is used, its seams suf fer the chief strain.” dared. “It first appeared in 1929 on the farm of T. M. Lewis in Forsyth County. Experi ments which led to the develop, ment of the resistant variety were started on Mr. Lewis” farm in 1930. •vdlackshank is widespread now in Forsyth, Guilford, Rock ingham and Stakes counties, and is also present in Surry, Yad kin, Caswell, Person and Pitt counties. It is continuing to spread each year into new coun ties. “It is especially fortunate,” said Dr. Baver, “that a resistant variety was developed before it gained more headway. At the present time it is recommended that this variety is grown only on blackshank infested soil.” IN OKLAHOMA Will Rogers Field, Okla., Jan. 7.—Sergeant Carroll M. Ricks, formerly of Wallace North Car olina, is one of the soldiers sta tioned at this Army Air Force bombardment base. Sergeant Ricks is assigned to a Bombardment Squadron here as an aerial gunner. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Ricks, Wallace, North Carolina. CARD OF THANKS Pvt. D. E. Rivenbark, of Camp Lee, Virginia, wishes to thank his many friends in Wallace for the deluge pf Christmas greet ings mailed him during the 1 Christmas holidays. I are specialist of Be said that Tar Heels have been asked to produce 23,056,-1 000 chickens, exclusive of broil-, ers, and approximately 4,280,000 fryers this year. Brown, who is secretary .and treasurer of the North Carolina State Mutual Hatchery Associa tion. Inc., said that the State has the source of hatching eggs and the hatchery capacity to produce at least 35 million chicks during 1943. North Caro lina has more laying hens than any state in the South Atlantic region. The incubator capacity in the State is approximately 7 million eggs at one time. “When the Mutual Hatchery mercial plants within M' State-.’’ \asji Brown told, also, that the ““She eJSite in 1931 was $1 eggs, whereas in 1941 H was MB eggs per bird per year. Bp 1942 the egg production goal assigned to North Carolina was 65 million dozen, and the Unit ed States Department of Agricul ture estimates that Tar Heel egg producers exceeded this goal by at least 7 million dozen. The Government has called upon North Carolina to increase egg production another 10 per cent in 1943, and to produce 79, 204,000 dozen eggs. Brown pre dicted that this goal also will be exceeded.
