Home Canning Means
More Money Saved
Summer Garden Work
Should Start In June
Another Forest Tract
Given State Golleee
Raising and canning one’s own
food will be the solution to the de
pression problem in the majority of
rural homes in Johnston county this
year, according to Miss Everett,
County Demonstration Agent. She is
making an especial appeal at this
time for everyone to plant a garden
that is large enough to yield a sur
plus which may be canned for fut
ure use on the home table.
Such a plan she declares is not
only sound and economical but
means that families so doing will
•actually fare more abundantly than
in the late lamented era of prosperi
ty. An .ideal supply of Home Canned
products includes all the fruits,
veg-etables and meat the family
needs, in addition to the fresh food
on hand. Fish too, should be in-
chuied, when locally available. A
suggested canning budget for the
average family of five includes 40
quarts of leafy vegetables, 100
'quarts of tomatoes, 150 quarts of
all other vegetables, 325 quarts of
fniits, 150 quarts of meats, includ
ing chicken and rabbit, and 30
•quarts of chicken, beef and vege
table soups, or around 800 quarts in
all.
•Ml this L- made possible by the
introduction into the avera,ge farm
kitchen .of the same modern equip
ment as is found in the large com-
■uiercial canneries. The farm woman
of today does her home canning-
under steam pressure, by means of
a pressure cooker, just as the com-
•mercial canneries do. This enables
her to can “the difficult things,”
as they u.sed to be called—peas,
corn, aspai-agus,—just as easily and
safely as tomatoes or strawberries,
because the high temperature ob
tained in the pressure cooker af
fords moi’e perfect sterilization than
is possible by any other method
Meats and fish, too, as well as the
non-acid vegetables, arg canned
’.vitliout danger of food poisoning or
'poilage due to faulty processing
The u.se of the pressure, cooker
moreover cuts, the processing
periods in home canning to a third
of those heretofore required, sav
ing both time and fuel.
bor thrift’s sake then, summarizes
.Miss Everett, plant plenty; for
safetyis sake, process in a pressure
cooker.
She will give a special series of
demonstrations on various pha.ses of
canning this season in order to help
local women with their cannin
problems.
On Thursday, the 26th of May,
.Mis.s Everett wall have a special
demonstration in canning for local
leaders, and any women in town
who are interested. The president is
asking to select from her group
two local women who have had
some experience in canning and who
Will come act as local leader in her
community. The.se local leaders are
asked to come to the home agent’s
kitchen on Thursday, the 26th. Come
with any que.stions which you want
to ask. All types of jars for can
ning will be shown. Types of home
made as well as steam pressure
cookers will be shown and 'any
question will be welcomed on the
canning project.
Answers To Some
Timely Questions
Q. When is the best time to in
troduce new queen bees to bee
colonies'!
Ans. New queens will be accepted
more readily by old colonies if
introduced during the honey flow.
The old (pieen, however, should
not be removed until about three
weeks prior to the end of the
flow or until her bees are no
longer of use in the honey flow.
The new cpieen should be intro
duced and laying about eight
weeks before frost. - This allows
the rearing of young bees for the
winter season. Failing queens
should be replaced at any time
by young, vigorous queens but
care should be exercised to get
those of good strains.
Q. How often should I mow and
■sprinkle my lawn for best re
sults ?
Ans. Lawn gras.=es should be cut
every week during the growing
season. Cut smooth but not too
close and allow all cuttings to
remain on the lawn to add humus
and conserve moisture. If the
■grasse.s have seeded this cutting
should be removed. As to sprink
ling, this is best left undone but
if absolutely necessary it should
be done at regular intervals.. A
good wetting once each week will
do more for a lawn than light
.sprinkling each day.
Q. How can I protect my roses
from disease and plant lice?
•A.ns. Spray immediately with Bor
deaux mixture or potassium suf-
fide or dust with sulphur. The
dusting should be made early in
the morning when the foliage is
wet with dew. Plant lice may be
controlled by adding' one teaspoon
ful of 40 per cent nicotine sul
phate to each three ijuarts of
Bordeaux spray. If potassium sul
fide is used as a disease spray in
stead of Bordeaux, it should be
made up at the rate of one ounce
of potassium sulfide to three
quarts of water. This .spray has
tlie advantage of no.t discoloring
the foliage. Both sprays should
be continued at ten-day or two-
week intervals during the season.
Work done in the home garden
in June will determine the value
of the area during the remainder
of the summer, suggests E. B. Mor
row, Extension Horiculturist at
State College.
It may be necessary to irrigate
this year and those who do not have
the water available under pressure
might arrange to divert a nearby
stream so that the water may be
run between the furrows during
dry weather. In this case it is neces
sary to cultivate before a hard
crust forms on the soil.
P’ertilizin.g the aspara,gus beds
and keeping up cultivation will as
sure cuttings until frost. More
tomato plants should Be set for the
late summer crop. Plants set in
June should be put in deeply so that
the roots may reach the lower and
more moist soil layers.
A supply of sweet corn' may be
assured by making successive plant-
ing.s each three weeks. Some of the
early maturin,g varieties may be
planted as late as ten to twelve
weeks before the u.-ual date of kill
ing frost.
Go over the watermelon patch
each two weeks and remove the
misshapen millions while they are
young. This will permit the strength
of the vines to go into the produc
tion of good melons. The cantloupe
patch will benefit by a spray of
Bordeaux Mixture to prevent leaf
or. foliage disea.-es.
Sweet potatoes may be started
in June from vine cuttings. Where
these cuttings are made from di
sease-free plants there will be no
disease in the potatoes produced.
Strawberry plant- rooted in June
and July will produce twice as
many berries next season as those
rooted in the fall. The largest and
finest berries are produced from
early runners planted about 12
inches apart in a single or double
row. Mr. IMorrow concludes.

