BE CERTAIN YOU AD DRESS IT CORRECTLY Overseas Christmas Pack age Mailing Period is Sept. 15—Oet. 15; Navy Postal Service Prepared to Handle 25 Million Packages Navy Christmas packag es will travel farflung dis tance to Attu and to Tulagi, to Oran and to Saipan, to Naples and Cherbourg. . . . to every ship, every out post, and every beachhead held by Navy, marine and" Coast Guard personnel. They will travel through a variety of climates; they may easily travel 10,333 miles by truck and by train, by convoy and by amphibi ous craft, by plane and by hand; and they may be re handled innumerable times before they finally reach the men for whom they are intended. In the delivery of Christ mas packages to men over seas, these are the elements involved. 1. Distance —means time and handling. 2. Fleet Combat Opera tions means diversion from course and delay. 3. Correct Ad d r ess— means direct delivery. Last year 15 per cent of all Christmas packages were delayed due to an incorrect address. The delay—6o days to 6 months. To make sure that the package for your man ar rives intact and in time, to make sure that you are facilitating its delivery, here are three things you can do: 1. Address it correctly. 2. Wrap it securely. 3. Mail it on time. The mailing period is Sept. 15 —Oct. 15, one mon th to mail an estimated 25 million packages to blue jacke s, marines, coast guardsmen—almost four times the volume of pack ages bandied during Christ mas 1943 for men "overseas. The earlier you mail, the better. This mailing period does not apply to Christmas ■ ■■ NOTICE After September lu, 1944 the price of a yearly subscription' to THE YANCEY RECORD will be advanced from the present rate of SI.OO per year to $1.50. Please send in your new subscriptions or renewals as promptly as possible so that you may have the advantage of the lower rate. This change is made necessary by increased costs of materials and production. , Since 1940 we have sent the paper to members of the Armed * Service free upon request. Some of these have been paid for from the first ? and recently other parents and friends have paid for some of these subscriptions. For papers to members of the Armed Services the price will remain SI.OO per year. THE YANCEY RECORD ■ ' i ■ • y • ; \ ■ ;'i| | iv" i i r ■ BOND PROGRAM UN DERWAY FOR TOBAC CO FARMERS Raleigh, The North Car olina War Finance Commit tee’s drive to raise $28,750,- 000 among the tobacco far mers of this State will re ceive the “fullest coopera tion” of the N. C. Depart ment of Agriculture, Com missioner Kerr Scott has declared. ! 1 r. He said that, tobacco pro-i ducers would be asked to* invest in war bonds five .cents for each pound of to bacco sold, pointing out i that the goal is approxima- ( I tely five per cent of the total of the 567,14)0,000 pounds of tobacco expected to be harvested in North* 'Carolina this season. Scott said the tobacco bond campaign “will mean millions of dollars for the, defense of our country in the war and will go a long way toward making our, farm homes economically! safe in the post-war years, i If the drive proves suc cessful in this State, it will be continued on markets in Virginia, Kentucky, and other states, according to i James. . cards. They may be mailed; during this period or after it, but be sure they are mailed in a sealed envelope in time for Christmas de-l livery. When you wrap your gift,; wrap it securely. There as-e , limitations of weight and i size which must be remem , bered, otherwise, it will not i be accepted by the postal authorities and will involve re wrapping and the possi ble reselection of a gift. These are the rules on the (overseas package size and . ..eight; five pounds in > . eight 1 15 1 inches in length - and thirty-six (36) inches - in length and girth eombin • erl. As an added precaution - against the outside wrap ->->r becoming damaged, in . side the package place a ■ *ag with the address re- I pealed and list of the items < icluded in the package. TIPS ON PLANTING WINHI LEGUMES Winter legumes should be piaijyted after such crops as tobacco, truck, soybeans, or 'cowpea and lespedeza hays, Enos Blair, Ex tension" agronomist at N. C. State College. He suggests that the soil be disced to a depth of 4 inches, rather than plowed, and that the crops be drilled rather than broadcast. Drilling distributes the seed more evenly, saves seed, and often gives a good stand in dry weather where other methods of seeding fail. Blair recom mends that crimson clover he drilled about H* inch deep as with lespedeza. Vetch and Austrian winter peas can be covered about its to 2 inches d:ep as with small grain. | “It is impossible to pre pare a seed bed and plant 1 winter legumes or