Judging from the appearance and size of home gardens this year, pantries in rural North Carolina homes this fall and win ter will be stocked with an abund ance of canned fruits and vege tables, according to John W. Goodman, assistant director of the N. C. State College Extension Service. Evidently realizing that they face the prospect of slim profits from cotton and tobacco this year, farm families have given serious consideration to the sug gestions of Extension workers and have re-doubled their efforts to produce good gardens. Not only have these families devoted more area to gardens, Goodman said, but they have planted a wider assortment of vegetables. This will assure a greater variety in the diet. That part of the garden not used for Current needs is being preserved parts land who plays a large part in the winter use. uccess of the firm.

In most home demonstration clubs at the present time, canning has come to the fore as a major project. Home agents of the Elx- tension Service are instructing farm women members in the lat est and most scientific methods of canning and preserving sur plus foods. Likewise, Goodman said, thea* same agents are giving instruc tion to 4-H dub girls in saving fruits and vegetables. Many of the club girls have taken food conservation as their major pro ject for the year. Greater than usual interest in home gardens was stimulated this year by a new AAA provis ion which provides a small pay ment for planting and cultivating a garden. The provision specifies a minimum of ten vegetables on at least oce-tenth of an acre during the year. The latest available figures from the U. S. Department of Agriculture showed North Caro lina well in front of other states in the value of vegetables pro duced in home gardens. Ads. get attention—and results. WELCOME ...

It has been my privilege to be a part of the business life of our community during the past 40 years, all of which have been devoted to the lumber bus iness in this city.
