More Tin Cans Needed

Although a lot of women are cOnscl-
entiously saving all of the tin cans that
come into their kitchen, the War Produc
ton Board claims that two out Of every
three cans are still being thrown away.
We doubt if the waste in our town is that
great but undoubtedly there are many tin
cans used here which never do get turn
ed in.
The government is making drive to
double the collection of tin cans and has
set a goal of 4OO0OO,00O cans a month.
1t may be difficult for some of us to
realize how the few cans we use can be of
much use to the war effort But govern
ment statistics show that enough steel is
used in the tin cans going into American
kitchens to make $4,000 medium tanks or
900 destroyers In addition, our nation is
absolutely dependent on the return of cans
for it's vitality needed tin supply.
1t may be nuisance to save tin cans
and prepare each one for collection, but it
is certainly very small thing to ash of the
housewife when it means SO much to our
war production program.
The government hopes to keep this col
lection on a voluntary basis rather than
require that tin cans be turned in in order
to purchase new goods in tin containers
But from now on it will emphasize more
than ever that throwing away tin can is
a decided unpatriotic act.

Ships For Farmers

To farmer located miles from any sea
coast, who has no difficulty in finding
market for his produce, it might seem to
matter little whether our nation does or
does not have big shipping industry after
the war.
But actually the future prosperity of
our whole farm population is probably de-
pendent on the activity Of our postwar
merchant marine Today, our farmers are
breaking production records each year.
Because of Lend-Lease and the demands
of our armed forces the supply Of food is
still not great enough to meet the demand.
But after the war, when our farmers
will have all sorts of new machinery avail
able and will be able to make this years
production record look like nothing at all,
the only way they will be able to profit by
such production will be to have bigger
world market than ever before.
If we have the ships to carry farm pro-
duce to all corners of the world the farm
er is apt to enjoy a scale of living un
dreamed of in the past. But if we don't
have the ships-and are forced to depend
on the domestic market-the farmers
prospects of golden age will vanish into
thin air. -"

UNIV WORKERS ARE
STILL ON STRIKE

(Contlrued from Page One)
continued suspension of work is
tacitly understood to be in effect
unless contrary instructions are
given.
Interviews in the mining re-
g1ons strongly supported the be-
lief that most Of the miners would
stand by this traditional policy.
Coincident with his restriction
on household deliveries, Ickes
froze 100000 tons of soft coal
on trains and ordered it divert
ed to industrial users whose sup
plies are running dangerously
low. He indicated nationwide
coal sharing may follow if the
pits aren't returned quickly to
full operation.
IF the coal situation does not
improve quickly it may be ne
cessary to call on householders
who have more than normal sup
plies of coal in their bins to share
their stocks with less fortunate
neighbors.

HALLOWEEN STILL
CELEBRATED
The Skyland Post

Best regards,

Regardless of what sober
minded people think about it.,
there are some traditions and
customs that people follow in
time Of war, famine, and pestil-
ences Of all kinds. Some of these
traditions are commemorate while
others are less SO.
AS to Halloween, while it was
probably first celebrated in a
dual sort Of way, it seems to have
often been carried to excess in
some ways and in some instances,
this excess still continues.
It is conceded that some sort
of depression from the ordinary
grind Of life is not only allow
able, but is necessary for the hap
piness Of individuals, but it is to
be regretted that many fail to
know just when to stop.
1t is conceded that little non
sense now and then is relished
by the Wisest men, but not so
many Solomons will consent to
condone things which are really
injurious to either individuals or
collections of individuals. Prob
ably one of the most dangerous
and uncalled-for things is the
tearing down of fences and OBJ
structing of highways, thereby
endangering the lives of individ-
uals.
1t is hoped that all people will
be more thoughtful on all holi-
days and other days which are
set apart for any sort Of celebra-
ton. 1t is not to be thought that
many people would do anything
on purpose that would harm the
other fellow, but our observation
proves that mere THOUGHT
LESSNESS often terminates in
many tragedies that little fore
thought might avert.

