Magnolia Fast Grower
If Given Proper Care
Southern Magnolia is not the
slow growing tree that so many
people seem to think it is. It can
be made to grow at an
unusually fast rate, according
to North Carolina State
University extension horticulturists.
The "slow-grow" reputation
may have become attached to
the Southern Magnolia because
it is so often planted and
neglected. Under those conditions,
it will grow slow.
Wih proper soil preparation
and fertilization, it will grow
rapidly. It could grow 20 feet
tall in less than 10 years.
Here's the formula for such
growth: First, buy a large plant
around four to five feet tall, if
possible. Dig a large hole,
particularly if the soil at the
planting site is poor. The hole
should be three to four feet
across and two to three feet
dee'p.
Thoroughly mix in some form
of organic matter with soil
removed from the hole. Use
about one-third by volume peat
moss, leaf mold, pine bark or
similar substance. Plant the
tree no deeper than it grew in
the nursery. Mukh with pine
straw or similar material to a
depth of about two to thpee
inches of settled mulch. Extend
the mulch three feet from the
trunk.
Water the tree during any
dry period, especially during
the first and second growing
seasons. Fertilize twice a year
with a balanced fertilizer, such
as 8-8-8. Apply one cup of
fertilizer per inch of trunk
diameter. This should be done
each spring and repeated in
mid-summer. Soak the fertilizer
into the soil.
Don't be impatient. It may
take a year or so for the tree to
settle and begin the predicted
fast rate of growth.
Wet Strings First
Dampen string before using
it to tie packages. The string
will not slip during the work
and, as it dries, it will shrink
itself tighter than you could
possibly have pulled it.

Frozen Food Packaging
Important To Freshness
The effects of poorly packaged
frozen foods can be seen and
tasted.
Food dries out when not
packaged correctly. It loses its
original freshness and its
natural colors, flavors and
nutritive values, say extension
specialists at North Carolina
State University.
This loss of moisture adds to
frost from other moisture
sources and increases the
defrosting task, whether the
job is done by you or your
freezer.
Containers and packages
with tight closures must be
used on frozen foods. If oxygen
can reach the food it will speed
poor meat flavors, darken light
colored fruits and possibly
cause boilable pouches to burst.
Oxygen will not do as much
damage to vegetables as to
other foods, however, because
vegetables are protected somewhat
by a natural huilt-in
antioxident.
Popular polyethylene bags
are excellent to freeze food in if
they are from IV2 to 3 mils
thick. Thinner bags will not
protect the food and thicker
ones are hard to twist
adequately at the top. Good
bags cost more money initially
than the thin, poor ones, but
will protect the food.and can be
reused.
Other good packaging ma
terials include heavy aluminum
foil and laminated and coated
sheets. Use just enough to
cover the food and make a good
closure.
Handle frozen foods with
respect. Adding the proper
packaging to good food and the
right freezer temperature will
yield the best tasting food.

material located on opposite
sides of the yolk is called the
chaiaza and is a normal part
of the egg. It holds the yolk

Mrs. Burnett Is
Hostess To 4-Hers
By DENISE BULLOCK
Reporter
Mrs. Helen B. Burnett entertained
16 members of the Youth
Achievement 4 H Club and two
leaders in her home recently
with a piano prelude. The
meeting was called to order by
Carmen Burnett with the
opening song, "America."
Kenneth Durham, Don Burnett,
Alonza Durham and
Frank Dortch served as panelists
during the educational
session. Connie Terry selected
questions from the "Problem
Box" for the panel to discuss.
Each member was asked to
write any question or problems
of his or her choice. The
answers from the panel were
very good and enjoyable. Karen
Bullock was warmly welcomed
as a new club member.
Refreshments were served.
Confusion
Young Bride: The two best
things I prepare are meat loaf
and peach cobbler.
Bridegroom: Well, which is
this?
You know they're married
when she looks at the dresses in
the window and he looks at the
skirts on the sidewalk.
