ALL the world loves a fair. Busi
ness and pleasure have been
combined in these periodic gather
ings tor thousands of years. The
county fairs of America are the dis
tant cousins of the festival fairs of
ancient Greece and Rome.
The business executives of bar
baric tribes In the dawn of history
found that customers could be at
tracted to their primitive fairs with
their rude merrymaking. Every na
tion In history has held Its fairs
with a shrewd eye on the main
business chance.
Early in the middle ages the pic
turesque caravans paused at the
center of Europe for mutual protec
tion and exchange of goods. From
this crude trading center has grown
the great city of Leipzig and the
oldest and largest goods exchange
in the world. The Leipzig Fair has
been held without Interruption for
more than 700 years.
More languages are doubtless
spoken at the Leipzig Fair than were
heard at the Tower of Babel, but
without any confusion of tongues.
From seventy-four countries In
every corner of the world. Includ
ing the United States, business men
are regularly attracted to Leipzig.
The primitive trading center has be
come a great world market where
8000 exhibits of every conceivable
product are displayed and more
than a quarter of a million business
men assemble.
The 1976th session of the Leipzig
Fair to be held from August 30th to
September 3rd will be the largest
and busiest In Its long history.

Frozen Coffee Cubes Insure Full I
Refreshing Flavor in Iced-Coffee!
' Prevent* Diluting of Flavor. Many Houaewlve* Keep Tray of Coffee
- i>s*. Cube* in Refrigerator During Summer Month*.
HAVE you ever used frozen cof
fee In place of the usual ice
cubes or chipped ice, when serving
Iced-coffee? It is one way to pre
vent loss of the full refreshing
flavor in this popular summer bev
erage which might otherwise happen
because of the ice diluting the drink.
Frozen coffee cubes not only add
a decorative touch to your coffee
service but will cause your family
or guests to enjoy this universal
drink more than ever before. -
Many housewives list iced-coffee
as one of their favorite summer bev
erages because of its ease of prep
aration, the fact that it goes well
with any meal and can be made
from staple supplies which are al
ways on hand in every (cltchen.
Iced-coffee makes an excellent sum
mer drink especially because of its
Invigorating qualities.
In preparing iced-coffee, make It
In the same manner as you would
the coffee for every meal, using the
usual proportions of coffee and
water. Be sure the coffee you use
Is fresh, in order to obtain the fin
est flavor. Vacuum packed coffee in
resealable glass jars is a sure way
to insure freshness of coffee. 7'he
beverage should be placed in a re
frigerator and allowed to chill. Fill
one or two ice trays with coffee and
allow them to freeze.. When serving
iced-coffee, pour it into tall glasses
and add several frozen coffee cubes
to each glass.
If coffee ice cubes are not used,
prepare the coffee double strength,
and while still hot pour over crushed
ice to cool. Sugar syrup and cream
should be served as accompaniments
to this beverage. A tip for house'
wives to remember in preparing
cooling drinks is to prepare a sim
pie sugar syrup for use in sweeten
ing the drink. It reduces the amounl
of sugar needed because it mixes
thoroughly with the beverage and
does not settle at the bottom of th«
glass as is • often the case whei
sugar is used.
EARLY MOLTING HENS
CUT EGG PRODUCTION
Early molting hens, which begin
to difop their feathers in the month
of June, are not worth keeping in
good poultry flocks.
These birds, said R*oy S. Dear
styne, head of the poultry depart
ment at State College, stop laying
when they begin to molt, but they
go right on eating feed and run
ning up expenses.
They do not lay as many eggs as
late mftlters, he continued, and the
eggs they do lay are produced at a
time when eggs are plentiful and
prices are low.
Since early molting is an inheri-l
] table characteristic, they will pass
j this trail on to their offspring if
left in the flock and used for breed
ing purposes, Dearstyne warned.
In hot weather, he added, it is
especially important that only in
fertile eggs be produced for home
consumption or marketing, as they
have a much greater keeping quali
ty than fertile eggs.
Except in the breeding season,
roosters, these with the ability to
transmit good qualities to their off
spring, should be kept ffcr breeding.
If eggs are collected several times
a day during the summer, and
stored immediately in a cool place,
they will keep much better. Wire
baskets which permit air to circu
late freely among the aggs are ideal
for the storage room, Dearstyne
stated.
But even under ideal conditions,
eggs slibuld not be kept in storage
any longer than necessary. A poul
tryman who gets a reputation of
marketing only fresh eggs can com
mand good prices.
Lice and mites propagate rapidly
in hot weather. Infested birds too
Lose their vigor and fall off in egg
production. Dearstyne urged poul
trymen to examine their birds every
few days, so they can check infes
tation as soon as they start.
HOME SHOULD BE WIRED
ONLY BY COMPETENT MEN
Adesuate, safe, and convenient
wiring of the farm home is con
sidered one of the most important
aspects of the rural electrification
program.
To be sure that the wiring is
done properly, said Miss Pauline
Gordon, extension specialist in home
| management at State College, em
ploy only contractors known to be
. reliable and competent.
The contractor is responsible for
doing the job so that the wiring will
be adequate and safe, but the home
owner should determine where
, switches, lights, convenient out
1 lets, and branch circuits are to be
I located.
, Miss Gordon suggested that home
> owners draw floor plans of their
houses and locate switches, outlets,
[iand lights where they will be most
^convenient. Then go Over this
1! plan with the contractor.
II If the cost of wiring according
1 to this plan is too high, the con
tractor will assist the home owner
. in making adjustments.
Above all else, she warned, do
not try to econemzie by using wire
too small to carry the load that will
be imposed upon it.
In planning the wiring circuits,
lights, and take into consideration
the uses to which electricity will
be put in each room. If radio for
example, is to be operated in the

