Vegetables Can Be Stored Eor Winter There is no reason for discarding surplus vegetables, or for dumping them on a depressed market, says H. R. Niswonger, horticnltorist of the N. C. State College Extension Service. But on the other hand, there is no use to store vegetables that are not of high quality, free from me chanical injuries, insects and diseas es, and mature but not over-ripe. "If you put an inferior, diseased, damaged product in storage it will come out an inferior, diseased, dam aged product, in worse condition than i when it wait in," Niswonger declar ed. The problem of where to store vegetables is important, and the State College specialist makes the following recommendations along this line: Beans and field peas may be picked in the pod, spread out in a warm' dry place in the attic until dried, and after being shelled the beans should be placed in tight con tainers and treated with carbon disnlphkle to control weevils. ' - Boot crops, such as carrots, beets and turnips, should have the tops cot of, leaving short leaf stems, be fore storing. They may be stored in; shallow crates and placed in the cel lar. An occasional sprinkling with water will prevent shriveling. Cab bage and collards can best, be stored in tranches out-of-doors. Another method commonly need in Eastern Carolina consists of pushing the heads of the plants toward the North and covering the stem and base of the heads with soil The plants are thus, left right in the row where they ? ? ~'i ' i ~i Economics.) mono, doafrSj^^STdSa!^^ IgA Consumer demand^Expanding, >"^^T- '"jy' '?:&. ?kk(?M dafcfc products rising mzM*bT *m ?* I more. ^^aT^lr!*?

STATECOLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: What price is the new milk plant at Statesville paying for fluid milk? ANSWER: Extension dairyman, John Any, says this plant is paying $1*60 per hundred pounds for 4 per cent milk with a premium on milk of higher butterfat Right now, 2J500 farms arte supplying this milk plant with about 80,000 pounds of milk a day and are finding this market a good substitute for cash crops. - QUESTION: Is barley a good feed for hon? "> -- " ? ANSWER: Yea. Pound for pound it is not as efficient as corn but bar ley does produce pork of excellent quality. It does not pay to grind oorn for -hogs but it does pay to grind barley and the 'grinding in creases its feed value by 17 percent. If barief is substituted for com as h^ feed^i Extension swine specialist Ellis -Vestal, recommends that ISO pounds of the whole barley replace 100 pounds of shelled corn. Because of the usual droughts in summer, it may be well to plant some jbarley this faB fctf-hog feed next year.

Now that affaire in the "Far East are becoming more dangerous every day, Soviet Russia finds herself woo ed by both the United States and Great Britain, Whether the confer ences in Washington, London and Moscow involve. more than prelimi nary soundings to ascertain attitudes will not be apparent until definite an nouncements are made. .. The British have been working for some months to establish more har monious relations with the Soviet regime, especially Bince the newly formed alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan, but the two nations have not been able to agree c^on a trade pact The United States, it is felt, is in a better position to nego tiate with the Soviet Considerable doubt exists that Joseph Stalin will males* an overt move because the Rus sians probably figure that they are in a good spot By declining to join either group, or to commit them selves, the Soviet retains freedom of action whenever and wherever it may be profitable for the Soviet to move.
