State College All these years you fiavc been eatiiig turnips and turnip greems, but did you know just how many vitamins they contaiined? Turnip greens supply vitamin A, several of the B-vitamins and vitamin C When it comes to tunnips, ruta bagas rate slightly higher in food value than white turnips. They contain no vitamin A but do give you a gemerous supply of vitamin B-l and vitamin C, riboflavin and niacin. Rutabagas al|o iare^slightly richer" in carbohydrates and min erals than th^e white turnips. There are many- ways of saving soap which will help in the war effort. Keep soap dry after each use and use only as much as is needed to overcome the hardness of the waiter. Use a soap shaker for sua]) scraps and pour boiling water over them in a bowl. The resulting jelly kept near Che sink can be used in washing dishes and clothes. For the bath, small bits of soap in a thin bag are . just as good as a large cake of soap. A thin cake can be pressed onto a larger cake when liot'li ar,e wet and tihe small, cake will become a part of the larger one. State College Answer* Timely Farm Questions QUESTION : How many hogs should the average former grow? ANSWER : To reach Nor(h Car olina's goal in pork production the "'?farnver should keep one or more brood sows and breed them twice a year. Feed at least twice as many -hogs as are needed for home consumption and sell the surplus. Feeder pigs may now be bought and raised at a profit. Hog feed has advanced 18 percent since January 19+2 while the price of pork lias advanced 25 percent. QUESTION : How can I preiore a soap spray for garden insects ? Answer: Dr. B. B. Fulton, re search entomologist, N. C. State College, advises that you dissolve one pound of soap in a gallon of boiling water. If bar soap is tts^d it should be cut up so as to dis solve quickly. Add five gallons of cold water to make six gallons of spray and apply when the plants are wet with dew or on a cloudy day. Worms, plant lice and terra pin bugs will be killed. QUESTION : Why is there a shortage of milk and milk pro ducts? ANSWER: Army and lend-lease demands for milk and its many products and a larger civilian de mand due mainly to an increased labor income has greatly lessened the available supply. Labor short ages experienced by some dairymen have forced dairies to close. On the other hand it offers opportun ities for other farmers to get into the dairy business and greatly in crease the dairy industry in North Carolina. The dairy cow can con sume chcap feeds and grass and oonwenf it into more units of food ?hlm any other animal. Old pastures should be improved and new pastures should be made un til at least one and one-half acres of good pasture are available {or ouch nature animal to b* (rased. AG Club Officers At N. C.
