THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1942 TIRE QUOTA IS FURTH ER REDUCED^ The tire quota for the county is further reduced, with the fbllowing allotted for. September: Passenger • cars: new- tires, 3; recap, i 27; tubes, 15; truck: new, . 33; recap, 35; tubes, 30. The following letter ac » eompanied the quota: ; “Attached is tire quota for September. In accord ance with advice earlier in i the month, you will note ,- a material reduction over August quota. > “With no relief in sight, i it means more than ever | that tire should bo to “Top Essentials Only”. We will experience difficulty, in my | opinion, takinf care of the ,!most essentials. Your limit red quotas give you very few tires' to be allotted to eligibels in the “B” classi fications. “It might be well tcFac ! quaint the people in your community through your local paper or radio of this acute situation. This will, in ‘ away, give these in the “B” classification an oppo rtunity to make other ar rangements. If we are to win this war, we must be | gin now to make some real sacrifices.” W. M.

SEPTEMBER SUGGEST IONS FOR BEAUTIFY ING THE HOME Jon H. Harris, Extension landscape specialist of N. C. State College, offers the following home beautifi cation sugpestions for the month of September: Transplant iris. Remove part of the top to keep the plant in a well balanced condition. Remove and burn iris foliage that is in fected with leaf spot. September and October offer a good time for plan-j ! ting peonies and remark-' ing lily-of-the-valley beds. The ground should be prepared for pulb planting.; Manure should not be used iin the ground with the bulbs. Use three to four j pounds qf a complete fert ilizer, such as 6-8-6, per 100 square feet. * As soon as gladiolus fol iage turns yellow, dig the bulbs. Allow them to dry in the sun, and then re move the tops, clean the bulbs, and store them in a cool dry place. Pick gourds before frost j if they are to be used for; winter decoration. Store in a dry place. -Sow the seed of the fol lowing perennials now and give them protection dur ing the winter: Candytuft, coreapsis, baby’s breath, and tritonia. Harris also pointed out that the last of September and the month of October! are ideal for sowing lawns.' Italian ryq grass should fcH seeded at the same time, i For best results, the rye! grass should be raked or harrowed into the soil and liberal applications of man ure or commercial fertiliz er made.
