Mrs. Mary Hargrove, Rt. 1, Warrenton, said, "Mrs. Davis has certainly helped me In
showing me the correct methods of preparing foods for freezing. I have a new freezer and I
want to fill It because we will need a lot of vegetables this winter. There are 14 In my family."
Mrs. Hargrove and Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, Expanded Nutrition Program Aide, are looking over
some of the food Mrs. Hargrove has frozen.
Expanded Nutrition Plan Helps Needy
Warren County Homemakers
Bj EMILY BALLINGER
In recent months much has
been said about reaching new
audiences with educational pro
grams. This concept has ap
plied to the Home Economics
Extension Program. Through
the Expanded Nutrition Pro
gram which was provided for
by special Federal funds, nu- ,
trltion program aides were em- i
ployed in over half the counties
in North Carolina. Warren i
County program aides have i
been working since April 1,
1969. The four nutrition pro
gram aides in the county are
Mrs. Edith Clark, Mrs. Hazel
Dale, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis
and Mrs. Sally Patlllo. The
aides were trained by Miss
Emily Balllnger, Home Eco
nomics Extension Agent, and
have been working under her
supervision.
The purpose of the pro
gram is to help families not
usually reached by Extension
agents or other agencies to im
prove nutritional quality and
adequacy of their diet. It is
a program whereby the nutrition
program aides work with the
bomemakers In Improving menu
planning, food production and
buying, food preservation and
meal preparation.
The Warren County nutri
tion program aides are at pre
sent working with 110 families
with a total of 745 persons In
these families.
Through their work, the nu
trition program aides have
found that many of the fami
lies are not getting recom
mended dally food requirements
In their diet so they have been
stressing planning and prepar
ing better balanced meals. Most
of the families they are working
with have children so they have
especially been stressing
getting more milk In the diet.
In doing this, they have stress- .
ed the food values In milk and
have shown bomemakers how to
prepare non-fat dry milk and
use It In food preparation. The
non-fat dry milk they point
out has more of the food value ;
of whole milk and Is less ex- j
pensive. This fact appeals to J

the budget conscious home
maker. in addition to emphasiz
ing the use of milk In the diet,
the program aides have stress
ed the proper preparation of
vegetables with encouragement
that the families Include more
In their diets, and they have
methods of preparing economi
cal cuts of meats. Recently,
the aides have devoted much of
their time to showing homemak
ers how to can and freeze
foods, in working with the
home makers, they have found
that prior to their helping them,
they had not been following
recommended food conserve
ti?n practices and had had con
siderable amounts of spoilage
of foods.
Most of the homemakers with
whom the aides are working
have expressed sincere appre
ciation for the aides working
with them and helping them Im
prove their diets. The aides
report they have seen consid

Williams Is Farming
His Ancestral Acres
By L. B. HARDAGE
Extension Chaknnan
Very few young men ere In
terested in farming today, es
pecially those tinder 30 years
of age. Leon Williams, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Fredrick Wil
liams of the Inez community,
recently returned to the home
farm and has taken over the
operation of this farm.
Leon has completed his mili
tary duties and completed a
two year course In Agriculture
at North Carolina State Uni
versity this past January.
Leon states his reasons for
returning to the farm Is be
cause he likes farm life and
feels that In the years ahead,
farming offers a good future to a
young person who Is willing to
work hard and plan well.
Leon's farming operation In
1969 consists of the following:
Cotton, 103 acres; Tobacco, 18
acres; Corn, 34 acres; Cu
cumbers, 2.8 acres; Oats, IS
acres; Hay, 54 acres; 50 acres
of pasture and a small beef
cattle operation.
The tobacco, cucumbers, 6
acres of cotton and 20 acres of
corn Is rented to one-half share
tenants. The balance of the
crops are made by Leon. He
use s 4- row equipment to handle
this large amount of cotton.
All of the cotton was treated
for grass and weed control and
a complete Insect control
program has been followed. His
yield should be from one to one
and one half bales of cotton per
acre.
Leon cash rents the entire
farm except the beef cattle. This
Is operated on a one-tftilf share
basis with his father.
an imusual request tor infor

Purslane.
A lady reader sent ma a
plant for identification. Than
she wanted to know whether or
not the plant, or plant parts,
were edible.
Some of my readers will
recognize Purslane (some
times called Pussley) as a
persistant weed pest in the
home vegetable garden. It
is reported that the plant prob
ably originated in western
Asia but is now widespread in
many parts of the world.
The botanical name of Pur
slane is Portulaca oleracea.
Portulaca grandlflora is a1
popular dwarf annual flower
and is a member of the
family.
Whlla moat people consider
Purslane as a weed to
be rid of, others may want to
plant seed and use the leaves
much as you would the pot
herbs for cooking; or In
salads. B you want to try
this plant, use the variety
Saliva (Portulaca oleraceasat
lval). This Is a variety of
the common. Purslane best
suited for culinary use. Re
member, too, that It does best

ed soils.
