The President pointed out that
the recently enacted Atomic En-
ergy Act, which sets up control
for domestic use of atomic en-
ergy, provided for such reserva-
ton of fashionable materials in
the disposal of public lands.
President Truman also signed
the new research and marketing
act, which provides additional
millions of dollars in the nature
of subsidy to the entire farm
industry. These research funds
will be increased over a period of
five years. from 81 million dol
lars in 1916 to 80 million dollars
in At and on up to Y million
dollars in 1851. Intent of the
measure is to provide financial
means for stimulating research
into new uses for agricultural
products. both food and fibre, and
then to provide, also, the funds
for marketing research to get
them into the hands Of the con-
sumerS.

Porter Assists
In A-BO1nb Tests
Grassy Creek Man Gives In
teresting Details About Re-
cent Tests At Bikini

An Ashe county man was a.
mong those who assisted in the
recent atom bomb tests at Bikini.
Frank Porter, Jr., who is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. D. F. Porter, of
Grassy Creek, gives some in
ting impressions of these
tests.
Frank writes about the first
test, 'The atomic bomb was
dropped the first of July and did
a great deal of damage. 1t explod-
ed about five hundred feet above
the target ship, Nevada, and &C
tually sank two ships, damaged
three others so bad that they
went down day later, one sub
marine went down several hours
later, and badly damaged an air
craft carrier. When the all clear
signal was given our ship was the
j. st one in. and our boat crew
was the second ones in the har-
Dor after the bomb was dropped
We went in carrying scientists
doctors and officers to see what
damage the bomb actually did"
A message from Pathological
center in Mt. Mckinley to US
Henrico, of which Porter is a
crew member, after the last test
states, "Your excellent work last
three days enabled DSM to save
one Destroyer, one Transport and
one Submarine. Congratulations
to you and your crew." J. M.
Rault, Jr., Boat Officer of the
Henrico says, Il add my con-
"ro+"'ations to fine crew. Well
DONE"
Porter, who is only II years
old, has been in service for about
eight months.
Mr.. Porter had four other sons
in service who served with the
army in the European theatre of
operations, and all of whom have
received their discharges.

separate Farm Credit from the
Department of Agriculture. It
will be remembered that the Flan-
agan bill then was the focus of
attention, backed as it was by
three of the four large farm or
CARNATIONS, the Farm Bureau
Federation, the National Grange
and the National Council of Farm
err Cooperatives. With the pres
sure of these groups behind it, the
measure, which would have set up
an autonomous bipartisan board
to govern all farm credit, sailed
through the lower house by vote
of 239 to 80. In the Senate it
was stalled effectively in COM
mittee.
M n w lille, Representative
Cooley. who usually is staunch
supporter of the Farm groups,
plugged away doggedly for his
Farmers Home Corporation Bill
and finally obtained a priority out
of the powerful House Rules
Committee and got it to the floor
for action. And house action was
followed by senate action.
President Truman, however,
does not like one section of the
law, and in signing the measure
he expressed the hope that the
next Congress would repeal that
part. 1t is section nine. which
! provides that ANY conveyance of
real estate by the government or
any governmental agency under
this act shall include all mineral
! rights" The President doesn't
like that.
1T is very important to the
best interests of the nation that
fashionable materials in lands now
under Federal ownership be re-
! served for the control and use OF
the United States" he said. 1T
is equally important that the gov
eminent reserve ownership of oil

Ashe County Farmers Are
Urged To Place Lime Orders

''The phosphate situation is the
most critical it has been for sew
eral years. We will not be able
to get more than so per cent of
the amount received last year,
therefore we are asking farmers
to place orders for all the lime
needed on the farm" J. w. Gam
bill, chairman of AAA, said
Farmers who have not placed
an order for lime and any who
have ordered lime but need more
are asked to come to the AAA
office. at once and place an order
to meet the needs of the farm.
''We hope that more phosphate
will be available next year and
the farmer who applies lime this
year will have his land in con-
dition to get maximum results
from phosphate when it is avail
able.
There is no limit to the amount
of lime you may receive. We
want each farmer to order enough
to take care of the needs of the
farm" Chairman Gambill said.
''When you come in to place
your lime order bring any bills
you may have showing the
amount and kind Of grass seed
bought this year and we will take
your report for any pasture prac-
tees carried out. AS soon as you
have applied your lime and phos-
phate come in at once and make
report" he added.
The price Of lime delivered to
farms in Ashe county is $500
per ton and the AAA program
pays $500, leaving only eighty
cents for the farmer to pay, it
was explained.

This Week Il,
Washington

In the face of determined eff
forts to remove farm credit
agencies from the jurisdiction OF
the Secretary of Agriculture, the
passage and signing by the Pres
ident of the measure setting up
!. he Farmers Home Corporation,
by Representative Har-
old D. Cooley, (D-N.C.) is viewed
here as victory for Secretary
Clinton P. Anderson.
The secretary had vigorously
opposed all attempts to take
farm credit out of politics" and
set it up as an independent
agency. The new law consolidates
farm credit activities Of the gov
eminent for low income borrow
ers into a single agency under
direct authority of Secretary An
derson. The purpose as explain
ed by Congressman Cooley is ito
give only one agency the powers
to make direct loans to farmers
and to limit these loans to farm
ers who cannot get credit any
where else"
Under terms of the bill the
Farm Security Administration is
abolished. Some activities of the
Farm Credit Administration are
curtailed and all activities of the
National Housing Agency which
pertain to property and other as
sets formerly managed by FSA
are curbed. The measure also
requires liquidation of all sub
sistence loans made by FSA.
AS far back as April, it was
predicted that Secretary Ander'
son would win out in this fight tc

Timely Hints

Mildew is a fungus growth that
eventually 'eats'' into the fibers
Of cloth, causing serious and per-
manent damage. 1t thrives in a
damp, warm, dark, and unventi-
lated place, say textile chemists.
Therefore, if clothes are even
slightly damp when put away, or
if dampness reaches them in stor-
age, a closed bag and hot sum-
mer weather make conditions
ideal for it's growth.
Clothes should be stored in a
moisture-proof container so that
dampness cannot reach them.
Summing and airing should be
done after a long, rainy season.
Rooms and closets, or wherever
clothes are stored, should be sum
ned and aired.
Clothes should be examined in
midsummer to see if any mlldeW
has started. If so, they should
be removed Immediately and
brushed, summed and dried out
doors before putting away again.
Sponging may remove light sur
face growth on wool. Soap and
water will remove very fresh mil
dew from washable material.
Mild bleaches may be used on
white fabric. If mildew has been
left too long, however, there is
no way Of erasing its damage.
