with soil, add a handful of COM

is excellent if used as mulch or
worked lightly into the soil around,
but not against the plant.
Better success can usually be
had by buying or transplanting
shrubs that are 2 to feet tall,
fruit trees that are one to two
years old, and shade trees that
are to 8 feet tall. Larger plants
may be used, but they will require
more attention and usually do not
grow fast for the first few years.
1t is a good practice to prune
back all plants from one-third to
cne-half, when they are trans
planted. This pruning should be
done to conform with the natural
habits of the plant.

Carolina F Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER

thing must be done to stimulate
more interest in the crop. So they
raised about $4,000 to hold a con.
test, offering a 500 war bond for
the best cotton production in each
of the II townships and a $500
bond as county prize. Each con-
testant had to grow as much as
five acres and the Extension coun-
ty agent and his assistants were
to visit each farmer entering and
study just what he was doing. Boil
counts were made, fertilizer ap-
plications were studied. and all
the good factors of successful
cotton production were investi-
gated. The agents and their as
sistants on the committee said
they had learned more about cot
ton production during the year
than they ever knew before. They
feel that cotton can be grown sue
cessfully in the county and that
the people know better how to
grow it now that one contest has
been brought to a successful con-
clusion.
Mr. Faynor, the county winner
for 1914, used some of George
Wilds' Cocker 100 for his planting
seed and put it in the ground on
April 10. He Trimmed to about
three stalks to the hill, each II
to ID inches in rows about 8 IL
feet apart, and used 300 pounds
OF fertilizer an acre under the
cotton. The crop was cultivated
six times during the season and
was side-dressed on May 10. The
cotton followed a crop of corn and
soybeans grown the previous year
and was planted in one of the
best fields on the Raynor farm.
Those who saw the cotton be.
fore it was picked said they never
saw so many boles in one field
before. 1t was white. The season
was excellent and dry fall per-
mitted a full harvest.
An even better record was made
IN Scotland county this season
where the growers of that section
completed the fifth contest staged |
to popularize the cotton crop. D. |
D. Wilkinson won the five-acre |
contest by producing 1910 pounds
of lint per acre. But he not only
made good yields on this five
acre plot. County Agent E. o.
McMahan says he picked 1872 bales
from 70 acres and still had some
scrap cotton to be cleaned up. The
81 contestants who finished the
job in Scotland made an average
production of 1882 pounds of lint
per acre and when allowance is
made for the bagging and ties,
this will give an average OF about
two bales per acre for those who
took part.
These good yields are being
matched in Hoke, Halifax, and otn-
sr counties where the growers are
uniting in one-variety cotton inn
orovement campaign being stag
ID by J. A. Shanklin, cotton spe-
'ialist at State College. Appar-
.ntly there is an awakaneing to
he need for more careful ap.
,raisal of the place of cotton in
he farming life of this State. In {
locations are that a great state r
vide cotton contest will be staged v
n 1915 with the cottonseed crush
RS, the ginners, and the manufac-
urers leading the way in provid- il
ng funds for prizes and expenses. s
The State has heavy investment I
n the cotton growing and process. {

CHINESE-AMERICAN TEAM SALVAGES BOGGED BPS
(R Newsfeatures

A SUPERFORTRESS BASE IN WESTERN CHINA-Salvage of B-29 begged on an unused air strip only IT miles from the Jap anese lines along the Yellow river brought a demonstration of team play between Chinese and Amer jeans.
 In the first night raid on Naga- saki, the Superfortress ran into navigational and weather diff culties and barely made the strip which was so soft the plane was stuck in deep hole. For 13 days, Chinese forces guarded the strip while Flying Tigers ranged overhead, bagging 30 enemy planes in the covering operations.
 Meanwhile, Chinese and Amer jeans worked together to bring in gasoline and repair material for the airstrip. Chinese crews buried 4,500 railway ties on the strip to form 300 feet of hard surface and filled holes with rock.
 The plane was stripped of all possible removable equipment and four of her crew flew it back to home base after repairs had been made by American units.'
 All operations were carried for ward almost under the noses of the Japanese and preparations were made for complete destruc- tion of the plane in case enemy patrols broke through.
 Capt. Stanley Brown, the pilot, made the emergency landing with two motors out from enemy ac- tion over the Nagasaki target. He was uncertain when he landed whether he was in friendly ter ritory.

Shoe Raiioning
May End 0tf. I
WPB Experts
Approve Plon

BY MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is -
(R - Shoe rationins may end
October !.
It will il top officials of the
War Production Board follow
recommendations Of the Agen-
cy's Leather Bureau. It's the job
of that Bureau to know the shoe
situation thoroughly.
A decision will be made In
the next week or 50, after con-
ferences between WPB Chair
man ]. A. Krug and OPA Ad-
ministrator Chester Bowles.
OPA shoe officials are not ex-
pected to voice any strenuous
objections to the WPB proposal.
although October Is and No.
vember 1 have been mentioned
more frequently within OPA as
likely dates for ending the pro-
gram.
There is not complete agree
ment in WPB on the October
! date. The agency's Office of
Civilian requirements reported
ly wants to make sure before
committing itself that stocks and
the production outlook are ade-
quite to permit unrestricted
buying.
Both OPA and WPB have in
dictated that when shoe output
reaches the rate Of 5000, 900
pairs q month, rationing can be
ended. The recommendation of
WPB's Leather Bureau is said
to be based on strong indications
that such a rate will be achieved
next month. If it is it will be
only about 100000 pairs short
of the 1889 monthly rate.
In advocating an early end
to the program, government Of
ficials who asked anonymity
said that for all practical pur-
poses shoe rationing already is
at an end.
They reason this way: The
public knows that in any event
the end is not far off. Conse-
quently, these officials say.
there no longer is much hesitan-
cy about spending shoe coupons.
The officials also want to see
rationing terminated because
they feel it tends to initiate shoe
prices. They say:
Under rationing, people buy
more expensive shoes in the
hope they will last longer. And
some manufacturers have taken
advantage of this tendency by
disseminating lower price lines.

Symington. undoubtedly will be
appointed to the new post. Pres.
ident Truman requested the
change.
In its explanation, prepared
in pamphlet form, the board ac-
knowledged that 1.-THE chief bo-
gey of businessmen Is that huge
quantities of surplus will be
dumped on the market just at the
time that the trade Is seeking to
supply civilian customers again. I"
In many cases manufacturer
and dealers know they have sold
the armed forces more goods
than would have gone into nor
NAL civilian trade for years.
SPC said 1t will try first to get
out enough goods to relieve cur
rent civilian shortages and to get
the war items out Of the way of
reviving civilian production. But
a great deal will be left over.
Here SPB plans to sow it as
"seed corn.
AID INSTITUTIONS
For example, is is unlikely
that the regular retail trade will
be able to absorb all the wooden
blankets that will become sur
plus without forcing blanket
manufacturers to shut down"
SPB said.
"A great many surplus blan-
kets can be sold in these regular
channels before the pent-up de-
mand Is met and the mills are
producing enough for theft nor
NAL customers.
But after that, new markets
for wooden blankets can be Gre
ated by distribution to public in
stitutions which were too poor to
buy adequate supplies, by care
full export deals, by channeling
army blankets into the hands of
people who could never afford
them before.
"The result, it is believed, will
be q bigger rather than a shrunk-
en- blanket industry"