American Air Lines
Cooperate

American leaders of air transport be-
lieve that after the war this nations in
terests will be best served by strong CO.
operation between the various lines oper-
ating in this country, in order to meet the
competition of foreign lines or combina
tons.
Free and open competition on world
wide basis, subject to reasonable govern
ment regulation is the goal set by Ameri-
can air lines. Thy urge that government
plans be based on: Private ownership and
management; fostering by the government
of the United States of a sound worldwide
air transportation system; freedom of
transit in peaceful flight worldwide; ac
QUESTION of civil and commercial outlets
required in the public interest.
This nation will need an air Transport
tation system linking all sections of our
country with trade areas of the world for
postal service, commerce and national Sc
curity. Undoubtedly years of information
al discussions lie ahead on this subject
But the fact that leaders in American COM
mercial aviation are broadminded enough
to take the initiative in cooperative ap-
proach speaks we'll for the success of con-
tinued air supremacy for our nation.

Dear Editor:
Enclosed $500. Please for
ward Post by mail. l have en-
joyed reading it for the past
years, though L never subscribed
before. It is surely nice to read
about old friends you knew 20
years ago, and I do compliment
you on a very nicely arranged,
neWsy paper. The best ever in
Ashe county, I think.
How is your labor problem
there? I am employed by the
Puget Sound Navy Yard, at Bre-
merton, Washington. There is at
present a great need for men and
women, girls and boys, over Is
years of age, at the yard, build
ing new ships, and repairing the
ones that have had their chance
at the Japs. 1t gives you a real
thrill to walk over the decks, and
up and down the hatch ways, re-
pairing and rebuilding a better
ship for the boys out there, so
wish to take the opportunity to
extend to my friends in Ashe
county, any information they
would wish. If any one of them
would like to come to the beau
tiful northwest, the wages are
good. The Government has pro-
vided excellent home, with
schools, stores, and recreation. It
is only one hour to Seattle by
ferry, operating every half hour,
for l6 hours a day
| would like to see many of the
Ashe county people come here
for work,

Tax filters

Congressman would all be much hap
pier if they didn't have to do anything
about a new tax bill this year. For any
new taxes which they pass will apply in
1944-and 1914, as we all know, is major
election year.
But since it is fairly we'll agreed that
more taxes are necessary to stave off in
flation, the big question is what new taxes
would be least destructive to votes.
The treasury department, after admit
ting that four-fifths of our national in
come now goes to people earning less than
$4,000 a year, offered a plan for putting
most of the additional taxes on the other
fifth. That might be considered smart
politics since the votes of the one-fifth
are of minor Importance even con-
gress couldn't quite agree to an approach
so totally lacking in subtlety.
A national sales tax-under, which peo-
pie would be- taxed according to the
amount of goods they purchase-was Of
fered as means of fairly distributing new
taxation, but labor leaders have made it
clear that they will demand higher wages

Beef Cattle Need
Several Pastures

Good pastures, both permanent
and temporary, are the basis for
economical beef production in
North Carolina, says L. l. Case,
Extension animal husbandman
at State College, in his new bulle-
tin on raising beef cattle.
He points out that there should
be several pastures for the pro-
per handling of a herd Of cattle
because it is advisable to Segre-
gate animals of various ages and
sexes at certain times.
He notes that good permanent
pastures are found only on fer
tile soils which are heavy and
we'll supplied with moisture. Fer
tilization is especially important
for pastures and Case recon-
mends that soil tests be made to
determine what fertilizers should
be applied.
For Piedmont and Mountain
soils, experience has shown that
5 pounds of Kentucky blue grass,
5 pounds of redtop, 5 pounds of
orchard grass, l to 2 pounds Of
white clover, and Is pounds of
lespedeza per acre is a good mix
ture for a permanent pasture.
For average Coastal Plain soils
a mixture of 10 pounds of Dallis
grass, 4 pounds of redtop, Is
pounds of lespedeza and l to 2
pounds of white clover is recon-
mended.
Under average conditions,
Case recommends that the mex
perienced grower begin with ma
tive or grade females headed by
good bull. AS to the breed, he
suggests that the grower deter
mine which breed suits him best
and is best for his conditions.
The breeding and raising of
registered cattle is a specialized
business and that only a small
percentage of those entering it
make a success.

Extension Circular No. 268, may

cultural Editor, State College,
