Weather report: A few weeks ,
ago this area was surrounded by 1
snow . . . There is bpt one thing j
about snow I like; it makes a pre-!
ty picture. There is nothing more
beautiful than a country-side
snow scene.
Yesterday—ln the days of the
long trail drives of the Old West,
cattlemen used a “lead” cow, who
Was unafraid of water, to lead the
herds across rivers or large bod
ies of water. Otherwise the cat
tle if forced to cross water with
out a “leader” would panic and
many of them would drown.
An interesting fact about the
I Old West: It is estimated that
1 some 20,000 men died in violent |
gun battles during the period
: from 1830 to the turn of the cen
! tury.
I Tomorrow Remember the old
j time grocery store, with its pun- !
| gent odors, its boxes and barrels I
and crates. The big cheeses, the
pickle barrel. Everything cut or|
weighed or bagged to order, no j
modern packaging, bottles om
cans? There has been quite a j
change in grocery stores since 1
then. Now practically all gro- 1
ceries are sold in super markets. |
And considering the fact that the (
super market first made its ap
pearance in 1930, tremendous
strides have been made in this
type of merchandising ... It will
be interesting to imagine the kind
1 of grocery stores we may have in
| another quarter century.
Testing Soil
Is Important
Says Oyerman
Will following soil test recom
mendations give maximum
| yields? C. W. Overman, Chowan
County Agent, says that many
farmers feel if they follow soil
test recoumendations they will
make the maximum yield possi
ble. However, to get maximum
i yields all growth factors such as
j plant food, water, temperature,
weed control, and stand must be
at optimum levels. To make sure
that all of these growth factors
were optimum would cost the
j farmer a great deal of money,
j Maximum yields, therefore, are
j not necessarily the yields which
give the greatest economical re
turn to the farmer. |
Farmers then should be inter-!
ested in the maximum profit pos- '
- sible rather than in maximum
yields according to Overman.
This requires good sound manage-'
ment on the part of the farmer.!
Soil test recommendations are
based on average conditions of
rainfall, stand, and other growth
factors. Following soil test rec
ommendations will give the farm
er who practices good manage
ment a good return for every
dollar spent for fertilizer. Get
ting a soil test, therefore, is just
another step in good sound man
agement.
Soil sampling information and
supplies are available from Mr.
Overman’s office and also from
Vocational Agriculture teachers,
the SCS and ASC.

Quick Tricks
By SYLVIA C. MATTHEWS |
Virginia Electric & Power Cs.
Home Economist
v
The best short cuts in all kitch
en work come from having the
right equipment to work with.
Your tools may he simple and
necessary as a bunch of knives
that cut instead of saw, or as
specialized as a cream-torte pan.
But it's a fact that anyone who
cooks without the equipment she
needs is shorthanded.
Here are some quick-trick re
cipes:
Fifteen-Minute Potato Soup
4 potatoes
1 diced onion
crumbled bacon
parsley or chives
Milk. '
Wash and slice potatoes into
saucepan. Add 1 diced onion,
generous sprinkling of salt, then
enough water to cove-r •. Cook,
covered until mushy. With slot
ted spoon, mash mixture well: add
milk until of desired eonsistancy.
Season to taste. Heat. Nice top
ped with crumpled bacon and
snipped parsley or chives.
Crunchy Bridge Bites
1 pkg. Semi-sweet chocolate
pieces
I*2 cups crumbled corn chips
Melt chocolate over hot, not
boiling water. Add corn chips to
chocolate; stir until chips are
thoroughly covered: drop by
spoonfuls onto wax paper. Re
frigerate till well chilled.

las label directs, adding instant
j coffee to each package before

Farm Employer
Must File With
Internal Revenue
Farm employers still have aj
few days to file an employment I
report with the Internal Revenue j
Service for the year 1957, advises j
W. L. Turner, farm management
specialist for the N. C. Agricul
tural Extension Service. The
deadline is January 31, 1958.
1 The report, on Form 943. should
show each employee’s name, So
cial Security number and the to
tal amount of wages he paid each
cash wage worker during the
year. ,
[ Turner points out that a cash,
wage farm worker is covered by |
the Social Security Law If he |
meets either of the following sit-;
nations: (1) He was paid $l5O s
or more, in cash wages during the
year by one farm employer, or j
(2) he works 20 or more days a
year for cash pay from one farm
er.
For 1957, the self-employment
tax rate is 4'a per cent on total !
cash wages, of which 2Vt pel - cent!
is paid by the farm-hand and 2 1 1
per cent paid by the farm-em
ployer.
Turner says every farmer;
should keep the records for each
agricultural laborer he pays or
1 expects to pay taxable wages
! during the year 1958. This ih
| formation should include the:
I name and the Social Security ac

ing that it takes money to keep a fam
ily moving forward to the heller

a heller home for the family, finan

. . . How can you accumulate the
money that makes possible this bet
ter way of living? there's just one
■mre wav: systematic saving. Regu
