' This is the most contructive move that the North Carolina State Apple Grower's Association I h&s made since organization four years ago.

I j am always impressed as I travel : over this great State. To me, 1 geographically speaking. North , Carolina is a study in contrasts ] rather than comparisons. i How can one compare the Blue i Ridge Parkway with the drive1' from Oregon Inlet to Hatteras? Or the Coastal Plain with the Piedmont? But you can contrast . them by considering different soil ypes, plant materials, length of Trowing season, recreation spots, temperature and rainfall, farming systems industries, and customs of the people, which are deep rooted. A trip from Raleigh to Manteo could Include a stop at Tryon Palace, see The Lost Colony, catch bass in the sound, and the big ones from the surf or off-shore. The other day I fought traffic and stop lights from Henderson ville to Oteen. A turn to the left on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the whole picture changed.

How does the loan program work? A. at the time the producer puts his corn under the govern ment loan program, he is paid [or the amount stored at the cur rent rate of $1.49 per bushel for the commercial corn producing counties of the state and $1.12 per bushel for the non-commercial counties. If at any time during the storage period and prior to the term of the loan date, he can repay the loan, plus 3Vi per cent interest, he can reclaim his corn. At the end of the loan period, if the loan has not been repaid, the government takes over the corn and ships it to government storage. Q. Is there anything being done to improve the stock of loblolly pines now grown in North Caro lina? A. Yes. There is a program un derway at N. C.

These superior trees are taken to seed orchard; and crossed with other good trees, as a means for de veloping an improved tree stock. is running ' out. Then to Boone and "Horn in the West".

