PAGE FOOT THE PERQUIMANS WMatLX. HERTFORD, N.'U. FRIDAY APBIL-80, IMS n...: litiUil Here Than Double Perk Production Increasing pork production is all in th day's work on the 148 Farm Se curity Administration borrowers' farms in Perquimans County. Meat rationing may be necessary for the good of the country during war times, but it hasn't stopped these FSA families from trying to do their- part towards adding to the supplies of pork. A review of the records in the FSA Office in Hertford is ample proof of the part small farmers are playing in this all-out food produc tion program. When 148 farmers can increase their number of brood sows from 340 to 496 in one year's time it can mean only increased pork production because farmers don't keep sows for the fun of it The records show that although the sows were increased about one third in 1942 over 1941 that the ac tual nroduction of pijrs for these families was increased more than double. In 1941 they produced 2131 porkers and in 1942 they produced 4,884. In spite of last summer's dry weather and a short corn crop, the actual weights of those produced in 1942 were heavier than the 1941 pro duction, making even more meat. According to the records these 4,884 pigs made 976,800 pounds of pork and lard. Most of it went into the channels of trade to feed our sol diers and allies. Miss Marian Mor row, who is the FSA Home Super visor in Perquimans County, figured out the families' pork needs to be 68,800 pounds. This left 908,000 pounds available for sale which Hous ton Edwards, the FSA Supervisor, thinks is some kind of a record for 148 small farmers. Miss Morrow's job is to assist these fanners' wives in better all around home practices. However, she said, that according to the amount of meat fed service men this surplus would feed 2,697 soldiers all the meat they needed for a year. This increased pork production was made possible through the advice and financial assistance these families obtained through the Farm Security Administration and just goes to show what can be done by small farmers who a few years ago had to call on the Government for help but are now showing what loyal citizens they can be by coming to the aid of the Gov ernment in its need of increased food production. PROCTOR TIPPELL The marriage of Miss Dorothy Mae Tippell, of Norfolk, Va., to Lloyd J. Proctor, son of Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Proctor, of Perquimans County, took place Friday afternoon at 5:30 o clock, at the bride's home. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. P. Rowland Wagnor, pastor of Cen tral Baptist Church. The home was decorated with cut flowers, ivy and candles. The bride wore a Navy blue suit with Navy and white accessories. Her corsage was of orchids. Miss Virginia Baum was maid of honor and the bride's only attendant. She wore powder blue with matching accessories and her corsage was of red roses. m& The bridegroom had as his best man Ryland Shipp, of Norfolk, Va. Following the ceremony, a recep tion was given at the home of the bride and later Mr. and Mrs. Proc tor left for a northern wedding trip. TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N. C.

Ceilings On Fresh Vegetables Retail ceilings for cabbage, carrots, lettuce, peas, snap beans, spinach and tomatoes will be established begin ning April 22 through the use of uni form mark-ups over the retailer's net cost, according to OPA. For each vegetable except cabbage, the retail er will determine his ceilings by multiplying his net cost by 1.39. On cabbage, where spoilage is greater, the mark-up is 1.65 for independent retailers having an annual volume of $250,000 or less, 1;54 for chain re tailers with an annual volume under $250,000, and 1.50 for any retailer with an annual volume over $250,000. Retailers will determine their ceilings each Thursday by applying given mark-ups to the net cost of the vegetable based on the largest single purchase of the preceding week. Exempt Small Sales Bly Farmers A farmer who sells not more than $75 worth of foods per month to country shippers or to consumers is exempt from price control recently established for seven fresh vege tables. If the farmer is a country shipper, he is subject to the price regulations. Higher Support Prices Support prices for dry beans, dry peas, peanuts, soybeans and flaxseed have been raised, according to the war food administration. Payments have also been announced for Irish potatoes and truck crops for produc tion between 90 per cent end 110 per cent of farm goals. - Revised Tire Regulations Tire rationing regulations have been tightened to prevent bootlegging and violations of tire inspection re quirements. Changes ordered by OPA are: (1) Tire inspection record must be kept in the vehicle while it is in operation. (2) Tire inspectors will report serial irregularities to the local rationing board. (3) If an ap plicant does not have a tire inspec tion record showing all inspection re quirements completed, the local board may grant his application if an in spection was made 60 days before the application was filed. (4) Dealers need not hold tires turned in for 30 days as now required if, before that time elapses, the tires are examined by an OPA representative and their disposal authorized. Fuel Oil For Canning Housewives are assured of enough range oil or kerosene for their home canning. OPA has authorized the granting of fuel oil rations for oper ation of oil-burning cook stoves used for home canning purposes. Local rationing boards have been instruct ed to issue necessary ration coupons if the consumer asks for ten gallons or less. If more than ten gallons is needed the ration will be determined according to the number of hours the stove will be used. BETHEL CLUB MEETS m..i fr x rt t - Loss In Home Gardens The Bethel Home Demonstration Club met Friday afternoon with Mrs. S. M. Long. In the absence of the president, Mrs. J. (J. Hobbs, vice- president, opened the meeting, the members singing "America, the Beau tiful." The members answered at roll call with suggestions for ii proving the lawn. During the business session it was decided to change the hour of meet ing from 3 o'clock to 3:30. Members were asked to attend the District meeting at Harrellsville on April 29 In the absence of Miss Maness, Mrs. W. P. Long had charge of the oroeram. the theme of which was "Clean to Save." Seven members modeled dresses they had made. During the social hour Mrs. S. M. Long conducted two military con tests with Mrs. Reuben Stallings and Mrs. E. J. Proctor winning prizes. The hostesses, Mrs. Long and Mrs. W. E. Curtis, served a salad , course and drinks to the. following members: Mesdames W. D. Perry, J. C. Hobbs, R. S. Chappell, E. I Goodwin, W. P. Long, Reuben Stallings, Joe White, Vashtl .White, J. P. Ward and E. J. Proctor. Misses Gertie Chappell and Root-knot, often called "Big root," causes considerable losses in farm home gardens every year, and How ard R. Garriss, extension plant patho logist at N. C. State College, urges growers to protect their vegetable crops against the attacks of the mi croscopic eel-worms, which cause this disease. He suggested a rotation of the garden site to new land, if possible. Also, that the grower watch espec ially the tomato, pepper and cabbage plants, which he sets, to see that the roots are clean and have no galls or swellings. As a protective measure, no peelings from infected potato, car rot, parsnips, or other root crops should be thrown upon the garden site. Adequate fertilization also will pro mote good root growth and will help the plants to better withstand a part of the root-knot damage. Pure ani mal manures and commercial fertili zer do not carry eel-worms. These pests enter the roots of the plants to cause the trouble. Garriss pointed out that beans, as a group, are susceptible to root-knot, but that the half-runner beans of the Refugee type are vigorous enough to make a good yield in spite of root knot attack. Sweet corn, field corn, and the Porto Rico and Jersey varie ties of sweet potatoes are relatively resistant to the disease. A tolerant pole bean is Alabama No. 1. Some highly resistant crops like velvet beans, crotalaria, wheat, oats or rye can be planted in the garden, vvl.ere rotation is practiced, Garriss suggested. citizen but need not be resident of New York State.
