Negro Nome Demonstration News By MRS. ONNIE S. CHARLTON. Negro Home Demonstration Agent Four home demonstration club wofften met in the office Friday to begin making plans on the 1959 program of work. The discussion centered on needs in the different projects. From our needs, objec tives and goals will be made for our monthly home demonstration club work and county activities. Those present were Mrs. Lucy Willis, Cisco; Mrs. Mattie Jordan, Center Hill; Mrs. Cleo White, Green Hall and Mrs. Mable Jor dan, Edenton. I made several home visits last Week and I would like to bring td'your attention some results ob tained when a family plans and works together. I was at Mrs. Rfxie Roberts’ home, Route 1, Edenton, and she said, “come into the kitchen and see what our children helped us get this sum mer.” There I saw a large cabi net sink with running hot and Cold water and an electric hot wa ter heater. Her children—Leon, Ella and Donald, are all in school but they worked this sum mer and gave part of their earn ings on this project, so, as they said, “mother can enjoy this con venience now.” Leon is a junior at A. and T. College, Ella a fresh man this yea | at State Teachers’ College, Elizabeth City and Don ald a senior at Edenton High School. I know there are other families, too, in our county who are making similar progress by planning and working together. You are asked to give me the details. Let us continue with the im portance of a good breakfast. Last week we discussed what’s in a good breakfast and what a good breakfast does for us. Most families like a change in their breakfasts. Here are a few Suggestions. The,fat in the spread for your bread or in fat meat helps break falt to stick to your ribs. That’s because fat digests slowly and stays by you longer than most foods. Most folks like a change now and rgain. Below are a few ways to get variety—and maybe sur prises— into breakfast. Enjoy old-fashioned shortcake for breakfast. Split biscuit and spread with butter or margarine. Use berries or other sweetened ffiiit as a filling and top. Serve with generous portions of whole milk or with cream. Use stale bread to make an old fayorite—french toast. Dip bread in a mixture of egg and milk or egg and tomato juice. Brown carefully in a little fat. Brown in a little fat slices of left-over oatmeal or other cook ed cereal, or com meal mush. To slice and brown well, it must be thick and cold. Chop cold potatoes and heat in a little fat, then scramble them with eggs. Broil or fry tomatoes —red or green—and serve with bacon. Scramble egs with tomatoes. To serve 6: Beat together 6 eggs and a cupful of cooked or canned to matoes. Season, and cook in a little fat over low heat, stirring constantly, until as firm as you like it. Split left-over rolls, biscuits, muffins, or corn bread. Spread with butter or margarine, and toast in the oven. Or make ba con rolls by putting crisp brown bacon into toasted rolls. Take a tip from New England and have Saturday night’s baked beans for Sunday morning . . . Seagrcmrs JL Croum lip*'* Seftjromij L W T <S *" AM 1H HAM £ perhaps with codfish cakes and brown bread. Mix fruits—berries with sliced peaches, for instance, or sliced ba nanas with orange—for change of flavor, and when you haven’t enough of one kind to go around. Vary cooked fruit flavor. Sprin kle apple sauce with cinnamon or other spice ... or with raisins or chopped dried fruit. Add orange or lemon slices to prunes, figs, or dried peaches.

Camels have been used by Mideasterners since ancient times to transport goods and an international ensis oi t\so isn t going to change things. IL “I have tomatoes growing on my potato vines. How come?” This is a perennial question and here is the perennial answer. Maybe some day the public will become well enough informed so that this question will not pop i up every spring through the press. The seed balls found on the po tato plant contain true seed of the potato. These true seed are used \ by the plant breeder to produce new varieties. Parents are se lected and crosses made on the flowers in the greenhouse. When the seed balls mature, the seed are removed and the cross classi fied. Then the seed of each cross are planted. When they come up, and while the plants are very small, they are set in two-or three-inch pots and grown until 1 tubers form. The small tubers in each pot represent a potentially new variety. We grow thousands of them each year. It is an in teresting story.

There are two types of wilt. Fu sarium and Bacterial. Resistance to Fusarium has been obtained by breeding but the job of licking the Bacterial wilt problem is yet to be accomplished. Two teachers of Vocational Ag riculture came to see me last week. They were loaded with plant specimens they wanted identified before rooting cuttings. I found lace bugs on some of the plants which reminds me to re mind you to keep the sprayer or duster busy on your shrubs, fruit trees and vegetable crops. 4-H Club News By CATHERINE AMAN Assistant Home Agent This week starts a new year for the 4-H program in Chowan County.
