increased only 5 percent. Stocks of

oil ON Jan. ! were about 80 percent
larger than a year earlier. The gov
eminent has announced that it will
support linseed oil prices at the
present level until June 80.
SEED buying for spring needs has
started quite slowly, as farmers are
buying cautiously. Wholesale deal
ers' stocks of alfalfa and white bios
som sweet clover are running low.
Yellow blossom sweet clover sup
plies are fair and red clover is
plentiful. Because of the high prices,
dealers will try to avoid carrying
over any timothy seed. Hay and
forage seed crops in 1948 plus carry
over and imports total about 6 per-
cent less than last year and Is per-
cent less than the 1943-47 average.
HAY prices have been steady to
higher with sharp advances reported
in some storm-bound areas in the
west and in the adjacent sections
from which supplies have been
drawn. Prices in some of these To-
c~alities probably will drop rapidly
when roads are cleared and more
hay becomes accessible.
DAIRY PRODUCT prices prob
ably will be steady to slightly lower
during the spring months. To sup
port butterfat prices at a national
average of go percent of parity, the
government will offer to buy grade
A (92 score) butter at wholesale in
any area at SO cents a pound up to
Sept. ] and 81 cents after that date.
Grade B will be supported at 2 cents
less. Purchase of nonfat dry milk
solids has been resumed.
EGG prices probably will be COM
paratively steady during the next
three months. The government will
support prices through May at 35
cents a dozen at the farm and 81
cents delivered by producers at
packing plants, or the same prices as
in the past year. Support will be
given by buying dried eggs and, if
necessary, frozen eggs.
Production probably will be about
5 per cent over last year. Consumer
demand at the support level prob
ably will be no greater than last
year, so that the government prob
ably will be obliged to purchase
considerably more eggs than in 1948.
POULTRY prices probably will
fluctuate on the lower level reached
in late winter. Storage stocks to be
distributed during the spring and
early summer are only about half
as large as last year, and numbers
of layers and other chickens in farm
flocks r 3 percent smaller than last
year, but commercial broiler and
fryer supplies are 35 to nearly sc
percent larger than a year ago.
POTATO stocks remain extremely
heavy, so that but little price i'm
provement is probable during the
rest of the old crop season. Feb.
merchantable stocks in producing
areas were estimated at IS percen
owe last year. January reduction il
stocks was only slightly larger thar

IT'S COOL NOW
Awed tourists gazing at huge
Fontana Dam in North Carolina
would be even more astonished if
their gaze could pierce the mass of
concrete. For imbedded in the dam
is a system Of piping 500 miles long,
laid in when the cement was poured.
The system of coils were connected
with the lake water at the face of
the dam, and for three years cool
water circulated freely throughout
it.
Reason was simple-without the
cooling system, it would have taken
the concrete so years to cool, and
control of temperature is important
to prevent excessive cracking as the
concrete cools. After the cooling,
fresh cement was pumped into the
pipes which will stay in the struc-
ture as part of it.

Owls Take, IL Inning
Game From Marion 8-6

The Marion Marauders put up
a desperate fight Thursday night
when they met the Rutherford
County Owls on the high school
athletic field. The game went for
twelve innings, but was lost to the
Owls by an eight to six count.
The game was tied at five-all as
it went into the 18th inning. Dur
ing this frame the Owls were able
to get three runs off a walk, a sac
rifice and three hits. The Maraud-
ers attempted to even the count for
a seventh time when they came to
bat, but fell short by two runs.
The big gun at bat for Marion
was Earl Campbell, as he pounded
out a double and two home runs.
His first home run came in the fifth
with no one on base. His second cir
cult blow came in the ninth after
Long John Beam had singled. It
was Campbell's second homer
which tied the game.
Dean Padgett, a Marion boy play
ing for the R. C. Owls, was their
leading hitter with three for six.

