STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKERS By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent A well-planned garden can pro vide the family with most if not all the vitamins A and C needed in daily diets from early summer until late fall, plus such important minerals •s iron. Garden vegetables also fur ltrafc the bulk or roughage helpful to normal digestion. ^ Tomatoes, most popular of all hmae garden vegetables, offer vi tamin C generously, especially if tbey ripen in the sun. Other good vegetables for this vitamin, needed every day for best health, are: cab bage, cauliflower, green peppers and €ae green leafy vegetables of all Kinds—especially if used fresh from Use garden and served raw in salads, qmckly cooked in a small quan tity of water. Even radishes, one of earliest and easiest vegetables to grow, ca$; contribute their bit of C early in the season. After they are fcaevested other vegetables which need later planting may occupy their mce. For vitamin A all the green and yellow vegetables are helpful. By careful planning, a wide variety of greens., is possible from spring un til frost—early leaf lettuce, beet and turnip greens on to broccoli, kale, mustard greeny, chard and col lards. Late in the summer, plant tosEitips, beets and lettuce again for fall greens. Green peas, snap beans and lima beans also contribute vitamin A and C and some energy value into the bargain. Green beans rank second to tomatoes in popularity for home ^^knJens. Pole beans yield well over a long season, and thus often give Mrger returns from garden space and gardner's time than bush beans. Green beans generally offer more in vitamin A than wax beans. Green peas, delicious as they are when fresh and young, take up consider able garden space for food value re turned—a point to be considered in small gardens. In the yellow vegetable group there are carrots, squash and yellow sweet corn for the gardener's con sMeration. Carrots give greater re turns in both yield and nutritive value for the space they use than sqaash and sweet corn, but gardens with plenty of room for planting may; well have all three. NATIONAL FARM NEWS One of the strongly emphasized goals of the Research and Marketing Act is the development of a more efficient system for distributing agricultural products. j World production of rice has climbed back to just about what it averaged before World War II. The national quota in the 1949 spring savings bond "Opportunity Drive" is $1,040,000,000. The North) Carolina quota is $12,000,000. t SO RIGHT! Mint and chocolate are so right; together.^ Next time you make your favorite chocolate pie, add finely | crashed pepperment stick candy to | the meringue topping. Carolina contains 130 species of native trees, 1,300 flowering plants, and 3,600 plants of all kinds—more j variety of plant life than any sim- j liar area in the American Temper-. ate zone.

TATE flione 120-X Marion, N. C Marion Nips Lenoir Red Sox 4-3 After Loisng Monday Night 8-7 In a thrill packed game from the first ball until the last the Marion Marauders out hit and out scored the Red Sox from Lenoir on the high school athletic field Tuesday night to win the contest four to three. * Johnny Lanning placed himself on the mound where he pitched a mas terful game for the full nine in nings for the Marauders. The skip per allowed the visitors only eight hits, biffed nine batters and walk ed none. Cassilino went the route for the Red Sox and gave up eleven bingles. He struck out four men at the plate and gave free bases via the base on balls route to only two. It was really a pitchers duel from start to finish. Going into the eighth inning with the score tied at three-all, after having lead all the way, the Ma rauders decided to settle the issue. Triplett, as the first man up, singled into right field, and advanced to second on a balk. The second Ma rauder man to come to the plate beat out a scratch hit which slow rolled to the pitcher, and Triplett went to third. Skipper Lanning, the next man up for the Marauders, really- won his own ball game as he drove a long one into deep center field as Triplett crossed the plate with the winning tally. Errors charged against the Ma rion team were heavy. Brooks, Beam, Holt, Billie and Yow were charged with one each to bring the total to five for the evening. None were chalked against the Red Sox. Leading the hitting for Marion were Lanrting, Brooks, Billie aftd Bonnetti with two each. Bonnctti was the only Marauder to hit for extra bases For Lenoir it was Burke who had two for four, both for extra bases, one a double and one for a three-bagger. Buffard Jonard, skipper of the Lenoir Red Sox, hotly contested an umpire decision in the second inning when the base umps disagreed on whether an out resulted from a ground ball as a fly ball taken bv first baseman Burke for the Red Sox. First base ump Alley ruled the ball a fly, while thiid base ump Hall said it was a grounder. The game from this point on out was played under protest. The line score: Lenoir 100 000 020—3 8 0 Marion 200 001 Olx—4 11 5 Batteries for Lenoir—Cassilino to Narrow; for Marion—Lanning to Bonnetti. Triples: Burke. Umpires: Camp, Alley, and Hall. RED SOX 9; MARION 7 Despite the fact that big Tom Cumby and Long John Beam each blasted a home run in the Marion Lenoir baseball game played Mon day night in Lenoir the Marauders lost a heart-breaker seven to nine. Beam's homer came in the seventh I with two mates aboard, while Cum by's circuit blow came in the ninth as a singleton. " The Marauders gained one score each in the first three innings to , pace the game, but theRed Sox piled up a lead by getting four runs across home plate in the bottom of tfre third. The locals attempted a come back in the seventh with three markers which fell one point short in tying the score. ]. Yablon started the game for the ; Marauders but took a wiallf in favor of Williams in the sxth, and was. credited with the loss for Marion. Carroll Matso/i and Lloyd Wieder man saw mound duty for Lenoir. Matson worked all of eight innings and part of the ninth for the Red Sox, but Skipper Jonard relieved him in a hurry when Tom Cumby belted his homer in the ninth. Leading at bat for Marion was Cumby with four for five, and for Lenoir it was Casbier, Narrow and Marieno each with two for three.

