KEEPS HIS SHIRT ? Senatorial Candidate W. Kerr Scott and old friend Hubert E. Olive ?huck their coata (or ihirt-aleeve conversa tion and barbecue. Scott (aid Jie waned to ?how that although he loat 30 bull calvea in a walking conteat. he haan't loat hia ?hjrt. Home . Demonstration ? Week Being Observed National Home Demonstration Week, which ia being observed | thia week, ia a time for paying tribute to volunteer club leaden. What ia a volunteer home de monstration leader? What does ahe do? She is a club woman giv ing voluntarily of her time and talents to promote home demon stration. Today in North Carolina there are subject matter leaders in the 1,800 clubs of the >tat? ? foods and nutrition, clothing and food con aervation, home management, poultry, gardening, and family relations leaders. These women report at club meetings on latest findings in their specific subject matter field; they may also plan, prepare and present the monthly demonstration. Mrs. Charles Graham of Lin wood, president of the North Car olina Federation of Home De monatration Clubs, says she thinks of volunteer leaders as top soil, 'As the rain and the sun must filter through the topsoil I before reaching the subsoil, to it mutt be through volunteer leaders that many unreached families will be reached," says Mrs. 'Graham. "These leaders realize that theirs is a two-way position," continues Mrs. Graham. "They, as leaders, are growing stronger as they help others. There are also leaders active in fathering the "extra" home demonstration projects like mus ic, citizenship and international relations, health and safety, and education. All leaders are work ing to broaden and strengthen their program. . . Norman, Okla. ? A University of Oklahoma professor of Crim inology, Dr. Gilbert Geis, 20, did tome extra curricular sleuthing recently and nabbed /our fresh men who were trying to sell cop ies of his final examination in advance ? at $30 a throw. The four had devised the novel plan of pokin* fai trash cans for dis Wfded mimeograph stencils used Savs Corn Often y Planted Too Fast Low corn yields may be attri buted to many things, aaya Sher man N. Shelton, Jones County Negro farm agent (or the Agricul tural Extension Service. One cause that is often overlooked is planting too fast. | Shelton says many of his neigh boring farmers are planting their 1954 corn too fast. The result, he says, is apt to be a spotty stand and low yield on many farms this year. The Negro county agent says it is ironical that many farmers i plan ahead to prodi^pe a good crop of corn by following almost all recommended practices but when it comes to "putting the seed in the {round they get in a hurry." ant-lion quotes oeorge murreit, j one of Jones more progressive j farmfrs, as saying one of the re quirements for producing a top ! corn yield is "to have plenty of stalks to the acre." For best planting, Shelton and Murrell advise keeping the tractor at a steady 3'<i miles per hftur. This means that planting corn is a tiring task, says Shelton. But the results pay off. A 34 miles per hour it takes a full 10-hour day to cover a 10-acre field. Cottage Cheese Cheapest "Meat" CotUge cheese has often been ragged "the cheapest meat you can eat", say? Rita Dubois, reg onal consumer marketing spec ialist at State College. ' For example, the 12 ounce car ton of cottage cheese sold by most tairy plants wilk cost you but 22 ?ents, but will furnish you about one-half of the protein needed daily by the average adult. Cot tage cheese is a low calorie food, too. The 12 ounce carton furnish es but eight per cent of the calor ies needed each day by an aver age adult. According to Miss Dubois, Tar 'leels have not been eating much ottage cheese in the past. She offers two reasons: first of all, there h?s not been enough sur- 1 plus milk in the state to make cottage cheesr; second, eating habits in North Carolina have been such that cottage cheese was included in daily diets. Consumption of cottage cheese in North Carolina ranks 47th in the United States. The average amount of cheese eaten per per son per year is .167 pounds. The national average is 2.9 pounds per person per year. R. B. Redfern, dairy extension specialist at State College, says that if the average person in North Carolina ate as much cot tage cheese as the average per son in the United States, there would be 9,056,000 more pounds of cottage cheese consumed in the Tar Heel State. Nearly 60, ? 373,500 pounds of milk would be needed to make this much cot tage cheese. Pr. Redfern suggests that by making more cottage would also have a chance to sup cheese in North Carolina, milk would be used which might other wise become surplus. Farmers plement their dairy income. GETTING HIS REWARD "Do you know?" said the little man, "that your great big hulk ing brute of a bulldog killed my wife's dear little unoffending pet poodle." "And what about it?" asked the big man defiantly. "Well," said the little man looking around carefully to see that nobody was near, "Would you be offended if I gave you a new collar for your dog?" Planting faster results in get ting the seed too deep for proper germination, as well aa unequal distribution. 10%to15% OFF Infants to 3 Years Regular 89c RECEIVING BLANKETS 69c? 2 for $1.00 ?
