State College Hmts To Farm Homemakers QUESTION; How can I keep my turkeys picking feathers from other birds? .4\SWER: Feather picking is a mild' form of cannabalism, and flesh picking is a more severe form, , says L. 'VV. Herrick, Jr,. turkey specialist with the State College Extension Service. He says ample feeder and floor space will reduce this trouble considerably. Providing oats as one of the grains appears to be helpful in preventing feather picking and cannibalism also. Baled alfalfa or some other le- Raeford THEATRE Open At 5 P. M.

Debeaking. cutting or burning off the outer one-fourth inch' of the upper mandible will control this babit. Another way is to fit a hog ring into the nostrils with out penetrating the septum and allowing it to swing between the upper and lower parts of the beak is also effective. None of these methods interfere with eating or drinking says Herrick. QUESTION: Can peppers be frozen? ANSWER: Yes, say food pre servation specialists. The Ruby Kihg or Pimiento variety should be used. They^ should be washed, halved or sliced and scalded for two minutes. Then cool, pack and freeze. A mixture of green, red and yellow pepper shoes makes beautiful combination to use with corn or other vegetables, say the specialists. Package these in small amounts. Halves may be frozen and used as stuffed peppers. Fro zen peppers are not suitable for salads where crispness is desired QUESTION: How many seed potatoes will I need to plant an acre of sweet potatoes? ANSWER: It depends on the size of the seed and method of growing the sprouts or vine cut tings, says the ■ specialists. For example, in a hot bed six bushels of potatoes one and one- half inches in diameter will pro duce enough in three pullings. In a cold frame the requirements are seven bushels. In “mammy rows'* (field bedding in rows) it will re quire eight to 10 bushels to pro duce enough vine cuttings by Tar Heels Don^t Drink Enough Milk “Let me tote him home, Carl,” young Bob Akin, above pleads with Carl Longworth who caught the TVa pound large- mouth bass.

Any. jar with the slightest crack or chip should be discarded because these defects may prevent an airtight seal and thus lead to spoilage. The same is true of lids with dent ed or spread edges, or masonry- type caps with loose or cracked linings. The flat lids of two-piece met al closures cannot be re-used so should be discarded when the jar iof food is opened. Generally it is safest to buy these lids new each year, even if some unused are left from the year before. The pressure gage of a canner should be checked for accuracy each year. The specialists remind . house wives that canning cannot im prove any food and therefore that putting up poor quality food does not pay. They advise using only fresh, firm, sound fruits and tender vegetables, and canning them as soon after harvest as pos sible. Folder On Dairying Edited By Extension Garbling in home canning doesn’t pay—and that’s putting lit mildly, home canning special ists say. They explain that any housewife who is going to the trouble and time of canning should make sure that all equipment is in best condition and that she uses fresh food of good quality and follows the most up-to-date directions. Housewives , sometimes are tempted to save a penny here and there by using imperfect jars or How ‘C-Rich’’ are your can ned tomatoes? Now is the time to do a little thinking about your supply of canned tomatoes for the winter. They are a valuable source of vitamin C. Vitamin C protects the health of the teeth and blood vessels, helps in the healing of wounds, and aids in warding off many infections. Since it is not stored in our bodies, every day’s food must provide us with an adequate supply. A new Extension Folder en titled “Links in the Chain to Better Dairying’’ and prepared by R. L. IMynn, Negro Extension specialist, came off the press this week, according to F. H. Jeter, editor of the State College Exten sion Service. The folder presents in picture- story form the essential of good dairying. Some of the features portrayed by Wynn are a safe water supply, mastitis-free cows, sanitation, and clean, tight milk ing barns. Care of cows and milk isn’t the only essential, according to Wynn. A good Ladino pasture is also necessar;^ in providing a cheap, economical source of feed. Wynn says a good vigorous grow ing pasture is also an aid in maintaining a healthy herd. Wynn uses pictures to demon strate that raising calves as herd replacements is essential to ec onomical production of milk. Copies of the folder may be obtained from the local county agent or by writing the Agri cultural Editor, St,ate College Station, Raleigh, and requesting “Links in the Chain to Better Dairying,-’ Extension Folder No. 82. 0-. One of the many reasons why North Carolina needs improved pasture and more livestock on its farms is that consumption of livestock products in the State falls far short of what nutrition ists recommend for good health, says D. W. Colvard, head of the Animal Industry Department of the North Carolina Experiment Station. The State would need half again as much milk if its citizens con sumed the amount of milk and dairy products recommended by nutritionists, says Colvard. They recommend 301 quarts of milk or its equivalent in dairy products per person annually. The aver age person in the United States consumes 284 quarts, but the average in North Carolina is only 228 quarts. Fluid milk was once a classic example of North Carolina’s live stock deficiency; During the past two years, local Grade A pro duction has equalled or exceeded the demand during the summer or “fluid milk" season. However, to meet the State’s needs the year round, says Colvard, dairy herds ^ and the pastures to support them will probably require a further increase. Grade A milk isn’t the only product falling short in State consumption. Only about a fourth of the beef consumed In North Carolina is produced here. About a tenth of the eggs and poultry products consumed come from out-of-state sources. Under our present economic system the desire, to be self-suf ficient is not a justifiable motive, Colvard continues. However, there are other reasons for producing all the livestock products we consume. Such products are the most perishable foods we have. When they are shipped into the State, sometimes from great distances, they lose some of their flavor and food value. Also livestock products are bulky, meaning that a large part of the price paid for them is transportation charges. 0 But Alcohol Tax Unit^ agents here say they have noticed no unusual- rush for the product — the lack of which virtually halted the manufacture of non-taxed-paid whiskey during the last war. ATU agents said large sugar purchases may be used as cir- cumstanial evidence against known bootleggers, and agents keep a close watch on- such goings-on. It was pointed out that this is canning season and the reported large sugar purchases may be ex plained on that score. I n c i d e n t a 1 ly, government spokesmen have announced that there is no threat to the sugar supply and no need for consum ers to stock up. 0 ^— It Pays To Advertise Amended Federal legisIhtiiHi'iii 1948 raised the maximum aid to dependent children grant in this state to $27 monthly for one child and $18 monthly for each addi tional child. 0 1_ Lei us lie soil builders not soil robbers. / LIAKN AND lARN IN Vem SPAM TIMS WITH THI NSW * y\\ Solicitations for charitable pur poses in North Carolina, other than purely local drives, must he licensed by the State Board of Public Welfare.
