PAGE SIX MANY PROTECT ! MEATS FROM SKIPPER FLIES —— ~ tfj Raleigh, Jan. 28.—Much meat on the farm is subject to the attacks of the ham skipper which is a small fly resembling a winged ant. Maggots from eggs laid by this fly may cause considerable damage and it is a wine plan to wrap the meat or screen the smokehouse so that the fly cannot •iter. This skipper is much smaller than the common house fly. The maggots produced from these flies attack most ly the pork hams and shoulders which have been cured or smoked. The fresher the meat, the more rapid the injury. Old pieces of meat which have become hard and dfy and which are sometimes covered with a coating of blue mold or a salvelike layer of fat .seem to be immune from attack. Very fat meat, like bacon, is not ex tensively injured. The inspct apparent ly prefers lean meat. The best control method is to pre vent the adult flies from entering the storage room. This can be done by screening with a 80-mesh wire cloth and by seeing that flies do not enter the room when the" door it opened. Where the flies can enter this room, the usual method of preventing in festation, is to wrap each piece of meat with paper, and then enclose it in a tight sack. If the screen mesh wire is used, wrapping is not needed. Meats stored in a well screened smokehouse should need no further protection. Where infestedyisfrat can not be re-conditioned by tifmming, the meat should be destroyed. Bones should not be allowed near the meat as the skippers breed within these old bones. There is an excellent market for well-cured hams and such meat is too valuable to permit it to be ruined by the attacks of these flies. Press wool garments while still i damp with a medium hot iron until [ they are dry. Use a pressing cloth if j ironing on the right side. Slightly j dampened cheesecloth "is useful in j pressing flannels, as it draws up the fluff of the material. Measles Cases Total 3,443 for Past Week Kaleigh, Jan. '24, —Again the week's total of measles in North Carolina ran above 3,000, it wan learned from the Buerau of Epidemiology of the State Board of Health yesterday. The total for the week just passed was .'1,443, as compared to 3,689 for the week be- j fore and over 6,000 for the week be fore that. Since November there "hat. been a definite epidemic of measles all over , North Carolina, said Dr. Charles O'H. 1 Laughinghouse, State health officer, but medical science is yet to learn an adequate means of coping with this disease. Dr. Laughinghouse also,said that measles was a much more serious , disease than is generally believed. • The death rate among children is 1 high and after effects are severe. I There were over 32,000 oases of measles in North Carolina that year, the greatest total s nee the epidemic \ of 1924 when there were over 34,000 cases. State Next to Last in Per Capita Tax in 1926 Kaleigh, Jan. 22.—With but one ex ception, North Carolina in 1926 had the lowest per capita cost of mainte- ; nance of Sjtate government of any of j the forty-height. This fact is pointed out in the analysis of State taxes and debts made by the Division of Com merce and Industry of'the" Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment, which is expected to be avail able for distribution at an early date. "North Carolina," says the an alyais, "in 1926 paid only $5.76 per inhabitant toward the maintenance of the State government, exclusive of capital outlay and interest charges, according to the Federal Department of Commerce. Only one State, Ala bama, paid less, 1&.66, and the other 46 States paid more. Mi«s Lucy Clair., Ivey and Mr. Hany Vaughn spent Sunday in Scot land Neck with reli stives and friends.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM Here is a simple method of testing sand to find out whether it has too much clay with it to make a desirable concrete. Put 4 intfhes of the sand into a pint preserving jar. Fill the jar with clear water to within an inch of the top. Fasten the lid. Shake the jar thoroughly until the whole is well mixed. Set the jar aside and allow the contents to settle. The sand will go to the bottom. The clay and loam will form a layer on top of the sand. If more than three-eights of an inch of clay or loam Bhows, the sand is not clean enough for making concrete. Either a new source of sand mußt be found or the sand must be washed to rid it of the surplus of clay and loam. Give a child a variety of food flavors early in life. In many cases foods people think they do not like are foods they have never tasted. , j Smooth, soft cotton materials that launder easily are best for children's rompers. Cotton charmeuse, ginghams, prints, cotton crepe, sateen, and fine broadcloth are good fabrics for the purpose. When you wash handkerchiefs and other small articles in a washing ma chine, inclosp.them in a net or muslin bag to keep them together and make them easier to handle in the wringer and rinse waters. More farmers plan to sell their corn as pork next spring. The county agent of Person county reports that number 34 was built last week.

Well fed hogs from North Carolina command a premium on certain eastern mar kets. Tom Tarheel says he never could understand why his neighbor sells all his eggs when a healthy well-fed fam ily is worth more than a few pieces of silver.

According to J. I). Woolard, of the Williamston Co., Firestone deal ers in Williamston. the way to get the most mileage and best service from tires is totiave them looked over reg ularly and frequently. Like the old adage about a stitch in time, a little care will often prevent serious loss of tire mileage. treads should be* inspected for cuts and bruises, and any small re pairs needed should be made immedi ately. It is important to have the Wheels aligned iind' the proper air pressure i maintained, if the motorist is to get all the service entitled to from his tires. " Always use valve caps. Screw each one down tightly by hand. This will prevent ari leakage and uudcrinflation ditliculties.
