Marsh Buys
Six Steers For
4-H Members
The sun shines somewhere ev
eryday. But some days it doesn’t
seem to shine anywhere—it look
ed as if the Assistant County
Agent, R. S. Marsh, was stumb
ling in the dark for quite some
time in trying to locate steers for
Chowan County 4-H Club mem
bers. They were finally located,
but not at a reasonable price.
One steer at the Rocky Mount
sale was bid in at 46 \k cents per
pound, while the others averaged
between 33 and 34 cents.
Mr. Marsh had spent consider
able time and travel in an effort
to locate steers at a fair price.
Finally, “Lady Luck” smiled on
Chowan Club members, and they
were able to buy choice steers for
an average of 30 cents per pound.
' Mr. Marsh attended the sale at
Greensboro with Hercules Byrum,
who drove his truck. “We were
unable to buy steers there,” said
Mr. Marsh, “so we went to the
* sale at Hillsboro at 7:00 P. M.,
September 25. We were very for
tunate in having Guy Cassell and
A. V. Allen, of the Extension Ser
vice, as well as Mr. Quinsberry of
the N. C. Department of Agricul
ture, Livestock Division, helping
us.”
After sitting on “needles and
pins” until after all the individ
ual steers were sold, the agents
bid 29.25 cents on six steers, from
a pen of ten. It seemed to them
that the auctioneer would never
stop talking, but their bid held,
and they got the first six steers
which were driven from the ring,
according to Mr. Marsh.
Byrum and Marsh were both
very pleased with the seven they
secured. Three of these steers
weighed 650 pounds, one 600
pounds and the other one 685
pounds. One individual steer was
bought at 31.25 cents, therefore
each club member paid 30 cents
per pound for his steer. Accord
ing to the way steers have been
selling at all the organized sales
this fall, Mr. Marsh thinks that
Chowan club boys got an excel
lent buy.

If you enjoy fried foods, as most
Southerners do, you will welcome
the new electric appliance that
turns them out, done to perfec
tion. When you use an electric
deep-fat fryer, which automatical
ly controls the temperature of the
fat, food does not come out sog
gy from cooking too slowly and
does not burn on the outside be
fore it is done inside. You sim
ply set the temperature control,
a light on the fryer flashes off
when the fat has reached the de
sired temperature and a thermo
stat automatically keeps it there.
Electric deep-fat frying also
eliminates smoking and popping.
That all-important control is the
very thing that makes electric
frying economical because you
can use the same fat again and
again. As lbng as fat does not
break down or burn, it can be

Mass Production Now Dominates Housing
Mass-produced housing has be- 1
come increasingly dominant in
the American market for single
family homes in recent years, ac
cording to data compiled jointly
by the U. S. Departments of La
bor and Commerce.
The figures show that more
than four out of every five new
private one-family nonfarm homes
were constructed by commercial
builders in the 1955-56 period as
vcnience and it deserves careful |
shopping. As with ail your elec
tric appliances, you will get bet
ter results if you follow the man
ufacturer's directions as to type of
frying compound or oil to use
and the care and use of the fry
er.
Chicken, shrimp, doughnuts, j
' fritters and potatoes are the foods
that come to mind first when we
talk about deep-fat frying. Once
you have discovered that dozens
of other foods are delicious cook
ed in deep-fat, you will find lots
of ways to vary your menus with
unusual dishes.
Here is a main dish recipe from
left-overs which reminds us again
of the economical side of this new
appliance.

shown by the classification of op
erative builders, those who do
the complete job from buying,
land to selling finished houses.
As against this trend, owner i
builders who executed their own
construction plans put up only
about one out of every seven new i

the 1955-56 period, less than half

“Cautious,” said the thirsty!
tourist thickly. “Slowing down
for that big curve up there.” J
And he waved toward a ram
