How this works to plainly shown In the case of two Indiana elob members who were recently chosen health champions In the annual round-up of club members held at Perdue University. Both of these champions had been in the previous state contest and made Kood scores, bat not good enough to win. So they started In a systematic way after returning to their homes to Improve their health score, and the result was that when they came back to the next contest they won the highest award.

In lttl, here were It canning demonstra ioas given before the club womea tad as a result, 75,258 Jars of traits ind vegetables were saved by can ilag and preserviag. If this food ?as valued at oaly 20 cents a quart, the total would amoaat to $15, 951.(0. While this savlag Is aa im portant item at a time when money Is scarce, the more important thing is the better health of the farm Families having a better balanced liet." Por two years now, Pitt farm women have stndied the valae of the dlffereat foods aad the part they play la nutrition of the body. In 1)21. the womea stadied cereals, vegetables and eggs. So far this year, the stadles have centered about meats, salads aad breads. There are few clab women who do not know the essentials of a good diet and how to prepare meals that will sapply the balanced diet necessary to continued good health. The wo mea are now parchaslag pressure cookers so that they may can sur plus meats and other products. These canners are supplied by Greenville merchants and paid for in fresh and canned produce. Miss Nice says. There are 2,721 white farm fami lies In Pitt County and the goal of the home demonstration forces is to reach each of these this season so *J>at they may serve a balanced diet next winter. PREVENT MA NITRE LOSSES BY SCATTERING IN SUMMER Manure from the barn lot or dairy shed piled out-of-doors aad left un covered daring summer Is not only a breeding place for troublesome flies bat loses considerable of Its plant food valae. Now that the depres sion makes it necessary to get the most from every poaad of farm fer tiliser, It might be wise to scatter this manare la summer If ao good place is available for holding It over until next winter. K. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College, cites the case of aa experiment made in another State where barnyard manure mixed with bedding and left out-of-doors in a pile from April 1 to October 1, lost 41- per cent of Its nitrogen, 47 per cent df Its phosphoric add, 71 per cent of its potash and 17 per cent of It* total weight Cow manare sxpssil in ? similar manner lost 41 per eeat of its nitrogen. It per cent of Its phosphoric add, eight por cent of its potash and 4t per eeat of its total weight. Losses are greatly reduced by tearing the manure in the stafclea where It la wel U ramped and not ex posed to the weather. The smal lest losses occur, however, when manure la not allowed to accumu late bat is spread ont over the land every few daya. This also reduces the fly population of the (arm. Under conditions of North Caro lina agriculture it may be ' difficult to find a place to spread manure In summer but there are always a few such places on every farm, Blair be lieves In late spring and early summer, the material may go around the young corn; after small grain, the manure may go on the stubble land; from August unto January the, manure may go on sod land ready for corn the following year and from January until April, the manure makes an excellent top dresser for small grain. The gar den should be covered at this time and the tobacco land will need a good application, he says. \ TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT STATE COLLBCU Q.
