"Vanilla ice cream with choco late sauce," said Dolly, as she went back into the kitchen to serve it After she had filled several plates, she called her husband. "Willis," she said, "take some of these in so that they can get start ed: and take the chocolate sauce in too." Willis did as he was directed. Before each guest he placed a saucer oi tne ice cream. "Help yourself to the chocolate sauce," he directed, placing it within easy reach of Mr. Blount. Mr. Blount helped himself. So did Mr. Cherry. So did Willis and the other guests. Dolly was still back in the kitch en. Mr, Cherry took his first mouth ful. "Delicious!" he murmured. "Best sundae I've had in a long time." The other guests followed suit. There was a brief Interval be fore they took the second mouthful. "Certainly is good," said Mr. Blount, but somewhat faintly. Mr. Smith had a puzzled expres sion upon his face. He started to say something, but changed his mind. Mr. Cherry, however, went ahead with his eating, carrying on a running conversation in the mean time. Finally Mr. Smith put down his spoort, "There's something wrong with this sauce!" he exclaimed. "Mine tastes all right," said Mr. Cherry,: ' "I can't help it," said Willis. '"There's something wrong with it. . , . . Dolly!" Mrs. Smith entered the dining room. "Some more ice cream?" she asked. "No!" said Willis. "There's something wrong with this choco late sauce." "I don't see how there could be," said Dolly. "Alma always makes it mighty good." "I don't care how good she makes it; it isn't good tonight." "Tastes all right to me," mur mured Mr. Blount, coughing slightly- "You brought in the blue pitcher, didn't you?" asked Dolly of her husband. "Of course I did." Mrs. Smith walked over to the pitcher. She picked it up and examined its contents. A strange expression flitted across her coun tenance. An expression of bewil derment. "Good heavens!" she exclaimed. "What's the matter?" inquired Mr. Cherry, who was just taking the last mouthful out of his saucer. "This isn't chocolate sauce," said Dolly. "What is it then 1" demanded Willis. "It's" His wife found it diffi cult to finish the sentence. "It's gravy for the roast!" she cried. "Alma put it in the wrong pitcher." Quickly gathering up the dishes, she rushed them back to the kitch en, cleaned them and filled them up with fresh cream.

AAA Participation Was 88 Percent Last Year North Carolina had a larger participation in the Agricultural Conservation Program in 1940 than in any previous year, accord ing to an announcement by E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of State College, and G. T. Scott, Johnston county farmer who heads the state AAA committee. About 7,030,000 acres or 77 per cent of North Carolina's 7,990, 000 acres of cropland, was covered by farms in the 1940 program, as compared with 63 per cent in 1930. The previous high mark was 83 per cent in 1938. ' ;;"': Both Floyd and Scott predicted that at least 90 per cent, and pos sibly as much as 95 per cent of the cropland in the state will be cov vered by participation in the 1941 program. "The increased participation," Floyd sad, "is to a larger extent the result of farmers' efforts to emprffpnov for tobacco, and it re flected increased interest in soil conservation during the past year. Preliminary figures show impor tant increases over all previous vpnrs in the use of lime and Dhos- phate, in acreage planted to winter cover croDS. and in the sedinsrs of other soil-building legumes and grasses. Approximately 17 mil lion feet of terracing was complet ed, which was also a record. North Carolina farmers sartici- oatinir in the 1940 urogram earned 78.5 per cent of their maximum sou-building payment, as compared with 60 per cent in 1936, the first year of the Agricultural Conserva tion Program. "Wn farmers." Chairman Scott declared, "have found that higher farm income and improved lertin- ty of our soils are real benefits that have resulted from the great er participation in the Farm Pro gram.",'.." what to say," she said, as she put the fresh plates before her guests. "No need to be worried," Mr. Cherry told her. "It tasted fine to me.

N. C. Entire Farm Family Benefits From Electric Water System By IRA MILLER farm Electrification Bureau HOW many tons of water did you and your family pump and car ry last year to satisfy your needs and those of your stock and garden? A minimum of 20 to 30 ton if you MWUWIIJIIMUW I - . i-. t." i ' With running water In the house, she saves hour of hard work. did not have an automatic pressure water system; probably none if you did. .. Few farmers realize how much time and labor the "hired hands." usually his wife and children, spend in hand pumping water for the kitchen alone 30 eight-hour days and 200,000 steps each year being the average. But, doing it themselves, they should be conscious of the work and discomfort particularly in bad weather involved in pump ing or hauling water for the live stock and other about-the-fann uses. If few farmers appear to give much thought to the time and labor necessary to hand pump Itoelr wa ter supply, even fewer give any consideration to the cost thereof. Were a farmer offered two to five cents a day for his services and those of his family, he would be justly indignant Yet that Is his own valuation if he does not install an electric water system. An automatic electric pressure water system perhaps does more to improve the standard of living on the farm than any other single piece of equipment It is difficult to place a value on the comfort, health and convenience of hot and cold running water in the kitchen, laundry, toilet and bath. Nor should the protection against fire afforded by an adequate water system be overlooked, as fig ures prove that about 75 of all property involved in farm and rural fires is totally destroyed. Although pressure water systems j are available with other sources of j power, . Uiuao wiai cue vm.vm operated are the most economical, reliable and trouble free. ; When planning and installing an elec m water Kvstem and the nec essary plumbing facilities, it is best first to write the extension aivision of your state college or university for general information on the sub ject Then, after you have made a rough estimate of your require ments, call on the agricultural en gineer of your power company, your county agent the local electrical or plumbing contractor, or the manu facturers of the pumping equipment.
