TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: How should 1
cook meat (or (aiming?
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.

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.

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.
