FORD (Farm Forester) Seven of the boys who attended the Wilkes County Forestry Field Day this past month have been taking advantage of an offer made by the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce, to the boys attending the field day. These boys will shortly receive 1000 shortleaf pine seedlings each. By planting these seedlings with a spacing of elx feet by seven feet each boy will have enough trees to plant one acre of poor land that is at the present producing nothing. These boys will each put an acre of their farm to work producing timber for the future. The boys planting shortleaf pine this year are: Robert Dimmette, Charles A. Gilliam, Ray W. Johnson, and Hassel A. Key from Ronda School, Edwin McGee from Mt. Pleasant School, Fred Finley, Jr., of North Wilkesboro school and Beech el Snider of Millers Creek school. Support Y. M.

By RUTH CURRENT (State Home Demonstration Agent) Those small insects—the weevils, beetles and meal moths— which get into cereals and other dry foods in home cupboards are a familiar nuisance to the housewife say agricultural entomologists. Cereal products alone, dis! carded from home kitchens because insects are found in them, amount to a huge loss in grain, so critical at the present time. If each family in the United States threw away only 50 cents' worth of cereal food each year because of Insect infestation, the loss would total about fifteen million dollars, the entomologists estimate. / Every housewife, therefore, can help the grain-saving: program as well as the family pocketbook Just by keeping her cupboard tree of insects. Simple steps for doing this are: (1) Clean all kitchen shelves thoroughly; (2) Spray cupboards with 5 per cent DDT; (3) Inspect all packages of food for insects; (4) Sterilize food packages in a slow oven (140 degree P.) for half an hour; (5) Keep all food in tightly closed containers. (This will help, control ants, cockroaches and other insects as well as the pantry pests.) Starve by cleanliness. Traces of spilled food aad particles slft'ed from packages and lodged In eracks and corners of cupboards furnish board for pests. Keeping shelves thoroughly clean is the best way to starve thcpe pests. Kill by spraying. Spray cupboards with 6 per cent DDT solution every few months. * Clear out cupboards, wash -and dry them, then spray interior surfaces. The deposit of fine DDT crystals left after the spray dries will be effective tor several months in killing insects that crawl into cupboards. Wait until the spray dries to put packages of food on shelves. The dry DDT will not harm food inBide packages. But neither will it kill insects already in packages. Examine dry foods. Insects are in food sometimes when it oomes from the store. They may be in flour, meal, cereals, crackers, breakfast food, macaroni, spaghetti, spices, nut. meats, dry milk, chocolate, oocoa, dehydrated food, dried fruits. But these foods are not ruined just because a beetle or moth has crawled in. An occasional insect in flour, for example, may be picked out and the flour sifted through a fine sieve. Flour or other food should be sterilized with heat and stored in a clean, tight container. Foods which are heavily infested, however, may only toe used to feed pets or chickens. Sterilize by heat. Dry food products can be freed of insect life by heating in the oven at 140 degrees F. for half an hour. Small packages can be heated *Just as they are, sealed or opened. Contents of large packages should be spread out on a baking pan so that heat can penetrate them more easily. Store Bafely. Foods -which hava been sterilized iby heat should be stored promptly in clean metal or glass containers with tight-titting covers. Lard buckets, coffee cans or glass jars make safe containers. - o ———— Navy airfield crash and firefighting crews are being trained in tactics designed to complete the rescue of all passenger8 and crew from a crashed or burning airplane within two minutes after the accident.
