as many plants as you are willing
to take care of.
When the plants arrive, plant
them Immediately or at least get
the roots into the soil even if in
a temporary place. The holes
should be sufficiently large to take
care of the roots without crowd
ing. The plants should be set the
same depth as they were grow
ing originally and only a good top
soil should be used in filling the
hole. The soil should be thorough
ly packed around the roots. Wat
ering is not usually necessary un-
less the soil is extremely dry. If
it is availabl.-, some we'll rotted
stable manure should be worked
lightly into the soil around the
plant. but should not be placed
in the hole with the roots. A small
amount of commercial fertilizer
can also be added in the same
way. This should be followed in
the spring by fairly heavy ap-
plication of fertilizer.

Japs Can Not Hope
To Hold Philippines

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - R -
A food item under civilian ration
ing since April-now is to be used
in the manufacture Of soap, to head
off soap rationing.
Lard supplies have reached
point where government officials
consider it advisable to so divert
considerable quantities and about
100 600, 900 pounds have been al
lotted to soap makers during the
past few weeks by the War Food
Administration.
Lard normally is used only to
very limited extent in soap-mak-
ing or other industrial products.
Plans are being made to make
additional quantities, possibly as
much as 4OO,O00,O00 pounds-avail-
able for soap during the next Il
months. Such ALLEGATIONS would
depend on the availability of sup
plies to meet present civilian ra-
ton allowances and military and
Lend-Lease requirements.

EARLY S0YBEAN
PURCHASE URGED
Farmers Should Buy Seeds
In Time To Assure
Enough Stock

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh
Oct. 17-North Carolina growers
should purchase their soybear
seed supply Tor 1914 at this time
so that they may be assured Of
adequate planting seed, DR.. E. Il.
Collins, State college extension
agronomist, suggested here Satur-
day in discussing plans for more
feed crops next year.
He reported that many acres
OF soybeans, originally planted Tor
seed, have made relatively low
yields because of unfavoraole
weather conditions and that these
soybeans have either been turned
under for soil Improvement or cut
for hay.
In this connection, he also re-
ported that growers have cut their
lespedeza for hay, because of
shortage of feed, and that dry
weather has prevented normal
yields Of lespedeza seed in some
areas.
LAS a result of these conditions,
it is a good guess that rela-
lively large acreage of soybeans
will be planted next year and now
is a good time for the grower to
purchase his supply of Seed" Col
Inns said.
Growers who have good sup
ply of soybeans suitable for seed |
can make financial arrangements
through the county office for the
storage of these beans on the
farm.
