In the Piedmont, with labor at $1 an hour, a power take-off harvester is econ omical If you have as much as 100 tons of corn. If labor costs less, say 60 cents, you would have to have 125 tons of corn before it would pay to buy a forage harvest- i pr 1 " ?????? j QUESTION: How long does it take to cool eggs to CO degrees?

Roosters are strictly a liabil ity in flocks of growing pullets and in the laying house. And they'll eat a man's share of feed, so let's cull them They'll help buy feed for the "working girls." Prepare House And Sow Now For Farrowing Expecting pigs'.' It's high time you cleaned the farrowing house ! and the sow. Good hogmcn don't need to be told how important it is to have clean, dry farrowing quarters. They rake out all dirt and litter, scrub and disinfect wa ter* rs and feeding equipment, then sprinkle disinfecting solution over the floors, walls and all." Be sure the sow is clean and thoroughly disinfected with Pur ina Disinfectant solution before you put her into the farrowing house. This gives your pigs a bet ter chance to reach market. College Test Shows Flyfree Cows Produced Best Experimenting at a mid-west State College showed that cows in p sprayed herds averaged over 3 a lbs. a day morp milk than cows in unsprayed herds.

Fruits and vegetables always | find welcome space on the pantry ! shelves, With the peach season well unler way. Iula Pritchard. exten sion economist in food eonserva-; tion and marketing, recommends j the hot and cold pack canning method. First of all, peaches should be ripe, but firm, and have a good flavor. In the hot pack method, they should be washed thoroughly atpl sorted as to color, ripeness, and size For easy peeling, put the peaches in a wire basket or cheese cloth and dip for a minute or two in boiling water. They should then be dipped quickly into cold water. After they have been dipped, they are easily peeled. Slip the skins off. cut in halves, and take out the pits. To keep them from darkening, drop them into a gallon of water containing two table spoons of salt and two tablespoons vinegar and then drain. If the fruit is juicy, add one-half cup sugar to each quart of raw ? fruit and heat to boiling For less; juicy fruit, drop halves into thin! to medium syrup, boiling hot. and heat through. The hot peaches should then be [ packed into hot jars and covered j with boiling syrup. Adjust lids and process pint and quart jars 20 min utes in boiling water bath. I In the cold pack method, the Tenderness In Meat May Be Inherited There is some evidence from re search with rabbits and in stuclies of sheep and beef cattle that ten derness in meat is an inherited quality, according to the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. To produce more lean moat of good quality and tenderness, farm ers need a better understanding of what makes tenderness and desir able flavor, says USDA research scientists. Enough research has been done to show there is no direct relation between tenderness in the meat and outside fat. But tenderness and flavor may be influenced by the particles of fat within the moat cells. It is also possible that there may be a relationship between tenderness and the size and elasti city of different muscle fibers. Once the chemical nature of ten derness and good flavor are clearly understood, it may become possible to add these qualities to any meat. Degree By Degrees TOLEDO. Ohio. <AP? ?

He's held a job. moving from drafts man to chief engineer while a stu dent in one or two courses per semester in night school Be careful in using frozen foods that have accidentally thawed. If ice crystals are still in the food, re freeze it immediately. If it is com petely thawed, use it immediately, or throw it away. It has been estimated that there are more than 10.000 species of de strucive imocts in the United States. And the average farmer probably feels he has some of all of them. peaches are prepared the same way as hot pack up to the point of cook ing. The raw fruit Is packed to one half inch of the jar top and covered with boiling liquid (thin syrup or juice), leaving one-half inch head space. Adjust lids and process pint jars 25 minutes and quart jars 35 minutes. Don't Be A Sissy About Color Let your heart be your guide! If you yearn for gay pastels ... or bright hues . . . use 'em!

State Warns Of Gyps In Field Of Pest Control Back From Russia ?hbhhbr PREMIER Otto Grotewohl of East Germany is shown as he re turned to East Berlin after con ferences with Kremlin leaders in Moscow. He immediately in spected an honor guard com posed of a unit of the National People's Army. (International) # ' A recent study in the Piedmont area of North Carolina shows that on low income farms, family in come fould be increased only $3.60 by adding anotfier acre of land. A move to take "gyps" out of the pest control business has been underway for the past year by the Structural l'est Control Commis sion, according to Dr. Clyde F. Smith, head of the entomology de partment ol N. C. State College. Smith, recently elected chairman of the commission, says that the commission has been busy setting up the framework for licensing the pest control operators in North Carolina and also in preparing rules, regulations, and minimum standards for them to follow. Here are a few tips whV'h will help make ."tire you areff ??hng with a reliable pest eontroropera tor: If possible, deal with "home folks" w horn you know. Be sure he has an established headquarters and a dependable local reputation. Insist on knowing what he is go ing to do and obtain an estimate of the cost. If not satisfied, obtain es timates from other operators. There's no secret formula for con trolling termites. Ask him to show you the damage or the pest. If you are troubled with termites and the colony is ac tive, soldier and worker termites will be present when you break into the damaged timbers. Also, if the damage is caused by termites and not decav. there will be mud in the damaged timbers where the termties have eaten wood away. Beware if he wants to charge by the number of gallons of materials used. This does not give a true picture of the work that is needed to control the termites. Nprth Carolina farmers were paying slightly more for most fur niture items on March 15, 1956, than they were on the same date a year earlier. NOW IS THE TIME TO PAINT YOUR HOME ?