Another demonstration forest
totalling 1,564 acres of land con
taining nearly three million board
feet of timber at this time has been
donated to the State College forest
ry department.
This tract was accepted by the
Executive Committee of the board
of Trustees at a meeting held with
Governor O. Max Gardner last
week. The gift vvas tendered by A.
D. Mclean of Washington, Beau
fort county, and the land lies in
Hyde, county along the Pung-o River
about 13 miles from Belhaven.
Highway fil intersects the land and
the inland waterway runs along
one boundry. The donation was not
an outright gift but was so arrang
ed that the forestry department
may make payment per acre from
the proceeds derived from the timb
er. Dr. Julius V. Hofmann, director
of the forestry department, says the
payments can be met easily and
that his department is fortunate in
having a student laboratory and de
monstration forest in the coastal
section of the State.
“This area is typical of thou-
-sancls of acres of pine land in North
Carolina and adjacent states,” Dr.
Hofmann says. “We have made a
cruise of the whole forest with our
senior student.s", assisted by Prof.
Ralph Sayes of the department,
when we classified the timber as
to species and size. The area con
tains only a few swamps of small
acreage and the pine type prevails
over most of the forest which in
dicates that it is fairly well drain
ed. It is well stocked with both
pine and hardwoods but needs pro
tection. Even with the present lack
of care ,the forest is growing a
volume of about 5 percent increase
in timber each year.”
College officials say that the ac
quisition of this new forest area
will give the opportunity to demon
strate good principles of successful
handling and management in east
ern North Carolina. Similar work
is now being done on a tract of
1100 acres irr Durham county donat
ed three years ago bv George Watts
Hill.

LVoman Arrested For
I Putting Baby In Fire
Burlington, May 19.—Jetta Rich
mond, negress, is under arrest for
infanticide, it being alleged that she
threw her new born into the fur
nace of the home of Judge William
T. Ward, in Graham, where she
-was employed as cook.
Judge Ward made the discovery
himself when he went to the base
ment to start a fire. He saw the
body, an attempt to burn it having
failed when thrown on the. embers.
Coroner R. M. Troxler said that the
bkby had been born alive.
B. J. Hunter of Derita, Mecklen
burg county, has been selling his
tine alfalfa hay in Charlotte for
520 to $23 a ton this winter and
spnng and says it is the most
profitable crop on his farm.
Kaleig-h, May . 19.—An indicated
peach crop of 2,030,000 bushels for
North Carolina this year, only 60
percent of a full crop and moi-e
than one million bushels short of the
3,128,000 bu.shels harvested last
year, was reported today as of May
1 by the federal-state crop report
ing service.
Thb condition of small grain crops
May 1 was “very g-ood,” the report
said. Weather conditions had not
been particularly favorable to corn,
but commercial Irish potatoes- and
fruit crops were making good prog
ress.
Indications were that the hay
crop would be only 77 per cent of
normal, wliich was five per cent
below condition the same date in
1931 and nine per cent below the
JO-year average, it was noted.
"A special survey of the condi
tion of tobacco plants in the flue-
cured states indicates a material
loss of plants in seed beds due to
the effects of March freezes and
blue mold infection,” the report said
of the south’s tobacco crop. “Flea
bugs, also, apparently have been
more prevalent than usual. Although
many beds were reseeded the loss
from the above causes has resulted
in a scarcity of good plants and
some delay in transplanting. The
damage has been most severe in
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina,
and North Carolina, with lesser
damage in the old belt areas of
Virginia and North Carolina.”
No state tobacco ci'op indication
was included.
Raleigh, May 22.—Forty thousand
North Carolina farmers received
$4,600,000 in crop loans from the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
funds designated for that purpose,
it was reported Saturday at a meet
ing of field workers of the .-tate
under the supervision of Charles W.
Kirby, state inspector.
The meeting was attended by for
mer Gov. D. W. Davi.s, of Idaho,
chief national inspector, and S. A.

Old Cotton Stalk
Puts Out New Sprout
Forest City, May 19.—A. L. Hen-
.son, who lives near Forest City, ex
hibited an unusual cotton plant here
yesterday. The plant was growing
from a last year’s stalk, which is
said by those who know, to be a
very unusual occurence. The growth
is attributed to the very mild
wfinf.cir.
Beaufort' county farmers report a

Don’f give the
weevils a chance
Ten farm improvement dubs have

in the county.
CANNING DEMONSTRATION
There will be a canning demon
stration given by Miss Rachel Ev
erett, the home demonstration agent,
in the club kitchen in the courthouse
at Smithfield, N. C., on Thursday
afternoon, May 26, at two o’clock.
All atiy weevil asks is a chance—one chance.
Once he gets busy with a square, the boll is
gone. Reports indicate enough weevils this year
to ruin the crop, if they get a chance.
Whetlier they get it or not, depends pretty
much on you.
, Weevils can’t hurt a crop much, once the bolls
are set. Because of the heavy infestation this
year, set your crop as early as you can.
Nothing takes the place of a Chilean Nitrate
side-dressing for making an early crop. There is
no way a little money could be better invested
now than for 100 pounds (200 pounds would be
better) of Chilean Nitrate to side-dress each acre
of your cotton.
Don’t fail to specify Chilean Nitrate when
you see your dealer. That is just as important as
side-dressing itself.
Get busy! The weevils will be plenty busy soon.