Did anyone ever get too many lima beans? In the market, they are a luxury crop. Even small home gar dens can grow them, however, and enjoy a rich harvest from a single row, if a pole variety is chosen, and allowed to climb a fence. The foliage is beautiful, thick and glossy green. The harvest starts late, for pole varieties, but lasts until frost kills the vines. Although only the seeds are eaten, the yield for space occupied will compare well with other crops, provided the soil is well fed. Even though your garden soil is known to be fertile, it will be well to use 4 pounds of complete plant food for each 100 feet of row planted to lima beans. All limas are tender and seed should not be sown until the ground is thoroughly warmed and danger of frost is over. They may decay in cold soil. The seeds are so large they are easily spaced and should be planted with eye down to facilitate quick. growth. Tests have proved that this causes a defi nite Increase in germination. Bush limas are of two classes,, large and small seeded; the former bearing larger beans, but fewer of them. The small seeded limas have been improved recently, and new varieties have larger beans, while still producing them abundantly. Small seeded bush limas mature in about 65 days, large seeded bush and pole limas in about 80 days. They have a long season of yield, and will provide beans for the table until frost kills the vines. Bush limas do not bear well if crowded in the row. Plant the small seed varieties a foot apart and the large seeded ones at least 18 inches apart. The pole limas may be a little closer, say 8 inches.

Prominent Laymen Form Commission To Help III Public School' Crisis Aroused by the continuing n^tion wid» crisis in the public schools, a group ot prominent men and women have formed a National Citizens Commission tor the- Public Schools which will work for concerted ac tion by citizen* ii> their local com munities, it was announced May 16. The Commission has received initial financial support from the Carnegie Corporation and the Gen eral Education Board; Dr. James B. Conant, President of Harvard University, hailed it as "potentially the most important move for the advancement of public education taken in the last fifty years." The Commission is composed ex clusively of laymen, many of them outstanding in business, labor, law and publishing. Its twenty-eight initial members are convinced that because of the problems of the times, public schools have never before been so important to the nation. The Commission is the Srst or ganisation of its kind established in this century to devote itself to the public schools. It plans to act as a clearing house of information on public school problems for local groups, and to cite outstanding ex amples of community action for the improvement of public schools. "Professional educators, many conscientious school boards, the Parent-Teacher Associations, and* other groups are working hard for better public schools," Roy E Lar sen, president of Time & Life and i chairman of the group, said. But the problems of public education are so broad that they concern all of us, and! it is time for all' of us to understand and do> something about them." Headquarters of the Commission will be at 2 West 45th Street, New York City.
