HERTFORD, N. O, FRIDAY, THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, OCTOBER 14, 1949.
Clubs To Observe
More than 115,000 4-H Club mem
bers in North Carolina will join with
nearly two million other boys and
girls throughout the United States in
observing National 4-H Achievement
week, November 5-13, L. R. Harrill
4-H leader for the State College Ex
tension Service has announced.
Special programs will be held in
practically all of the State's 100 coun
ties, Harrill said. Newspapers, radio,
exhibits, and posters will be used ex
tervsively in calling attention to the
accomplishments of club members
during the past year. Church service,
special meetings, window displays,
stunts, and membership drives are
among the activities which have been
planned.
The threefold purpose of the ob
servance is to report to the nation on
over-all 4-H achievements, recognize
outstanding club members, leaders,
and parents, and provide a basis for
planning next year's program.
Harrill said reports from State
leaders indicate that a new record has
been set by 4-H members this year.
More than 76 per' cent of the boys and
girls enrolled have completed a wide
variety of farming and homemaking
projects, and achievements in these
project have topped those of any
previous year.
State College Hints
To Farm Homemakers
By RUTH CURRENT '-. I ,

Where many are fed, as in school
lunchrooms, at church suppers and
picnics, it is sometimes hard to serve
food quickly in uniform portions,' giv
ing each plate its fair share and mak
ing the food supply "go 'round".
Those who often serve such groups
can get good use from standard size
scoops and ladles made for restaurants
mon salad. Scoops come in sizes
from No. 6 to No. 40. Size numbers
indicate , the number, of leveled-off
scoop-f uls in 1 quart, - Convenient
sizes for serving plates include No. 8
(Vi cup) and No. 16 lA cup) and No.
20. (3-1 5 tablespoons) are handy for
filling muffin tins with muffin or
cupcake batter. No. 40 (1-35 table
spoons) is helpful in making drop
cookies of an even size.
'Scoops and ladles of sizes commonly
used may be found in some hardware

and hotels. Such tools are recom- , ,. '
mended to those serving school lunch
es by food specialists.
For serving school lunches or adult
groups, the specialists say that ladles
of cup, y and 1 cup capacity .are
especially useful. Half-cup and H
cup portions are useful when serving
vegetables, desserts, and many main
dishes. Cup-size portions are usual
for soups and beverages.
Scoops, sometimes called "dishers",
are more convenient than ladles for
serving thick mixtures, such as mash
ed potatoes, cottage cheese and sal-

are thus attractively acquired. ,

the possibility of strategic bombinir

be more than a publicity campaign for
a larger air force, the boasts of en

hold out to the public an assured and
cheap victory from strategic bombing.

Sequoia Potatoes
In Strong Demand
Growers of certified Sequoia potato
seed in Avery County are continuing
to find a good market for their prod
uct in Tennessee, Virginia, and the
two Carolinas, leports H. R. Niswong
er, in charge of horticulture extension
at State College.
In fact, says Niswonger, the grow
ers are unable to meet the demand for
their product. They recently sold
7,000 bags of seed potatoes in the
four states, and could have sold an
other 7,000 bags if the potatoes had
been available.
Some 15 or more new growers will
produce certified seed of this variety
in 1950.
A grower in the Vale community,
John Calhoun, this year tried the Es
sex variety, which was developed by
the New York Experiment Station for
resistance to late blight. He expects
to harvest around 500 bushels. Cal
houn bought 34 bushels of certified
Essex seed in 1948 and produced
enough seed to plant 1.7 acres this
year.
The Vale farmer is also growing
10 acres of Sequoias and expects to
harvest around 20,000 bushels of this
variety this year. He is building a
storage house which will hold 1500
bushels of certified seed of Sequoia
and Essex.
Anybody can be friendly with an
individual who is friendly.

enemy, the danger to the physical
plant of the Government in Washing
ton is obvious. 1
? Consequently, Representative
Wright Putman of Texas, has intro
duced a resolution to authorize a
House committee to study the ques
tion of shifting the nation's capital
westward or establishing a No, 2
capital beyond the Mississippi River,
particularly in the Colorado area. .
There can be no harm in the study
which the Texan wishes to have un
dertaken. Moreover, there exists no
good reason why many governmental
agencies, now in Washington, could
not be established in other regions.
Certainly, the dispersion of govern
mental offices would be a partial pro
tection against unexpected and over
whelming bombing attacks.
There is no earthly reason why all
of ithe major departments of ' the !
Government should be located in the
capital. Gradually, there could be
established a series of regional
branches, even if it Is not deemed
wise to transfer the department into
one area.
