The Tar Heel Food Shopper. a neekly publication which comes lo us from State College. Raleigh' tells us this year's strawberry :rop is expected to be a good quality. The weather plays a ? part in leterming when the peak of the :rop will arrive but in our area t will not arrive before May IS. Strawberries are a favorite rait and while most of us think very little of the food value when .ve're enjoying a dish of delicious strawberries, it is good to know that we're getting about two-thirds >f our daily requirement of Vit-j imin C. Much of the year we stress cit- ! -us fruits for Vitamin C. but j fresh or frozen strawberries are |ocd "stand ins." Remember, however that frozen, strawberries are at their best .vitliin 8 to 10 months of the time hey are frozen. The low, even emperature of a freezer is de iirable for a long storage not > iione for strawberries but for all i Foods. To defrost strawberries leave hem in their original seal con-| tainers and serve them icy cold ? that's when tlve color, flavor and texture are best. If you buy fresh berries choose j only those that are full, solid! Spray Equipment You'll find spray paints avail able in aerosol spray cans for imall cans for small jobs, or you :an buy spray equipment, or rent he professional spray equipment or larger jobs. You can also lse the attachment on your va ?uu;n citojier if you choose.: Uulti-colured paints require spray ng red in color with bright green caps attached, clean and fresh appear ing berries. Make strawberries your lasi purchase at the store. Take them heme and carefully roll them from basket into a shallow dish or pan discarding slightly decayed or softened berries. Cover with wax ed paper and refrigerate. Wash berries with caps on just before using and use within two or three: days after purchase.

C VE 7-2132 Soil Conservation News By John S. Smith 1b the put few weeks, I have ri sited several fish pond] on farms here in Cherokee County which showed the need for some fertilization. In these poods the vater has a clear color much ike spring water. The fish in nost of these ponds do not seem It* be growing like it is reason able to expect that they should. In another pond which has been well fertilized, the water is col ored dark green, and there is plenty evidence that the pond contains large bream and bass. There is no question that ferti lization of fish ponds will pay off in larger fish. The analysis wtiich is recommended for ponds is ?-#-8 and the amount re commended is about fifty pounds per surface acre. Applications should be repeated every three to four weeks, or whenever the water starts showing too clear, a color. Nine out of twenty farmers who requested assistance from the County ASC Office with the in stallation of tile drainage or open ditch drainage have completed the projects. Two other farmers requested that their applications! be cancelled, and eight other farmers are in the process of completing the drainage jobs. There still remains one job for the Soil Conservation Service technicians to survey. A group from Raleigh, Waynes-' ville. and from Georgia held I meetings in Hayes ville last week, to discuss the possibility of es tablishing a small watershed protection project on Brasstown Creek watershed in Georgia and in Clay County of North Carolina. If this project is established, it will undoubtedly be extended to include Little Brasstown Creek Watershed in Cherokee County. Tlie most outstanding feature of a watershed protection project is its "water-retarding structures" whidi is merely a high-sounding name for a man-made dam and lake, the primary purpose of which is to control the flow of water in a stream during flood or high water periods. The fea ture which, in my opinion, would be of most benefit to the farm ers of this part of the country New Development In Egg Products New developments are taking place continuallv at tbe research stations Jiroughout the nation. A number of new poultry and egg convenience products have been developed recently by one of tbe stations. The products have been aimed at greater variety, time-saving and ease of use to increase con sumption of poultry and eggs. Here are some of the products that will be tested on the mar ket in tbe near future. 1. Frozen French Toast? This product offers both convenience and variety. Each slice contains a half egg. To prepare for eat ing simply put slices in the toaster. 2. Young Roaster ? Excellent roasters which weigh about 3Vjj pounds are suited to the family j of three or four, arc extremely j tender, and obtained from the; heavier birds of broiler flocks. 3. Kid's Pack ? Twelve small egas in a container offered for children. This pack is aimed at better merchandizing of small eggs. 4. Family Pak? Four large eggs for Mem and Dad along with eight medium or small eggs for the children. 5. Chicken Loaf ? A sandwich loaf, made from heavier birds, that can take its place along with tbe many popular meat-loaf products on tbe market. 6. Chicken Bologna ? Another use for heavier birds is this cold cut with a definite smoked flavor. 7. Chicken Frank ? A new member of the hot dog family, the chicken frank will get Its try-out some time this summer. This is a low-fat, high-protein food expected to be especially popular during the outdoor eating season.

In addition to this benefit, many acres of land could be brought into profitable pasture or crop land if adequate' outlets for tile were provided by deepening existing channels Ed Graves is nearly through with a three hundred seventy five foot long drainage ditch on. his farm at Ebenezer. The maiij who is digging the ditch is do ing an excellent job of it, and also of laying the tile in the completed ditch. When the ditch was surveyed on 14 April the field was boggy all over and wa ter was standing on the surface in many spots. Now. even though I the ditch is not complete, the field is practically dry from one end to the other. The canal which was recently dug between the Ed Wood farm and the Solomon farms at An drews looks entirely different now from what it did a couple of weeks from what it did a couple of weeks ago. "Hie spoil, banks on both sides of the ditch' have now been spread ahd smoothed down. There is no indication now that the ditch has not always been there. Lawrence Timpson of Piach tree has just completed two tile ditches on his farm. He has done a fine jci> of digging the ditches and of installing the tile in spite i of the handicap of very poor eye ' sight.
