500, 900 Is Spent
For Test Farms

Raleigh-The state department
of agriculture has expended ap-
proximately 100000 during the
past IL months laying the foun-
dation for a long-range program
looking to the adoption of agri-
culture in North Carolina to the
needs of the postwar world.
Fred E. Miller. director of the
test farms division for the de-
partment has supervised the ex-
penditure of these funds for new
farms in Ashe, Haywood, and
Washington counties, and for
various improvements in the old
farms.
New cattle will be brought in
to the state-the famous Brown
Swiss breed, which is as large as
the Holstein in size and in milk
production. And the milk of the
Brown Swiss is much richer than
that of the Holstein. These cows
around 10 in all-will be plac-
ed on the new farm at Transou in
Ashe.
The 41O-acre Ashe farm, which
cost $4,000, will be used for the
Brown Swiss, beef cattle, and
sheep.
On the Haywood farm, the
Clark place on the outskirts of
Waynesville, will be placed dali
ry cows and projects to be car
ried out at this station will be
concerned with greater milk
production for the mountain
counties, with poultry, horticul-
ture, and hurley tobacco. This
farm, 800 acres, cost the state
$4,000. Many farms throughout
a half-dozen counties in the
Asheville area were studied in
the search for a farm suitable to
the needs of the experiment sta
ton.
Complaining began at this
new mountain farm several days
ago. All crops now on the place,
with the exception of those on
leased land, have be-
come property of the state de-
partment of agriculture.

OPA BILL SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

Washington-President Roose-
welt signed a bill extending the
Office of Price Administration to
June 80, 1945, but warned that
he may ask Congress to revise a
clause relaxing penalties against
violations because of a fear that
it will increase black market ope-
rations.
81 know that the Congress
was anxious to protect only those
acting in good faith" he said in
a statement. "But 1 fear that the
changes made will weaken and
obstruct the effective enforce
ment of the law. 1 hope that ex-
perience may not justify my fear.
But if it should turn out that the
enforcing officers encounter SER
ious difficulties in bringing chiSe-
lers and black market operators
to book, I shall ask the Congress
to remove the difficulties"

From headquarters came this
statement:
"At the time the Army Air
Force base unit came to N. G.
State base Collage, the Army Air
Force was engaged in a broad
and far-reaching program of ira
lining. But as the mass training
program progressed, pilots, bonn
bardiers and navigators have been
turned out in such numbers that
the Army Air Force now is able
to narrow the base of the train
ing activity. Emphasis now has
shifted from unit training to re-
placement training"

Allied bombing, General H. H

Arnold, commanding general
of the Army Air Forces and re-

in Normandy and Italy, said
there is evidence the Germans
now are using their reserve gas

France, he said, have found
