N. c. Dairy Industry
Now Short OF Help

Raleigh - Declaring that a pro-
gressively farm labor supply is Grip
pling the plans of North Carolina
dairymen for spring expansion of
the industry, John A. Arey, extern
sion service dairymen at State Col
lege, said today that many family
men who received draft deferment
during war years by virtue of en-
ployment on dairy farms now are
leaving rural areas in increasing
numbers.
Arey advanced the opinion that
Every little" new construction will
take place on dairy farms in the
state this spring principally because
many wartime workers will be alb
sent.
Anson County Farm Labor Assis-
tant James W. Boggan cited the
case of 27-year-old negro share
cropper as. typical of what is taking
place among farm workers in that
section of the state:
This man, Boggan SAID, had a
wife and three small children. Last
year he farmed with o. D. Davidson
of Route Wadesboro, sharing a
crop and operating tractor. In jan
uary this man moved from the Da-
wilson farm to work for John Skies
of Route 2, Polkton, IL miles from
his former home. Becoming dissat-
isfied again, he moved to Charlotte
and now is employed in an urban
business"
Farmers again are advised by Fred
Sloan, state program leader of the
college Extension Service, to plan
farm work this year year only in
accordance with the local supply of
labor.

COTTON INSURANCE
DEADLINE APRIL 10

North Carolina farmers should
lose no time in obtaining crop in
surance protection on their 1916 crop,
G. T. Scott, chairman, State AAA
committee, has announced.
"After a full years operation un-
der the revised crop insurance pro-
gram, most farmers are "sold" on
its advantages Scott stated. "Ap-
plications for the 1916 cotton crop
should be filed before seeding, or
April 10, whichever is earlier" he
said.
Insurance coverage, backed by the
Federal Government, is provided for
cotton, wheat, and flax crops on a
national basis. Trial insurance pro-
grams for corn and tobacco are be-
ing carried out in selected counties.
The trial progam TO tobacco is being
continued in North Carolina in Will
son, Vance and Surry counties. AS
risk data are accumulated, new "ex-
perimentaP crops may be added to
the list.
The insurance program offers pro-
lection against unavoidable natural
hazards, including drought, flood,
hail, hurricane, insect infestation and
plant disease.
During 1945, around 1868 farms
in the State were covered by Fed
eral crop insurance. This number
included 1878 cotton farms, and
3,795 wheat farms. The Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation has ap-
proved claims for over 342 cotton
producers and claims are still being
made. Principal losses were caused
by cool weather in the spring, pre-
venting a good stand, wet weather,
and boil weevils.
j. Solon Williams of Rt. /, Polk
county, collected over $1,000 indem-
nifty on his cotton crop last year
from the Corporation due to loss
caused by excessive rain and boil
weevils.
Application for the 1916 cotton
crop insurance may be filed with
county AAA committees, or their au-
thorized agents.

State College Hints
ToFarmH Homemakers
By RUTH CURRENT
North Carolina State College

Enriched - restored - fortified
are words often seen on food labels
these days. Many homemakers think
these words all mean the same thing.
But actually, each one has a differ
ent meaning say nutritionists.
Enriched" is word properly
used only for bread and flour. Defi-
mite standards, set up by law, of GER
tain food values must be added. Iron
and two "B' vitamins niacin and
thiamine-are put back in about the
amounts lost in milling white flour
from the whole grain. A third B
vitamin - riboflavin - is added in
even larger amounts than are found
in whole wheat.
Under War Food Order No. 1, all
bakers white bread and rolls must
be enriched. This will apply to
bread baked with the new 80 per
cent extraction flour, so that Amer
icas daily bread will be even better
than the enriched bread we now eat.
In restored" foods, nutrients orig
inally present in the food but lost
in processing are put back. Break
fast cereals are sometimes restored
to whole grain levels by the addition
of thiamine, niacin and iron.
When foods are fortified" nutri-
ents that were not originally present
are added. Almost all margarine is
fortified with vitamin A. Milk is
sometimes fortified with vitamin D.
which the body needs to make best
use of the calcium and PHOSPHORUS
in the milk.
The rules of modern poultry cook,
ing are few and easy to follow, food
specialists say. Rule No. is: Cook
at moderate heat so the meat viii
be Juicy, tender and evenly done te
the bone. This rule holds for birds
of all ages and kinds from the spring
chicken to the old hen. Turkeys
ducks, geese, guineas and SQUAD have
most food value when cooked a
moderate heat. Moderate heat is
economical of both meat and fuel.
Rule No. Q is: Vary the cooking
method according to the age and fat
ness Of the bird. For young, tender

Farm Questions

@. Is the use Of chlorine COM
pound adequate for sterilizing dairy
utensils?
A. John A. Arey, Extension dairy
man, answers "yes" but lists three
steps to be followed. First, cans
must be cleansed with cold water
rinse; second, be sure the chlorine
solution is the right strength by fol
lowing manufacturers directions;
third, keep utensils emersed in So
luton at least 80 seconds.
Q. What is indicated by the pres
ence of broom sedge on land?
A. Agronomists say that this
means the absence of some desirable
crop. In pastures, it means that be-
cause of low soil fertility or mis-
management, the better grasses and
legumes have been eliminated. Such
land should be lined, fertilized with
about 500 pounds of 0-144-7 fertilizer
to the acre, and reseeded.
@. When should small grains be
top-dressed?
A. Applications of nitrogen top
dressing should be made during
March, taking care to make the dis
tribution even. If the top-dressing
is applied unevenly, dark and light
streaks will be observed in the field
q few days after it is dressed. The
equivalent of 80 pounds of nitrogen
to the acre is recommended for corn
