Photo Flowers Photo Shop, Black-Eyed Pea Said To Be Coming To Own The southern pea U coming into its own. For 290 yean this vegetable call it southern pea, cowpea, black eyed pea, field pea, crowder pea or whatever ? hai been a Tar Heel favorite. It'i "black-eyed peaa and hog jowli" for many a table on New Year's Day. And all year around the succulent pea graces Tar Heel menus, until it's almost a staple food. Until recently, fanners and gard eners selected and developed their own varieties. Then plant breed rs went to work and they've come up with many new kinds of peas, resistant to disease and nematodes, with better quality for home use and processing. "We've tested about 90 varieties of southern peas at Castle Hayne," says J. M. Jenkins, Jr., who runs the Horticultural Crops Research Station there. "One has yielded more than 9.000 pounds of green pods per acre." The folks at the station have found that the Dixilee and Gray Crowder varieties are consistent high yielders. "Brown Sugar Crowder yields somewhat less than others, but it's a good variety and popular in many areas," says Jen kins. The number of peas you get from a pod is a big factor in pick ing the variety to grow, whether in a back yard garden or by the acre. A good variety will shell out better than 90 percent, and Dixilee and Gray Crowder have passed this mark in tests at the station.

Many va rieties have black or dark "eyes," and *ome are ipeckled or marked in other ways. Pod* may be green or purple, varying in length from three to ten inchei or more. "The teit of a pea, of courae, is in the eating," aaya Jenkina. "Some people like ? certain type or color; but moat are pretty well satisfied if the dish ha* the deli cious flavor and conaistency they've learned to expect. "The southern pea has qualities that juat can't be beat by many other garden vegetable*." SWEET OLD LADY SELLS DOPE Los Angele* ? A government at torney pointed toward gray-hair ed, 61-year-old Mr*. Betty Caro line Taylor, and told the court: "We've been looking for thi* aweet, *mooth-talking little lady for the paat twenty year*.

Mrs. Taylor denied any wrong doing, the officer* said. Celery Has Many Uses Celery make* good eating, whe ther served in its crisp, raw form, or blended in with cooked dishes. Celery Is good "aa Is," with a little salt. Stuffed with soft cheese It becomes a festive addition to most any meal, or served generous ly, it becomes a salad in itself. Its crispness and delicate flavor combine delightfully with softer fruits and vegetables in salads. Celery tops and leaves add flavor to vegetable soups. The piquant flavor of chopped celery leaves also can be imparted to a meat or fish loaf. Although overlooked quite often by many homemakers, cooked celery is tasty when served as a separate vegetable. For a long time, celery was a luxury food appearing only on the most important days during the holiday seasons. Now that celery is grown in many areas of the country, fresh crisp celery is avail able the whole year. Celery is available in the stores now and homemakers should use the vegetable often in their menu plans. Six months of planning set stage in Algeria. German Reds urge pensioners to join labor force.

Poppy Day To Be Observed Again the day drawl near which we observe a* Memorial Day. a day set aside honoring the mem ory of our heroes who lave their lives in all the wars at our coun try. We the women of the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary are happy to have a part ia this observance through the sale of the little red poppy. After World War I the poppy became a symbol and is now made by our disabled veterans and sold by the American Legion Auxiliary In this way the disabled veteran can help themselves and give as sistance to their families and loved ones. They are disabled and in this way they earn some money; but most of all it gives them a sense of security, a feeling that they are to some extent independent. Won't you plesse think about them and the reasons why they are disabled and wear a poppy when you are asked to do so by one who represents them to you? ? Mrs. Troy Norris, Auxiliary President.
