him what his or her defects are bat
will help to oTercome them. 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. The
boy champion to John Phillips, who
to 11 years old aad weighs 1*4
pounds. His height to i feet and
S 8-4 inches. He to the youngest
of four children, whose parents are
farm people. The lodges gave this
boy a score of 9?.J. his main de
merits being three filled teeth aad a
slight defect In posture.
The champion girl, Dorothy Cas

blonde, who scored} 8.2 3. Her main
demerits were slight defects in gait
and posture. She to the oldest of
three children and spends a great
deal of time oat of doors. Her
weight is 143 and she to nearly five
inches over five feet. She, too, had

Starting with 14 boy members in
4-H club projects In 1*30, Kendall
County, Illinois is expected to have
st lesst 100 enrolled this year, ae-:
cording to F. F. Gingrich, district
club leader. Last year there were
?4 enrolled and the projects were
very successful das to the diligence
of the members and' the active inter
est of the leading farming and
townspeople.
Clab work was organised for the
year at an all day meeting at York
vllle which was attended by IS men
and farm adviser W. P. Miller. Ten
were local club leaders aad the oth
ers represented cooperating organi
sations. Thus within two years club
work has risen frqm a minor to a
Major farm educational movement

pigs, corn and sheep next In order.

TO BALANCE DIET j
Not only doe* canning surplus '

are money in winter and assare the ,
amiljr of an adequate food (apply
>ot it also improves the general '
lealth of the family by balancing the
liet. |
"Some 280 farm women la Pitt '
bounty have learned this important
eeaon," says Miss Ethel Nice, home
ifenL "We hire been studying
oods and nntrltlon la oar 11 home
lemonstratlon clabs of this county !
taring the past two years and we J
lave fonad that good natritloa and .
sanning go hand in hand. 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. My tobacco, ia growing tall
and spindly and blooms too early.
What causes this and how can I cor
rect it?
Ans. This condition Is caused by
a poor root system and may be cor
rected by cultivating so that the soil
will be piled up around the plant,
ithe plant will then put out a new
and better root system which will
result In better tobacco and a larg
er yield to the acre. This is called
the ridge method of cultivation and
definite information may ^ had by
writing for Extension Folder 27 to
the Agricultural Editor, State Col
lege, Raleigh, N. C.
tit
Q. Is It dangerous to use can
ning powders to preserve foods? I
have heard that food canned with
adds in the shape of powder will
not spoil.
Ans. Canning powders are not
wholesome and may cause serious
digestive troubles, but, if by dan
gerous you mean that canning pow
ders will cause death, then we would
say "no" to your question. The sim
ple way to can fruits or vegetables
is by the hot water or steam pres
sure method and any person is ad
vised to leave canning powders out
of the plan and depend on heat
raised to boiling temperature to
sterilise fruits and acid vegetable*
and steam under presaure to Insure
the keeping of meats, peas, beans,
corn, and similar vegetables.
tt t
Q. My peaches are affected with
Brown Rot. How can I control this
at least expense?
Ana. Early varieties such as El
berta and OeorgUT Bells should have
been sprayed before the 20th of this
month with a mixture of 6 pounds
of finely ground dusting sulphur, 7
pounds of hydra ted lime, and Ma
half pound of calcium caaeiggt*
thoroughly mixed and diluted with
M gallons of water to 11 1-1 poands
t of the mixture. The Hale and other
I late varieties should be sprayed
