Sugar Ration Remains
Same
Sugar rations for home
use will remain the same
for another two and one
half months, according to
the Office of Price Admin
istration- Sugar Stamp
number 30 in War Ration
Book Four becomes valid
on January 16, and will be
good for buying fi v e
pounds of sugar through
the end of March. Sugar
scamp 29, now in use, is
good through January 15.
Plenty of Anti-Freeze
The nation’s motori-ts
ar6 being oversold on anti
freeze and told of shortag
es that do not exist, ac
cording to the War Produc
tion Board. Production of
alcohol anti-freeze for this
winter is 50 percent more;
than last, WPB said, and
asked motorists to watch
their own needs and not toi
overload. Alcohol from
which anti-freeze is made,
is a critical war material.
Use Copper in Tractor
Radiators
Restrictions on the use
of copper in farm tractorj
radiator fins and power,
take-off gears have been
removed by WPB. These
uses of copper, particularly
in radiators, not only will
reduce time of manufac
ture of farm tractors, but!
will ..improve their field
performance- - I
Tire, Tube Supply Still Low
Tire and tube quotas" i for
January reflect the contin
uing shortage. The, quota of
276,629 new truck tires is
13,890 less than the Decern- 1
ber figure, and the quota
of 230,400 new truck tubes
is 27,787 under the Decem
ber figure. Similarly, a
lessening in demand which
usually occurs during the
colder months accounts fol
lower January quotas for
farm tractor and farm im
plement tires and tubes.
The tires quota is 27,600
h Wer by 4,600 than the
December figure, while the
January tube quota is
23,000—lower by 9,200.

TERRACE LANDS IN [
WINTER MONTHS f
\’ f »
l \ During the winter is _ a I
J good time for building ter- I
races and they should be I
-j used on all fields where the j
- slopes are steeper than 4; -
Ijper cent, recommends Dav- •
>i id S- Weaver, head of the; -
i agricultural eng i n eering i I
1 department at N. C. State I
3 College.
\ He points out that terra- ■
- ces reduce the speed of ;
■. water flowing down the ;
s hill, lowering the amount
-jof run-off and the carry
i ing capacity of the water,
r The faster the water trav
-1 els, the more soil ic can
carry, stripping fertile soil
f from rolling areas and de
i- positing it in the stream
a beds or lower flat areas,
t He calls attention to the
- fact that the basic princi
ples of terracing are tha
- same today as when they
i j’were announced by P. H.
j Mangum of Wake Forest
in 1895- Some changes
j have been made in' meth-
I ods of terrace building but
the principles remain the
j same.
i “Many counties have
terracing units, which have
J rendered valuable service,
[ and increased interest has
| been shown in terracing in
j recent yegrs, but still there
j are many thousands of
; acres which should be pro
| perly terraced,” Weaver
says.
i Terracing, c ombi ne d
with cover crops and prop
er crop rotations, ca n f
greatly increase yields and
improve, the value of lands
s that are now losing more
• and more of their top soil
each year.
* Proper terracing requjr
. es the services of a man
i trained in the use of a
' modern level. Not only is
the proper lay-out of the
I terrace essential but it
must also be properly built
land maintained. “Terra
ces too small in cross sec
tion and without sufficient j
carrying - capacity may,
prove to be more harmful 1
than beneficial,” Weaver
] says.
Farmers wishing help
| with their terracing pro
i blems should contact their
county agents.

Raleigh, Jan 3.—More
i than 750 students register
, ed for the winter term at
State College, Registrar
W. L. Mayer reported to
day.
The number of students
enrolling exceeded the ex
■ pectations of the college
authorities, Mayer said. He
predicted that approximat
ely 100 more students
would matriculate during
the remainder of the week,
1 swelling the total civilian
i enrollment to about 850. * I
[ State College’s normal
i peace-time enrollment was
approximately 2,500.

tice, to the people of this community. Their suc
cess through the year, and the well being and
development of the community are of concern
and interest to us; and we seek their coppera
tion and good will. *