time as- 1 ter such late maturing crops as corn, cotton, and ■peanuts,” says Blair. “We 1 can, however, resort to ! planting between the rows of the standing crop, i “In the mountains a jvery successful practice is to broadcast the seed be- i tween corn rows at laying- Hy time. Vetch and Aus-' Urian winter peas are broad cast before the cultivator and crimson clover behind it, so that it will not be [covered too deep. Laying-! by time in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain is too early for these seed to be sown but this method can be followed about Septem ber 1. “Crimson clover should be covered with a very light harrow instead of a cultivator. In ridged crops the seeds may be broadcast jiind followed with a middle i burster or ‘cotton plow.’ i This has the effect of plant ing two rows of seed on each cotton or corn ridge. “A still better way is to use a one-horse open fur row drill, that plants three 1 rows in each middle. This implement, however, cov ers the seed too deep to be used for crimson clover. A j corn planter can be used in planting a row of vetch or 1 peas in each middle of 1 peanuts. ” i RUMMAGE SALE - i . A rummage sale will be . held on the square Satur i day, August 26, beginning ■ at 9 o’clock. The Methodist i Society* of Christian Service is sponsoring the sale. THE YANCEY RECO ,D ’ FARM NOTES GROWING SMALL | GRAIN j t ' It is possible for Yancey i county fanners to greatly . increase their small grain , yields by sowing adapted i pure varieties of oa'ts, t Wheat, and Barley. Since • sowing time is near, farm ers should make arrange ments to get their seed now. According to the official : variety tests for production l and other factors, as car ried out by our Experiment Station, the following* are the adapted varieties., of small grain for Yancey county. Wheat: THORNE, very good yields, beardless, very resis-j tant to cold. HARDIRED, good yields, beardless. ' FULCASTER," *an old standard variety, bearded. Oats: LETORIA,. very good yields, cold resistant. STANTON, very good yields, cold resistant. FULWIN, most resistant/ to cold, good yields. Barley: DAVIDSON, bearded, ( good yields S UN R ISE, beardless, good yields. IRDELL, beardless, good yields. When buying small grain ' seed for sowing, be sure to 1 call for tin* one you want by name, staling the vari- 1 ety name such as Fulwin 1 Oats. etc. If in doubt, look 1 on the seed tag attached to 1 the bag. , To get a supply of these seeds for sowing, contact your local seedman, but be sure to state the variety you wish. If you have diffi culty in securing the seed i you want and wish help in finding a supply, call at ors write the County Agent’s Office. If we got a pure variety now and grow it away from other similar small grains, l 'we can keep it pure and not have to buy seed every year The oats listed are win-; ter oats and should be sown in September. They are all! cold resistant and will out 1 yield the spring seeded oats Even if they should winter kill, you can still seed spring oats but winter oats will usually yield double that of! spring oats. We can produce much: of our grain feed with less labor by growing good small grain rather than so much corn. If you need further help, contact the County Agents’ Office. WAR BONDS I -mi.. Ld J2gir V.

PULPWOOD NEEDED FOR WAR AND PEACE ;f’ , ■ With the Allies making [advances in all sectors it is 1 natural that some war workers may become pre maturely optimistic and | start looking for jobs with j more security. However, as our war chiefs have stat ed, this is the time when war production counts most , when any let-down may (prolong the war and cost unnecessary American lives Pulpwood cutters and nroducers am fortunate in this respect. however. The.V| need not become aiarmed at the nrosnect of,an abrupt end of the war. For their iob will continue as long after the '"‘'r as that of any industry. Moreover, there will be no period of unemployment while war machines are re converted to peace-time' manufacturing. The same pulpwood that today makes smokeless powder, supply parachutes and V-boxes tomorrow will make cartons for peace time world trade, many new fiber-base products for civilian use, as well as, the eustomery paper and paper products which are found in every home. No new equipment will be necessary to produce pulpwood in the post-war period although, of course, worn out trucks and tires will be r. placed and mech anical saws may become -more .widespread. Pulpwood offers a war time job with a post-war future. Cut all you can for war today and you’ll be ! prepared for the industrial 'needs tomorrow. j BONDS FOR FREEDOM 1 ■ ■ 1 "" ■ ' - r BRING YOUR FARM PROBLEMS TO - r.. _; ' , Professor S. C.
