Tabor, E. J. Burgin, and Clyde Gilliam say that if we want quail on our farms we will be interested in the food they eat. These farmers have established field borders on their farms. Through study it has been found that quail eat more than 400 kinds of seeds, but insects are their, most dependable summer food. Quail eat the new lespedeza bicolor in preference to any of the foods formerly used. Bicolor is suitable for field borders around woods or hedges across idle or cultivated fields. Once the stand is establish ed it will produce seed year after year. Rabbits will eat the bark and bees make honey from the flowers. D. T. Elliott, D. W. Adams, and J. F. Turner are making plans to seed field borders, in cooperation with the Catawba Soil Conserva tion District on their farms next spring. READ THE ADS TOO! Dorcas Circle Elects Officers 0 Mrs. J. N.

Survey Reveals Timber Shortage Will Continue o t As war-drained stocks of dum ber face an increasing demand, output of timber continues to ! lag, a recent survey by the U. S. Forest service reveals. The survey points out that in the peacetime period from 1935 through 1939, lumber stocks on hand for the five-year period av eraged 17 billion board feet com pared with 4.1 billion board feet last June. The government estimates that nine billion board feet will be needed to build one million dwel lings. The federal program calls for two and three-quarter million homes before the end of 1947. Continuing, the survey says, “as suming that income and employ ment remain high, and forest products are available at reason able prices, the estimated amount of lumber we might use is 42 bil lion board feet a year.” The report adds: “Lumber output may reach 31 billion board feet in 1946. But it will be difficult to push it above 33 billion annually during the next ten years. ‘Favorable prices, more labor and equipment will help. But soon, production will be limited by shortages of timber. Timber reserves are declining.” The survey cites “limited” op portunities for large-scale opera tions in the West. The North likewise faces a shortage and “even in the South, the stand of fast-growing pines is not suffi cient to maintain present output.” As a step toward improving reserves, the U. S. Forest service urges better cutting, marketing and milling practices. The sendee warns that the aver age farm or home owner is going to have difficulty getting all the timber he would like to have. The survey concludes: “With good management— found now in many of the larger private holdings and in most of the public forests —we could event ually double the growth of saw timber. We could grow' all we need and still have enough to export plenty. “A full scale program of build ing and maintaining forest pro doctivity is urgently needed. Edu iation efforts should be expand ed. The Forest service believes that the following steps also are necessary: “1. Increased public aids and services to private owners. “2. Public control of cutting tnd other forest practices on pri vate forest lands. “3. Expansion and development of public forests—national, state and local.” READ THE ADS TOO!

(See Recipes Below) Late Canning Well, the summer’s about over, with late fruits peeping through the leaves in the , orchard, and the last of the sea j son’s vegetables ipushing up through the earth. I am .assuming you have most of your canning done, but there : are some things that cannot be canned until late. That time will soon arrive, so be prepared! Sometimes it is the things canned last that are the sweetest and best turned out. That may be because we’re in practice, but perhaps, too, it’s because things like pears and grapes are in season, and the fam ily likes end-of-the garden pickles best of all. Look over what you've canned during the summer before winding up with a final session of canning and try to balance the canning cup board and fill in spaces with the foods you need. Our recipes today are of a variety to help you do just that. Pear Butter. Wash pears, but do not peel. Slice and add a small amount of water to start cooking. Cook until soft, then press through a colander. To each cup of pulp, add Vi cup sugar, and a few spices, if desired. Cook to a paste, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Pour into sterile jars and seal at once. You know fruit butters will spread a lot of slices of bread this winter and put a damper on that rifling of the cookie jar. Here’s how it’s done with apples: Spiced Apple Butter. 4 gallons prepared apples 1 gallon sweet cider 4 pints sugar 1 teaspoon allspice 1 teaspoon cinnamon Pare, core and slice apples. Boil cider until reduced by one-half. Add apples to cider while boiling and cook slowly until . the fruit is soft. Press through a sieve and then return to fire and continue cooking, stirring frequently to pre vent burning. When the fruit begins to thicken, add sugar and spices. Cook until smooth and thick. Pour into sterile jars and seal while hot. End-of-the-Garden Pickles. 1 cup sliced cucumbers 1 cup chopped sweet peppers 1 cup chopped cabbage 1 cup sliced onions 1 cup chopped green tomatoes 1 cup chopped carrots 1 cup green beans, cut into I-lnch pieces 2 tablespoons mustard seed 1 tablespoon celery seed 1 cup chopped celery 2 cupa vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons turmerlo LYNN SAYS: Making Good Jelly: To extract the juice from fruits and berries so that it is clear, use several thicknesses of cheesecloth or some flannel. A wire mesh strainer may be used to hold the cloth. The bag should never be squeezed or the jelly will be cloudy. The best jellies are made in small batches so that cooking time can remain short. For fruits rich in pectin (Jell ing quality), use % to 1 cup of sugar for each cup of Juice. The pectin content of fruit* j, highest when they are just bare ly ripe. A combination of under ripe and over-ripe fruit will make a satisfactory combination for flavor and pectin require menta.

