X Preparing For Har vest And Har vesting Onions most costly onion decay. Another conditioning practice is to run a good deep furrow on each side of row, throwing the dirt from the onions and leaving them on a narrow bed which will gradually dry out, leaving the onions in a good condition for pulling and curing. Onions that have been properly conditioned should be pulled and handled very carefully to avoid bruising and spread in a dry and we^rventilated building and prop erly cured before cleaning, grad ing and sacking. Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem. Agent. X Cub News This is one year that we want to produce nlenty of food, but it is more important to prevent spoilage after food has been pro duced. Many thousand pounds of onions rot each year on account of not being properly matured and cured. It is hard to properly cure and keep onions if not in proper condition when harvested. It has been found a good prac tice to condition onions for har vest. About ten days or two weeks before onions are to be harvested, the tops should be broken down just above the bulb. This can be done in gardens by hand but in larger acreages, a light roller will do a faster job. This causes the stems to dry out and the neck to close before being pulled from the ground. This materially reduces infection of neck rot, our Den two met at the home of Mrs. W. P. Parks, Jr., den mother, on June 10, 1943.

Y. It is about 200 miles from a little town called Carrabelle on the Northwestern Gulf Coast of Florida to Jacksonville on the At lantic Coast. It is fairly level going all the way; no severe ups and downs; no heavy rock for mations; no great rivers or flood areas. If engineers could lay the 24-inch pipe line, which we know as the “Big Inch,” at a speed of five miles per day over the sort of terrain which lies between Longview, Texas, and Norris City, 111., they could certainly equal that speed from Carrabelle to Jacksonville. There is a sheltered and easily protected waterway from the oil ports of Texas to Carrabelle; and, along the Atlantic seaboard, the Inland Waterway runs from south ern Florida' all the way to New Jersey. No submarines could reach oil shipments over this route. One 24-inch pipe line could transport 390,000 barrels daily. Two or three laid in the same ditch for economy’s sake—would eliminate East Coast gasoline and oil troubles. Such a program would neces sitate the construction of pipe lines and pumping stations, hun dreds of small diesel powered tow boats and many hundreds of oil barges. These latter could be constructed of poured concrete reinforced with steel. The a- mount of steel used would be small and the labor far less than would be required for barges con structed of lumber. At a time like the present when every effort is concentrated upon making the machinery for war, it might almost appear to be too expensive an undertaking to con struct this “through line” from the Texas oil fields to New Jer sey. But if we are to believe what we read and hear about the impending East Coast gasoline and oil shortage, this project—or one with the same object in view—is as important as the battlefront itself. For not onlv are East Cdast war industries an essential part of the nationwide effort, but from the standpoints of health and morale, a really desperate situation in great cen ters of oopulation like New Eng land states, New York, Pennsyl vania and New Jersey, caused b: T too great a shortage of these tw"> essentials—would be catastrophe beyond words. In about five months from no^ r the Northern Atlantic states will begin to need oil and coal to keen the people warm. This will b? added to the demand for gasoline to keep road transportation i j motion. Even now the East i’> being “cut to the bone” in the use of gasoline—and nothi^rr could be more sensible if the. cutting doesn’t go too far cause a transportation brea v - down. But is the East bef^g forced to economize on gasolin' so that fuel and heating oils can be shipped there through the summer and stored for the win ter demand; or is all of it be ing shipped abroad for our war efforts? And even if great quan tities are being stored—will that surplus be sufficient to tide the Northeastern states over anothe" such winter as the past one? And if the oil just isn’t available when the time comes—then what** People will walk, starve and die all sorts of deaths for their country’s sake—but they won't freeze gracefully. It is someone’s job to get cil and gasoline to the East Cca"A by next winter; and It wot’* make any difference to freezing people what the reasons or ex cuses for failure may be. Tljere are ways to forestall a serious shortage if action is begun ii time. There must not be a famine 11 oil or gasoline in the cold North Atlantic states this coining win ter. Tire repercussions would be too unpleasant. -X- Colored Registrants To Be Inducted Into Armed Forces In Near Future tMcQtfi/mJu&Qovi/iibfr- Farm New$ (By G. W. Bonnette, County Agent) GALLANT-BELK COMPANY HOME OF BETTER VALUES GREENWOOD, S. C. Cotton, in general, is as good as we have had in a number of years, is the expression used by most farmers. Corn is not so promising, but has shown much improvement in the last week. Grain is about harvested but yields varied greatly—some real good, some poor,—as a whole it seems to me we are falling short. Boll weevils are plentiful. Mop ping with our 1-1-1 mixture, ‘Mop and Mix,” arsenate and flour, or any other poison should be applied immediately if not al- eady. Repeat the mopping in from 5 to 7 days. Some scalding has resulted from poisoning in the heat of the day; better wait until in the late of the evening. If you are in need of addition al labor, see your County Agent and see if he can find it for you. The victory gardens entered in the Bracknell contest are showing up good as we go about making inspections. Plant more beans, tomatoes and corn in your garden to can for winter. Plan a late garden just as you have a spring garden—it’s hot of course, but we must eat. Terrace that grain field so that the soil will have a chance to stay with you. Now is the time— Mr. Crawford is ready. R. W. Dunlap, chairman of the local selective service board, has submitted for publication the names of colored registrants to be inducted into the armed forces in the near future, as follows: Jessie Holloway, George Washington Jones, Herman Dorn, Jessie B.
