LIVESTOCK PROGRAM ENDORSED West Raleigh, N. C.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD Building has been almost at stand-still since the beginning of the European War. This was brought about because of the high pnee of lumber,, scarcity of labor and the high price of various things that entered into the construction of buildings. The time has now come to get busy on the building proposi tion again, the sooner the better. There is no use to Wait for low prices because it is doubtful if we ever get bacK to the price levels that existed before the war. Other thing are going to stay, com paratively high as long as farm produce remains high and certainly all of us want to get all we can for what is produced on our farms. So let's forget about this proposition of waiting for lumber to go down to build. It has been estimated that the next ten years will see practie all of the pine lumber in the South cut out and I would not be at all surprised to see lumber go up in stead cf down. Therefore, go ahead with the building as needed. It is a good business policy to do this. The Progressive Farmer. REDEMPTION PRIVILEGE M WAB STAMPS EXTENDED Washington, D.

CAN ING TROUBLES Rubbers give more trouble than anything else. Most of them are of very poor quality and cannot bear heat. Always test rubbers before buying and insist on a good red or gray rubber. The Good Luck rub ber is a good, durable kind, SHRINKAGE OF WATER IN JARS. This is due to the fact that the vegetables contain air in their pods and tissues and wnen this air is driven off by heat, the boiling water rushes in to take its place. To remedy this remove top from jar ten minutes before canner. and pour in boiling water until can is full. Replace tops and allow jar to remain ten minutes longer. TO PREVENT BERRIES or Fruits rising to the top plaote in a tain cotton bag (cheese cloth or: Hour sack) and plunge into boiling water one minute, then into cold. l.This softens it just enough to pack close ly without mashing and when jar is processed the jar will be full of fruit and not juice vvith little fruit floating around. If sugar is added in the form of syrup a much better flavored fruit is the result I lb. of sugar to 1 gal. water or more if de sired. To prevent fruits from becoming discolored plnnge into cold water until ready for use but be careful not to allow to remain in water long enough to change flavor. STRING BEANS. To can string beans select those that are young and tender and few strings. The Stringless Green Pod is a good varie- ty. Be very careful to . grade beans and always can the same day they are gathered. In canning always and makes the flavor of beans bet ter. Pack into sterilized jars to 1-4 inch of top and fill with hot water, add one level teaspoonful of salt (instead of hot water and salt, a brine may be used: one gallon of j water and 3-4 cups of salt.

Be careful not to set hot glass jars in a breeze or on a cold table top. "RAT-SNAP BEATS THE BEST TRAP EVER MADE," MRS. EMILY SHAW SAYS "My husband bought $2 trap. I bought a 50c box of RAT-SNAP.

E. Cooke died Friday night and was laid to rest in the Balsam Grove cemetery Sunday morning, Mr Cookes health has been very bad for the past year. He was 84 years old. Was married to Miss Artie Wood 60 years ago, Moved from Buncombe County to Caney Fork 35 years ago. Mr. Cooke fought in the war between the North and South 53 years ago. He Cooke leaves 5 boys and 3 girls all mar ried, two living in the state of Washington. The writer has enjoyed many hours hearing Mr. Cooke tell of the many years ago wrien Caney Fork was first settled. Only three more of the old timers left at Balsam Grove, Mrs. E. A. Cooke, age 84 years, Mrs. Nancy Jones age 91 years, Mr. David Shuler, age not known. Out . countv .

Ti, i:j. iixi, nuiucuai l. 1UC OHUC6 shown by Mr. Sloss were almost a failure caused by too much light in the room, but Mr. Sloss gave us some good information on raising stock. Mr. Brammer made a short but interesting talis on community Fairs, Mr. Bramirur asked every one in the house who wanted a community Fair to stand up, and practically every one in the house stood up. Mr. Brammer had a smile all over his face, he said he was delighted to see so many people out and to see them so interested. The writer is just-50 with Mr. Bram mer on mmmunity Fairs. I think it will-be the best thins ever gotten up4n Western North Carolina, if they are carried out in the way they should be. Community Fairs will arouse an interest in every thing. Mr. Johnson will try to raise finer stock than Mr; Jones, and Mr. B will try to raise finer stock than any body, and thereby every body will be raising fine stock and in a few years our couiry will be fill ed with fine stock. Community Fairs will not only be a great help to raising finer stock of all kinds but it will be oie of the greatest helps along the line of education ever known. Every school should get in terested. There are four different schools in Caney Fork township. Every school should make an effort to see which one can make the best record. Boys and girls from every school should draw maps and all kinds of drawing, see who can beat writing, we should have spelling matches between the various schools at the community Fairs, and many other things which will interest the boys and girls. Will write more about community Fairs next time. Miss Winnie Hoopsr of this place went to New port News, Va., last week. Miss Hooper was from there going out to Virginia Beach to see the Atlantic.
