State College Hints
By Ruth Current, State Hoim
Demonstration Agent N C.
State College.
Black walnuts need prompt gath
ering and hulling as soon as they
are ripe. A handpower corn shel
ler can be used for hulling, but
rolling nuts under foot on the
ground also removes hulls easily.
After hulls are off, dump nuts
immediately into a tub of water
and churn with a broom until
clean. Then spread nuts on the
floor in a well-ventilattd room to
cure. Stir nuts frequently so that
there will be no molding.

Gilbert Jolly, Jr. S 2c
Home For 30 Days
Gilbert Jolly, Jr., seaman second
class, 16 y;ar old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Gilbert Jolly of Clyde, R.F.D.
No. 1, is spending a 30 day leave

Your child're school lunch n- im
portant! Unless the child gets
milk as a beverage at three meals
it is difficult to get in his quart a
day. Also, bi cause of the child's
smaller stomach capacity, dividing
his food fairly equally between all
three meals is much better than
having him "catch up" at a heavy
dinner at night. Packed lunches
are apt to be monotonous and un
balanced unless milk, fruit and
vegetables are included.
Highly seasoned foods, stimulat
ing beverages, and sweets should
have very little place in the child's
diet. Fruit or milk desserts may
be added occasionally.
New electric irons now coming
on the market have all-plastic
handles. These handles are lighter
in weight and more comfortable to
hold than the older type handles,
but need special protection against
dropping or falling because they
will smash.
A fall can cause serious break
age to any electric iron, new or old.
To save the iron from falling al
ways set it on a stand or on its own
heel on a firm, level place. Have
a steady ironing board. Never
stretch the cord across a space
where a hasty foot may trip and
pull the iron to the floor.
