According to the experts, we are going to need corn next winter like we have never needed it before. The 1 moral of this statement is plant a few more acres to this crop, culti vate it a little better and use some : bought fertilizer on it instead of putting all of it on cotton. A great deal of our wheat is be ing shipped abroad, in fact 25 per cent of it has been set aside for shipment to the starving people ‘ abroad. The chances are we will be glad to see a good hoecake on our table in the next six months. We of the South, are going to be th«. ones who will not be able to get wheat bread first; the reason being we do not grow wheat to any con siderable extent I - Paul Newell, in charge of beef cattle work with the Extension Ser vice, State College, is maxing tours in different parts of the state bring ing county agents and assistant county agents up to dale on beef cattle management, production and ! pastures. On Tuesday of the past week, Mr. Newell and his group stopped to spend an hour with Messrs. C. V. I and Hoover Maxwell at Pickens. I This farm is doing a good job with cattle anu pastures. A 300-acre pas ture visiter by the group shows a net profit of $8.95 per acre per year, or ptting it another way, a profit per brood cow of $38.36 per year. This compares with a 50-acre pas ture which has been improved by the use of lime and phosphate. The net profit per acre on this pasture was $23.40, whereas, the profit per steer (only steers were grazed on th.s pn.uiv) was $33.43. You will note that the improved pasture showeu a profit per acre of almost 3 times the unimproved pasture. Farmers of the county who used calcium silicate slaug in 1945 will be interested in having the three year results reecntly published by the Holly Spring Experiment Sta tion on this material. When it was used on hairy vetch it produced an average increase of 2288 pounds over untreated plots. Comparing cal cium sinuate slag A'i'.h iAUu...... iirr.e c i 1 average increase of 1611 pounds. In this same test where equal amounts of phosphorous was used with these two materials, the average increase on hairy vetch over no treatment was practically the same, 3648 for slag and phosphorous and 3670 for Dolomite lime and phosphorous. A test located at Columbus, where calcium silicate slag and phosphor ous were compared with Dolomite lime and phosphorous on sericea les pedeza in 1944 and 1945, the follow ing results were published: 4708 pounds for calcium silicate slag and phosphorous and 4300 pounds for Dolomite lime and phosnho . f I.

Recent surveys showing that while 98 percent of the women of the country know that used cooking fat is still needed, only 62 percent are “current salvageis,” bear out the Department of Agriculture's state ment that more than half the an nual 500,000,000 pound fat salvage potential still goes down the drain. Every woman can cooperate with the President’s Famine Emergency Committee by using less wheat and fats and oils products, but probably ! the most tangible contribution most housewives can make to this world food shortage is the used cooking fat she saves and turns over to the > meat ueaxer tor four cents a pound.

It made her sick just to look at anything to eat. She was swollen with gas, full of bloat, had headaches, felt worn out and was badly constipated. Finally ■ she got INNER-AID and says she now eats everything in sight and di gests it perfectly. Bowels are regu- j lar and normal. She is enjoying life once more and feels like “some oth er woman” since taking ;h:s New Compound.

For when a house wife uses and reuses her cooking fats, she makes less demand upon -etail supplies of salad oils, lards, md shortenings. When she turns aer household grease over to the neat dealer for the use of industry, t means that some of the pressure on edible fats is relieved. If every woman currently salvag ing fat would set herself up as • committee of one to urge sons friend, not currently saving fat, ta do so regularly, it would not ottf double the amount of fat salvaged and ease the strain on edible fata and oils, but it would answer the very personal need for more soap here at home. m If I .Oil ,ft $ fin*ft Ht* tyirUH j/fr)A appears to be to dtlkoH, lines.