I Farm Questions
I Answered At
STATE COLLEGE
Q. Is it economical to carry
pullets to the hen year for produc
tion purposes only?
A..This question naturally re
verts back to the breeding of the
birds. Heavy producing pullets of
good breeding can be carried over,
but all except the known heavy
producers should be replaced by
pullets. As a usual thing, hen year
production is about 25 per cent
less than that of the pullet year
and the bird must also be fed thru
a three months moulting period
which makes it unprofitable to
carry any but the heavy egg pro
ducers tb the hen year.
Q. When should I begin feed
ing grain to my young
calves?
Answer: Small amounts of both
grain and hay should be offered the
calf at about two weeks of age or
when the change fHom whole milk
to skim-milk is made. Only a
small handful is given daily, but
this amount can be gradually in
creased as the calf grows older un
til it is receiving around three
pounds a day at six months of age.
Feed only as much as the calf will
clean up. The grain should be fed
just after the milk and while the
calf is still fastened to the stanch
ion.
living room, provide a convenient
outlet in the wall close to the place
where the radio will be located.
Plenty of convenience Outlets
should be placed in the walls of the
dining room, living room, and kit
chen. A double convenience out
i let placed in each wall of the bed
j rooms will be a big help.

NIGHT PROWLING CAT IS
DESTROYER OF WILDLIFE
Though the cat is more or less
useful in destraying mice and
other rodents, S. Z. Pollock, wold
life specialist of the Soil Conser
vation Service in Lexington, says
that he is probably the greatest
enemy of tame song bird.
Cats have a habit of
just ready to hatch. T
in capturing y«ung song birds in
their nests, often just when they
are ready to take flight. Cats eat
young rabbits and quail, and when
they have consumed their fill, they
kill for the fun of it.
The practice of allowing cats
freedom at night and early morn
ing enables them to hunt at the
time when thy can be most des
tructive, says Pollock. Some peo
ple have the habit, he continues,
of taking unwanted cats into the
country in sacks and dumping
them, a practice which has
a vicious eiiect upon wuaiiie, as
such cats are in most cases compell
ed to obtain their livelihood by
killing valuable game and insect
eating birds.
All this has a definite relation
ship to soil erosion control, says
Mr. Pollock. The wildlife division
of the Service is concerned primari
ly with planting various shrubs
plants and vines that serve a three
fold purpose «f controlling erosion
supplying food and cover for wild
game, and beautifying the land
scape.
The wildlife, in turn, provides
its economic value as destroyers of
insects and other pests, as well as
enhancing the aesthetic aspects of
farm life. Therefore, Mr. Pollock
reasons, if the cat is allowed to des
troy valuable wildlife, he is an ene

N. C. FARMS NEED MORE
FEED, CATTLE, POULTRY
North Carolina farmers who
have studied agricultural con
ditibns in the state believe they
should producve more poultry, live
stock, and feed, tobacco, and other
cash .crops.
Such a shift in production is need
ed to balance farming to meet loc
al requirements and at the same
time provide adjustments necessary
from a national standpoint, the
farmers decided.
Farmers who made the study were
committeemen avpointed in almost
every county of the state in con
nection with the county program
planning movement started last
December by the state oolege agri
cultural extension service.
The $,919 committemen and
assistants surveyed local conditions
discussed the situation with more
than 50,000 other farmers, and
made recommendations regarding
improvements needed in this state.
A tabulation of aff their recom
mendations, as made by Julian
Mann , who is in charge of extern
sion studies at State College,
brought out the following points,
among other things:
The cottfon crop should be cut
3 5 per cent below the average acre
age for the 1928-1032 period. Al
low for better farming practices,
production would be cut only 9 per
cent.
The corn crop should be cut
slightly, but production increased
from 41, 606,000 to 60,890,00
bushels by securing high yields.
Small winter grains should be in
creased from 807,000 to 1,153,000
acres. Hay crops should be increas
ed from 1,009,000 to 1,328,000
acres. With the yield per acre being
doubleed.
Cattle should be increased from
684,0000 to 926,000 bead, swine
from 94^,000 to i,466,00 head,
sheep from 77,000 to 134,00 head,
to 82,039,000 dozen horses and
mules from 326,000 to 434,000
head.
Eight demonstrations in treating
cotton seed with Ceresan before
planting, in Cumberland County,
showed considerable advantage by
using the material. Few of the
plants died where the seed had been
treated.
