Proper Stacking Will Pay Peanut Growers! Over Half Million Dol lars Reported Lost ** Last Year North Carolina peanut growers lost more than a half million dollars last 1 year through damaged kernels, ac- . cording to information released this week by B! S. Rich, in charge of fruit and vegetable marketing for the N. C. f : Department of Agriculture. Rich attributed most of the damage to improper stacking practices at har- , vest time. “Most growers know the proper way to stack peanuts,” Rich said, “but ideal weather conditions during the 1949, 1950 and 1951 seasons when the percentage of damaged kernels was very low caused many of them to become careless in stacking last year’s crop. In 1952, the crop was well cured before the rainy season began in mid-November and lasted until March. During this five-month per iod, approximately half of the crop was picked and a high percentage of damaged kernels were found. Most of the damage occurred in the lower part of the stacks where the peanuts were stacked on the ground eliminat ing the circulation of air. Such a Condition delayed drying of the nuts and resulted in moldy, rancid, and de cayed kernels.” Peanuts, properly stacked and cur ed, will stand a considerable amount of rain before any kernel damage is noticeable, the specialist said. He rec ommended that cross pieces be nailed to the poles about 15 inches above the ground. The poles should be large ■enough and placed deep enough in the ground so that winds will not break or blow them over. In stacking, the nuts should be placed next to the poles with the vines to the outside. He also recommended keeping the stacks ■fairly small in circumference in order to permit quicker drying. The main thing to remember, Rich says, is to stack the peanuts so they will cure well and dry out quickly af ter rains. Proper air circulation is es sential in curing and drying and this ■cannot be obtained if the nuts are stacked on the ground. Dates Are Selected For Cotton Week Dates for National Cotton Week in 1954 have been set for May 10-15, the National Cotton Council has an nounced.

Let’s Talk Turkey Remember when turkey belonged on the Thanksgiving dinner table and alongside baked country ham on the Christmas dinner table and no place else except as a leftover? It still belongs there . . . plump, juicy, whole bird with crusty brown skin and good stuffing. It’s a mem ory-provoking thing—savory aroma filling the kitchen and drifting into other parts of the house, family to gether, solemn moment of bowed heads for an expression of extra thanks ... that’s our tradition. Let’s keep it. However, thanks to the freezing process, you could have turkey the' other 363 days, if you so desired. I Turkey “went to pieces” sometime ago. Now you cook any piece of tur- 1 key you choose at any time of the j year. Want to have “cold sliced fowl” on short notice? Take the whole bird (that’s taking up needed space in your locker or freezer), thaw it, cook in a moderate oven. Save some out to eat fresh, cool the other as quickly as you can.. Take it off the bone, wrap, label and freeze. How to cut it? Anyway you like . . . white and dark meat together or separate . . . make use-size packages so you won’t have leftovers that make folks “tired” of eating turkey. Our Turkey Specialist from State College, Bill Mills, says to prepare your own turkeys for freezing, re member to hold the scalding water around 138 degrees to 142 degrees. You will find that turkey is the eco nomical meat to eat, according to Mr. Mills. Schedule: Thursday, October 1—2:30, Center Hill Club at Community Center.
