"Paper bombs” are also pouring, over Berlin, over Navi troops, and to the val iant underground forces of France and other countries! about to be liberated from the Nazi yoke. They are; playing an important role in undermining German morale and in inciting civi lian uprisings. By so doing they hasten the collapse of the enemy and save the lives of American fighting men. These “paper bombs”— even more a product of pulpwood than the block busters —consist of newspa pers, periodicals and pam phlets in the language of the country into which they are dropped. This “bomb ing” is a part of what mili tary men called “psycholo gical warfare”. Pulpwood is needed to keep these “paper bombs” falling on Nazi Europe. Meanwhile pulpwood i s doing its less spectacular job of making containers for food, ammunition and supplies for our own fight ing men and for our Allies. It. still provides the gun powder that fires the bombs and the bullets. It gives our officers new maps as they advance toward Berlin. Keep the pulpwood mov ing to war and thus help hasten the return of peace. Greens from fall gardens' , can do much to help the family build up a vitamin A supply for winter health. Carotene in greens changes into vitamin A in the body. Alfalfa in North Carolina averages 1.9 tons per acre, or more than twice the yield of other tame hays.

I THE YANCEY RECORD B 'S lit*- : _ ■ : I * »|1 - " i i - V SOCIAL SECURITY ] Lump-s urns amounting, in all, to $65,350,000 has been paid by the Govern- s ment on accounts of 450,000 i workers who died leaving J no survivors entitled to < monthly benefits. s D. W. Lambert, manager < of the Asheville office of * the Social Security Board j explained that, under the * . Social Security Act, provis- J lion is made for ont? lump- * sum death payment to cer tain relatives of a worker j who was insured under the * Old-Age and Survivors In- 1 surance system and who 1 died leaving no widow, 5 chikl or other surviviors en- .] titled to monthly benefits. 1 This applies also to deaths I in the armed services where 1 the. deceased had worked in 1 employment covered, by the Act previously for a suffi cient length of time to have an “insured” status. Survivors of an insured) worker who may claim a lump-sum payment, include the widow, widower, child ren, grandchildren, or par ents. If there is no such re lative the person or persons who paid the burial expen ses of the wage earner will be repaid, but in no case will they be paid more than 6 times the deceased work ers primary' benefit. Upon receiving a claim jfor benefits, the Social Se curity Board examines the wage record—or Social Se curity account —of the de ceased worker, concerned. If this account shows that' he had earned w'ages enou igh in covered employment; to justify a primary insur-j ance benefit of-say-S3O perl ; month, then the lump-sum; ■ payment would amount to! i six times S3O or SIBO. Any resident of this areal ; who has reason to believe e-- . .hat he or she is entitled to a lump-sum death payment :or so monthly benefits , should go at once to the of > *e of the Social Security . Board located at 203 Flat > iron Building. Information t on any phase of the pro gram is available a HIGGINS NEWS Mr. And Mrs. Odell Phil lips, Clyde Phillips and Pvt.

LEGUME INCREASE PASTURE CAPACITY The use of legumes in seeding mixtures for per manent pastures produces growth with a larger total carrying capacity, greater seasonal yield, and better quality forage, says Dr. R. L. Lovvern, in charge of forage crop investigations for the Agricultural Exper iment Station at State Col lege. He recommends, however that no grass be seeded on land that will not make as much as 20 bushel- of corn per acre. “Lesped za should be used on such land until the fertility has been increased to allow the growing of grasses,” he ex plains. ‘To maintain legum es in the sod, limestone and fertilizer must be ap plied. Limestone will last for several years but a 500 pound application of 0-14-7 j is needed every two years. Manure is desirable on all pasture soils but especially on eroded areas.” On good to medium soil of the Piedmont, for exam-1 pie, Lowom recommends a* | mixture of 10 pounds of ; orchard grass, 5 pounds of Dallis grass, 15 pounds of lespedeza, and 2 pounds of white clover. For poor to medium soils, he suggests a mixture of 6 pounds of orchard grass, 6 pounds of redtop, 5 pounds of Dallis j grass, and 15 pounds of les- Ipedeza. Experience has shown that it is best to sow orch ard grass, redtop, and white clover in the early fall. Although tests indi cate that Dallis grass may b€ seeded in the fall, it is generally sown in early 1 spring along wjth lespedeza. Since conditions vary throughout the territory, it is suggested that grow ers consult their county ag -1 ents in determining just 1 whai pasture mixtures are ' best for their conditions. r - A new all-time record i meat output, perhaps rea ■ ching 25 billion pounds, is in prospect for 1944.
