Agriculturally Speaking Reams Discusses Hope lor New Farming Year By FRANK W. REAMS COMING EVENTS Jan. 8: Agricultural Work ers Council Meeting, Warren ton, 3:48 p. m. Jan. 7-8: Nurserymen's Short Course, State College, Raleigh. Jan. 15-16: 1962 Pesticide School, State College, Raleigh. HOPES FOR A NEW YEAR From what is said and heard here and there Warren County people are entering a new year with hope, a shaky faith and mighty concerned about chari ty. It is refreshing and faith building that our solid citizens desire to give a day's work for a day's pay, but with this per centage decreasing all the time our American citizens have a right to complain and take measures to separate the wheat from the chaff and place a sign of designation on such free loaders. One county official mention ed to me the other day that for the sake of humanity what is wrong with any individual in Warren County who does not earn a reasonably decent liv ing especially in view of the potential sources of income available. A 1957 prospect for a Master Farm Family Award made the same statement and he had no knowledge he was under consideration. Success is attained more or less like constructing a brick building. It is not accomplished overnight but place the bricks round and round and contin uously on top of each other and if you do not get dizzy and fall off you reach a plateau of success and happiness. The suc cessf?f'..ones tell me not to get mixe'd up with those construc tion items that at first glance appear good, that tingle your pride, that create false impres sions, but -select those items; of proven worth and value. True today, it was true yester day and will be true tomorrow. | Our job is to spread the, truth about farming and re lated factors and that is what' ue aim to do. A frequent re-j Joiner to our discussion of farm matters is that is was true last year but not true this year and then wonder if it will be true next year. This leads to some real down-to earth discussion and when the' dust settles most any reason able person soon realize that, a truth yesterday is still a j truth today. As an example, do you re-' memoer when most preachers j reeled and rocked in the pulpit j condemning women who cut' their hair and used lipstick,! saying such was the work of; the devil? Now, this is an ex-; treinely rare case. There is no attempt to discuss the truth1 about such matters, but if It | was sinful years ago, most j women had better put on an asbestos suit because they are; headed for a hotter climate, j Enough about such things,1 were here to help you?how about calling on us? limited time only! 1/2 PRICE SALE regularly I.OO i?snss?] NOW 50* plus tax choice of Roll-On or Cream!

State College We have always associated holly with Christmas. The bright shiny leaves contrasting with the red berries lend color, warmth and meaning. Perhaps it is. not generally known that all sorts of super natural powers were once at tributed to holly. This shiny plane was thought to have power to repel lightning. The eastern Indians believed that holly trees planted near the cabin would act as protectors and ward off evil spirits. Since the leaves of the holly do not readily fall off they also look ed up to the plant as an em blem of courage. Early Christians believed that holly was used to make the crown of thorns for the cruci fixion. The plant was then! called "righteous branch" or thorn of Christ, for the red berries supposedly symbolized the drops of blood on Christ's brow. The legend has it in Brit tany that when Christ was bear ing His cross, a small bird at tempted to relieve His suffer ing by plucking thorns from His brow. The bird's breast became stained with blood and was known ever after as Robin, Redbreast. I To this day in England and ? Germany, it is considered un-! lucky to step on a holly berry, | a favorite food of the robin,! in recognition of the bird's ( charitable act. Many superstitions existed about bringing in the holly j before Christmas. In Wales, if it was brought in before Christ mas Eve, it was sure to cause j lamily quarrels throughout the year. The type of holly brought into the household determined who was to dominate during the year. If the holly was smooth, the wife was in com mand; if prickly, the husband governed. Infusions, decoctions and fo mentations of holly were used for a wide assortment of hu man disorders. In England, a tea of holly bark was a cure for the cough. In France, a decoction of leaves and bark was considered equal to quinine in the treatment of intermittent J fever. A tea of holly leaves | was believed to be a cure of j measles by North American! Indians. A beverage of the berries pacified the squaws of Chero kees and curbed their urge for wandering. The juice of leaves was recommended as a cure for jaundice and was also good for a pain in the side. Other infusions, decoctions and fomentations of leaves, berries bark, or combinations, were used for many other hu man ills?whooping cough, chil blains, tooth ache, kidney ail ments and as stimulants for the nerves and brain. I give credit to the Ameri can Horticultural Society for much of the information used. It was taken from a Special Issue of the National Horticul tural Magazine entitled "Hand book of Hollies" and compiled by Harry Denlinger. There were 26 contributors, all well qualified by training and ex perience to speak with author ity on the subject. Troubles A taxidermist was returning a small stuffed gorilla, which he had reconditioned, to a museum. He put the gorilla in the back seat of his car for s trip and was speeding along when a cop pulled up and stopped him. While writing out the ticket, the cop delivered the usual lecture. He then peered into the back seat of the car. "Who's that?" he gasped. "Oh, her?" the taxidermist said. "Why, that's my wife." Slowly the cop began tearing up the ticket "Drive on, fella/' he whispered, "you've got enough trouble already I" Eat Mere Vegetables An economist at Penn State University says that we eat U par cent more vegetables than our grandparents did?hot less fresh. We eat 90 pounds of processed vegetables out of the 262-pound total excluding spuds, dry beans and Sec. 901, 1941 Machinery Act in Part Provides: "It shall be the duty of every person, firm, or corporation, in whose name any property or poll is to be listed, to list said Real, Personal Property or Poll with the proper list taker within the time allowed by law.
