State College Hints
For Farm Homemakers
(By RUTH CURRENT)
The Food and Nutrition Board
of the National Research Council
has started a campaign to obtain
the enrichment of all white bread
and flour by September 1, 1942.
Farm homemakers can help in
this program by demanding eni
riched flour and bread of their
local millers and grocers. The en
richment of white flour and its
products is sought in the interest
of improving diet, health and ef
ficiency as a war-time measure.
From now on women's shoes will
be more comfortable, with lower
heels anl room to wiggle your
toes around. There will be more
oxfords and fewer styles. Goat
skin and kid may become the
scarcest of leathers.
Keep shoes in good repair. Shine
daily and wear half-soles proudly
as a' "badge of patriotic coopera
tion."
Heat is the No. 1 enemy of rub
ber goods. The higher the tem
perature, the more quickly rub
ber gets weak, cracks and becomes
sticky. Cold does not harm. Rub
ber's enemy No. 2 is light. Oils
and greases are enemy No. 3.
added water.
For juicy fruits, usually it's best
to separate the riper fruits from
those less ripe. Then you can
crush the riper fruits, heat them
and extract juice from them. Pre
heat the less ripe frit, which you
have set aside, in this juice. Add
.sugar to sweeten slightly if nec
essary. Fill the jars. Make sure
there is pletny of juice to cover
the fruit. Process in a water bath
Certain varieties of peaches and
pears may not yield -enough of
their own juice to make the can
ning liquid. You'll get more juice
from these fruits if you slice them
and add a liittle sugar before you
pre-cook them. If there isn't
enough juice to cover the fruit im
the cans, use syrup to fill the
jars- a syrup made from one or
more cups of sugar to one quart
of water.
Farmers Urged to Defend
Both Nation anci Its Soil
A nation can never be any
stronger or any richer than its
soil, Says Earl H. Meacham, Ex
tension soil conservationist of
State College, because poor soils
make poor people and weak peo
ple. He urges that farmers "de
fend the soil" at the same time
they grbw the soybeans and pea
nuts for oil, and produce hogs,
eggs, milk and other products on
the Food-for-Freedom list.
A definite program for farmers
to follow " in meeting their war
time goals without destroying the
Nation's heritage-its soil-is con
tained in a new Extension War
Series Bulletin (No. 2,) written
by Meacham and printed for free
distribution by the Extension Ser
vice. A copy of 1his publication.
entitled "Defend Your Nation and
Its Soil," may be obtained by
writing to the Agricultural Editor,
N. C. State College, Raleigh, re
questing the bulletin by name and
number.
Some of the suggestions made by
the Extension soil conservationist
include: (1) Terrace Steep land
or land that washes; (2) plant row
crops on the contour; (3) do not
run row crops up and down, the
hills; (4) protect your woodland
rom fire; (5) use strip-cropping
wherever possible; (6) save all
home-grown seed if possible ; and
(7) drain farm land when this is
r.ieeded.
The farmers have been assign
ed a vital role in the war," said
Meacham, "but they can't afford
to waste their soil as was done
in many cases during the last war.
The United Nations expect the
farmers of the United States to
grow enough soybeans and peanut
oil to fill tank cars to reach all
the way across the country and
back ; to produce enough 10 gal
lon cans of milk to build 25 pyra
mids the size of the great pyra
mid of Egypt ; enough hogs to
make a solid procession, two ab
reast, snout to tail, clear around
the world ; and enough eggs so
that if you broke one every sec
ond, it would take 1,600 years to
break them all. It can be done,
and it will be done, and there is
no need to destroy the soil in the
doing." ,
the said defendant will further take
notice that she is required to ap
pear at the office of the Clerk of
the Superior Court of said County
in the Courthou in Franklin,
North Carolina on the 15th day of

Suggests Ways To Can
With Minimum of Sugar
Most farm homemakers have
received their home-canming su
gar certificate, and have been al
lotted one pound of sugar for
every four quarts to be put up.
"This may not sound like enough
to some people," says Mrs. Corne
lia C. Morris, Exteneion food con
servationist of N. C. State College,
"but it will suffice if care is used."
The Extension worker makes the
following sugar-saving suggestions
to home-canners : If you pack your
fruit hot in its own juice you will
need much less sugar than if you
pack the fruit cold, then cover it
with sugar-and-water syurp. Re
member, sugar is not needed in
canning to keep food from spoil
ing. But it does help the fruit to
hold color and flavor. By sweet
ening the fruits slightly, and then
heating it, you can draw out juice
from the fruit itsclf-in many cas
es make it unnecessary to can any
Fulton Successful
In Use Of Lime
Sam W. Mendenhall, county
farm agenrf, said that anyone doubt
ing the value of use of lime and
phosphate should visit the farm
of Jkobert Fulton in the Bethel
section.
Mr. Fulton applied five tons of
lime and 500 pounds of triple su
perphosphate to four acres of land.
This land was seeded to 15 pounds
of sapling clover and 25 pounds of
Korean lespedeza per acre. The
clover is ready to cut for hay and
an estimated yield of two tons per
acre is expected.
A check plot was made on land
where lime and phosphate were
not used, and the estimated yield
will hardly be one-half ton per
acre, Mr, Mendenhall stated.
The Navy offers thorough train
ing for enlisted men in aviation
schools where an increasing num
ber of bluejackets are studying to
be aviation metalsmiths, machin
ist's mates, ordancemen and radio
men. ,
