ANSWER: There are several ways to pre-cook meat for can ning. It is recommended that if meat is to be cooked before it is canned, that it should not be more than half done. "It can be browned quickly in a small amount of hot fat in a frying pan; it can be roasted in an oven; or it can be stewed or boiled. Do not add salt to the meat until after it is packed in the jars. It is also emphasized that a pressure cooker is essen tial in canning meats and that other methods are not safe. 11?11 QUESTION: What Is the best period (a rid cattle of lice? ANSWER: Fall is the best sea son of the year to treat .rattle for lice. If the ? cattle are treated while the weather is still fairly warm and before they are put in winter quarters, this will pre vent infesting the liarn with the biting louse. It is suggested that two treatments be made, about 14 to 16 days apart. The first treatment gets the grown lice and the second treatment the lice whtth were not hatched at the tirst treatment. " II? T QUESTION: What can I use ?s a substitution for lioneiueal in the hog ration? ANSWER: When the supply of bone meal began to get short, it was recommended that 10 pounds of ground limestone. 10 pounds of steamed bone meal, and live pounds of 'salt as a mineral mix ture to be kept before hogs at all times. Since it is practically impossible to get bone meal, it is now recommended a mixture of 10 pounds of ground limestone and 2 pounds of salt. Prizes were War Stamps.

Lambeth * ? ??*?? ? * ? ? Raymond Wood of the Edward Best Community has cut 140 bales of serlcea lespedeza hay in two mowings, from a three acre plot of sericea and expects to get an other cutting this season. Mr. Wood is well pleased with the quality of the hay but says that it has to be cut when it is young and tender to get the best re sults. H. H. Price. Colored Extension Agent, assisted technicians of the Tar River Soil Conservation Dis trict 15?t week in preparing a complete soil conservation plan on the farm of Ben H. Canadv. colored farmer of Kranklinton. Route 1. Ben has recently pur chased his farm through the as sistance of the Farm Security Ad ministration and is interested in ail all round soil conservation program. He will retire the steep er hillsides to kudzu and sericea lespedeza. Three acres will be seeded down in meadow strips and five acres seeded to perman ent pasture. Four acres of cut over woodland will be spot plant ed in loblolly pines and a 1w) acre stand of young pines will be thinned. I George Cook clipped the weeds in his pasture alongside the Lou J isburg-Kranklinton highway last week. One of the best plantings of black locust trees in the County | is located on the P. G. and M. iG. Smith farm. The young locust have been planted almost five i years and have made excellent growth in that time. In the next [six to eight years good sized fence I posts can be cut from this plot. Although many farmers are !very busy at the present time with their tobacco crops, they are al ready thinking of planting win-j ter covei1 crops such as crimson clover and Austrian winter peas. \ It is the opinion of most farmers' in this section that the main rea son for the failure of these win ter legumes is the fact that they have been planted too late in the past. Arthur Kearney, colored tenant on the Jerry F. Williams farm near Franklinton, cut two acres of good kudzu hay last week. The War Food Administration says that civilians will receive about. 70 per cent of the prospec tive supply of canned vegetables, [including soups, and 53 per cent of the canned fruits and juices in the next year. o Seamon Sam says: "Many girls find life a ticklish proposition."
