PAG3 TWO ' THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, KE7vTFOXD, d K Y, J 3,, ISO. 4-11 HomsmL'ung Projects Rank High In Club Activities "Witll more than a million home making projects being undertaken, 4 H girls are putting the 1949 theme 'Better Living for a Better World' into action," declared Guy L. Noble, direct or of the National Committee on boys and Girls Club Work. North Caro lina girls carried .41,000 of these pro jects, and accepted the challenge to report good records of work well done in 1949, according to Mr. Noble. Clothing, canning, home improve ment, home grounds beautification, garden and poultry are among the ac tivities considered in the National 4-H Girls Record award program. In ad dition to learning the job of home making, the girls come to know the basic principles for happy family re lationships and community responsi bility. The Cooperative Extension Service supervises the program. For over a quarter of a century, Montgomery Ward has rewarded girls whose accomplishments in this contest have been outstanding. Six national scholarships of $300 each in place of the usual $200 will be given this year. An all -expense trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chica go will again be provided for winners in each of the 45 States participating, and for county winners, a gold-filled medal of honor. 4-H girls in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico also enroll in the contest, and champions receive a $100 U. S. savings bond. For the 1948 record judged best in North Carolina, Lota Harrison of Old Trap, was awarded to the 4-H Club Congress. There were 49 county med al winners named. Fate i Ploys Smell; Part In Accents "The tragic part of any accident is that Fate has so little to do with it and the individual so much," Com missioner Landon C. Rosser of the De partment of Motor Vehicles says in connection with North Carolina s cur rent campaign to emphasize the indi vidual's responsibility for .traffic safety. "Drivers, in nearly three-fourths of all fatal accidents in 1947, for ii stance, were violating some traffic regulation at the time, as were three out of four pedestrians who were vic tims of fatal accidents." Personal responsibility and the fact that "It Can Happen to You," Com missioner Rosser pointed out, is the theme of the traffic safety educational program being sponsored by the Mo tor Vehicles Department during April "Your Life Is In Your Hands" is the official slogan of the .program which is part of the national campaign spon sored by the National Safety Council. "Most accidents go back," Com missioner Rosser said, "to the un fortunate fact that Man is still his own Svorst enemy, and' that a traffic fool is everyone's enemy. "Traffic accidents cost North Caro lina 734 lives last year in addition to 7,490 injuries," he said. "With a little more thought, or care, or both, most of these accidents would, have not oc curred. Every individual must take responsibility for his own safety, must assume that, potentially, every life around him is in his hands." The current drive, Commissioner Rosser said, offers everyone the op portunity to save at least one life,vhis own. After all, the "other guy", the mysterious victim of so many acci dents, might be YOU. ties. . Small fruits will enable families to enjoy jama, jellies, and juices- for everyday use and will aid greatly in balancing the diet the horticulturist asserts. - j , v If labor is available, .suitably lo cated families may sell theiv fruits through a roadside market .and thus develop a new source of farm income, Niswonger points out Or the fruits, along with, vegetables, flowers, poul tiy and dairy products,, may be sold through curb markets which are lo cated in many towns and cities. - Fami lies growing all of the fruits, includ ing grapes, will have produce to mar ket in 'succession from early summer to eatly autumn. Another possibility is offered by freeaer locker plants all over North Carolina, asserts Niswonger. These plants enable farm families to freeze their surplus production for use dur ing periods vwhen fresh fruit is not available. '.Managers of locker plants are anxious to buy good locally grown strawberries, dewberries, and rasp berries in order' to freeze them for their city patrons. Many city house wives, however, like to do their own preparing or use the berries for fresh consumption.

R. Niswonger, in charge of horticulture extension at State College. Niswonger says only a small pro portion of farm families are now growing such crops as strawberries, dewberries, blueberries, and raspber;- ries. All of these except raspberries, which do best in the mountains, can be grown in almost every section of the State.

This wasted heat can be saved by stopping up air leaks in the barn and by using a Controlled venti lating system. , , . ' All holes at eaves and gable ends should be closed. If a considerable amount of air leaks through the walls, they should be covered with some ma terial which will stop the leaks. Ventilation during the cure should be obtained by means of a ridge venti lator which can be closed tightly when not needed.

The publication was prepared by Dr. D. E. Ellis, associate, professor of plant pathology for the Agricultural Experiment Station, who eay3 root knot causes a loss of at least $1,000.' 000 in North Carolina gardens every year. Damage from the disease, Ellis says, includes the abandonment of many garden sites and the joss of thousands of bushels of fresh vege tables each year. "Much of this loss is needless be cause highly effective and practical methods for combating- nematodes have been developed," the pathologist declares. The effects of root-knot are familiar to most gardeners. The most strik ing symptom is the conspicious swel lings or galls on the roots. These galls soon rot, new root growth is re tarded or prevented, and the plant cannot ,obtain sufficient water and mineral salts for normal growth. Se verely affected plants are : ' stunted, frequently wilt on hot summer days, and eventually may be killed, j Plants less seriously afected may survive but have a sickly appearance and yield poorly. . ....-5- , Control measures-, ssrys Ellis," In clude fearly planting of vegetable crops, rotation of crops on two or more garden sites, and treating the soil with chemicals which are known to be effective iri controlling the root- knot nematode.
