Reccommd Red
Polled Cows For
Small Farms
Red Polled cattle are a dual pur
pose breed and as such they have
not gained as wide popularity in the
United States as the strictly beef
and dairy breeds.
As the name indicates, this breed
is red in color and the cattle have
polled or hornless heads, say live
stock authorities at State College.
They rank high as milk produc
ers, it was stated, and herds which
have been selected and bred for
milk production have made exceed
ingly good records for both milk
and butterfat production.
Although they are not up to the
standard of the strictly beef herds,
authorities say, they have a place
on the small farm where they pro
duce enough milk for the family
use and at the same time produce
steers for market that are superior
to regular dairy cattle as beef ani
mals.
in general, Ked XJolIed cattle are
medium in size. Both the head and
neck are longer and leaner than are
desired in strictly beef type cattle.
Although the body has not as
much flesh covering as the strict
ly beef breed animal, it is well rib
bed and the hooks are smooth.
The hind quarters lack the thick
ness and depth of the beef breeds,
yet they are superior to those on
cattle of the strictly dairy breeds.
Livestock men point out that the
lack of fat covering on Red Polled
cattle is not a serious handicap,
for consumers do not like large
quantities of fat on their meat.

Smart Trimmings
Give Zest To The
New Spring Suits
Smart accessories give new life to
dresses and suits carried over from
last year, said Miss Willie N. Hun
ter, extension clothing specialist at
State College.
Collors, ties, jabots, and scarfs—
either tailored or fussy and frilly—
add a piquant touch to the '"slight
ly tired dress.” They may be made
of silk, satin, or pique.
Gloves give a zip to tailored cost
umes, she stated. They may be hand
crocheted or of soft washable
leathers, or fabrics in bright colors
that accent the wardrobe.
"Then there are clips and bout
onnieres of bright spring flowers.
Flowers for the lapel, flowers for
the hat, more flowers than you ever
saw before,” she pointed out.
"Big natural-looking bunches of
violets, huge carnations in white,
red, or navy blue seem to be fav
orities. Miniature fruits, cherries,
blackberries, oranges, carrots, apples
and even pea pods, are to be found
in the shops.”
Handkerchiefs show splashes of
color to match the color accent of
the wardrobe. Bags may be of
leather, but they can be made of
suede or fiori to correspond with
the suit, coat, scarf, hat or gloves.
A new blouse is a good stimulant
for an old suit that still has lots of
wear, ut isn’t quite as fresh as it
used to be. Blouses are made from
numerous materials in cottons,
linens, and silk. They may be
white, pastel shades dark colors, or
in prints.
To make smart color combina
tions in a spring costume, be sure
the color of every item corresponds
to one or two other items. Never
use more than two items of bright
color.
There are a lot of people who
will despise you if you are poor,
and hate you if you are rich. You
just can’t please everybody.

Are you going to have a flower
garden this year? You would if
you could spare the time and if you
had a spot where the soil wasn’t
so poor. Of course we all would.
Gardening is the most healthful
and pleasant exercise, and the re
wards in a wealth of colorful frag
rant bloom richly repay all the of
fort and time we give to it, how
ever small and poor our garden may
be.
The matter of poor soil need not
stop us, and neither should the
question of time. There are a few
annuals that may be depended upon
to give you bloom in almost any
soil that may be worked at all.
They are all of the easiest culture
and may be seeded right where you
want them to bloom, and with a
minimum of effort to see that they
get water enough, they will bloom
very nicely. Here is the list: Por
tulacca, Verbena, Ice Plant, Sweet
Alyssum, Cockscomb, Kochia, Nas
turtium, Petunia, and Batchelor
Buttons.
We had Nasturtiums blooming to
perfection last year in a garden spot
that was nothing but an ash pile
covered with an inch of soil on top.
If you plant nasturtiums in rich
soil they will all go to foliage and
be a total loss. Even the new and
marvelous double nasturtiums arei
perfectly hardy and easy to grow.
Beds of portulacca, the old-fash
ioned rose moss of Grandmother’s
day, require very little attention in
return for their myriad of gay
blooms, Petunia and verbena
planted together will bloom all sea
son long in a variety of bright
colors. Sweet Alyssum makes at
tractive, ever-blooming borders, and
Cockscomb, Kochia and Batchelor
Buttons offer taller plants for the
background.

SOIL PROGRAM MODIFIED
TO REACH MORE FARMERS
The soil-improvement program
has been made more flexible so that
a greater number of farmers will be
able to qualify for payments
Originally, the program specified
that a farmer must have an acreage
off soil-improvement crops equal
to at least 20 per cent of his basej
acreage of cotton, tobacco, or pea-'
nuts and at least 1$ per cent of his!
base acreage of other soil-depleting
crops.
Under a new ruling said Dean!
I. O. iSchaub of State College,!
growers who fail to meet the ori- j
ginal minimum requirements can'
still qualify for partial payments.
For each acre by which they fail
to meet the minimum requirements,
a deduction will be made in their
payment equal to one and a half
cimes the rate of the soil-conserving
payment on crops other than cot
con, tobacco, and peanuts.
In North Carolina, the soil-con
serving payment, for taking land
out of soil-depleting crops and put
ting it into soil-conserving crops,
will probably be around $10 an
acre, except in the case of cotton,
tobacco, and peanuts.
On cotton and tobacco the rate

We never thought of the cadets
at West Point as being particularly
fond of poetry. However, about a
hundred years ago they very defi
nitely were. In March of 1931, one
of the cadets was expelled for ab
senting himself from roll call. He
came to New York and published
a book of poems dedicated to the
corps. Most of the West Pointers
purchased copies. The author was
only 23 at the time, but this w*s
his third published book. His
name was Edgar Allan Poe.

production of the land taken out
of these crops, and on peanuts the
rate is 1 1-4 cents a pound.
Another ruling provides that
acreage planted to winter cover

it has been in vegetable crops will
be classified as soil-conserving if it
is turned under as green manure be
tween January 1 and October 1,
1936.
However, the cover and manure
crops must have been growing at
least two months before being turn

National Revolutionary party to
vote in "internal” elections. These
are similar to our primaries. It is
estimated that 16,000 women are

this they could vote only on rare

Invested In My Services
Will Change The Whole
Atmosphere of Your Home!
Just at this time I am emphasizing what I can do for women in the
kitchen. Through the use of an electric range I can save you hours
upon hours of time every week in your kitchen—and the hours
you do spend in the kitchen will be pleasant. There will be no scrub
bing of pots and pans, no oven-peeping. I make your kitchen duties
simple and easy.
Why don’t you use my services?
If you have had some erroneous
impression regarding the cost
of using me let me correct them.
Two things especially I want
you to know:
Ilt is just as easy for you to buy an
• electric range, with all of its extra
advantages, as it is for you to buy an
ordinary cook stove—and you will get
far better value dollar for dollar.
It costs no more to operate an electric
-nnge, according to the testimony of
thousands of enthusiastic and happy
housewives who are using them, than
it does to operate an ordinary code
stove. _
— i . __i_ .
The Duke Power Company has open at the present time—and only
for a limited time—its annual special offer on electric ranges. You
can get one for a down payment of j55 and finish paying for it at
the fate of less than 351.00 per week. m i
Lady, you are not fair to yourself unless you investigate what an
electric range would mean to you and look into the special on
electric ranges.
