The Spirit of Christmas
Although Christmas day comes
but ohce a year its meaning and
purpose should be kept in mind
throughout the year. “Good will
-and peace on earth,” the theme
that’s been known down through
the ages as the real meaning of
Christmas, or the advent of the
•Christ-child, is a theme that is of
particular importance in this pres
ent war-torn world. The opportun
ity is open to each one to do his or
her bit in spreading this spirit of
peace and good will among com
munities and nations to the end
that it will bring about an early
and lasting peace among people of
all nations. Those unable to go
into the actual battle front may
find numerous other ways in
which to serve their country knd
the betterment of humanity. Let
the spirit of Christmas continue to
prevail throughout every day of
the coming year.
Your Horoscope
For thousands of years, man has
believed that he can read his fu
ture in the stars. Here’s a few
horoscopes which might deter
mine the destiny of persons bom
within the limits of these two
dates, namely, Dec. 23 to Jan. 20:
You are an idealist in many ways
and will suffer accordingly. You
will meet with many reverses but
few temptations. You should over
come your sensitiveness. You have
a natural gift of wit and optimism
and should develop it to great ad
vantage. You are unselfish, sym
pathetic and while forgiving, you
never forget an injury. You are
diligent, studious and self-reliant
and capable of great achievements
if you conquer your fear and wor
ry. You would succeed in literary,
mathematical and musical profes
sions. ,
Guess This Conundrum
Here’s a conundrum that you
might put on your thinking-cap
and try for the answer: What is it
you cannot hold for 10 minutes,
though it’s lighter than a feather?
Worth Remembering
Time heals many things but
worrying about them never does.
We should be more inclined to
compliment and encourage than
to correct. The fellow who says it
cannot be done is likely to be in
terrupted by someone doing it. Let
us dare to expect that this war
storm does not mean the end of
the world but rather the dawning
of a new day. Be sure your world
is not one in which things happen
but one in which things are done.
The youth of a nation are the trus
tees of posterity.
Bell-Hop Suit
The Bell-Hop type suit is ideal
for the young and slim and is al
ways a favorite with teen-agers. A
new model seen recently in one of
the store windows is in beige vel
veteen with a natty short double
breasted jacket. The skirt is of
dark brown woolen with a center
seam in front and inside tucks
from the waistband. Pockets are
made in with the side seams. A
brown and beige striped taffeta
gilet ties in a crisp bow in front of
the jacket. It’s an attractive outfit.
Conundrum Answer
Your breath. Think harder next
time.

CULLING FLOCKS

Suggestion Made Because
Of The Rise , In Price Of
Feeds For Poultry
Because of the rise in the prices
of feeds and the decline in egg
prices, North Carolina poultry
growers should thoroughly cull
their laying flocks and maintain
as high egg production as pos
sible, says C. F. Parrish, in charge
of Poultry Extension at the N. C.
State College.
He suggests that flocks be culled
at night, when the birds will be
disturbed as little as possible. In
using a flashlight, the grower can
take the loafers from his flock
and save feed costs. The non-lay
ing hens show a pale, dry comb,
which is shrinking up and scaly.
The face has a yellow tint. In the
beak and eye-ring, the yellow col
or reappears when laying stops.
“Most heavy breeds and all yel
low-skinned varieties of poultry
show these changes in pigmenta
tion, or bleaching out, except such
white-skinned varieties as Orping
tons”, Parrish says.
He points out that the comb of
the laying hen is soft, warm, waxy
and full of blood. The face is
bright red, and the beak and eye
ring is bleached out and white.
“In culling hens, late molters
should be retained as breeders, if
the grower plans to reproduce his
flock from the present group of
hens”, Parrish says. ‘Cull out but
do not sell out”, was another com
ment.
The non-laying hens or pullets
which are culled from the flock
can be used at home or canned for
future use, or they can be placed
on the market
Parrish warns that poultry not
fit for food should be killed and
buried deeply, as a disease con
trol measure.
The USDA has announced a 1944
program for winter cover crop
seed which will support prices on
hairy vetch, common vetch, crim
son clover, and rye grass seeds at
levels from five to 40 percent
higher than last yeear.

FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
*1" •• .. - — — . i
QUESTION: How can I find out
about what foods are most
needed in the war effort and
which are best for me to
grow?
ANSWER: State College Exten
sion officials suggest that you
see your county agent, a
member of the Agricultural
Workers Council, a represen
tative of the Ward Board, or
the neighborhood leader in
your coYmnunity. “Food fights
for freedom” drives are now
being held in all parts of
North Carolina, war crop goals
are being discussed, and 1944
cropping plans are now being
made. Attend one of these
meetings, if possible.
QUESTION: Should I select eggs
of some given weight for
hatching?
ANSWER: C. F. Parrish, in charge
of Poultry Extension at State
College, suggests that best re
sults are obtained from eggs
that run about 24 ounces per
dozen. He also suggests that
you pay particular attention
in getting well formed eggs,
of good shell texture, and of
the color which is proper for
the breed you are growing.
Eggs which are small, round,
short or thin-shelled should
not be saved ffor hatching.
During the cold weather they
should be carefully stored to
prevent chillinf.
QUESTION: How can I prevent
waste of food in the home?
ANSWER: State College home
economists suggest a proper
planning of meals. Purchases
of food should be watched
closely. Food should be stored
in a dry place and kept from
freezing. Get the maximum
food value from all left-overs
is another suggestion. To
avoid waste in the preparation
of foods, these home econom
ists advise cooking vegetables
in skins, whenever possible;
the use of small amounts of
water; seasoning less popular
foods in a more appetizing
way; the use of new recipies;
and the saving of outer leaves
of vegetables for stews and ,
soups.
