The . placing of poultry wire netting directly over the furnace and flues ( might be of considerable value in ( reducing fires. The furnaie and flues, says Professor Weaver, should be i carefully checked for any de- , fects before the first firing of j the year and between each cure, j Furnaces should be at least two feet longer than the length of the : , j I Farmers ket - ..

Hk I FARM QUESTIONS Question: How can I control bottom-end rot of tomatoes? Answer: Blossom-en rot can be materially reduced, but not entirely prevented, by avoiding the use of heavy applications of nitrogen, especially manure and by supplying additional superphosphate. Also the application of water to the roots of the plants will frequently check the disease. Question: What is an effective control measure for boll weevil? Answer: Boll weevils may be controlled by dusting the cotton with five to seven pounds of calcium arsenate per acre. Applications of the dust should be made at intervals of five to seven days. If aphids become numerous, add 40 per cent nicotine sulphate to the calcium arsenate to make a two per cent nicotine dust. This would be on pound of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate to 20 pounds of calcium arsenate. If the iron sticks during ironing, rub it on a little salt sprinkled on paper or smooth lightly with paraffin or beeswax. A pinch of salt in the starch will help keep starched clothes from sticking to the iron. wood used, so that the fire Is well up from the mouth of the furnace. Furnaces and flues should be well protected by masonry, such is brick work, from parts of the wooden structure. At least twelve inches should be the distance be-, tween any part of the furnace ind a wooden piece. The stacks hould always extend higher than the roof of the barn. 4 1 H THE STATE PORT PILOT, ! HINTS TO ' HOME-MAKERS BY RUTH CURRENT N. C. State College Home demonstration specialists of the State College Extension Service, studying time and motion, have agreed on the following six principles to spreed production on the home assembly line. Leave out any part of the task you can. For example, in dishwashing scald dishes with boiling water and leave on rack to dry instead of wiping dry. Choose recipes requiring less time and fewer utensils. Make both hands work. It pays to learn to use both hands at the same time instead of overworking the right hand. Such jobs as putting away dishes, setting the table and dusting can be done by both hands at once. Keep everything in easy reach. Wasted steps mean wasted time ind energy. Keep the coffee pot, coffee and measuring spoon or cup at the place where coffee is made, and the bread box and toaster side by side. Group ironing equipment?iron, clothes rack, langers, and basket?as near the ironing board as possible. Use the best tool for the task. For example, use tongs to remove jars and glasses from hot: rinse water, and to take baked i potatoes from the oven. A long-' bandied dustpan prevents stooping and saves time. Sit at work whenever you can.] Tired backs and feet slow up work. Much ironing can be done | is well sitting as standing. AI lap table saves effort in prepar-' ng vegetables for cooking and canning. ! Tomatoes grown in the sun on realthy ' plants are considerably richer in vitamin C than those jrown in the shade. Tomatoes produced outdoors have more C :han those from greenhouses. Tomatoes gathered from the garten ufter a sunny spell will offer more vitamin C to family meals han those ripened during dark .veathcr. Tests by scientists at state experiment stations show hat the intensity of light on the riant during growth is of more .importance in increasing this i'itamin than any other factor yet jiscovered. Sunshine alone, however, is not enough. Undernourished, thirsty plants, suffering from loss of foliage, are likely to produce poor-quality, sun-burned fruit. Plants that are unevenly watered or have too much moisture at one time and drought at another ire also poor in quality, even in sunny locations. Sunshine can idd C value only if other conditions are favorable for the plant, nutritionists say. Peaches are plentiful in all paits of the country. Commercially canned fruits will be short this year and point value probably tiigh. Peaches offer fair amounts of vitamin C and, in addition, yellow peaches offer vitamin A. Because they are naturally sweet, peaches need little sugar when canned. Mr. Farmer, Let L And Give you hundreds < vice?It may be a long I Tires Ration-free.
