InGissCuiisiiigtion
Since Curfew Orde
Gasoline Stations Re
port Easing: of Sales
During This Week
Gasoline distributors of Perquim
ans County report that there is little
difference to be noted in the gasoline
consumption in the county since Har
old Ickes, Co-ordinator of the Oil In
dustry, asked for the voluntary clos
ing of all service stations from 7 p.
m. to 7 a. m., each day. .
Reports from some of the Eastern
States affected by the threatened
shortage of the motor fuel show that
gasoline sales are off in that section.
Baltimore, Maryland, reports sales
off some thirty percent, but for the
most part, reports tend to show that
gasoline sales are continuing about
the same as they were prior to the
service station curfew.
j Here in Perquimans, during the
. first week of the curfew, gasoline
.sales rose to a high mark, believed'
to be due to the fact that some peo
ple were buying extra amounts and
storing it, but during the first two
days of this week, the second of the
voluntary closing on the part of the
stations, the trend seems to be nor
mal. At least, in some cases, the
sales were returning to the same
proportion as of weeks during July,
before anything had been said about !
the c os no- of Rtatinns.
J,
H. Towe, distributor of Sihclair;
J. E. Winslow. distributor for Pure
Oil, and D. F. Reed, Esso distribu
tor, all stated that they believed the
movement was having little effect as
far as saving gasoline in this county.
Just what the next move will be,
providing the curfew does not do the
work of preserving the gasoline sup
ply, is still a dark secret, although
Secretary Ickes has warned that it
might be necessary to ration the gas
oline to pleasure cars.

paign is under way from August 7 s
through .15 to impress housewives,
and others with the fact . that they .
should 'make. ,the most economical
use of a bountiful supply of this deb "
cious fruit. Home canning is one .or
the approved methods.' a v "
"It is quite simple to do the home
canning. Directions may be obtain-
ed from county home demonstration
agents, State Extension' Services,
the Georgia-Carolinas Peach Market
ing Board, Macon, Georgia, and other
sources.
"The Elberta peaches, famous yel
low freestone peaches, are now mov
ing to market in quantity and in' fine
quality. They are ideal for home
canning, preserving, cooking, pick
ling, and dozens of other uses, say
peach experts. " Also they are deli- '
cious and healthful when eaten fresh.
"Every housewife should stock up
with a good supply of fresh peaches ,
now while the short season lasts." T
Neutral Fertilizers
Increase Yields Of
Potatoes And Cotton
v
Plots of Irish potatoes, sweet po
tatoes and cotton that have receivea
neutral fertilizers have consistently
out-yielded those receiving acid fer
tilizers in tests h.a-.e t, the North
Carolina Extension oerv.ee, says E.
C. blair, Exte:iS-on agronomist at
State College.
t With sweet potatoes, the returns
from neutralizing the lertilizer in-
reased as the potash was increased
in the mixture. These increases were
M ibushels H thve " 5"
"lu yvuutu,
11.1 bushels for
i "r i
6 per cent more potash, and 14.2 . '
bushels for nine per cent more pot"-'
ash, Mr. Blair reports. r
Neutralizing fertilizers with dolo- V
mitic limestone, in similar tests, has '
increased the average yields of Irish
potatoes as much as 23 bushels to the
acre. Basic fertilizers have produced
increases up to 46 bushels, Mr. Blair
adds. '.'',
The results of these tests for thec
successive years with " acid, neutral
and basic fertilizers applied on the
same plots-have indicated' no potato
scab infestation resulting r? from the
neutral or basic fertilizers.
Cotton yields, in the same experi
ments, have shown increases of more .
than a half-bale to the acre by the .
use of neutral fertilizer.
Yields of Irish potatoes in Bladen
fine, sandy loam were increased 83 .
bushels to the acre by the use of f
neutral fertilizer, over the yields of
potatoes which received acid fertili
zer. In Norfolk sandy loam the neu
tral fertilizer brought an increased
cotton yield of 266 pounds to the
acre over cotton produced with acid
mixtures.
