A State College Hints For Farm Homemakers (By Ruth Current ol State College) Take care of the fallen leaves. No, don't burn them. Your soil needs them. Spade them into the soil so that they will break down into val uable organic material, called humus, for next spring's Victorious Victory Gardens. Your flowers will need just what these leaves will do in soil improve, ment, too.. Save your leaves. Did you know that Irish potatoes stored in the light will turn green and taste bitter? That they will spoil if frozen? , Potatoes should be stored in a cool dark place where the temperature does not rise above 60 degrees or fall below 40 degrees. Garbage surveys show that the av erage American wastes 225 paunds of food a year A good 6-weeks supply of wasted food is like throwing vic tory into the garbage can. A cleaner plate is a war-way to victory. A good way to use leftover mash- potatoes is in making soup. Add small amount cf water or milk to the potatoes and cook for a few min utes, stirring until the lumps are dis solved. Then, add a small onion and some diced celery leaves. When done, add enough hot milk for the desired amount of soup. Garnish with chop ped parsley or celery leaves, if de- Cuts Piilpwood To Keep Tenants Busy Cutting piilpwood during slack seasons will enable many landlords to keep their tenants busy through out the year, earning extra money and better satisfied, reports, Farm Forester H. E. Blanchard of White i ville. He cites the plan of a Columbus County farmer, who has 140 acres in timber, to employ his two tenants in thinning out the pulpwood over a five-year period, or about thirty acres a year. "At the end of five years, the grow er will be able to start cutting pulp wood all over again. At the end of his second thinning cycle, he will have a stand of timber that is about ready to cut on a selective basis, Blanchard points out. The Columbus County farmer is of the opinion, according to the forester, "That many tenants move just be cause they haven't anything else to do for two or three months of the year when they would like to be earn- ing extra money. Tenants are better ! satisfied when they can be kept busy 1 during the entire year." I In cutting the pulpwood referred to above, the grower plans to cut all oak gum and other materials not fit ted for pulpwood and use it as heat er wood or tobacco wood. sired.

V i. 1 tMMmn, Pecan Trees For Every Farm Home Every farm in North Carolina should have a few pecan tiecs in the farm yard for quality nuts, good shace and ornamental purposes, says J. Y. Lassiter, horticulturist at State Col lege. . For the eastern section of the state, he recommends the Stuart, Schley, and Brake varieties; for the Pied- , mont section, Stuart, Indiana, and Green River; and for the mountains. Indiana, Green River, and Busseron. The best time to plant these trees, according to Lassiter. is between Dec ember 1 and Febraury 15 so that they will have a chance to get firmly set in the soil before spring. He fur ther recommends that the trees be set only in well drained, fertile soil, at a distance of from 50 to 75 feet apart. H les for setting the trees should be deep enough to accommodate the large tap root and the soil should be firmly packed around the tap roots and the lateral routs. As to fertilization, the horticult urist suggests the use of commercial fertili?er or compost with super phosphate in starting the tree off to a quick growth. He recommends a 4-8-6 fertilizer for average condi tions, the amount to be increased at the rate of about 2 pounds per year, w-ith applications the latter part of February or the first of March. "The best system of culture is a green manure cr ;p during the winter and clean cultivation during the sum mer when the trees begin to set nuts",' Lassiter says.

SERVICE CAB CO. I Extension specialists at State Col : lege say that reports show mange is ; not only of common occurence in ' hogs arriving at public stockyards, i but also (hat many cases are well ad- ! vanced, indicating serious infection1 on farms where the hogs originated.' H.g mange damages the dressed: carcasses and results in price losses. When the skin is injured by mange j mites, the grade together ,vith tiiej value of the carcass, is lowered. In I advanced cases, valuable cuts are! damaged and an be used only as trim mings. The specialists point out that there are two kinds of hog mange. The common type does most of the dam age. In this, the mites burrow into the skin, first around the head and neck and spread from there.causing inflamation and swelling of the skin tissues. The skin becomes thicken ied and develnpes wrinkles and folds. As the infection is contagious it spreads rapidly in a herd when hogs are closely confined. Twelve home demonstration clubs met in Hoke County in November. ! 158 club women attended the meetings ' which had as their major project "Care and Repair of Clothing". j The home agent attended the annu al meeting of the Lumbee Electric Membership Corporation which was : held at the Raeford Court House on : Nov. 3 and gave a short talk on "De hydrating Fruits and Vegetables". A dehydrator owned by the REA Coop- ! eration was used in the demonstra- tion. j Ten 4-H Club girls and boys from Hoke County joined club members from Anson and Harnett counties at Camp Mackall on Nov. 12 and enjoy ed a'conducted tour of the camp.

FOR DEPENDABLE 24 HOUR SERVICE OWNED AND OPERATED BY McKElTHAN & WRIGHT I I This mange responds readily to treatment on the farm. Dipping in a medicated bath is the most thorough method of killing the mange mites. Treated animals should then be mov ed to clean quarters or the old en closures should be thoroughly clean ed of all litter and disinfected. The other form of hog mange is caused by a different parasite. There is no known cure for it. but it spreads rapidly and its effect on animals is less severe than common mange. The best way to get rid of the infection is to dispose ,f the affected animals and disenfect the quarters. 3 C jWc want to clean your clothes for Christmas BUT---- Please Don't Wait!
