[riW I I PAGE TWO Carolina Power & Light Company Plans Rural Expansion Constniction has begun on a $3,- 000,000 rural expansion program call ing for approximately 2,400 miles of new lines to serve about 11,000 new customers and others who may apply for service, according to an announce ment by the Carolina Power and Light Company in which the Com pany’s postwar rural program was made public. President L. V. Sutton stated that the Company anticipates that the ru ral program will reach 3,000 miles of new lines by the end of 1946. The proposed new lines are scattered throughout the Company’s territory, covering a part of both North and South Carolina. Sutton emphasized the fact that al though some construction already has begun, the program wilt proceed as material and manpower become available. Unless there is delay in ob taining construction material, the Company’s present schedule calls for completion of the 2,400 miles of lines during 1946. The $3,000,000 rural program will require 40,000 poles, more than 3,- 000,000 pounds of wire, and about 10,000 transformers. So extensive is the program that the Company has contracted with several engineering firms to assist with line locations and staking and with a number of other firms to as sist with construction and right-of- way clearing. These firms will parti cipate in addition to the Company’s organization. The present rural program is one of the most extensive ever undertak en by the Carolina Power and Light Company. Prior to 1935, the Company had constructed approximately 1,880 miles of rural lines, serving about 12,340 customers. During the period from June, 1935. to the beginning of the war, however, all types of Com pany customers increased rapidly, the THE JOHNSTONIAN - SUN, SELMA, • THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, 1945. Conservation Farming News By C. W. WARRICK Mr. Swade Barbour, of Clayton, seems very much pleased with his sericea lespedesa. Mr. Barbour has three acres that he mowed this year for the first time. He states that he got as much as two thirds a ton per acre at the first cutting and a ton per acre the second cutting. He is sure the yield would be more at a third cutting than from either of the other two cuttings. He states that he would cut it the third time, but is ad vised by the Neuse River District personnel that he might injure the sericea with the third cutting. There fore, he plans to leave it until frost and save a valuable crop of seed. Mr. Barbour also says he has ten other acres of sericia that he is using for a grazing crop, and is doing alternate grazing with about fifty head of cattle. Mr. W. P. Narron of the Emit sec tion had the assistance of the District recently in dynamiting a foundation for his fish pond dam, and drainage for the pond. Mr. Fletcher Bagley of the Micro section greeted some of the Neuse River personnel with a smile on the opening day of the Smithfield tobacco market. Mr. Bagley said, “you surely did do me a lot of good this year by residential, commercial, and indus trial customers almost doubling. Dur ing this time, an additional 4,500 miles of rural lines were constructed, serving 28,524 new rural customers. Since September, 1941, when Gov ernment restrictions on construction material were issued, the Company has built only 160 miles of rural lines, adding about 900 new customers, this being completed under Government regulations. As of August 1, 1945, the Carolina Power and Light Co'mpany was serv ing approximately 41,765 rural cus tomers over 6,540 miles of rural lines. State College Hints To Farm Homemakers ' By RUTH CURRENT, N. C. State College Keep sugar sirup on hand for sweetening fruit drinks and iced tea. It goes further than plain sugar. To prepare, boil together for 3 to 5 minutes equal parts of sugar and wa ter. Keep covered tightly in refrig erator. Add a little salt to frostings, pie fillings, and puddings. It brings out helping me reterrace that thirty acre field of mine. Not a single terrace has broken, gulleyed or bagged the water, and the water walks off in stead of running. Those terraces are simply fine and I want you to help me finish reterracing all of my fields this year.” Mr. Chadwick Narron of the Emit section has completed building his fish pond with his bull-dozer. He is now building a two acre fish pond that the District personnel recently staked out for W. P. Narron of the Emit section. ;he gweet. Gk^ip dried fruits, combined with ‘,nuts, moisten with honey or corn 'eirup, and use as a filling for layer ^akes. Use strained honey or maple iirup and chopped nuts as an ice ^reara sauce. ' When you do find sheets for sale don’t be stampeded by the mere sight of them and snatch them up, regard less. Look for a label giving size, and remember that “torn size” means the size before hemming. Sheets which are to o short like blankets which are too short are uncomfort able and are necessarily subject to more strain than those which are long enough to tuck in firmly. A good bath towel is one that ab sorbs moisture quickly, and doesn’t hang on the rack soggy and heavy ’or hours. That’s the bather’s view- lint, and a very sound one. But ;here are also other factors to be ionsidered when you shop for towels. } Absorbency depends on the amount pile or looped surface a towel has. yfhe more pile yarns to the inch the ' greater the drying power. Long loops make for a soft fluffy towel, but for good wear too long loops are not ad visable. Loops about one-eight_ inch Iq 'g are considered a desirable length.
