Miss rhomas says: "We don't eat enough vegetables?tomatoes, leafy vegetables, and root vegetables; not enough fruits, including berries, grapes, apples, peaches, pears, plums, cherries and figs; not enough eggs in the diet of the average family, and som families have no poultry; not enough milk, cheese and butter, and there are seasons when some families have no milk; and lack of variety in meats?too much pork and not enough beef, veal and lamb." She recommends that gardens be enlarged and a graeter varity of vegetables grown; that more small fruits be included in the family garden; that every family of five have 50 laying hens on the farm on October 1 of each year; that two cows be kept, one to freshen in the fall and the other in the spring r ?

Timalir Fovm HilAcHAtlC XU11V1J A (U1U X^UVOVIVIIO QUESTION: Can I use peanut meal in the laying mash for my ANSWER: Yes. Recent research by the North Carolina Experiment Station shows that high grade peanut meal may be used in replacing 50 percent of the more expensive animal protein concentrates now in general use in laying mashes. Roy S. Dearstyne, head poultryman at State College, replaced from 62 to 94 percent of the animal proteins with peanut meal in two series of experiments where he used the North Carolina laying mash as recommended by the poultry department. There was no reduction in egg production, in the hatchability of the eggs nor in the livability of the chicks so hatched. QUESTION: I plan to set out a small home orchard. Will you please give suggested varieties I of fruits and how to set the -trees? ANSWER: Conditions vary with the different sections of the State and rather than give ' a general recommendation, it will be bettter to write to M. E. Gardner, head of the department of Horticulture, State College, Raleigh, and get his suggestions for trees or varieties adapted to any given section. Prof Gardner will be glad to give your question prompt attention. ; QUESTION: 'I recently visited . a neighbor who grew hybrid corn this season and got a few ears of his corn. Is this seed suitable to plant next spring? ANSWER: Absolutely not. Such seed will likely produce almost anything but will certainly not produce corn as you saw it this year. Nor will the acre yield be as good. It is ' better to get hybrid seed from a breeder but few hybrids have as yet been found adapted to this State. So far, the named varieties have given better acre vields. The North Carolina Ex. periment Station is at work on this problem, however, and hybrids are being developed which , show considerable promise. Mr. Workman lived in Sylva before going to Cherokee county. , POULTRY Nine poultrymen of Sampson County will keep complete records on their farm flocks this year to get a better picture of this enterprise, reports Assistant Farm Agent J.
