Pro duction has remained high in the past few weeks, she added, and generaua supplies of eggs are in prospect through April.

H. a | TEST DRIVE A '50 EORD-IT Will OMK TOUR ETESI Crop Body Buy Dixie 17 Best Coin Performer' Official variety tests in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont re gions show that Ettxle 17 white hybrid corn outyields N. C. 27 yellow but that the latter variety is superior in grain quality, stalk strength, and weevil resistance, the North Carolina Crop Improve - mem Association reported this week. In the tests, which were con ducted from 1947 through 1949, Dixie 1 7 outyielded the best open pollinated white variety by 40 percent. N. C. 27 outyielded the best open-pollinated yellow va riety by 26JL percent In the Pied mont and 21.4 per cent In the Coastal Plain. Both hybrids have Become very popular In North Carolina since 1947 and are replacing older, less desirable hybrids such as N. C. 26 and Tenn. 10. These facts are disclosed In the 1950 editon of "Measured Crop Performance," which contains a report on the official state-wide crop performance tests for ISMS and variety recommendations for 1950. Issued as Bulletin No. 968 of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, the publica tion may be obtained free from the local county agent or by wri ting the Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh. Among the small grains, Atlas 50 and Atlas 66 wheat have shown great promise in the five years they have been under test. Colonial and Calhoun barley va rieties and Arlington oats also have performed well, and a num ber of Coker 100 wilt strains of cotton showed satisfactory per formance on both wilt and non wilt soils. Purpose of the tests is to as semble information on the rela tive merits and performance of crop varieties. Funds are provid ed h" a special act of the. 1941 General Assembly, by comercial seedsmen, and the^Crop Improve ment Association. VA Offering New Artificial Leg After three years of scientifi cally controlled testing and de velopment, Veterans Administra tion is making the suction socket artificial leg available to eligible veterans who have suffered leg amputations above the knee of a character which makes its use medically feasible. VA said that during the past two years, k nad tested more than 500 amptee veterans in tts experimental program on the suction socket leg. Successful re sults were obtained in a great ma Jority of the cases; VA said. This aboveknee artificial leg differs from the conventional ar tificial leg in that it has no pelvic hinges or suspension harness. The leg is held to the stump by moderate suction created in the closed socket each time the leg is lifted from the ground in walk ing. The suction socket leg is de signed to give greater freedom of movement in all directions, ap pears more like part of the body and does away with the discom fort of the pelvic belt (* heavy belt with steel hinge fitted to the waldt). -With the Joint cooperation of the Advisory Committee on Arti ficial limbs of the National Re search Council, University of Cal. ifornia, Orthopedic Appliance and Limb Manufacturers Associa tion, the Army, Navy and other interested organizations, the VA sponsored an extensive program to determine the possibilities and limitations of the suction socket limb. Besides the more than 500 vet erans who were (.esrted In the VA program, a much larger numbei of non- veterans amputees have been fitted with guccearful results by the artificial limb Industry. ?'I**, 1y .-V .W* ' * ?' ' Effective January 18, 1950,- the auction socket leg was made a vailable, upon request, to eligible disabled veterans through the es tablished artificial limb program of the VA. When a new Mmrb la required to replace an unservice able Hmb previously issued to the veteran, the suction socket leg may be selected by the ampu tee upon medical prescription by a surgeon certified by the VA. A list of certified surgeons has been distributed to all VA Regional Of fices, Hospitals and Centers. VA emphasized that no suction LEADER AMONG MEN... Washington knew the im portance of planning.
