total acreage devoted to lespedeza
lin North Carolina this year-anc
virtually every year - is greater
than that of any other crop ex-
cept corn.
North Cardinals big lespedeza
crop is now in the midst of being
harvested, and the yield this year
will be around 225 pounds to the
acre, according to estimates made
by the Crop Reporting Service Of
the State Department of Agricul-
ture.
The 1943 production of all varie.
ties of lespedeza grown in this
state is placed by the crop re-
porters at 80, 400, 900 pounds as COM
pared with "a, 100000 pounds grown
in 1912.
Although North Carolina now
ranks at the top in the production
Of lespedeza for commercial use,
such small quantities were grown
in this area 20 years ago that they
were never referred to in the an
rual and monthly crop reports is
sued by the department. But now
the combined annual value of the
hay and seed crops from lespedeza
is well over $12,0O0,0OO.
Despite the fact that production
was larger last season than is ex-
pected this year, there are indi-
cations that more seed will actual

favorable weather conditions a
year ago prevented the saving OF
large quantities of seed.
The reduction in pounds this fall
can be at least partially attributed
to the increase in livestock produc-
ton and the scarcity of grain. With
stocks Of hay comparatively low,
farmers cut a larger portion OF
their lespedeza than is the usual
case for hay. This, together with
tie late-summer brought condi-
tons, reduced the acreage remain
ing to harvest to approximately
1876, 900 acres-15, 900 acres less than
was harvested in 1912.
Since the field loss of Kobe was
relatively heavy last year, this
variety accounted for only 80 per-
cent of the states total lespedeza
production in 1912, against 81 per

CARTHAGE, Nov. 21.-J. Haw
ley Poole of West End, Moore
county, was able to turn his peacf
crop failure into a peanut success:

Extension Service. When Poole:
peach crop was destroyed by fros
this past spring, he decided tt
plant 40 acres in peanuts. Cald

LONELINESS
Possible
By Patricia Lindsay

Since busy women cannot waste
precious time during the day to re-
touch their beauty, suggestions are
In order on how to make the prettiest
you last the whole day through.
Proper appearance and the COR
rect use of makeup are necessities
in the life of all active women. and
care should be taken to avoid con-
spicuousness through too much
makeup, or makeup which Is not
harmonious in shades
For the more lasting effect you
should start your makeup at night
we are advised by a cosmetic firm
which has recently made a few ex-
periments. BY this is meant that
you should condition your skin for
the next day by giving it thorough
cleansing with a sheer textured
cream which dissolves and pene-
trates the CRIME quickly. Cleansing
cream may be applied pretty liberal

moving it with face tissue or soft.
clean linen towel. Do not rub or
stretch your skin when you treat it.
After the cleansing use a rich
emollient night cream to counteract
the drying effects Of indoor heat and
outdoor cold. Such cream is grand
for the sensitive, dry or normal
types OF skin. The girl with the oily
A night cream should be patted
on and left while you go about your
nightly grooming tasks, and then
only the excess need be removed. A
little left on over night does help to
lubrlcate skin in chilly weather.
In the morning you may again
cleanse with cold cream, or wash
with luke warm water and the suds
OF a good lathering skin soap. If
cream is used spank on a little skin
freShener after removing the
cleanser with tissue. This peps up
the face considerably, especially if
the freshener is chilled.
Then apply your powder founda-
ton. A new, popular brand of
foundation must be applied SPAR
lnely. Only three drops are sug-
gested, This is tinted and blends
evenly under your fingers and is the
basis for a translucid complexion
You should strive to obtain a make
up so sheer that your own individual
skin tone can glow" through-the
pasty face is out of vogue.
Use a sheer-Sifted face powder of
the same tone as your foundation
and puff it over the skin with
fresh piece of cotton. Add your
color accents-rouge and lipstick
and perhaps brow pencil-and YOU
are ready to face the world with an
added confidence! And your pretty
face will stay pretty long time.

When We were doing New York a
couple of weeks ago, one of the out
standing milliners told us that she
feared artificial flowers would be
difficult to obtain in the future. Be
that as it may, there certainly is no
shortage of fake Dosies in the Wash
ington stores, no. has there ever
been a season in which they were
more important in our wardrobes.
Most of them are inexpensive, and
II you're clever you can do all sorts
of costly looking tricks that will
vary your costumes and give you an
ensembled air that is the epitome of
chic. Let's start at the top, with
flowers in your hair. We don't
mean just an old, tired daisy tucked
into your tresses nor half hearted
attempt to look gay and springlike
with the aid of one forlorn, phony
rose. Be individual with your floral
misunderstanding copy the ideas of
milliners who have done interesting
things with flowers. Lilly Dache,
for one, has done crest of flowers
which is shaped like a coxcomb, sits
high and is worn from front to back
dipped over one eye. This narrow,
colorful arrangement is ideal for the
followers of the upsWept hairdo, for
1t fits neatly into the smooth part
of the hair between the rolls. Also
from Dache is the lei of flowers, a
bouquet strung on a long ribbon,
the posies worn either front or back,
depending upon whether you want a
snood effect or a halo. This same
accessory can be worn as an effec-
tive necklace on a simple dark frock,
or as new-looking belt You can
follow the Chinese trend, too. with
great clusters of flowers worn over

that will make it look perky and

ingness and your budget will allow.

people leave undone, who keep homes
together, and children from running
wild, who eat poorly that the soldiers
may be we'll fed. and make the sac
riflces that furnish the money on
which wars are fought and won.
Think of yourself as one of these
unsung patriots, for you truly are.
You are doing just as valuable war
work as your mother is doing, for if
she is taking mans place in fac
tory, you are taking her place in the
home. You are taking upon yourself
burdens that are very heavy for such
little tender shoulders to bear.
You are giving up your playtime
and your childhood to serve your
country, and that is just as brave
and fine thing as anything any
general has ever done who wears
medal upon his breast. You are
cooking and scrubbing and cleaning
and taking care of your little broth
ers and sisters and keeping them
from joining the hoodlum gangs into
which so many neglected war chill
dren are drifting.
And. believe me, If Uncle Sam
could know what YOU are doing. he
would pat you on the head. and
say: Bless you, my child. You are
a little Joan of Arc, even if you never
rode charger into battle. for you
are giving your all to keep your
country free, and wish that every
soldier could know about you. Then
he would be sure that no country can
be beaten that mas girl-children in
1t like you"
You ask what more you can do for
your country. For one thing, you
can keep on going to school and try
to get the very best possible educa-
ton you can, for after the war there
is going to be great need for strong,
intelligent women of high principle,
because in their hands are going to
lie responsibilities and duties and
opportunities such as women have
never had before.
Just remember that in three or
four years you will be a woman.
There will be a shortage of man
power because many soldiers will not
come home from the war, and many
others will come back wrecked in
body and mind. And it will be up
to the young women like you to take
their places and carry on. So fit
yourself to do some constructive
work that your country will need
done. And, above all, fit yourself
to be a good wife and mother, for
you will give to your country the
children who will inherit the earth
for which so many have fought, and
bled and died.
