Volume XVIII. This, That, and the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis For several canning seasons I steered clear of those jar tops that have the sealing compound ah ready on a metal disk and a ring to go around it. The first ones of the kind I used went on jars holding tomatoes and they did not all keep. I blamed the tops. But this year neuritis in my wrists kept me from feeling safe about the old-style Mason tops —I could n’t screw them on as tight as I wanted and 1 bought dozens of the new sort. It is only fair to state that not one jar spoiled, and I used them for both fruit and vegetables. As I've said be fore, this year I canned no toma toes the day they were picked, grading them the day after; and I found numerous imperfections that might have gone into a can the first day. Did you ever hear that greas ing a new oilcloth with lard be fore using it will keep it in good condition longer and prevent dish es sticking to it? We bought a new one for the kitchen table last week and my son’s wife gave it a rubdown with lard .washing it off with warm soapsuds. And it does seem to help considerably. If, like me, you have wanted an afghan, but had no time to crochet or knit it, you may be pleased with an idea I found in a magazine. It advised taking square or rectangular pieces of wool cloth and crocheting borders around them with colored wool, then joining all the blocks till the desired size is reached. Good way to use up odds and ends of wool and of cloth, and I do want to make one. It might be well to put a row of machine stitching around each piece before beginning to crochet. I'm trying another idea, for my small granddaughter’6 Christmas present. She can't read, so this gives away no secret to her. I have begun a bedspread for her, of unbleached sheeting with “bal loons” all over it. The balloons are circles of pink, blue, green, yel low, red and lavendar, fast-color, put on like applique, and each is to have a string, in black outline 6titch. We held a family consultation to decide whether the ‘b’loons as Lynn calls them, should be grouped or put on as if drifting across the spread. My husband, strong for sym metry and order, insisted that they be bunched in the center. Selma and I inclined strongly to ward the drifting. The colored help er, Elsie Earle, said nothing, but looked on until doubled up with laughter at the argument. Ferd was, for once, neutral. But since Selma turns down the raw edges of the circles after I cut them out and I am the one who sews them on, those ballons drift. They don't all drift alike and some of the * Strings dangle differently from the rest, but Lynn will like the whole thing when it is done. Whenever I give a present I think of something Mrs. Wiley Broughton said when she saw me i.years ago crocheting a narrow, sjimple edging. She asked me what T meant to do with it and, told _ it was to be given my sister, said, 1“I know you mean well; but, if anything at all, I think Bio better than that.” Those Be nunued on base fcurl Zebulon Stetorb North Carolina Farmers Are Completing Units AAA Compliance Program Brings $3.00 Per Acre Thousands of North Carolina farmers are sowing Austrian win ter peas this fall in order to com plete their AAA soil building un its. They hope eventually to re ceive a payment of $3.00 per acre for turning under the legume. E. C. Blair, Extension agrono mist of N. C. State College, says the far-sighted farmer will sow winter peas even though he has earned all his Triple-A soil build ing units. “The peas pay much bigger dividends than the $3 per acre government payment,” he as serted. Using tests carried out by farm ers in 1941 as the basis for his statement, Blair said that winter peas turned under in the spring will increase the yield of corn that follows as a summer crop by sls worth per acre. Here are reports of several dem onstrations conducted by farmers in cooperation with their county agents: In Bertie County, W. J. Mizelle turned under a crop of Austrian winter peas and produced 48 bu shels of corn per acre without fertilizer. Adjoining land of the same type, where no peas were turned under, yielded 28 bushels of corn per acre. The latter field received 250 pounds of 3-8-3 fert ilizer and 50 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. R. R. Rouse of Lenoir County made 44 bushels of corn on land where peas were turned under, and 19 bushels per acre on a field where no legume was grown. This was on very sandy land, and the entire crop received 200 pounds of 2-10-6 fertilizer and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. On black swamp land in Pam lico County, John Cowell grew a fine crop of peas last winter. They were turned under and the corn that followed made 70 bu shels per acre. The corn was not fertilized. An adjoining field yield ed 40 bushels per acre, without peas.

