Negro Formers Seek More Postures. Cows Kegro farmers of the Jones Chape community, Rockingham county, t-.ave decided to seed more perma nent pastures and obtain more dai- j ry animals in order to improve their j farming system, reports T. D. Wil- 1 liamson, Negro county agent for the ! State College Extension Service. "Hie group held a meeting recent- j ly, at which rime the county agent' dis>cusr**d the corn and pasture sit uation from 1890 up to the present i time. Charts and slides wer*4 used to ' Illustrate the points presented. The farmers agreed that "the most important things we need in this 1 community now are good pastures and mdre dairy animals - ? ei'her graces- or purebreds." A committee was *et up to work out plans for reaching these objectives. Another committee was appoint ed for the purpose of promoting a corn production program in the com munity. An effort will be made to pet a large number of farmers to trv for membership in the State 300- j Buchel Corn Club. Hoxe demonstration club mem bers of the community met at the ea me time to make plans for The year. Suhiecr? discussed included canning budgets and making of household- articles. A rerujar part of the work of the Bureau of Agricultural Economies is to find out what farmers get fr>r their cornrooditles and how rnfoh the eor.tfuiner pays at the retail store. , ? r Small Fruits Offer Golden Opportunity Crowing of smaii fruity offers Nor j rh Carolina farm families a "'golden! opportunity" 10 improve their diets! and obtain extra income from their land, says H. R. Niswonger, in char ge 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 be$t in the mountains, can be grown In almost every section of the'State. Muscadine grapes, best' adapted to non-mountainous areas,' and bunch grapes, which can be grown in all section, al.-*> offer goo<i possibilities. * Small fruits will enable familie> to enjoy jams, jellies, and juices foi everyday use and will aid greatly in bainncing the diet, the horticul turist asserts. . ??? '. . ? . J If labor is available, suitably lo cared families may sell their fruits through a roadside market and thus develop a new source of farm income Ntswongipr points out. Or the fruits, along with vegetables, flowers, poul try and dairy products, may be sold through curb markets which are lo cated in many tbwns and cities. Fam I Hies growing all of the fruit's, in cluding grapes, will have produce to market in succession from early sum mer to early autumn. Another possibility is offered by freezer locker plants located all over 1 North Carolina, asserts Nlswonger. CONGRATULATIONS ' ? to C. L and D.

These plants enable farm families to freeze their surplus production for use during periods when fresh fruit j is not available. Managers of locker; plants are anxious to buy locaily I grown strawberries, dewberries, and raspberries in order to freeze them j for their city patrons. Many city ! housew ives, however, like to do their \ own preparing or use the berries for fresh consumption.
