Page Six THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NfiW BERN, N. C. Friday, September 18, 1959 This is a good season to have a close look at the garden. Plow un der, or burn, all old bean, toma to and other plants which have stopped bearing. They harbor in sects and diseases which may carry over and attack your garden next year. Don’t let the weeds go to seed. Watch for Harlequin (terrapin bugs) on your cabbage, collards and fall greens. They can do a great deal of damage. Dust with 20 per cent Sabadilla dust.

Dunn Co. of December, you should plant your bulbs for early spring flowering- tulips, crocus, daffodils, jonquils hyacinths, madonna lilies and oth ers. I would strongly urge that you plan what you want to plant and make early purchases while stock is fresh and in plentiful supply. Cheap stock may prove to be the most expensive, so don’t mind spending a little extra for the best. “Double-nosed” narcissus bulbs, for example, will have two or three flowers while the round bulbs usually have only one flow er the first year. Plant jonquil, narcissus and hya cinth bulbs about six inches deep and crocus and madonna lilies about two inches. Fertilize liberal ly but mix well with the soil so that the fertilizer will not come in direct contact with the newly plant ed bulbs. If you want to over-seed the lawn (on such grasses as Bermuda) you can use Italian rye grass at the rate of three to five pounds per 1,000 square feet. After the seed has germinated, top-dress with about 20 pounds of an 8-8-8 fertili zer per 1,000 square feet of lawn area. This should give you a nice green winter lawn; but the rye grass will die when the weather gets hot and may give you some trouble for a while by holding back the normal growth of Bermuda This is about the seasons. Of the four, spring and fall, probably have the greatest appeal to most people. In the spring we have fragrance of the apple blossom; and in the fall there’s a bounteous harvest of luci- ous fruit (if you have controlled Good Breakfast For a Good Day, Specialist Says Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; but many people skip it completely. Modern breakfasts are keyed to the changing tempo of American life. Huge and hearty breakfasts that belonged to days of hard phy sical labor are no longer needed so generally. As a result of modern ways of living and the hundreds of conveniences at home and at work, most people lead a sedentary life From many standpoints, break fast is the most important'meal of the day. It must provide not only a sufficient quantity, but also the right kinds of food. The quantity of food should be adapted to age, sex and activity of the individual. The kinds of food needed—and nu trients required—are essentially the same for all persons. Miss Jo Earp, food and nutrition specialist for the N. C. Agricul tural Extension Service, says fruit should be a part of breakfast be cause it gives zest to meals, helps prevent constipation, and many have ample vitamin C. Cereals and breads give protein, iron and other minerals, vitamins and food energy. With milk added, you get enough calcium and the B- vitamin, riboflavin. A meat is im portant at breakfast since it pro vides high-grade proteins for body building and repair. Summer or winter, there’s something hot, as a rule, in a good breakfast—a hot beverage, or hot cereal. Something hot is cheering and gives you a sense of well-being. The basic breakfast pattern of fruit, cereal, milk, bread and but ter is a guide to the preparation of an adequate morning meal for most persons, advises Miss Earp.

As the fall of the year approach es, we should think about the many fairs to be held within easy driving distance of most of us, and prepare our entries. Don’t put it off. Get a catalog and carefully follow in structions. Quality and condition of fruits, vegetables and flowers are of para mount importance if you want to make your fair stand out and give the judges a hard time. Condition of the products exhib ited is usually given the greatest weight in the judging score card. It has reference to freedom from blemishes caused by insects and diseases, bruises or growth cracks, whether they be open or healed. Scab on apples, scurf or cracks on sweet potatoes, leaf spot and dam aged petals on roses, etc. Uniformity of the entry is also important regardless of whether the products are displayed in trays, baskets or plates. This is particu larly true for apples, pears, Irish and sweet potatoes, tomatoes, pep pers, onions, etc. Try to select so that all specimens will be as near the same size as possible. Within a variety,.select for medi um size rather than extremely large or small—Irish potatoes about eight ounces, sweet potatoes about six or seven inches long and two and one-half to three inches in diameter. This may give you the Today’s homemaker recognizes the importance of utilizing left-ov er foods if her food budget is to be kept within its limits. But when her family turns up their noses at having to eat left-overs for two or three days, what is she to do? Kept in the refrigerator for any length of time, the surplus loses flavor, dries out or spoils. Her food budg et suffers because most of the left over foods are eventually thrown info the garbage. She herself hard ly realizes the extent of the waste. But the freezer, homemaker is never faced with the problem of presenting successive meals from one roast; of innumerable refrige rator dishes containing a small por tion of cooked food; of single serv ings of pie, cake, puddings, of small quantities of expensive, lux ury foods such as fancy cheese, etc., of paying high, small-unit prices for foods used infrequently or in small amounts. Here are a few budget-wise and welcome additions to more interest ing meals. You’ll think of many more uses fojr left-pvers. PIE D0U(|H—A bit of left-over pastry, rolIe|[ with sharp or bleu cheese addcp, can be cut into straws or rounds, or rolled and cut as wafei^. Bake and store in freezer for salad or soup accom paniment. Celery seed, grated on ion or well-drained chopped oliveS may be added to pastry scraps and used in the same manner. CAKE AND COOKIES—Cake crumbs with a little brown sugar and cinnamon added are good top ping on an open-faced fruit pie or a quick coffee cake. VEGETABLES—^Fold cooked veg etables into your favorite souffle before baking. Use cooked vegeta bles in a thin cream sauce to serve with an omelet. Or, add cooked vegetables to your favorite fritter batter. Cooked vegetables that are not highly seasoned may be pureed or chopped finely and frozen for in fant feedings. Use baby food con tainers in ice cub trays, then pop out cubes and store in freezer in plastic bags. You'll Find a Variety of Tropical Fish at Pittman's Aquarium 137 Middle Street general idea. Carefully select and condition your cut flower specimens. Avoid damage to petals of such flowers as roses, chrysanthemums and dah lias by careful handling and pro tection from wind and car draft. If you are entering potted plants, se lect your best ones. If arrange ments, use suitable containers and watch your lines and color blend- ing. HINTS TO HOMEMAKERS HOUSEHOLD SAFETY PRAC TICES—There are approved work ing methods* and safe procedures for using household equipment.
