Volume VII. HIS, THAT AND THE OTHER (By -Mrs. Theo. B. Davis) , T. and O. Every year, just about this time, I fid myself envying those women who iy it doesn’t pay to can vegetables nd fruit when they can be bought so leaply, and who have time to rest. always worries me to sea food asted and I wear myself to a fraz e trying to save everything. And must confess that I don’t envy tha on-canners when winter comes. Back in Catawba County they used i make a dessert I never saw any here else—until I made it elsewhera. hey called it “flummery” and made of the juice of dewberries or black rries. Here’s how: Strain and sweet i the juice, bring it to a boil and ieken with corn starch. Add a pinch salt and continue the cooking un the starch will not taste raw and e mixture is quite thick. Pour it to a bowl that has been wet with id water, and when the flummery cold it can be removed by invert £ the bowl. Served with whipped I am, plain cream or milk—or just ved—this makes a dessert far less ssy than the berries in a more lid form. And it tastes very much ■ it sounds. n this day of cold drinks every bit fruit juice should be saved. When j ti want a fancy “punch,” mix to- 1 iher several kinds of juices—say, •ape, cherry and strawberry—add me lemons and enough tea to make e quantity you need. A pinch of ound ginger helps if you like the Vvor. Sweeten to taste and po ? the kture over crushed ice and see if it J ft delicious. Or, if you have enough ; tHt juice, you don’t need lemoas and j ■ 1 ( IS ( n§§ . § < i i i i P l* Great Number Take Treatment There were probably between 150 nd 200 persons taking the typhoid accination here last Friday. This as the first of the series of treat bents, so it is not too late for others >0 begin today. The three treatments vill give immunization for 18 months d the least, and should be repeated every three years. Do not be misled v thinking one injection of the serum will make you safe for one year. It lakes three to be complete. Dr. Flowers says that state and countj ■working together in this way have none wonders for this section; and that he has had but on# case of ty phoid in eight years. HEAVIEST TAXES YET President Hindenburg has laid upon jthe German people the heaviest tax- | es they have ever known. Every per :<°n with a job must pay a tax on it. Fhe dole to the unemployed has been '’'uch reduced. Zrimimt 2\rnm? Funeral of Mrs. Lee The funeral of Mrs. Ophelia Lee I | who died on Sunday was held at her : home near Hephzibali on Monday af ternoon at 2:30. Services were con ducted by her pastor, Rev. Theo. B. Davis, assisted by Rev. R. F. Hall of Fuquay Springs, a former pastor Members of the Hephzibah choir and a quartet from Raleigh sang some of the old hymns that Mrs. Lee had loved. Relatives and friends throng ed the house and yard. After the ser vice the body was taken to Raleigh ! and interred in Oakwood cemetery. | Nephews of Mrs. Lee were pall-bear- J ers. I While she had not been able for months to go about much, Mrs. Lee j had not been in bed many days when I the end came. She will be greatly missed in the community where she had for fifty-four years lived in the house where she died. For more than sixty years she had been a member of Hephzibah Baptist Church, and even when she could not attend its services she kept her interest in its work. One son, Ed Hugh Lee, survives, with two grandchildren, and a great-j grand-child. J. I. White Badly Hurt Mr. Jno. I. White, book-keeper forj the Consumers Exchange, bought himself a new Chevrolet coupe last Saturday and started to visit his family in Nashville. When about t three miles this side of Nashville, he 1 met two other cars filled with colored t men. The first one side-swiped Mr. \ White’s car, striking the front left i fender. His car spun around and the f second one struck it, turning over. ' Mr. White had two ribs right hip dislocated, knee bruised and j i other minor injuries. He is in thep hospital and hopes to be out against before long. His car was wrecked, t \nd when we say wrecked, we mean! ,recked. Both the other cars were ; hevrolets. one a coach and the other sedan. None of the cars had been driven over 2,000 miles. There were six passengers in each of the two colliding cars. Eight of them were carried to the hospital, and some of them are reported to be in a , serious condition. No blame so far . has been fixed for the collision. , 1 ANNOUNCEMENT I < There will be a Laymen’s Meeting at the Wendell Methodist Church on 1 Sunday morning at 11:00. Hon. Kale ' Burgess will speak. Zebulon laymen 1 are asked to be present. 1 growing dahlias 1 Dahlias may be grown in central ’ nd eastern North Carolina with the ame success that they are propagated i the mountains if the proper varie es are used. The plant furnishes ’ ome of the most beautiful and color-U ul blossoms to be had in any flower | arden. L The "flower produces a wealth of j bloom in a multitude of colors at a time when other outdoor flowers are scarce. It blooms constantly from Line until frost and there are thou sands of varieties with a wide range >f color combinations. In size, the doom varies from one to 15 inches in oiameter. While dahlias are peculiarly adapt ed to the western section of the state, there are many varieties suitable for the warmer sections. Probably the five best and most sa tisfactory dahlias for the central part of the State are: Treasure Island, Jane Cowl, Jerseys Beauty, Fort Mon mouth and Mrs. Ide ver Warner. Some new introductions may surpass these but they will have to be unus ually good. There are several other varieties whicfi are also satisfactory for this section. These are: Roman Eagle, Sagamore, Buckeye Pride, Barbara Redfern, Chemar’s Eureka, Regal, Kentucky and a number of others equally as worthy. The controversy frequently arises ar to the relative merits of roots and plants Plants give as good results 'as do "the hills grown from roots in Mr. Schmidtls opinion. The principal objection to plants is that their root increase is not dependable, especially i in adverse seasons. However, plants - cost only one-half as much as roots • and make excellent blooms. I A compliment always passes for more than its face value. Zebulon, Wake County, N. C., Friday, June 17, 1932. “WOLF! WOLF! !”