DETROIT, Feb. 4. Up Auto
mobile industry experts. concern
ed by the fact that too many motor
lists except an immediate end to
motoring problems with the end OF
the war, stress again that there
will not be a new automobile for
every person who wants to turn
in his old car the day after the
war ends.
Neither. they say, will there be
an unlimited supply of tires, gaso-
line and replacement parts as soon
as hostilities cease.
Urging even greater car con-
version, industry authorities say
that most American motorists will
have to drive their present vehi-
cles through two and possibly three
more winters because the first II
months output after production is
resumed may have to be restricted
to essential users.
The industry expects an accumu'
lated demand for between II, 900, OOO
and 100000 cars-if the war ends
this year. First year production
may aim at 100000 vehicles but
there is no certainty that number
can be assembled.

President Roosevelt tonight desig-
mated March as Red Cross
month"; in a proclamation calling
for contributions to the organiza-
tons 1945 appeal for minimum
war fund of 100000, 1000.
In the proclamation made public
by the White House, the President
said he was "confident in the
readiness of the people to respond
to the utmost of their ability in
support of this organization dedi-
Gated to their services in this
hour of increasing need"
by the very nature of its SER
vices and the principles for which
it stands" the proclamation said,
''the American national Red Cross
is helping to build a world of unity,
and peace and brotherhood, recog-
nizing no barriers of creed and
race"

Auto, Supply Shortage
Seen After War Ends

Tire manufa cturers say tires will
not be bottleneck, but they face
a sizeable task in switching over
on short notice from military tire
production schedules to civilian
programs requiring large volume
of original equipment tires and
perhaps more requirements than
ever before.
Gasoline refiners probably can
switch back to producing normal
quality automobile gasoline with
out much difficulty but distribu-
ton will be a problem.
Similarly the availability Of GER
tain non-functional replacement
parts may be limited. The car in
dustry has been producing func-
tional parts during the war.
Car industry experts still believe
passenger automobiles will come
off assembly lines this year; some
even expect the first models by
midsummer. 1t is hardly likely,
though, that even is production is
resumed by July l, that dealers
will receive floor samples before
the end of the year.
From a year to Is months must
elapse after that before the in
dustry can attain a production level
sufficient to meet the demand for
new vehicles.

Christian Scientists
Hear Lesson On Lore

Love" was the subject Of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
churches and societies on yester-
day.
The Golden Text was from
Psalms 36:7. ''How excellent is
thy loving kindness, o God. there
fore the children of men put their
trust under the shadow of thy
wings"
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon were the
following from the Bible: "Belov-
ed, let us love one another: for
love is of God, and knoWeth God;
for God is love. In this was man
ifested the love of God toward
us, because that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world, that
we might live through him." q
John 4: 7-9).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures, by Mark Baker
Eddy; THE starting point of di-
vine Science is that God, Spirit,
is All-in-all, and that there is no
other night nor Mind-that God
is Love, and therefore He is di-

EXPERT STRESSES
Lime FOR SOILS
nv THOMPSON GREENWOOD
Editor, N. C. Department OF
Agriculture

RALEIGH, Feb. A. up Al
though North Carolina uses more
fertilizer-around $50, Ooo worm
each year-than any other otale
in the Nation, it is far down on
the list in the utilization OF hme,
according to figures just released
by the State Department OF Agrl-
culture.
A report compiled in the depart
ment's auditing office showed that
less than $500, 000 is spent for com
nercial lime each year, thus plac-
ing the expenditure for fertilizer
a about 60 times that for lime.
In the opinion of DR.. J. F. Reed,
associate agronomist with the N.
c. Department OF Agriculture and
tbe Experiment Station. the fertl-
lizer the farmers buys would G
ten be a great deal more effective
if applied on land than has been
properly lined
According to DR.. Reed, tests
recently carried out by the N. Z.
Experiment Station show that
where an application OF phosphate
was made on an acre of land, the
yield remained the same, but that
when lime was applied, the yield
In a pasture crop increased from
1900 pounds to the acre to 1,50o
pounds.
Estimates from the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture are that
North Carolina soils need about
three times as much lime as they
are now receiving.
''This does not necessarily
mean" explained DR.. Reed, that
the soil now being lined needs
three times as much as now, but
more probably that three times as
much land should be lined"
While some fertilizers contain
relatively large quantities of lime
around Is per cent it is usually
a mistake to assume that lime
provided in them is sufficient for
an acid soil, in Reeds opinion.
He declared that the most econo-
mical and practical way to apply
lime is in the form of ground lime
stone; and such lime may be
broadcast, thus practice is freq
uently followed in a system involv-
ing good crop rotation.

