One Example Here's what makes the war difficult to understand: A, newspaper headline says: Am ericans Catapult Ten Miles Inside Reich," but the fact was that our soldiers made a three-mile gain. The ten miles represented the progress of our troops into Germany for a num ber of weeks. Forgotten Taxes Something like four million Am ericans have forgotten to pay the United States Treasury the unforgiv en part of their income tax on 1942 earnings and the Bureau of Internal Revenue is calling the matter to their attention. When Congress switched to the so called pay-as-you-go system it sought to avoid requiring taxpayers to pay two years' income tax in a single year. Consequently, it "forgave" 75 per cent of the tax due on 1942 in comes, which would have been pay able in the year 1943. The one-fourth of the tax was not forgotten by the government was made payable in two years, last (March 15 and the next March 15th. Some of the defaulting taxpayers are no doubt confused by the complexi ties of the vaunted simplification of income tax processes but they will have to pay just the same. To Save Now Is Wise Roger W. Babson points 'out that the people of this country are today spending seventy per cent more than they did in 1939, although the cost of essential living has gone up only twenty per cent. The statistician says that since 1939, the increase in spending near ly corresponds with the increase of the average weekly earnings of our domestic population and questions whether this "reflects shrewd family planning." jj' It ought to be recognized by every American that we are living in ab normal years, with a super-abundance of money, due entirely to the war-time spending of the govern ment. If history repeats, there is ahead, inevitably and unavoidably, a period of recession, even if it is caused by nothing more than the ces sation of unlimited government spending. Under such circumstances it would be the part of wisdom for individuals now enjoying incomes larger than usual, to make a desperate effort to save some of the easy money in or der to be prepared for the tighter times that will arrive. Not only will the individual be able to buy more with the money when the recession comes, but, by postpon ing expenditures, he will assist the government in preventing inflation. There is a scarcity of certain goods and, despite the price control, cpn siderable commerce on the black market, which flourishes only be cause Americans are willing to pay extra-legal prices for immediate pos session of what they want. Mr. Babson, suggests that the cost of essential war-time living has gone up only twenty per cent. This means that the buyer must pay today $1.20 for what $1.00 used to buy. If the expected recession arrives, and prices go down twenty per cent from what they were in normal years, the man who saves $1.20 today will be able to buy goods to the normal value of $1.50 in normal times. Mathematical experts can figure this out. The increased buying power amounts to twenty-five per cent on the' money saved. This is not a small gain for those who act wisely and patriotically today.

Farm Safety Rules Must Be Followed Emphasizing the fact that keeping fit on the home front is equally as important as keeping fit on the war front, F. S. Sloan, farm labor super visor for the State College Extension Service, points out that every farm worker must recognize and observe certain essential points in farm safety. In the first place, he says, no one should attempt to go out from town or office to do heavy farm work who has not first had a thorough physical check-up to be sure he is fit for the job. To this, the farm worker must add the proper amount of sleep each night, and wise eating habits. In carrying out the work on the farm, the new worker should wear ' comfortable clothes loose, sloppy and ragged clothes are dangerous around farm machinery. The farm worker should also learn to work the rignt way, which includes such simple, but important details as keeping one's balance on ladders, avoiding haytime hazards, practicing safe tractor op eration and using care in working with livestock. Even in carrying out farm repair jobs, Sloan says, there is a margin of danger that every farm operator should recognize. He should put special emphasis on using the right tool for every job, using only tools that are in good condition, and prac ticing the right procedure, in using every tool. anese. Never have they been more frustrated than in the long months when Bataan and Corregidor could not be relieved. Never have they been more indignant than when hear ing of the enemy's treatment of pris oners in the Philippines. All these emotions swell up now in the trium phant return to Manila participated in by soldiers and reported by news men who shared the defeat three years ago. But it is not only to Americans and Filipinos that the Manila story car ries special meaning. All through the Far East it is read as a symbol and a signal of freedom to come. To the generals in Tokyo it spells col lapse of their island empire. And not merely in a military sense. For the failure of the Japanese to win H T.'l t 1 I uie r iiijjiuus now muue ciear , typifiies the evaporation of their "East Asia Co-Prosperity" dream. On Javanese farms, in the jungles of Burma, - around the oil wells of Sumatra, the news from Manila will be heard. The return of the Am ericans and the joy of the Filipinos will be understood. All Asia will know that the Japanese have failed both as conquerors and as' friends. Christian Science Monitor. Suggestions For High Corn Yield Suggestions for maximum corn yields, based upon Experiment Sta tion tests, are given by Dr. E. R. Collins, in charge of Extension ag ronomy at State College. He suggests that the grower take an acre of good land, normally pro ducing about 20 or 30 bushels per acre: have the soil tested for lime, and anolv lime where recommendea Lay off 12,446 feet of row, with th rows 3 feet apart. Prepare a good seed bed in the usual way. use a well adapted corn hybrid or a local variety and plant enough seed to get the desired stand. If the corn follows tobacco or cot ton, use 300 pounds of 6-8-6 or 5-7-6 fertilizer per acre. If the corn is in. rotation with small grains and le gumes for seed, or where legumes are turned under, apply 300 to 500 pounds of either of these fertilizers. If the com is in rotation with pea nuts or legumes for hay, apply 300 to 500 pounds of 4-8-8. The number of plants per acre Is most important. For yfplds up to 50 bushels, space plants 24 inches in ZVt foot rows; 50 to 70 bushels, 21 inches; and 75 to 100 bushels, 16 inches. This gives 6,000, 7,200 and P.uS! plants per acre. . For yield increases of 25 to 6 bushels per acre, apply 60 to 80 pounds of nitrogen per acre. This amount of nitrogen can be obtained in 375 to 500 pounds of nitrate of soda or 190 to 250 pounds of am monium nitrate; also, from other quick acting nitrogen materials. Where hay or legumes have been removed, on peanut lands, and on pot ash deficient soils, apply 100 pounds of muriate of potash per acre along with the nitrogen as a topdresser. Use weeder until corn is 6 inches high, cultivate shallow and then stop cultivation, when corn is about 24 feet high. Do not use turning plow or bull tongue. Determine location of roots at each cultivation and be governed accordingly. 1944 Peanut Croo i Virtually Sold Practically all farmers' stock pea nuts in North Carolina and Virginia have been sold, according to L. Ma rion Dilday, farm crops specialist with the State Department of Agri culture. "Except for cleaned goods, very few peanuts are available for ship ment other than on priority orders to manufacturers holding contracts I for peanut products for the armed I forces, and to candy manufacturers who must set aside 50 per cent of j their five-cent candy bars for deliv ery to men and women in the military service," said Dilday.
