Carver DIAL GL 6-5352 fcred Guernsey, Holsteln, Expert Answers To Farm Problems QUESTION: Is it true that North Carolina farmers use more fertiliz er than those of any other state? ANSEWER: yes. Farmers in North Carolina have recognized the importance of fertilizer in secur ing high yields for many years. In the past 15 years the amount of fertilizer used in the state has doubled. In the crop year 1952 53 Tar Heel farmers used 1,850,000 tons of plant food. QUESTION: Should I treat my home garden (100 x 200 feet) for root knot control? ANSWER: Do not consider treat ing your garden unless there is real trouble and you are sure of the cause. If root knot nematodes are the primary problem, select an inexpensive fumigant. If a soil borne fungus or bacterial disease is the main problem, soil treatment may not be practical or it may pay you to treat with a more expensive material such as chloropicrin These materials are toxic to hu mans and animals and care must be exercised in their use. Observe all precautions given by manufac turers. Bookmobile Schedule Tuesday, Dec. 15 IRON DUFF, CRABTREE-HYDEB MTN. Mrs. E. W.

I Root Vegetables Play An J Important Role In Diets I ? By Ruth Current State Home Demonstration Agent Root vegetables are In season the year round. Strictly speak ing, not all vegetables that grow underground are roots?white po tatoes are tubers, onions aqe bulbs. But for cooking purposes we'll call them all roots. Scrub root vegetables well be fore cooking. Start them in boiling salted water?about 1 teaspoon ot salt to a quart of water. Young, tender roots need only enougn water to prevent them trom stick ing to the pan. For older roots, have enough boiling water to cov er. To keep the flavor of onions and turnips mild, leave the kettle uncovered. To speed the cooking of others, put on the lid. Boil root vegetables whole in their sgin unless too strong or top tough. Nature grew this jacket to hold in food value and flavor. If peel you must, make the peelings thin or scrape no more than skin deep. To keep beets from losing their bright red color, leave on the long tap root and an inch or two of stems. A quick dip into cold water loosens the Jacket on a cooked beet so it slips off like a glove. USE "LEFT-OVER" MEAT ? A good way to use left-over lamb or beef is in a meat pie. Partially cook vegetables. Then place the vegetables and meat, cut in cubes, in a baking dish. Top with baking powder biscuit crust left-over mashed potatoes whipped up with a little milk and used as a top. If potato topping is used, do not use potatoes in the pie. Diver Is No Swimmer NEWARK. N. J. (API ? Frank E. Gllman, 70, still working as a diver, never has learned to swim despite the thousands of under water jobs. Born near ' the sea at Houlton, Me., Gllman explained: "When I get into the water, seems like I sink like a rock." He worked as a lumberjack in 1 the Maine woods until he was 32 1 and got into diving in 1915 when a friend in South Carolina asked him to help In a dam construction Job. Gilman was the man above wa ter who helps the diver. One day the diver got drunk and failed to show up. Gllman went down and he's been diving ever since. Some scientists believe that emi gration never has slowed down the population growth of a large coun try. , Farm Information The average American eats 94 pounds of potatoes each year. In 1953, tobacco consumption per person 15 years or older (In the United States and Its over seas armed forces) was practical ly the same as during 1952? about 10 per day per person, in cluding non-smokers. In 1952, expenditures for tobac co accounted for 7.9 per cent of the total expenditure on goods and services in the United King dom, compared with 2.4 per cent in the United States. Total United States tobacco production this year is estimat ed at 2.04 billion pounds. Record consumer incomes con tinue to support a strong United States demand for food. High production from a few cows is more profitable than medium production from many cows. Production of Grade A milk in North Carolina during 1953 is up 14.6 per cent over that of 1952. For hog-killing purposes, wat er at about 145 degrees is best. The Dixie Bright tobaccos tend to get a yellowish tinge in the field before they are ready for priming. Seven separate marketing arras have been established by the newly created North Caro lina Milk Commission. Glaciers Receding WEST GLACIER. Mont. (AI*V?.. Glacier National Park's largest ice masses?some equivalent to near ly 70 city blocks?are slowly re ceding. A U. S. Geological Survey staff, which yearly makes profiles of the park's principal glaciers, re ported the park's largest glacier? Sperry ? now covers only 300 acres. In 1900 the ice mass cover ed 840 acres. However. M. E. Beatty, chief park naturalist, said the present year was favorable to glaciers. Early spring snow lasted through the summer despite a warmer than usual July. Annual precipita tion at the glacier exceeds 100 I inches.