If your group is planning an outdoor get-together, barbecued turkey u a natural (or serving a large group cook-out. It's different and delici ous. Turkey is reasonably cheap at this season and nothing could make a more elegant meal than juicy brabecued turkey. The essential ingredients are young, tender turkeys combined with slow cooking to make sure that the birds are done all the way through. Ideal weights are turkeys of about four to six pounds. Split birds in halves or quarters and start the cooking skin-side up on the grill. Slow cooking and frequent basting with a good sauce helps put the rich flavor right through to the bone. Incidentally, for basting use a thin, not thick, sauce. Basting can be done with a brush, or by means of a cloth tied to end of a long stick. Keep the fire or coals very low so the bird won't scorch or cook on the outside before it is done i near the bone. The grill should be at least 14 inches from the heat source. Turn the pieces from time to time to insure even cooking, \ time. Test doneness this way: Drumstick should twist readily out of thigh joint or wing out of shoulder joint. Make sure all perishable foods you serve at your outing are pack ed cold and kept cold until serv ing time. KITCHEN RIGHT?? How high should shelves be for articles used every day? Wearing the shoes you ordinarily use for housework, stand about a foot away from the wall. Reach as high as you can without straining upward. Ask your husband to put a chalk mark on the wall at that point. That's your lower shelf limit. How low should shelves and drawers be for articles used every day? Without changing your position and without bending, lower your arm and have a chalk mark put on the wall at that point. That's your lower shelf and drawer limit. How high should a sink be? I Standing comfortably, let your arms hang naturally before you. all muscles relaxed, with your palms down. The floor of- your sink should be at the level of your palms. A difference of even a few inches can increase energy-burn ing up to 15 per cent. How high should a kitchen stool Ideally, a counter for stand-up jobs such as mixing batter or beat ing eggs should be approximately the same height as the floor of ; your sink. However, many modern counters are level with the sink drainboard. and lowering them would prove both difficult and expensive. If your counter is too 'high, try to sit at it as often as possible, adjusting your kitchen stool to the proper height. How high should a ktchen stool be? Sit at your counter or work table in a relaxed position, pre ferably on a stool or chair with a back. Your kitchen stool should be just high enough to raise your elbow-height to your table, with your feet resting on the floor or on a platform. 80APSUDS ARE BEST? Most household dirt comes from our civilized way of living; soot from Industrial plants and heating equipment, lint from linens and blankets, grease from cooking and eating indoors. The things man wears and touches get soiled from body oils and perspiration, as well as from soot and dust. Soapsuds are the best dirtr chaser for hard surfaces, textiles, plastics ? and for man himself. Soap and water get things clean Dirt has many and varied odors; soapsuds has only one ? a clean, fresh fragrance. CLEANING FURNITURE ? Wood, canvas, plastic, and cord ! webbing can be kept clean with i warm soapsuds and brisk scrub bing. Always rinse well and wipe off excess water. Olass and tile table tops need frequent washing ' with warm suds. Aluminum : Use warm-to-hot soapy water, scouring with very fine steel wool If needed. Rinse with hot water; dry, and polish with a soft cloth. Chromium: Scrub with a soapy cloth or soft brush; rinse, and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Copper: Wash in warm soapy water; add a little household ammonia to remove spots caused by corrosion. Rinse, dry, and apply a good metal polish. Pewter: Use warm soapsuds. Rinse and polish with a soft cloth. For heavily tarnished pewter, first cover with silver polish; then, while still wet. apply soap lather. Rinse In hot water and dry thor oughly. Stainless Steel: Deposits of all' kinds come off easily while fresh and soft, so wash promptly with hot soapsuds: use a sponge, fiber brush, or cloth. R$AD LABELS ? More than ever, school and casual dresses ? and piece goods ? are labeled "wash and wear," "drip dry." "needs little Ironing," and "wrin kle resistant." Vat dyes are the best dyes. They are used on cottons and rayons. A dress labeled "Sanforized," "rtigmel," or "will not shrink more than 2 per cent" should not shrink out of fit. A dress fabric that has been given special finish and labeled "crease resistant." "wash and wear," "drip dry," or "minimum care," will not shrink out of fit. either. Some names of these finishes you will find on labels are Regulated. Disciplined, Perma Pressed. Minicare, and Wrinkle Idaho Potatoes ... Onion Rings This is the time of year when Idaho's Russet Potatoes, famous not only as "bakers" but also for their all-purpose qualities, are abundant in our markets. And with them are the gentle-mannered Idaho Sweet Spanish Onions ? very large, creamy-white or yellow skinned, with a mild, sweet flavor which makes them so good for thin crisp slices in salads and sandwiches, and for making French Fried Onion Rings. And here they are, partnered to serve as the main course itself. The potatoes are scrubbed (the skins are such good eating), baked in a 400 degree F. (moderately-hot) oven until soft, and gently rolled in towel-protected hands until the fluffy, white contents push through the packed skins. Then they are topped with crisp-cooked bacon squares, to be served while still piping hot with a dollup of dairy -sour cream and snipped chives. Eat jacket and all! The Sweet Spanish Onions are wonderful "French fried". So crisp and mild are these that they do not need the soaking in ice water or milk which many recipes call for. Slice the unpeeled onions about Vi-inch thick. This makes for easier removal of skins. Peel slice*. Separate into rings. Dip in a thin fritter batter or first in undiluted evaporated milk, then im seasoned flour, so that each ring is completely coated. Drop the onion rings, a few at a time, into shortening or oil about 3 inches deep in a deep-fat frying kettle or deep skillet, and heated to 375 degrees F. Fry until golden -Ifown. Lift out with a two-tined fork; drain on paper toweling. Sprinkle with salt. Serve very hot. These fried onion rings may be kept hot by placing in a 325 degree F. (moderately-slow) oven until all 'onion rings are cooked. P. S. Dinner delayed? Scoop out the centers of the haked "Idahos", prepare as for mashed potatoes, using the sour creani mixed with a beaten egg and desired seasonings, instead of the usual hot milk and butter. Return to the potato shells. Heat in moderate oven when ready to serve. Or make these stuffed pota toes in the morning, refrigerate until serving time, then heat.
