Time to Band Trees
THIS is the time of the year

THIS is the time of the year
when Victory gardeners, shade
tree owners and commercial grow
ers should be reminded to protect
their trees and vines against the
ravages of tree-climbing insects
whose larvae will manifest them
selves later on as the worms and
caterpillars which often complete
ly defoliate trees, destroy fruit,
cause serious tree damage. Band
ing of trees which have not been
infested with sticky substance
that will retain its consistency un-
der all weather conditions is good
protection and very much worth
while. This should be done as
early as possible.

Mismanagement

Feed for livestock is highest in winter when
grazing is limited everywhere and in many
areas does not exist at all. Sound economics
teach that herds Of all animals used as food
should be reduced to a minimum throughout
the winter.
That is the custom in ordinary times when
livestock men operate without artificial re-
straints and controls. 1t is contrary to the
custom in these war times when bureaucracy
has supplanted constitutional government and
the theories of star gazers have replaced
practical experience.
With feed high and hard to get, there is
more cattle on the hoof in the United States
than in many years. With pasturage negligi-
BILE and even swill at minimum, there are
more hogs than meat professors can handle.
And still the rationing of meats goes on with
such restrictions that American housewives
cannot obtain enough to satisfy the normal
requirements of their families.
There is no actual scarcity of meats There
is only blind misnana cement. 1t is remines-
cent of the bunglng in sugar, when refineries
and warehouses were filled so far beyond
capacity that shiploads Of raw sugar were
turned away, and still sugar is rationed.
One big reason for getting this war over
with is to ride the bureaucrats to fall and
get back to the good old principle of supply
and demand. But it will be necessary for the
people TO make certain that when the war is
ended the present prevailing trend toward
fascism in government is knocked higher than
a cooked hat and government by the people
for the people is restored in the land

Local Farm Market

The development of better home market
for farm products of the Wilmington area
could well be among major domestic projects
this year. By offering larger percentage OF
area crops at local stores and encoura ging
homemakers to demand homegrown products,
freight bills would be materially reduced to
the great benefit of growers and prices main
tanned at lower level than is customary
even in peace time.
New Hanover and nearby counties contain
soil particularly adapted, with scientific build
ing up, to the production of record vegetable
crops. By disposing of large part of them
to outsiders who send them to other markets,
truck growers frequently receive too little
money to pay the freight. Offering local vege-
tables at New York auctions has been cost
ly misadventure.
For our own economic advancement and
the financial stability of our farmers we ought
to absorb as much of the vegetable production
locally as the population requires This amount
could be materially increased because of the
steadily growing population.
The war has had disturbing effect upon
our agricultural But the war is in the closing
phases at least in Europe. There is none too
much time left to set up marketing policy
which will be of vast benefit to the areas
farm industry.
Other areas have outstripped Wilmington in
