The public is cordially invited to attend. Mulching Proposed as Way to Hold Moisture and Control Weed Growth There’s something new in the way of controlling weeds and con serving moisture. However, it in corporates an old principle—mulch ing. Albert Banadyga, horticulture specialist for the N. C. Agricul tural Extension Service, says that many materials, including sawdust, straw, grass clippings and shredded newspapers, have been used with varying degress of success. A new material—which seems to be quite effective—is polyethylene film. This black plastic, first tried at the Kentucky State Experiment Sta tion, was tested on vegetable plots grown last year at the U. S. De partment of Agriculture’s Belts- ville, Md., Research Center.

Bern’s First Baptist church, still chuckles over the way her grand mother reacted when she was born | on Lincoln’s birthday. “I don’t believe she ever for- ( gave me,” says Mrs. Hall. That, of course, stemmed from the fact I that the grandmother referred to was an unreconstructed rebel who | who had no use fbr Abe or any one else above the Mason-Dixon | line. As far as she was concerned the I War Between the States never really ended. Blue, because the Union soldiers were uniformed in the color, remained distasteful to| her.

I BREADS AND SPREADS—Bread and butter on the table at every meal. That’s the rule for active people—especially, for hard work ers and lively children. They need bread in addition to other foods to fill energy needs. Sit-down work ers should not eat bread in pref erence to fruit and vegetables, meats, eggs and milk. Overweights should budget their calories from bread or crackers. Instead, choose enriched bread, serve dark breads, make cereal breads—for the health of your family. Nutritionists recom mend it. MAKING THE BREAD COUNT— Make a plain meal tempting by toasting the bread or rolls, and serving with jam or jelly. Serve raisin toast, cinnamon toast, toasted English muffins oft en.

BREADS IN OTHER ROLFS— Use dry bread for a custard bread pudding and add coconut for a tie- luxe flavor. Or, unsweetened cl»- colate (heating it in the milk) .'w quite good. Fresh, hot coffee cakes, ciniia- mon buns, or butterscotch rods make a delicious dessert, served' with hot coffee, tea, or milk. Stuff rolls with a salad mixture for luncheon.

In addition, stated Banadyga, the crops mulched with polyethylene during the dry 1957 season grew faster and larger and yielded more than similar plants grown without mulch. Banadyga reminded the home gardner that the soil should be fer tilized and thoroughly worked into a friable condition before it is cov ered with film and the plants set in place. If additional plant food is need-1 ed later, fertilizer in solution can be poured into the opening around each plant, through holes punch ed in the film, or along the edges | of the covered plant bed—where it will soak in as rain does when it falls on the film. As a means of saving labor in home gardening—;as well as in creasing the yields—look into the possibility of using this newly de veloped film as an aid to vegeta ble production.