Drain. Cook the car rots and string beans in boiling wa ter until tender. Drain well. Mix soaked and cooked vegetables with remaining ingredients and boil for 10 minutes. Pack into sterile jars and seal. Two preserved fruits that are both piquant and satisfying are Grape Gumbo and Peach and Ap ple Conserve. Here are preserves that will add that magic touch to the meat course during winter: Grape Gumbo. 4 pounds seeded grapes 1 orange, thinly sliced % pound seeded raisins 4 cups sugar Cook all of the ingredients until the mixture is of the consistency of marmalade. Pour into sterilized jars and seal at once. Conserve needs stirring and watching so that it does not stick. Do not cook too long or these deli cate fruits will lose their color. Peach and Cantaloupe Conserve. 1 pint diced peaches 1 pint diced cantaloupe 2 lemons, juice and grated rind 3 cups sugar H cup walnuts, blanched and chopped Combine ingredients with the ex ception of nutmeats. Cook until mix ture is thick and clear. Add nut meats and pour into sterile jars. Seal while hot. Both plums and apples are late in-the-season fruits, yet they make delicious jelly if you still have enough of your sugar ration left Crab Apple Jelly. Select sound crab apples. Wash and remove blossoms. Cut into quarters without I peeling. Barely cover with water and boil until fruit is tender. Strain the juice through a jelly bag. Measure and bring juice to a boil. Add % cup of sugar to each cup of juice and boil rapidly to jelly stage. Pour into sterilized jelly glasses and seal im mediately. Plum Jelly. Wash plums and cover with cold water. Boil until plums are quite soft. Press juice through jelly bag. strain and measure. Bring juice to a boil and add one cup of sugar for each cup of juice. Boil rapidly to jelly stage, then pour ,nto sterile glasses and seal at once. Plum and Orange Jelly. * pounds plums, cut up ( oranges 1 lemon sugar Wash plums, cover with cold wa ter and bring to a boil. Add oranges and lemon and cook until plums are soft. Drain In jeUy bag. Boil ex tracted juice 15 minutes and to ev «ry 4 cups of juice, add 3 cups sugar»Boll rapidly to jelly stage. P< £i£* nto ,terile glasses and seal When you rout out all the jars and caps that seem likely prospects for your home canning, or Jars and caps to iharo with neighbors, you can set aside at once some kinds that won t do. Into the discard group go jars and caps that have any crack, nick, dent, or any other defect that would keep a Jar from sealing air tight. And set aside, too. odd shaped and very small jars. They can be used for preserves or other purpose;. where a paraffin seal is adequate Released by We.tern News D a D er Union Advise Cauti o „ | In Use Os DDT I Owners of f arm ani ma] , I domestic pets are admoniX,* exerc.se at east ”o r ,li„ a „ '’ fl t.on when they use Dlit U tect their animals again,, >■ and parasites.

READ THE ADS TOOi-B Cull Bmodv He® From Flock B o Hens that show signs nf broo^B 1 ness should usually he from the laying flock. Prof. R. S. Dearstyne, the poultry department at college, in making this mendation points out that though a great deal of has been made in reducing ness in laying birds, this still appears in some i'hick^B | especially in the American bK^B^ Because of the frequency :'H| r appearance, the question arises as to whether or not hens are profitable and they should be culled from flocks. Be If a high intensity of lay a been bred into the birds. theyJ^B| e have periods of broodiness still lay profitably, he says. H^B n( j ever, from an over-all in most cases, it would be ageous to cull such birds the flock. As a rule, one period of bro^B s ness is usually followed to another, and breaking hens broodiness requires a great y of time —more than most y men have to spare. Furthermore, Dearstyne if birds that show signs of bro^B o; .. ness are used to produce batc^B n]o eggs, it is highly probable the tendency to broodiness appear in their progeny. .