Plant for a Fall Harvest,
It's Best of the Year

The best harvest from the vege-
table garden comes in the fall,
when the days are short and the
nights cool. Then some subjects
difficult to grow well in the spring
become easy; and with all vege-
tables the harvest is prolonged.
This is because none of the plants
is in hurry to make seeds. In
the spring all the annual vegeta-
b1es, those which complete their
life cycle in one season, are seem
ihgly intent upon seed production,
and in the case of the leaf and root
crops, when seed bearing begins,
quality is so impaired that the
harvest ends.
Conspicuous examples of this are
caulifower and Chinese cabbage.
The first can seldom be matured
by the amateur in spring, and the
second is difficult. But both can be
grown with ease in the fall, and
should be.
Brussels sprouts and kale are At
their best in the fall Endive not
only grows well in cold weather,
but its flavor is greatly improved
by frost. Spinach, which bolts to
seed with the first warm days Of
summer, no longer shows this
tendency when grown in the fall,
but gives a long harvest of top
quality.
Root crops also like the fall
weather, but to enjoy the highest
quality summer sowings should be
made so that new crops of beets,
carrots and turnips will reach ma
turity in the early fall. This is
an excellent time to have the can
ming and freezing crops available.
While old paintings of both beets
and carrots will retain fair table
quality until freezing weather
comes, they should never be used
for freezing or canning, and young
er plants will also be more welcome
on the fall menu.
For green onions, in the fall, on
ion sets will rarely be available,
since last years crop cannot be
kept dormant in hot weather, and
the new crop is not sufficiently
cured to start growing again with

Facts Concerning
The Blood Program
By George Rowe, M. D.

In cooperation with the American
Red Cross Blood Program, the Ma
rion General Hospital is now operat-
ing a blood bank. A supply of Red
Cross Blood is kept in the hospital
in a special refrigerator used for
this purpose. With this, most types
of blood are Immediately availa BILE
for emergencies or other uses. Sew
eral very rare types of blood are
not being stocked but can be quick
ly procured from Asheville. During
the first month of operation, giving
the dates June IS to July 13, twen-
ty-eight pints Of Red Gross blood,
almost a pint day, were used.
Twelve patients received this blood,
one requiring six pints to save his
life. Several of these patients re-
quired more than one pint of blood.
Of these twelve patients, three had
rare blood types that would have
been difficult to obtain in adequate
amounts had the blood bank not
been in operation.
Due to the excellent record break
ing response of blood doners in Nc
Dowell County the first time the
Red Cross called for doners, Red
Cross Blood is available to all pa
tients regardless of their condition.
The staff and Board of Trustees of
the hospital hope that Mcdowell
County's response in giving blood
in the future will continue to be as
good. In counties where very little
cooperation is obtained in giving
blood the Red Gross requires that a
case be an emergency to receive
banked blood. Mcdowell County is
on the unrestricted list and it is
hoped that it will remain there.
Banked blood, while available to
all patients is sometimes in rare in
stances not as effective or desirable
as fresh blood which is given i'm
mediately without going through the
process of refrigeration. For this
reason your doctor may still ~oc-
casionally call for blood doners
when he decides against the avail
able banked blood.
Under agreement with the Ameri-
can Red Cross, Marion General
Hospital has not and will not make
any charge to the patients for blood
given. It is necessary to determine
the patients type and test his blood
against each pint of blood to be
given before it is safe to give a
TRANSMISSION. This requires consid-
cradle laboratory work. The hos
pital also has to furnish tubing,
needles, etc. for each TRANSMISSION.
A small charge to cover the cost of
this laboratory work and equipment
must be made to the patients by the
hospital.
At the last meeting of the Board
of Trustees, the fee for this service
was set at $500 per TRANSMISSION.
Investigation through the Red Cross
confirms that $500 is standard
fee in most hospitals though a few
communities are charging more.

out winters rest. The only way
to insure fall green onions is to
sow onion seed six to eight weeks
before the crop is desired.
Slow growing vegetables, which
need only to be sown once in order
to give an all season harvest, enjoy
the cool days and more plentiful
rainfall Of autumn as much as the
early types.
Swiss chard should be kept young
by cutting off all leaves more than
10 inches long, and encouraging
new growth, which will be more
tender. New Zealand spinach can
be harvested until freezing wealth
er. Parsnips reach top quality aft
er the first hard frosts, though

when half grown, and use them all

with the heaviest yield Of the sea-
son.
Truly, the autumn harvest is the
finest Of the year!