than the price for hand-picked cot
ton.
1t is interesting to note that a
new factor has come into the farm
labor situation this year. Hereto
fore, farmers have peen concern
ed about the effects of the draft
or the pull of high wages in wai
production factories. Now the fac
tor of gasoline rationing must be
considered. Tenants who are not
allowed extra rationing must be
considered. Tenants who are not
allowed extra gas for their cars
want to move nearer town SO
that their "A' card will do for
trips for supplies and other neces-
sary items. Those owners who have
farms fartherest from town have,
in some counties, been unable to
interest anyone in farming for
them. It is true that the OPA ra-
ton boards have been looking at
this situation with careful consid-
Grafton but some of the boards in
the larger towns seem to know only
the book of regulations rather than
the more adequate guidance OF
commonsense.
The situation, however, is noe
entirely hopeless on the labor
front. For instance, reports indi-
cate that farm machinery, gener-
ally, has been put into good repair
during the idle days of winter and
is more nearly ready for spring
work than in many a year. Farm
ers also have been taking stock
OF the situation in each local COM
munity and they know to what ex-
tent they can exchange labor in
emergency periods and how small
growers may exchange hand labor
for machinery aid. The neighbor-
hood leaders have taken an active
part in this apprisal of local con-
ditions and have been encouraging
everyone in each neighborhood to
rely upon his own initiative this
year. There is no extra help avail
able from the next neighborhood,
from the next community, or from
the next county. Each farm must
look after itself with what help
it can secure on an exchange basis.
There will be some German prison
ers available and probably some
transient labor, in the main cen
tiers of emergency need, but the
rank and file of farmers will just
have to look after themselves.
They are preparing to do this.
Last year, Cleveland county in
creased it's milk supply by 16 per
cent despite the reduction in labor
Burke county grew one of its best
crops. This county is a good ex-
ample of what people can do when
they come face to face with a
serious problem. This little county
harvested 287, 500 bushels of corr
on 1880 acres of land; saved g.,
900 tons of hay from $500 acres;
combined $4,000 bushels of wheat
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-02-05

Fender county has organized
unique movement to help out IN
the farm labor situation this sea-
son. 1t appears now that the labor
supply for 1945 in North Carolina
will be from Is to 30 per cent under
that which was available for 1914,
and many young men between the
ages of 26 and 81 are much wor-
ried about whether it will be wise
for them to start a crop this year.
They reason that if they are to be
indicted into the armed services
after they have made all plans Tor
a crop, their work will have gone
for nothing because there would
be no one left at home to carry
on the farming operations. In
Fender county, the farm labor as
sistant has tried to meet this situa
ton By organizing what he desig-
mates as Tenant Hunt Program"
There are SO many farms which
will likely lie idle in the county
this season that the hunt is becom-
ing increasingly important. The
idea is to find tenants who are
not needed where they are and to
place them where they are more
vitality needed.
Some tenants have their own
teams, others have no equipment
at all; some want to be near town,
others are perfectly satisfied where
they are; and so on down the list
of the several differences. It is
hard, says the county agent lab
or assistant, to fit the tenant to the
farm. Yet, if North Carolina is to
meet its production of food, feed,
and fiber for this year every avail
able person must be used to the
greatest advantage. L. P. Weeks
OF Duplin county says there are
just not enough tenants to go
around in his county and some
families have moved as many as
four times since harvesting last
seasons crops. To make matters
worse, some landlords are bidding
against each other for the avail
able tenants. Much of this is due,
IN eastern Carolina, to the need
OF labor for growing tobacco. ].
E. Dodson of Brunswick county
says the farmers of his county are
more interested in growing tobac-
co than in all other crops combin-
ed.
Along with other county agents
IN the flue-cured area, Mr.. Dod-
son says many farmers will plant
more tobacco than they can get
harvested, especially if the labor
situation gets worse than it's is now
and he says, cit looks decidedly
as If that will be the case" =,
wilson county, where 70 million
pounds OF bright leaf tobacco was
Sold last season for over 30 million
dollars, the labor situation is es
peclally tight. The cotton crop of
1874 is still not completely picked
with some fields not even touched.
FARMERS are offering one-half the
crop for picking without anyone
apparently interested. In Hoke
county, despairing growers have
oeen using cottonseed forks to har-
west seed cotton growing on low
