Add one cup finely ground popped corn, one cup canned moist cocoanut and one* half teaspoon vanilla, and drop by spoonfuls on a buttered sheet Bake in a 325-degree oven for about fifteen minutes. This makes about twenty-eight small cakes. Popcorn Penoche: 801 l two cups brown sugar, twohtbitds cup thin cream and one tablespoon corn syrup to 236 degrees, stirring as little as possible. Add two table spoons butter, and cool to luke warm. Add one-half teaspoon vanilla, and beat until It loses its shine. Add five tablespoons ground popped corn, and spread out in a buttered pan. Be sure that the corn is finely ground. Makes one pound. These Taste Good Popcorn Brittle: Pop two-thirds of the contents of a 10-ounce can popcorn, and then run it through the food chopper. It will make one cup. Make a syrup of one cup sugar, one-half cup brown sugar, one-fourth cup canned molasses, one-fourth cup water, one table spoon butter and one-fourth tea spoon salt, boiling them to 300 de grees, or until brittle. Pour over the corn, stirring as little as pos sible. Pour out immediately onto a buttered slab or inverted pan, and spread very thin. When cold, break into pieces. ♦ ' »•- v» w - \ i*. Almost any farmer can increase this yield to 30 bushels by plowing » under one good crop of legumes, Blair added, while farmers who have i been turning under legumes regularly * for several years think nothing of : making 60 bushels of corn to the I acre. The average North Carolina yield , of cotton in 1934 was 316 pounds to t the acre. But there are records of ; more than 600 pounds of lint per acre raised by growers who are consistent , users of legumes. ! The crop adjustment contracts are ■ resigned to stimulate the growing of • legumes by providing that land retir ed from the cultivation of basic crops : may be planted to farm-improvement , crops. Such crops may be for soil-im provement or erosion prevention, pas turae, fallow, or they may be young forest trees. Such use of the retired acreage may be in addition to the amount of land normally used on the farm for these purposes, Blair commented. Says Red Squill Is Best Rodent Poison Red Squill is rough on rats. But it does not kill domestic animals or poultry. George B. Lay, rodent control leader of the U. S. biological survey with headquarters at State College, said Red Squill is the most nearly fool-proof rat poison known to man. It usually drives the rodents under ground to dig, thereby preventing un pleasant odcl's. It acts slowly, Lay added, and does not scare off late coming rats with the bodies of dead or dying rats near the bait. The best time to put out Red Squill bait, Lay said, is during the winter when rats and mice leave the field and gather in houses, outbuildings, and barns. Flue-cured Red Squill powder is better than the sun-cured type, he pointed out. He recommended that the poison be "mixed with three dif ferent ingredients to provide a va riety of bait. v. A pound of poison to 16 pounds of hatebqrger meat makes a good bait, he said. Or a pgund of the powder 1 may be mixgd with 16 pounds of cheap canned salmon or mackeral and a pound of oat meal. Or mix the poison with 1 pounds of cbm meal and enough water to make' <s k. s crumbly. Usually, he Said, it helps to put out ( some non-poisoned bait for a few days to get the rodents used to eat ing it. Then when the poisoned bait is distributed, they will eat it liber ally.

Her Slogan Won SI,OOO a Year For Life, or $12,000 Lump Sum HOW does it feel to win a thou sand dollars a year for life —or $12,000 in one cash payment? Mrs. J. W. Bloomer of Torrington, Wyoming, can tell you the answer because she has just won first prize in the nation-wide Camay slogan contest sponsored by The Procter & Gamble Company. No wonder she is smiling! Mrs. Bloomer is pictured just after she received the award from Governor Leslie A Miller of Wyoming. Frederick J. Forster, 33 Aberdeen Street, Rochester, New York, took the second Camay slogan prize of SSOO a year for life or $6,000 in one cash payment. The third prize was awarded to Miss Helen McCreight, 2318 West 17th Street, Little Rock, Arkansas. Miss McCreight will have the choice of SIOO a year for life or $1,200 in one cash payment. The three prize winners will be given two weeks in which to choose whether they prefer the cash settle ments or the life incomes. The an nuities, if chosen, will be purchased by Procter & Gamble from a reliable insurance company. A complete list of all prize win ners in the Camay contest will be sent every entrant in the contest, it was announced by the sponsors of the contest. In addition to the 3 grand prizes, 1,210 other prizes will be awarded as follows: 10 prizes of S.IOO each, 100 prizes of $lO each, 100 prizes of $5 each, and 1,000 prizes of $2 each.

Although Red Squill will not kill other animals, it may cause them to vomit, Lay stated* and then there is no need to waste the bait by allowing the other animals to eat it Isl i Aa & . . _ I Why did you buy this j NEWSPAPER?

Answer: An application of 200 pounds of a 4-8-3 mixture should be applied to each 100 square yards of bed. If a lower grade of fertilizer is used it can be supplemented with from 50 to 100 pounds of cotton seed meal provided the meal is thoroughly mixed with the soil. All fertilizer should be broadcast and mixed thor oughly with the top three or four inches of soil. Do not use tobacco trash on the beds nor any manure containing tobacco leaves, stalks, or roots. Question: How can I keep my chickens from picking out their feath res? Answer: The trouble is caused by a small mite that gets into the skin near the base of the feathers and causes irritation. To get rid of this mite the poultry house should be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with a solution of three parts of crude petroleum or carbolineum and one and one-half parts of kerosene. Dip the birds in a tub containing two ounces of flowers of sulphur and six ounces of flaked soap to five gal lons of tepid water. Be sure that the solution gets to the skin. Question: Should the grain ration of dairy cows be increased during the winter months ? Answer: This depends upon the quality of hay and the present milk production. Each animal should have about three pounds of silage each day for each 100 pounds of live weight and all the legume hay she will con sume in two feedings. When the quality of hay is poor, more grain will be required. However, no matter what amount is being fed, if the milk production remains normal then the feeding should not be increased. Ex tension Circular 193 gives the grain rations .for different breeds and amounts of production. This circular will be sent free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State Col lege.