—AND HERE IS A WOLF j Owing to there being so many names of people on our subscription list who have not paid for sometime, we nave had considerable trouble in getting the list revised correctly. We do not want to leave any one c name off that ought to be on our mailing list, nor do we want to stop the Record of any one who wants it. These are the reasons why we are still sending the paper to all whose names are on our mailing list. Probably the subscription of half those getting the paper expired in 1931 or even before. We have been sending it to them since the first of this year, think ing they wanted the Record after we had shown them that we intended making it a real newspaper for this section. If you don’t want the Record, then send us fifty cents (stamps or money) and we will stop it. As we have said, before, send us a postal saying you want it and you will pay later, and it will be sent to you till the end of the year. But the cry of “wolf” is real. Every name of un- ’ paid subscribers will through necessity be dropped before July unless we are notified to the contrary. And, our readers should remember that unless a subscriber notifies an editor to stop his paper, he is under obligation according to the law to pay for the time he receives the paper. 1 Now, send us that postal that you’ve intended send- j ing for the last month, or if you have a dollar bill ly ing around that you can’t use, send it; we can! , Lawyer Slugged And Robbed Dunn.—David Williford, city at- j torney for the £own of Dunn, was knocked down and robbed of $1,136 j belonging to the town one night last! week. Williford was on his way to attend a meeting of the town board ; ‘ and Jura over to them the money! which he had collected for the town j j when someone slipped up behind him i, ir. a dark alley and slugged him. He j, was found a short time later lying I, face downward and unconscious, with , his pockets turned inside out. j; No clue as to the identify of his |, assailant had been discovered up to ■ Tuesday night. j, i MAY DESTROY PROFITS ' 1 It is a wise plan to use home-grown l feeds for poultry but it is a poor ( policy to substitute poorer feeds in 1 an effort to keep down expenses. To | do so may cut deeply into the profits , to be expected from the flocks this , season. 1 “Poultry has suffered along with ( other farm crops but due to the drop ( in feed prices in proportion to the j prices being received for eggs and 1 because of the mild winter permit- ling production to stay at level, poul- 1 trymen have been much encouraged | to go ahead with their work,” says', Roy S Dearstyne, head of the poul- < try department at State College. “However, some poultrymen have at- ] tempted to increas etheir margin of , profit by decreasing the feeding or . substituting certain feeds which do , not give as good results. One of the main substitutions being prac- ] ticed is to use vegetable protein feeds for animal protein feeds. Soybean meal nad peanut meal are good if ( used in limited quantities but they; should not entirely displace the animal protein especially at this season of the year when production is heavy and the eggs are being used f° r hatch ing.” I Any radical change from the usual, methods of feeding at this time is likely to be reflected in the hatcha bility of the eggs or the livability of the chicks. Mr. Dearstyne says. The I breeding hens should be fed so that they will produce only the highest quality of eggs. Mr. Dearstyne insists that green Mr. Dearstyne insists that green feed, plenty of sunlight, an adequate; mineral supply and milk in some form should be fed the birds to get the best eggs for producing healthy, chicks. If the breeding birds are to go through a long laying season and maintain body weight, they must be fed a balanced ration. It is particu larly unwise to depend on grain feeds alone without mash. BRITAIN WANTS REPORT The British Consul General in New York has been instructed by his gov ernment to draw up a report on the suicide of Violet Sharpe, servant at the Morrow home, in New Jersey. The suicide is said to have been caused by insistent questioning by the ' police as to her knowledge of the Linibergh kidnaping. CONTROL OF TOBACCO BUD WORMS ANI) HORN WORMS < ! Bud worms and Horn Worms usual- j ly do considerable damage to many of r the tobacco crops of this county, each ; year. They can be very easily con- , trolled, however, and it is no£ neces- ( sary to hand pick them as many fann ers do. , . . »«► . The tobacco bud worm is the same insect as the corn ear worm, and usually prefers corn to tobacco. This makes it very easy to control £hem with poisoned corn meal. Carefully mix 1 pound of Arsenate of Lead to 50 pounds of corn meal, and place a small pinch of this mixture in the 1 buds of the young plants during the early morning hours while the buds are open: (l£ is very important that the poison corn meal be placed in the top of the plant in and around the bud) Quite a large number of tobac- 1 co growers have been using this mix- ' ture for several years, and have re ported excellent results in bud worm control. In case you wish to make j up only a small amount of the mix ture, use 6 heaping table spoons full of Arsenate of Lead to 1 peck of ' corn meal. Do not wait until the crop 1 is seriously damaged before applying | the mixture. Begin now and repeat £he application about every 10 days to two weeks until the plants are top- j | ped. This will give almost 100 per- ( cent control for bud worms and help control the early horn worms. Crops that are being damaged by horn worms should be sprayed or dusked for the control of these in sects, however. Make up a mixture of 1 part Paris Green to 5 parts of Arsenate of Lead, and use from 1 1-2 pounds to 2 pounds of this mixture to 50 gallons of water. Spray the plants wi£h this spray as often as necessary. Those who have good dusting ma chines can also get good control by dusting their plants with Arsenate of Lead at the rate of 4 or 5 pounds per acre. These mixtures are recom mended by our Experiment Station and have given good results during I the past few years. Do not allow tobacco insects to f | damage your crop this season, but control them by the use of these pois -1 ons. Jno. C. Anderson, County Agnt. CONGRESSMAN.
