Funds Are Available To Aid Farmers In Reconversion Raleigh—More than $6,000,000 is now available for the 1946 agri cultural conservation program to aid in the reconversion of North Carolina farmland to meet the demands of peace, G. T. Scott, State director of the production and marketing administration, said. ‘The remarkable farm war record was not accomplished without loss to the soil,” Scott said. “And now, with the war over, this state is again faced with a tremendous job. The suc cess with which this job is done will determine the state’s agri cultural welfare for years to come.” The 1946 ACP program, he said, extends a policy of adapting soil building practices to the different needs of individual states, coun ties and communities. The state allocation of funds has been brok en down into county and com munity allocations based on needs for conservation practices. This method of distribution, Scott said, gives the 9,000 active farmer-committeemen who ad minister the program and have actual knowledge of the conserva tion needs of their county and community an opportunity to con centrate on the practices that will be of the most value on the indi vidual farms. The 1946 ACP program is divid ed into the following types of practices for which assistance will be available: (1) application of lime, fertilizer and other materi als; (2) planting cover crops; (3) harvesting legume and grass seeds; (4) erosion control and wa ter conservation; (5) range and pasture improvement; and (6) forestry. Timely Hints By RUTH CURRENT Recent experiment station stud ies indicate that careful baking time, followed by prompt serving, is important for saving vitamin C in Irish potatoes. Overbaking results in considerable loss of the vitamin. A gentle squeeze is better than the usual twist of the wrist for removing water from a sweater or other knitted garment after washing, say textile specialists. The twisting and stretching of wringing may pull the wet wool so far out of shape that the sweater may never regain its ori ginal size.

Then, if the color is fast, it may be rolled up in a bath j towel for an hour or two. The j towel will absorb moisture. Fi- \ tially, lay the sweater flat and | shaped to its correct size to dry.1 With care, many woolens can be washed successfully but one j rule will not guarantee success at all times. For best results use lukewarm water, a very short washing time, and mild soap. Shrinking and felting are caused ay hot water, alkali and agita- j :ion. Controlling these condi-! ;ions will give the best results possible, but woolens are un predictable and water alone with 10 soap or washing action will cause many of them to shrink. Manufacturers directions should ae followed on this question of washing all woolens. Wash clothes well and you will not have to boil, bleach, of blue them. None of these whitening methods is a good substitute for correct washing and rinsing, say home economists. If clothes are not allowed to become too soiled, and then are thoroughly washed and rinsed in hot soft water, other whitening j should not be necessary. Boiling is recommended only Looking for a Job?

Noted home economists give :he following recipe. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons fat, nelted; 1-2 teaspoon salt; 1-2 cup :orn sirup or sugar sirup; 1-4 cup arange juice; 1 teaspoon grated arange rind; 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes; 1 or 2 eggs, sep arated; 1-2 cup of milk. To make, add fat, salt, sirup, orange juice, and grated rind to the hot mashed sweet potatoes. Add beaten egg polks and milk. Beat well. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour this mixture into a ten inch baked p>e shell and bake. If there were more sugar this pear, there would be more honey for the table. Many beekeepers are leaving extra honey in the colony because they are afraid they cannot get sugar. Potatoes are being diverted into the manufacture of butyl alcohol, an ingredient of paints and lac juers, and a source of synthetic rubber. In Memonam JOHN T. CHOATE Mr. John T.