Davis The peach borer is one of the most serious pests attacking the peach tree. Its presence is indicat ed by a gum or jelly-like subs tance at the base of the tree near the" ground line. It may be con trolled by the use of Paradichloro benzene (P. D. B), ethylene di chloride emulsion, or by picking the borers out with a knife com monly known as “worming.” Paradichlorobenzine may be used safely on peach trees four years oP-age and older. On young er trees severe injury may result from its use. On 4 or 5 year* old trees use three-fourths of an TAR HEEL BEAUTY Pictured is Ava Gardner of Rock Ridge, now in Hollywcxid in pictures. Masonic Home Needs SIO,OOO The Oxford Orphanage at Ox ford, North Carolina, has a rec ord of sixty-seven years of service to the children of North Carolina. Over 5,000 have been cared for and trained and the Home is filled to capacity all the time and has a waiting list. Its graduates and former pupils are in all walks of life. It is the oldest orphanage in the State and the only fraternal order orphanage in the United States that receives children other than those of the membership of the supporting order. At the present time 50 percent of the population of the Orphan age is of Masonic parentage. The annual budget of the Or phanage calls for $170,000.00. This provides shelter, clothing, food, recreation, heat, light, books, school supplies, health program, staff of trained workers, voca tional training in several depart ments, laundry, repairs and up keep to buildings, grounds and equipment, and experienced case work for a family of more than 330 children. Superintendent C. K. Proctor announces that $10,000.00 is need this year for operating expenses in order to balance the budget. The Oxford Orphanage is more than a philanthropy—it is an in vestment in the lives of Nqrth Carolina boys and girls who would not otherwise have a chance. It pays to the State and its citizen ship high dividends in character and trained young people. It is an opportunity for North Caro lina citizens to express in a sub stantial way their desire to help ethers. Orphanages of the State use the Thanksgiving season as an occa sion to appeal to citizens for much needed assistance. and older trees one ounce per tree. The ground immediately about the base of the tree should be cleaned of grass and weeds without dis turbing the soil any more than is nesessary. Apply the proper amount of P. D. B. in a contin uous-band about 1 or 1 1-2 inches from the trunk of the tree. Sev eral shovelfuls of soil should be placed on the ring of crystals in the form of a mound and packed with the back of the shovel. The mound of soil should be removed in about 4 to 6 weeks depending on the age of the tree. On 4 to 5 year-old trees remove the mound in 4 weeks; on older trees in 6 Zebulon, North Carolina, Friday, October 31, 1941 Board No. 3 Lists Inductees For October FJeven Included In Latest List of Local Croup The following named men have been selected for induction by Lo cal Board No. 3, Zebulon, N.

Rain at Last The light rain which fell on Monday night was not enough to do much toward breaking the long drought, but it helped great ly in relieving the situation. Fall ing’ gently, practically the entire rainfall was absorbed with no washing of soil. It was the second shower of the month, which fol lowed a dry September, the two with August making a new record. Now that there is a trace of moisture in the air, look out for frost. The time of application is im portant if good control of the borers is expected. The applica tion should be made from October 1 to November 1. The use of Ethylene Dichloride Emulsion has recently been found to be very effective as a control for peach tree borers. It has some distinct advantages over P. I). B , in that it may be used safely on young trees, is effective at low soil temperatures, may be used throughout the fall and spring, a minimum of soil preparation is necessary, and the mounds do not have to be removed.

This was the ninetieth 100 per cent consecutive meeting, only one member being absent, who did not make up his attendance. The ab sent member was Ferd Davis and we arc certain he will not let us down. Rotary Anns accompanied their husbands. The banquet was held in the Ricks Hotel. There were • nine Rotary clubs there, as fol lows: Bethel, Elm City, Farm- , villc, Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount, Weldon, Wilson, Tar boro and Zebulon.

The price will be thirty five cents for the meal, which in cludes pie and coffee. The public is invited. mended by the manufacturers of the emulsion should be applied by wetting the soil immediately sur rounding the tree. No preparation of the soil is necessary on loose level ground. In some cases, how ever, cupping the soil slightly toward the tree trunk to prevent the liquid from running off, or loosening the soil around the tree sufficiently to permit the liquid to be readily absorbed will give better results. Several shovelfuls of soil should be placed against the trunk of the tree after treatment to prevent surface loss of the fumigant. The treatment requires no later attention tional emergency as their services can be spared, regardless of the length of time remaining in their enlistment. If the emergency ends within a period of several months, those enrolled in the Naval Reserve will not be required to complete their 4 year term in active service. Opportunities for advancement, to learn skilled trades, for travel and adventure are identical whether a man enlists in the reg ular Navy or the Naval Reserve, and his pay, food, clothing, medi cal and dental care are the same.

In this case the trees should have a mound of soil placed around the trunk about six inches high in early July. This will make it easier to lo cate the borer during the worming process in the fall. In November or December the mounds should be torn down and the worms re moved with a sharp knife. During the process the cuts in the tree should be made vertically so far as possible. After the tree has been wormed the soil should be placed back around the trunk of the tree Mrs. C. E. Flowers Local Chairman In Seal Drive Other District leaders Are Published Now Col. John W.
