Recipes That Never Grow Old Like the sunset that happens every night, like the friend you love the most—some things never grow old! It’s the same with certain foods that have won a permanent place on our tables and in our hearts. As fami liar as the paper on the dining room wall, and as homely as that crack in the kitchen sink, a few standbys in the food field appear and reappear, year after year, to win new friends and keep the old. Os course, many of our old dishes are revised, and new improved re cipes render them easier to make. Variations on the old "regular” pop up every month or so, and are eager ly accepted for their steerling worth. Gingerbread for instance, is so old that George Washington ate it as a boy, but instead of using the old re cipe of George’s mother, we just add water to the mix based on her recipe! Too, we serve it with ice cream and chocolate sauce and in all manner of ways Mary Washington would have thought “new fangled”—but the flavor remains dear to our hearts. Rice pudding, too! Nobody knows who made the first rice pudding, but it maintains its regular place on the menu, and boasts 200 variations of its original form. So it goes—baked beans, succotash, ham-gravy, oatmeal cookies, banana-peanut salad—all are old familiar friends which you must have again soon, if you have neglect ed them recently.

Weed Crop Hurt By Hot Weather Hot, dry weather has seriously da maged a large part of the fluecured tobacco crop in North Carolina this year. The heaviest damage has been in the middle belt and the upper part of the new belt. Some sections have lost as much as one-third of the crop. Much of the tobacco that has been harvested in these areas is thin and Eght in weight, although the color is good, said E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco specialist at State College. Weed in the old belt has been suf fering from the hot, dry spell during late July and early August and in dications are that in this area the tobacco will not produce the yields which were anticipated 20 days ago. In the border counties, where har vesting was a little further advanced the growers were better able to take care of their crop, and they suffered less damage than growers in other sections, Floyd pointed out. The weather this year has been about the most variable ever exper ienced by flue-cured tobacco growers in the State, he added. In June the extremely hot, dry weather hurt the older tobacco a great deal, although it did not ser iously effect the younger leaf. In the rainy period that followed, the young plants made rapid gains. The wet weather in July caused about as big a change in leaf spread as has ever been witnessed in this State Floyd said, and a large growth was put out. , Had the weather been favorable during the latter part of July and the early part of August, he com mented, some of the yields would have been exceptionally heavy this year. Brief News Items Farmers over the State are realiz ing more and more the value of silos. The trench silo is growing in popu larity. Nearly 10,000 pounds of poultry has been shipped cooperatively in Lincoln County during the past month with the growers receiving $1,380 in cash at the car door. Farmers are urged to be extra careful in buying pigs this year. Dis ease outbreaks are becoming fre quent in some areas. Every time a truck load of diseased pigs is moved, it may lead to another outbreak of cholera or other disease.

Record Keeping Aids In Herd Improvement Records kept on the dairy herd at State College are considered one of the main factors aiding in the deve lopment of its efficiency and pro ductivity. For thirty years complete records have been kept of all milk produc tion, cost of production, cost of rais ing young stock, the amount and kind of feed consumed, and the methods used in breeding, feeding, and selecting the cattle. The system of herd management is based, on the data thus made avail able for study in the records, said Prof. F. M. Haig, of the animal hus bandry and dairying department. As a result, he pointed out, during the past eight years the average pro duction of the cows has increased 18 per cent for milk and 15 per cent for butter with the cost of production dropping 30 per cent.
