MARCH 18, 1943 Food Conservation Program Drawing National Attention The state-wide Food Conservation Workshop, which was held at Raleigh March 5 and 6, began a movement which will carry safe and practical methods of food preservation to every to every county In North Carolina. E ghty-five food nutritionists, re presenting college, extension and commercial home economics depart ments, united to carry the mes.sge of food production and food conservat ion to every family in the State. Following the Raleigh conference, two-day training courses are being held in all counties; for leaders in the towns and cities; and neighbor hood leaders in the country districts. Demonstrations in the latest methods of steam pressure canning, hot water cooking, freezing, drying and brining will be given. Every effort will be made to conserve, without food spoil age, all of the surplus fruits and veg etables that come from this year's crop of Victory Gardens. The food situation is serious, but the workshop conference pointed out that North Carolina victory Gard eners can have a year-round supply of fresh vegetables and can easily can enough of the surplus supply to fully take care of the situation, if everyone who can grow a yood gar den, cooperates. Victory Gardens are not rationed and neither are the home-canned products from these gardens rationed. 3Z Only the y The unitfied program of North Carolina nutritionist , is in the Nat ional spotlight.

Farmers Must Have Permits To Deliver Meats Farmers who kill animals for home use do not need a slaughter permit, but they are required to se cure one if they deliver any part of the meat to others, says I. O. Schaub, director of extension at N. C. State College. The Goverment issued three permit orders which become effective after midnight March 31. They required: (1) All livestock slaughters who sell meat, including farmers and local butchers, to operate under a slaught er permit system and, as an aid to enforcement, to stamp their permit (2) All livestock dealers to obtain permits to buy and sell livestock and to keep complete records of their operations (Farmers are not required to obtain dealer permits, but they are asked to keep records of their purchases and sales)? (3) All slaughterers, operating un der Federal inspection, to set aside designed percentages of their pro duction for war uses. The stamping of all meat is specif ically designed to halt the black mar Red Cross does ket operator. According to Schaub, growers, who obtain permits for the delivery of meat directly to consum er, may comply with the permit re quirements by attaching tags, show ing the permit number, to the meat they deliver. The dealer in 1 vestock gets no stamp of any kind, but he must keep full records on all sale?. The authorities have requested all livestock producers, packers, deal ers, health officials, and consumers to aid in eliminating the illegal slaughtering, selling and distribution of meats.

You can make progress, if you think of your posture at all times and make a consious offect to improve and to stand straight and tall, keep your knees slightly bent and relaxed, with the abdomen flat (held up and in). Keep your hips pulled down, in the posotion that you naturally take when you make ourself small to squ eeze through a narrow space, with your buttocks muscles tucked under. Keep the shoulders level, twinging free and relaxed. The chest and ribs should be held up in any easy posit ion. Keep your head well up and perfectly balanced; your chin level with the ground; and your body parts balanced directly one over the other. Always watch the ear-to-ankle line, a straight line drawn through the lobe of the ear, the tip of the should der, the hip, and the ankle bone. Roy H.

Only your gifts State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Can the "jitterbug" disease with pigs be controlled? A. Yes. Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veter inarian for the North Carolina Ex periment Station, suggests that all sowj be given liberal, well-balanced grain rations and proper supplements before the pigs are born. If any pigs show loss of appetite, rough hair, or lowered vigor, they should be ep- arated from the rest of the litter and hand fed. Corn sirup, fed in; proper proportions, has been beneficial but it should be fed under proper gul dance to prevent scours. Q. Is is worthwhile growing herb just for seasoning? A. Home demonstration specialists answer, "yes". Herbs give zest and flavor to many foods that might otherwise be dull, and they help bring changes when the same foods are used frequently. Parsley in the herb border is a good sourse of vit- ' am ins A and C. Chives for onion fla vor, thyme and sage for stuffings, basil for tomato soups and sauces, and mint for summer drinks are re commended. Your neighbor might plant dill for pickles, omelets and salads, marjoram for soups and sal ads; and rosemary for lamb and ceal. Then, you might exchange herbi with your neighbor. Q. Are there any good chemical supports the Red Cross! Rent Increase Permitted 4 Rooming house owners who rent to an operating tenant may petition for higher rent if there has been an increase In the number of roomers in the house since the maximum rent date, the state OPA announced today. This ground for an increase applies only to the rent paid the owner of the rooming house by the person op erating it. and does not affect maxi mum rents set for individual rooms. 1st. weed killers? A. Sodium chlorate, sulphuric acid, carbon disulphide, and common salt are flour of the best. The first two kill the plants above the ground and the other two kill plants below the ground. Full instructions should be obtained for any of these treatments. With sodium chlorate, for instance, a solution should be made up, one pound to the gallon, and sprayed upon the plants. This chemical is very active and it must at aU times be kept away from fire and never should be stored near sulphur. With sulphuric acid, a 1 to 2 per cent solutione is sprayed on the plants. Care should be taken in mix ing the acid and the water. This spray is to be applied only in dry weather.
