it held the act to be unconstitutional.

STEP UP TRUCK PRODUCTION

A four-fold increase in it's 1914 civ

been announced by the War Produc-

ratings equal to aircraft and high
octane gas. Provisions are also made
for production of replacement parts
for civilian use. In spite of the four

The interest and enthusiasm
shown by the Victory gardener can
only be surpassed by his interest
and enthusiasm In conserving
what he has grown. Housewives
who have never cooked before
are canning vegetables over hot
stoves and enjoying it. Instead OF
showing off" the house or a new
piece of furniture to guests, they
are carrying them to the base
ment or pantry and showing of
their canned vegetables.
It is fortunate that this is true
because we cannot afford to let
any food products to go waste. It
you are an amateur in canning, l
would suggest that you write the
North Carolina extension service,
State college, Raleigh, and ask for
the latest information on canning.
would also suggest that you call
or write your local Home Demon
stration Agent and ask her ad'
vice on your canning problems.
In many counties there have
been community canneries estab-
lished for your use. TIL, majority
of these community canneries
are equipped to save you time, Ia
Dor and to give you god pro-
duct. Your County Home Demon
stration Agent or your local ag-
ricultural teacher can tell you
whether or not there is a COM
cannery available. The
growing and conservation of food
this year is a community, state,
and nationwide problem. Do what
you can to help by sharing your
knowledge, your pressure cooker,
and your enthusiasm.

HAWAII USING

Gardeners In Islands Using
Advice Given By N. c.
Service

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
July 1.-THE Garden Guide,
Extension Circular No. 261 of State
college, has been re rinted in Ha-
waii by a fertilizer company and
the gardeners in the islands are
following the North Carolina sys-
tenn of growing vegetables, Editor
Frank H. Jeter of the extension
service said here today.
Copies of the edition, reprinted
in Hawaii, were received in Raj
eigh on Saturday and it was noted
that the fertilizer recommended
tions had been changed to suit
conditions in the islands. Victory
gardeners in North Carolina were
allowed 3-8-7 fertilizer under
government regulations this year
but the grades used in Hawaii
were 8-12 1875, 6-9-5, and 4-12-8.
On the basis of an order Just re-
ceived from Washington, North
Carolina gardeners will be al
lowed to purchase 5-10-5 fertilizer
for vegetable growing next year.
According to the Hawaiian pub
ication, the University of Hawaii,
the University Extension Service,
the County Farm Agents, the De-
partment of Public Instruction,
and the agriculturists on all of the
large plantations are cooperating
in the N',tory garden drive in the
islands.
The Hawaiian publication gave
full credit to the extension service
at State. College for the valuable
information and the excellent set
of 46 photographs which carr IS
the gardener through all the stops
of preparing the soil, applying the
fertilizer, setting 4he plants, cult
waiting the crops, and harvesting.

FERTILIZER VIEW
APPEARS BETTER
Preliminary Report Of
WFA Points To Big In
crease For F arms

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
July 1.-THE fertilizer outlook
for 1914 is brighter and the preli-
minary report of the War Food
Administration points to an in
crease of about 100000 to 1,0oo,-
900 tons more chemical fertilizers
next year, DR.. E. R. Collins, in
charge of Agronomy Extension at
State collegr said here Saturday.
The report shows that there will
probably be more nitrogen and
phosphates, with smaller supplies
OF potash. At the present time,
fertilizer manufacturers are being
allocated 80 percent of last year S
potash requirements.
Farmers are required, as last
year, to make application to their
local dealers for their require
ments. Crops are divided into
groups A and B, and there is one
change in the regulations which
will permit the use of fertilizer
by growers who have not pre-
viouSly used any on crops. Food
crrLs are in group A and such
crops as cotton, tobacco and corn
are in group B.
In addition to application for
fertilizers which growers will use
this fall, the plan provides that
application may also be made Tor
next springs fertilizers. However,
manufacturers, dealers and agents
are required to make deliveries
of fertilizers for A crops before
such deliveries are made for B
crops.
Collins said that a new victory
garden had been provided for in
the regulations. This year garden
ers used a special 3-S-7 grade but
next y~ar a 5-10-5 garden fertili-
zer has been provided for this
territory. Victory gardeners will
also be able to purchase small
quantities of nitrate of soda, am
monium sulphate and ammonium
nitrate to supplement the mixed
fertilizer.

new GRASS TYPE
PROVING ABILITY
Coastal Bermuda Und e r
Test AT State College
Experiment Station

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh
.J,,1v 11.-Coastal Bermuda, a new
strain of Bermuda grass under
test at N. C. State college, has
proven itself superior pasture
type to the col mon variety found
in North Carolina and it is re-
commended fc- the lower Pied
mont and Coastal Plain sections
of the state, DR.. R. L. Lovvorn,
in charge of forage crop investl-
cations for the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, said here today.
He reported tn it has larger
and longer stems, leaves, and
other parts. It keeps green
throughout the growing season, is
resistant to leaf spot, and pro-
duces much larger yields than
common Bermuda. 1t has shown
a slight tendencv to Winterklll
and for this reason it cannot be
for the entire state
at the present time.
The Coastal Bermuda produces
few seed heads and this fact will
make it easier for the grower to
keep the grass within bounds and
prevent it from spreading all over
the farm. On the other hand, 1t
must be planted from root stock,
but a relatively small area WILL
soon product enough roots to set
an entire pasture. -
Lovvorn said that small plot
comparisons have shown that the
new grass yields several times as
much hay as the common kind.
The Georgia Coastal Plain expert
ment station at Tifton has report
ed to DR.. Lovvorn that the Coast
al Bermuda on heavily fertilized
soil has produced 6 tons OF air
dry hay an acre, which was as
good as timothy and well liked
by livestock.
