FERGUSON, July 7. —The
glorious Fourth passed here with
out unusual mishap. The day was
ideal. With the world in its pres
ent tuirmoil and with our own
liberty in jeopardy we should be
extremely grateful that we are _
permitted to celebrate cur Inde
pendence in peace. In a way the
picture looks dark with Germany
admitedly making great headway
Into Russia, but her progress is
being made at great cost. Percept-
ably she has conquered about all
of Europe but generally speak
ing she has attacked only one na
tion nt a time and the nations
that have fallen are small and
comparatively insignificant. Like
the sticks of the Indian Chief, if
they all had stuck together in
the beginning and put up a solid
front with Britain a different
story might have been told. The
Isolationist theory ha.s been up
permost. Such an idea should and
must be crushed if the democra
cies are to win.

The peach cron now- being har
vested in North Carolina totals
an estimated 2.4.30.000 bushels,
and Ivewi.s P. Watson, Extension
horticulturist of N. C. State Col
lege, say.s it is the largest crop
since 19.31. The 1940 peach pro
duction in the State was 1,344,-
000 bushels.
“The peaches in the Sandhills
section are of good quality for
the most part.’’ Watson declared,
“and there will be no better fruit
hiuy on the market this year than
peaches. If the growers are to
receive a fair price for their crop,
it will he necessary for consump
tion of peaches to rise consider
ably over normal consumption.
Before we ask people in other
states to eat more peaches, we
certainly should do our part at
heme.’’
The latest fruit situation report
of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture indicates a crop of 20,.
840,000 bushels in the 10 “ear
ly’’ states, all of which will be
selling pe."ches during the next
six weeks. This is nearly 30 per
cent larger than last year’s crop.
Miss Mary E. Thomas, Exten-
iion. nutritionist, points out that
peachos-^lther fresh or canned
—supply certain food materials
that the body requires for health
and growth. “Fruits are an ex
cellent source of .sugar for energy
needs of the body,” she declared,
“and they also stimulate the ap
petite and aid digestion.
“They are a principal source of
Vitamin C. which protects against
scurvy and is essential for the
healthy condition of teeth and
gums. Serve peaches fresh, cann
ed, dried, steamed, stewed or
cooked in combination with other
foods,” she suggests.
Mrs. Oornella C. Morris, Exten
sion canning specialist, points out
that recipes for making preserves
and peach pickles are contained
in Extension Circular No. 113,
“Jelly, Preserves, Jam, and
Pickle.’’ This publication is avail
