Tiukey cooking ban mean dollars Thanks to innovations in the production, packaging and marketing of turkey food pro ducts, there is almost no limit to imaginative ways of serving this tantalizing bird. The added convenience of the new pre-packaged turkey parts is just another of the many advan tages for including turkey often in family meal-planning. Aside from the fact that you can now purchase turkey in just the right form and quantity for any meal or individual taste preference, turkey is also highly nutritious, very economical and "just the thing" to fit into today's trend toward a lighter-eating, more health-conscious lifestyle. Although it has the same (or bet ter) high-quality protein as most other meat products, turkey has much less fat, cholesterol and calories. ..and it just tastes so downright DELICIOUS to boot! If you still haven't been convinc ?: ed that you should be taking ; greater advantage of the versatility Z of turkey meat products, then try ? one of these great "parts" recipes ^ from North Carolina Poultry * Federation and discover for ' yourself the advantages of stock ; ing up on plenty of turkey parts ; products at your next trip to the * supermarket. : Then experiment a little with ; your own creative methods for . preparing the new parts and enter ; your best recipe efforts in the ; Fourth Annual North Carolina ; Turkey Cooking Contest set for ; September 18, 1985 in Raeford.

F orestry handbook offered A new handbook is available from the U.S. Forest Service. It is entitled "Forester's Handbook for Reducing Bark Beetle and Disease Losses in Southern Pines." Copies are available from the State Forest Service at S6 per copy. Forest workers are expecting severely depressed growth rates for pines and hardwoods. The late, hard freeze and severe drought are the causes. Shallow-rooted species will be hardest hit (white oaks and dogwoods). Scattered hardwoods will die throughout the summer and fall, especially during dry spells. Human Health The North Carolina Department of Human Health, Division of Health Services, Epidemiology Section reported one case of rabies in a bat found in Mecklenburg County. Also, they reported three cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever with one case each in Gaston County, Mecklenburg County and Sampson County. (All reports for the month of April.) Farming For Wildlife Wildlife biologists indicate that Extension News Willie Featherstone County Extension Chairman i they don't have all the answers to fluctuations in small game popula tions such as rabbits and quail, but some of the reasons are evident. One of these reasons is a continu ing loss of good wildlife habitat ? lost to a variety of other land uses such as highways and residential development. "Good habitat is an important ingredient in good wildlife populations, however, if you look closely you'll see that things, other than development are happening. to wildlife habitat. One of these changes is the way we farm our land. Big fields, clean farming, and elimination of much of the food and cover for wildlife along field edges, ditches, and odd corners, result in virtually no wildlife habitat. What's the cure for this pro blem? Certainly not for farmers to go back to their old ways of farm ing, but it is possible to farm for a wildlife crop too, along with the other crops we raise. It doesn't take a whole lot of land or expen sive seed and fertilizer to provide some good wildlife food and cover. It's simply a matter of planting some strips of food and cover along some field borders, in odd corners, and in openings in the woods. One-eighth to one-quarter acre is all that's needed in one location, usually planted in strips ten to fif teen feet wide. Planting materials may consist of either shrub lespedeza (a hardy perennial plant), partridge pea, or a mixture of annuals including soy beans, cowpeas, millett, and other good wildlife foods. Sericea lespedeza can be planted in an ad jacent strip for cover, if needed. If you really want to do the best job of farming for a crop of game, ask your wildlife biologist, Soil Conversation Service, or N.C. Forest Service forester to help you make up a management plan for your property -- a plan that in cludes wildlife. If every landowner did this, and every sportsman pitched in and helped, we'd hear far fewer com plaints about a lack of game. Tennis shoes may be most fitting summer wear Children often try to kick off their school shoes at the first sign of warm weather, preferring sneakers or going barefoot. And parents worry about these lightweight shoes or no shoes at all ruining their feet. Sneakers may actually be one of the best shoes you can buy for a healthy foot. A healthy foot does not require support. In fact, the great flexibility of sneakers gives the muscles of the foot freedom to develop. There is also nothing wrong with going barefoot as long as it is done on soft grass, sand or carpet where there is no danger of stepping on broken glass, nails, pins or sharp stones. Walking without shoes allows the toes to extend and grip the ground, one of the best foot exer cises there is. If the child spends a lot of time playing on cement playgrounds and sidewalks, a thick-soled basketball or profes sional type tennis or running shoe is a good investment.
