Timely Farm Questions
How can I keep my black wal
nuts after they are harvested?
A. The nuts should be gathered
as soon as they fall, from the trees
and the hull taken off as soon as
it begins to turn dark. Never let
the hulls dry hard on the walnuts.
After they are hulled the nuts
should be dried in the sun for not
less than i 10 days. They should
then be stored in a dry place
where air can circulate through
them Be sure that the nuts are not
stored close to any kind of oil,
grease, or kerosene. Walnuts that
are properly handled and cared for
will keep indefinitely..
Q. Can ground pea hay or
ground soybean hay be used in
place of alfalfa' leaf meal in poul
try mashes ?
A. While little investigational
work has been done on this sub
ject, it is generally understood that
the high fiber content of these
hays would make them tindersirable
as poultry feeds. Records do not
show any milling concern using
these hays in their mashes. Due
to the small capacity and rapid
digestion little, if any, fiber can
be utilized by the laying hen and
any mash carrying more than five
per cent fiber content is not rec
ommended. Q. How can ,1 keep skippers and
other meat insects out of my curr
ed meat ?
A. Protect the meat from flies
and there will be no trouble with
meat insects. If the smokehouse is
not screened, each piece should be
wrapped separately in heavy wrap-
. ping paper, dropped in a thin cloth
bag tied securely to prevent flies
from coming in contact with the
meat, and hung in a oool, well
ventilated smokehouse or cellar.
However, if the smokehouse is
screened with No. 16 copper wire
the meat may be allowed to hang
there until used. If the meat, is
wrapped be sure that this is done
as soon as it is smoked to taste
and before the flies come in con-
, tart with the meat.

Doctor Of fers
Avoiding
With the annual high point in
the number of common colds oc
curring regularly in the late fall
season, Dr. Robert A. Fraser, chief
medical director of the New York
Life Insurance Company, offers 10
rules that will help men, women
and children avoid this widespread
malady. They are:
1. Get plenty of sleep, fresh air
and sunshine. ,
2. Eat all the nourishing food
you need, but avoid overating. .
3. Dress sensibly and with re
gard to the climate.
5. Breathe through your nose,
not your mouth.
6. "Cleanliness is next to godli
ness." Bathe daily.
7. Avoid constipation.
8. Get outdoor- exercise every
day. Long walks are excellent.
9. Avoid sudden changes of tem
perature. 10. Keep away from people who
have colds. .
"It goes without saying' Dr.
Fraser adds, "fhat those with colds
must use handkerchiefs when sneez
ing, coughing or expectorating, to
avoid infecting others.
"Overeating lowers' resistance,
making the individual more sus
ceptible to colds. If you have dif
ficulty in breathing properly, see
your doctor promptly ; your ton
sils, adenoids, sinuses or teeth may
need attention. Don't go from a
hot room out into the cold without
suitable protection and never cool
off by sitting in a draft or directly
in front of an electric fan. Final
ly, if there is an epidemic of colds
in your vicinity, avoid large, crowd
ed meetings; in the home,, quaran
tine cold sufferers, particularly if
there are children or old people
around. The infection of children
and aged people is the cause of
excess . mortality in these groups."
Cold A Coatly Enigma
The United States public health
service estimates a direct economic
loss of more than a half a billion
dollars yearly because of the com
mon cold, the average worker los
ing from three to, five working days
per year, "But," says Dr. Fraser,
'in spite of the fact that much
time and money have been spent
in studying the cause and cure
of colds, authorities agree on very
few points, and the results of
widely scattered experiments are
full of contradictions.
Dr. Fraser thinks, therefore, that
the common coH, regardless of how
it is caused, must be looked upon
as an infective agency that may
vary in virulence-from time to time.
It may' be endemic or it may be
epidemic. It usually follows lines
of travel, and it is communicable
from hand to mouth. '
What To Do
The best thing to do, Dr. Fraser
feels, is to go to bed just as soon
as you feel a cold coming on and
isolate yourself from the rest of
the family as much as possible;
J.
Rules For
Common Golds
Rest is more important than medi
cine. Take a hot bath and then get
into bed with ' plenty of covers.
Drink freely of water and fruit
juices. A mild laxative is advis
able and the diet should be light
and simple during the acute stage.
Don't prescribe medicine for your
self. See your doctor and let him
do it. He knows far more, about it
than you or your friends:.
"In the case of children," Dr.
Fraser says, "by all means consult
the family physician promptly.
Many diseases of childhood are
ushered in with symptoms resemb
ling those of the common cold.
Sniffing or running of the nose,
complaint of sore throat, slight
fever,, these are symptoms which
many parents attempt to treat as a
cold, when it is a fact-that the
doctor might .note them' as the
early indications of a serious, in
fectious disease.
"But above all," Dr. Fraser said,
"let me emphasize again the nec
essity of rest in bed and seclusion
from the rest of the family until
the cold has disappeared."
Farm Kitchens Have
Their Faces Lifted
Three hundred and twenty-six
North Carolina farm home kitch
ens are having "their faces lifted"
in a contest sponsored by home
demonstration workers of the State
! college extension service.
- Commenting on the contest, Ruth
Current, state hpme agent, said:
"Those dark, dusty grab-all, hide
away, pantries and cupboards are
going to be done away with or else
be given more light and made us
able. .
An efficient kitchen, she. said, re
quires a separate working surface
for each kind of work to be done,
the arrangement of large equip
ment in step-saving sequences, that
working surfaces be close together,
that equipment be at a convenient
height, and that small equipment be
grouped around the center where it
is first used. -
Finding the correct height for
working surfaces, so that women
can work without stooping or un
necessarily straining their bodies,
is of utmost importance, she. con
tinued. To find, this height,, she said,
stand erect, rest the arm comfort
ably against the body, and bend
the elbow at a right angle. Then
measure the distance . from elbow
to floor, and subtract eight inches
to get proper height for working
surfaces.
Again, stand erect. Place hands
palm down: at a comfortable height
on an imaginary table. If this dis
tance from the floor differs with
that obtained from the first mea
surement, divide the difference.
The contest, under the direction
of Pauline Gordon, extension spe
cialist in home management, and
her assistant, Mamie N, Whisnant,

is being conducted in Alexander.
Avery, Caldwell, Chatham, Davie,
Haywood, Orange, Polk, Surry, and
Watauga counties.'
