FARMERS ASKED
TO AID DRIVE
Must Increase Production
OF Wood Products
From Farmlands

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Sept. 19.-North Carolina farmers
are being asked to give their full
support to the present campaign
to increase production of wood
products from farm woodlands to
meet critical wartime needs, &C
cording to G. T. Scott, chairman
OF the State USDA War board.
The campaign is being conduct
ed by the War Food Administra-
ton in conjunction with the U. S.
Forest Service, the State College
Extension service and other agri-
cultural agencies in an effort to
increase marketing of saw logs
and pulpwood from woodlands
other than commercial forests.
In a message to the State War
board, War Food Administrator
Marvin Jones declared that the
need for wood products has be-
come critical in recent months,
and that a large amount of the
extra wood products wanted must
come from farm woodlands.
The campaign will stress only
conservative cutting, that which
will not destroy the growing stock
or future productiveness of the
woodland" Scott said. "Agricul-
ture is one of the nations largest
users of wood products, and farm
ers who are growing food for the
war effort can make a contribu-
tion toward its safe delivery by
conservative cutting and market
ing of timber from farm wood
lands" {

Limestone Use Changes
Farm Practice, Yield

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Sept. 19.-Plenty of limestone with
the use of soil building crops has
revolutionized farming practices
and greatly increased yields on
the farm of Haywood Edmundson
of Wilson County, reports County
Agent ]. O. Anthony to the Ex-
tension Service at State College.
A few years ago the farm was
in run down condition and there
was little organic matter in the
soil. Legumes did not make a very
good growth. According to An
thony, the limestone which was
obtained under the AAA program
gave Edmundson and his tenants
start in the right direction.

LINCOLNTON, Sept. 19.-J. E.
Bradshaw is using his kudzu patch
as supplement to the low quail
tv hog feed he is forced to buy
now. reports Assistant Farm Agent
M S. Roberts of the State College
Extension service.
Three years ago, the Lincoln
County farmer had one acre OF
badly eroded land set in kuozu
crowns. 1t made good growth
and today his ground is well COW
cred.
Bradshaw then installed an cleo
trio fence around this area and
for two months has grazed six to
nine brood-sows on it with no ap-
parent damage to the crop, Rob-
erts says.

TOBACCO TYPE
IS SUCCESSFUL
Black Shank R assistant
Weed Proves 80 to 100
Per Cent Hardy

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Sept. ia new North Carolina
strain of tobacco, bred for resis-
lance to the black shank disease,
was pronounced from 80 to 100 per
cent successful by Experiment Sta
ton officials and growers at a
farmers meeting and tour held in
the vicinity of Reldsville, Monday,
according to Director L. D. Baver
of State College.
On some fields, the black shank
disease had destroyed about go
percent of the tobacco where the
common varieties were grown. On
the test fields, some sixty tobacco
growers had demonstrated that the
resistant variety was from 80 to
100 percent successful. The new
tobacco was of good quality and
appeared to be curing out better
than the common varieties.
Tom Butler, farmer who lives
near Monroeton, summed up mat
tiers by saying, This new variety
surely beats dead tobacco by a
long ways"

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
BY John H. Harris
N. C. State College

Sometime during September or
the first of October, onions should
be started either from seeds or
from sets. Onion sets planted now
will give earlier spring onions
than will sect, but the onions
grown from seed will usually store
better.
The seed may be planted in
boxes and transplanted when they
are to 6 inches high or they may
be planted where they are TO
grow. A finely pulverized and
deep seed bed should be prepared
with a heavy application of gar
den fertilizer or manure worked
thoroughly into the soil. If manure
is used, it should be well rotted
since it might cause the onion bulb
to rot. The sets should be planted
or the seeds thinned out to stand
2 to 4 inches apart in the row.
From standpoint of storage,
such varieties as Sweet Spanish,
Ebenezer, Yellow Globe Danvers,
and Prizetaker should be selected
If a mild onion is desired such
varieties as Sweet Spanish, Vel
low Bermuda and Crystal Wax
should be used.
In many gardens will be found
the multiplier or potato onion and
the tree or top onion. These onions
multiply by the growth of bullets
either under ground or at the end
Of the seedstalk. These onions may
be left in the ground throughout
the year and by planting the bub-
lets at the proper time green
onions can be had throughout the
season,

Myers Chapel Farmer
Gets Big Corn Yield

HAYESVILLE, Sept. 19.-W. C..
Anderson of Myers Chapel COM
munity in Clay County has filled
a silo 10 feet in diameter and %
feet high with silage corn grown
on two acres of land, according to
County Agent G. G. Farthing OF
the State College Extension serv-
ice. Anderson reports that before
he began to fertilize with lime and
phosphate it took eight acres OF
corn to fill the silo half full on a
dry year. These fertilizer mate
rials laid the foundation for in
creased yields of legumes, and
now manure and legumes togeth-
er with the fertilizer bring re-
markable yields of silage corn.

the back Of the cone. This will give
you styled tree form which you
may develop In one Of several ways.
If you have access to evergreen
branches, small sprays of the green
may be stuck through the wire to
make a real green tree. These
should be short full pieces-insert-
ed so that they extend to q uni
form distance. giving neat, trimmed
appearance to the finished product.
1t Is best to start the green sprays
at the base of the tree working
round and round to the top. Tradi-
tional lights and decorations may be
used on this little tree, but It is
more effective If they are placed with
methodical pattern so that the fln-
ished product looks "prim and
proper"
II 1t Is not possible to get natural
green branches, a charming tree
may be done with green crepe paper,
which will look like real evergreen,
or a whimsical, frankly artificial one
made with rufdes of tarletan in
green, or a color that fits into your
room color scheme. II either of
these are used, however, you must
not use either electric lights or can
dies because of the fire hazard. It
Is possible to make the tree Cutlery
without the use Of lights.
II you make a dark-green crepe
paper tree fold the paper the long
way by turning both cut edges to-
ward the middle. Cut through the
middle. This will give you two
long folded strips OF paper. Snip
from the cut end to within / inch
OF the fold. These shaggy bands
form the foliage OF your tree, start
Ing from the base, working toward
the top of the cone, sewing the
paper into place as you go. Decora-
ton may be tinsel balls-and silver
or gold stars with tiny candy bags
for personal interest.
The tree made of tarletan rufies
is made the same way. Cut the
strips Of tarletan about 8 inches
wide. Cut them with pinking shears
If you have them. II not, scallop

straight edge and sew it to the vree.
Clever innovation would be to sew
red and white bands alternately in
spirals to the top. One in a deep
color. such as blue, might be trim
med with the lace edge cut from pa
per doilies and small tinsel balls.
If you have had the bad luck to
have many Of your Christmas tree
decorations broken when you moved
to Washington, don't throw them
away. Powder them finely by roll
ing with a rolling pin. Cut stars
and bells from cardboard. Cover
the surface with glue and sift the
powdered ornaments onto the glued
surface. When dry you will have
charming Cutlery decorations for
your effort.
This year forethought and in
genuity will take the place Of money
spent for hard to get" commercial
products. Gather your family to-
gether and CLEAN all their ideas to
make this happy though different
Christmas.
